About River Cottage
Tucked amid rolling Devon hills, in Axminster, our farm is one of the most unique & popular wedding venues in the South West. Licensed for weddings, River Cottage HQ is a fantastic setting for your ceremony & wedding, close to the Jurassic Coastline.
Our 65 acre organic farm is tucked amongst rolling hills on the Dorset & Devon border.
River Cottage HQ is yours exclusively for the day. You can say ‘I do’ in front of your nearest and dearest in the famous farmhouse, amongst the sweet peas in the walled garden or in the beautifully restored Threshing barn if you intend to invite a crowd.
Guests are welcome to wander the smallholding at their leisure; relax in our yurt, serve welcome drinks out in the walled garden, and dance the night away in our beautiful barn!
The River Cottage kitchen team are renowned for cooking up wonderful celebratory dinners, featuring the very best local produce. No wedding menu is the same, with couples getting the opportunity to meet with one of our talented chefs to design their menu from scratch. After a sumptuous meal it will be time to dance the night away before retiring to our recently renovated farmhouse for a well earned rest overnight in our stunning master bedroom. Included in all wedding packages is bed and breakfast for up to six people across three stunning bedrooms.
Our traditional threshing barn has a maximum capacity of 70 guests. During the Summer months we are able to accommodate a further 30 guests on our decking under a canvas marquee which adjoins on to the Threshing Barn. For larger parties we can hire in marquees; a supplement will apply and is priced by requirement.
