River Cottage HQ

The feel

River Cottage isn’t just an iconic venue in Devon; it’s also an award-winning destination for unforgettable weddings! Set on 65 acres of organic farmland near the stunning Jurassic Coast, River Cottage offers breath-taking backdrops for your special day.

Fully licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships, you can choose to exchange vows in Hugh’s famous farmhouse, the beautifully refurbished barn with views over the Axe Valley, or our charming walled garden. The Threshing Barn accommodates up to 100 seated guests for your ceremony and 60 for dining, transforming into a dance floor for 120 guests in the evening. After your celebration, retire to our lovely 17th-century farmhouse.

For larger weddings, our expansive grounds are perfect for marquees and glamping. We can organise shelter for outdoor ceremonies and facilities for DJs and live bands to keep the party going.

Our fantastic wedding packages include seasonal menus focused on exceptional food, crafted with the finest homegrown, local, organic, and seasonal ingredients from our award-winning cookery school. Wedding suppliers can access the venue on the morning of your wedding day for seamless setup. Check out our suppliers directory for extra special touches.

Your venue is where memories are made, and River Cottage is perfect for that. You can return for dining experiences, cookery classes, and visits to the café at any time after your special day. We look forward to welcoming back our couples for anniversaries and special occasions!
