Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - October/November 2020 (Issue 79)

Tie the knot in… SEDGEMOOR AND NORTH SOMERSET ALDWICK ESTATE 01934 864 404 | www.aldwickestate.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? Not far from bustling Bristol is this idyllic country farm venue. Panoramic views flow gently through the gardens before skimming Aldwick’s verdant fields to the River Yeo at the farm’s south boundary and Homefield Vineyard to the west. From the valley rises a patchwork of distant farms, fields and forests to the summit of the Mendip Hills. This pastoral beauty sets the scene for memorable photographs. The venue is the perfect marriage of historic and modern; all the charm of a rustic 17 th -century farm is happily united with the comforts and efficiency of the 21 st century. LET’S CELEBRATE! The venue comprises two adjacent stone barns linked by a main reception and the inviting brick-walled Cellar Bar to the rear. The barns are licensed for ceremonies with up to 150 guests. The Old Barn boasts architectural features of the bygone dairy farm, while The New Barn is a light and open space with neutral interiors waiting to be decorated to the couple’s taste. Delicious, bespoke menus are provided by Taste Buds Catering and can be designed to complement the nearlyweds’ wishes. Wine for the wedding breakfast is produced using grapes grown on-site. WE LOVE… Newlyweds receive a complimentary wedding-night stay in The Forge, a well-appointed apartment situated in the grounds. www.cros sjonesphotography.com www.flyn nguardphotography.co.uk Capacities may change amid the coronavirus pandemic.
