We had our wedding at Mount Pleasant Eco Park and I couldn’t recommend it enough! The site is absolutely beautiful and was perfect for our wedding day. Very relaxed vibes but can be tailored to be as formal as is appropriate for you. All of the staff were amazing on the day and the Wedding Manager, Sarah was so helpful in the planning stages and really enabled the day to proceed without any issues. We had a lot of freedom to decorate which made the day very special to us and had the barn, atrium, courtyard and amphitheatre to ourselves which are all beautiful spaces. The food from the Canteen was amazing and all vegan which some of our guests were pleasantly surprised by! The day was completely amazing and we are very grateful to the team at Mount Pleasant for helping us achieve our dream wedding!

We had a fabulous wedding at St George's last summer! The staff were fantastic and really communicative whenever we asked questions about the venue. They were really accommodating for random requests, and helped us with last minute changes. It was one of the cheaper options we found in Bristol, but was an absolutely perfect venue for our wedding of around 90 people, with plenty of space, both inside and out, and built in bar/loos/changing rooms. It was a beautiful day, and we can definitely recommend!

The barn itself is amazing but the fact you get Joss and the team as well just make this place the best!! Being a little Ott when it comes to being organised I was a little worried when it came to planning but I’ve definitely met my match with Joss, there is nothing she doesn’t know or can’t help with from the second we viewed the barn nothing was too much trouble! The team on the day were all amazing. We always knew we wanted a relaxed day and that’s is 100% what we got. We couldn’t have wished for a better venue!! Thank you Joss and team 💕

We considered a number of venues but instantly knew the James Turrell Skyspace was the perfect venue for our wedding – as we both come from creative backgrounds we loved the idea of bringing our friends and family together in this beautiful and very unique setting. The planning was made so easy by the team at Tremenheere and we felt free to plan our day the way we wanted it to be. Many of our 50 guests had never visited Tremenheere before, everyone was blown away by it and we all had a wonderful time exploring the gardens, taking amazing photographs and enjoying a celebratory drink following the ceremony.

Karmacations is an absolute dream - we are so pleased we chose here to get married. The place itself is beautiful and tranquil - picture perfect. Kitty, the owner is the most wonderful lady to have on board to support you with your wedding. Her knowledge of events and want to make everything perfect for you is beyond what we had hoped and she really helped make our day the dream we had envisioned. We had the most perfect day at Karmacations, it was everything we had dreamed it would be and we were so glad to have chosen this venue. All the stars!

We saw this place online searching for an elopement venue and through photos alone felt like it was very us so we gambled and booked it without a visit to secure the date. The venue, accommodation, beautiful bouquets and button holes created by Babs, a visit from figgy the owl and all the details in between were better than we could have imagined. They call it an exquisite tiny wedding and it was just that! The venue is so quaint, unique and charming from the wallpapered ceilings, stain glass windows, vast country views to the scented candles and beautiful furniture and design details throughout the property. It was the most beautiful back drop for our special day. The place is a very artistic, expressive, elegant and fun space. We also enjoyed a very delicious and thoughtfully put together champagne hamper breakfast to start off the morning and the jacuzzi and unpolluted night skies were a bonus to end a gorgeous day. As a worrier and the bride (who had little to no sleep the night prior for nerves) somehow managed minimal anxiety that morning. I felt like everything was on track and I didn’t need to worry thanks to Babs, Perla and Joe who were all so on hand and helpful. They made us and our family and friends feel very welcomed and relaxed and were very much part of the party; even their cute little dachshund named coco came to say a very polite hello. The most magical part of all was our return for the hand fastening ceremony at twilight. We were provided a lantern and so as the sun was setting we took a romantic walk through some fields before entering the woodland where we spotted the twinkling hornbeam circle lit up by fairy lights and candles. It was very romantic. We were very happy and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a small wedding or indeed to elope. For us, it was near enough a perfect place to become husband and wife.

I’ve followed the Negus journey at Cotswold airport since it began. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be able to hold our wedding reception on it!! It was an out of this world incredible evening. From meeting Amy on day one to the main event she was amazing and couldn’t have done more to help us plan our dream evening. On the evening, she went above and beyond in taking care of us making sure we were all having the best time. The Dj setup to the lighting rigs and all the original features still onboard, Negus has been restored beautifully and all our guests were in awe. Anyone that loves aviation, this is a must!!

After sacking off all the stress & hassle of planning a big wedding we decided to book a secret elopement, just the two of us… and it couldn’t have gone any better! Little Silver Weddings is truly something special. From our first planning zoom call to the day we drove home as Mr & Mrs, Lisa & Peter were AMAZING! As someone who stresses & overthinks EVERYTHING, I can honestly say I have never had such a relaxed and happy day! Lisa is so warm and her wedding planning skills are wizardry! She really did think of everything! They have assembled the best team of local suppliers, who managed to create our dream day in just over 3 months!! Stunning flowers, delicious vintage style wedding cake (my dream!) and the most amazing evening meal - all enjoyed in the most gorgeous of locations! Not to mention the best photographer on the planet, who made the whole wedding photos experience so relaxed and fun. As an autumn wedding I was a little concerned for the weather but it held & we were able to be married outside in the Victorian Grotto, overlooking the Taw valley. Such a magical place to say ‘I do’. Another brilliant aspect of Little Silver was the built in mini-moon, meaning we could really relax and enjoy our first few days as a married couple. We chose to stay in one of the shepherds huts, which were warm, clean & beautifully curated - definitely a touch above glamping! We especially enjoyed having a glass of champagne in our hot tub. So if you are thinking of eloping then absolutely give Little Silver Weddings a call - you will not be disappointed!

We chose this venue because we wanted to serve traditional food that we enjoy at our wedding, and this was one of few places where we could have external caterers. The venue also included all the cutlery, crockery and tablecloths we needed, which other places didn’t provide. The hall is very versatile, with the ability to close bits off or open them up depending on the number of guests you have. It’s also very fresh and neutral decor-wise (apart from the coloured chairs), which makes it easy to decorate it to your taste. There is a garden to the rear, where we had some outdoor games for guests, as well as plenty of greenery to the front, where we took our wedding photos. The staff I communicated with were very friendly, and on hand to help the evening before the wedding, when the key to the room with the tablecloths didn’t work. I highly recommend this venue - it’s rare to find a place with capacity for 200 guests at this price point.

We were luckily enough to have our wedding reception at The Lost Gardens of Heligan in August 2022. It was absolutely perfect! The team at Heligan were fantastic and we really couldn’t fault a thing.
