RIVER COTTAGE, AXMINSTER Nestled in a valley, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, River Cottage is a working farm within 100 acres of countryside set against a beautiful backdrop of rolling hills and stunning sunsets. As the farm is exclusively hired for the wedding day, guests are encouraged to explore the entirety of the property at their leisure, meeting the animals, including the pigs and enjoying the rural surroundings. The 18th-century Threshing Barn is an impressive and versatile space boasting rustic charm and character. Ceremonies, receptions for 120 loved ones and the wedding breakfast for up to 70 guests are held here. The famous Kitchen Garden is at the heart of River Cottage and is where much of the fruit and veg that feeds guests is grown. The Kitchen Garden provides a picturesque setting for an outdoor ceremony of up to 120 guests. The garden is also a stunning spot for a drinks reception, with guests free to wander, admiring the organic vegetable patches while sipping a glass of fizz and listening to live music. The wedding menus feature the finest, seasonal, organic ingredients sourced from local farms and fishermen, as well as using produce grown and reared at River Cottage. During the planning of the wedding, the team will arrange for couples to meet with one of the talented chefs where they can collaborate and design a bespoke wedding menu featuring their favourite dishes.
