Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - December 2020/Janaury 2021 (Issue 80)

THE BARN AT COTT FARM 01935 864 211 | www.cottfarmwedding.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? With stunning views across the Somerset countryside, The Barn at Cott Farm is nestled in informal grounds that are teeming with cottage-garden blooms in the warmer months. There’s a large lawn for outdoor games, and over a small footbridge is the venue’s camping field. The fire pit and wood-fired pizza oven keep the chill at bay. The cosy heated barn combines rustic charm with style and comfort. The original doors open to reveal modern tri-folding glass doors, making the entrance flexible in all weathers. The wooden beams are strewn with fairylights, and the coir carpet, handmade wooden furniture and apple-crate bar offer a blank canvas for couples. Windows and skylights flood the space with sunshine during the day, while soft lighting provides a cosy ambience at night. LET’S CELEBRATE! Couples wishing to take their vows in the great outdoors can do so in front of a congregation of up to 150 under the majestic wooden pergola. For indoor ceremonies, the barn also holds up to 150 loved ones. In the evening, couples can invite up to 300 of their nearest and dearest to enjoy the whole building and grounds, complete with its large, canopied outdoor area. Venue hire includes exclusive use from the day before the wedding, making setting up a breeze. Packages include bespoke menus – from sharing platters to traditional three-course meals. WE LOVE… Guests will adore staying overnight in the luxury furnished bell tents before enjoying a full English breakfast in the morning. CROWCOMBE COURT 01984 618 752 | www.crowcombecourt.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? Set at the foot of the Quantock Hills is Crowcombe Court. With its lake, hydrangea beds, kitchen garden, lawns and wild woodland, the venue provides plenty of stunning backdrops for photographs. The magnificent Grade I listed squire’s mansion was built in English Baroque style in the 1730s from amber-coloured bricks with Bath Stone pilasters and frontispiece. Once inside, visitors find sumptuous interiors and 11 superb rooms with king-size beds, Edwardian furniture and luxurious en suites. LET’S CELEBRATE! Ceremonies take place in the grandeur of The Great Hall (100 guests) with its intricate Italian plasterwork and flexible layout. In the warmer months, the bandstand is the perfect outdoor ceremony location, overlooked by the spectacular Quantock Hills. After the formalities, bespoke wedding breakfasts can take place in The Victorian Ballroom (100 guests). Its high ceilings and stunning chandeliers make it a wonderful space for newlyweds to celebrate their first meal as a married couple. After this, the nightclub-style vaulted Undercroft has a stage, dancefloor and bar just waiting for a celebration. WE LOVE… Couples can make use of the new Getting Ready Room. Designed for pre-wedding prep, it features make-up stations, mirrors, an en suite bathroom and plenty of space for champagne and photos! https://grw .photography https://dhw photography.co.uk www.emi lyfairweatherphotography.co.uk www.wor diephotography.com 22
