Over six years working across the South West, we've had the pleasure of working alongside some truly outstanding people. This is our little black book — the suppliers, venues and creatives we recommend wholeheartedly and return to again and again.
Eleanor is more than happy to make an introduction. Every person on this page is someone we'd recommend to our closest friends — and we'd love to help your day feel completely and beautifully like you.
"Every one of these venues has hosted something we were proud to cook in — and a team who made it a genuine pleasure."

Somerset
A breathtaking Palladian mansion set in Humphry Repton-designed grounds. The kitchen garden and open grounds make it a dream for outdoor cooking and live fire feasting. We've cooked here more times than we can count.

Dorset
One of England's finest manor houses, with extraordinary terraced gardens and a barn that lends itself beautifully to sharing-style feasts. Intimate, historic and completely stunning.

Devon
A Queen Anne manor house tucked into the South Hams countryside. Exceptional for formal sit-down dinners and marquee receptions — the grounds and interiors are equally beautiful.

Cornwall
One of the most magical outdoor settings in the South West. Private evening hire in the gardens creates something truly unforgettable — and perfectly suited to seasonal, garden-led menus.

Gloucestershire
A beautifully restored country house with its own on-site festival barn — perfect for couples who want something with real personality. We love cooking here for both formal dinners and relaxed feasts.
Somerset
For couples who want something off the beaten track — yurts, fire pits and open countryside. This is where live fire cooking feels completely at home. Magical for smaller, more intimate weddings.
"The ceremony sets the tone for everything that follows. These spaces do that beautifully."

Somerset
A gorgeous 15th-century church in the heart of a Somerset village — the kind of church that makes a wedding feel timeless. Surrounded by countryside, with a warmth you feel the moment you walk in.

Devon
For couples who want grandeur and history. One of the finest Gothic cathedrals in England, with a nave that takes your breath away. If you're dreaming of something truly magnificent, this is it.

Dorset
An extraordinary Abbey with over a thousand years of history, golden stone architecture and an atmosphere that is simply unmatched. A ceremony here stays with guests forever.
"Eloping doesn't mean missing out — it means doing it entirely on your own terms. These places make that very, very easy."

Dorset · Jurassic Coast
Arguably the most iconic coastal landmark in the South West. For couples who want drama, wildness and something genuinely unforgettable — there is nowhere quite like it at golden hour.

Somerset
Mystical, ancient and completely unique. The views from the top stretch across the Somerset Levels in every direction — a deeply special place for a deeply personal ceremony.

Devon
Raw, beautiful and completely elemental — Dartmoor is unlike anywhere else. Perfect for couples who love wild landscapes, open skies and want their wedding to feel like an adventure.
"Whether you're keeping it simple or combining a civil ceremony with a bigger celebration — these are the offices we'd point you towards."

Taunton, Somerset
Friendly, professional and well-organised — the Somerset team make the legal side of getting married feel easy and even enjoyable. They also approve a wide range of approved premises across the county.

Exeter, Devon
One of the most straightforward registration services in the South West, with a wide network of approved premises across Devon. Happy to advise on what's possible for your specific day.

Dorchester, Dorset
A responsive team covering ceremonies across Dorset, from intimate civil marriages to larger approved premises ceremonies. A great first call if you're planning something in this part of the South West.

"The right dinnerware elevates everything on the plate. A beautifully laid table tells your guests they're somewhere special before a single dish arrives."
South West England
Add your personal recommendation here — describe their hire collection, what sets their pieces apart and the kind of tablescape they help create. The best dinnerware suppliers understand that a table should feel considered, not just covered.

"The right drinks and the right music change everything — the energy in the room, the moment the dancing starts, the feeling that stays with guests long after the night ends."
Cocktail masterclasses & mobile bar hire
No celebration is complete without a proper cocktail moment — and Jon is, without question, the person we'd call. We've watched him walk into a room of strangers and have everyone laughing and shaking within minutes. He brings everything — the spirits, the equipment, the games, the energy — and does it all with genuine warmth and professionalism.
His mobile bar and cocktail masterclasses pair beautifully with canapés and welcome drinks on arrival, or an evening reception once the formalities are done. Whether your guests want to learn three perfect cocktails or simply be looked after at a beautifully run bar, Jon delivers every time.

Every supplier on this page is someone I'd recommend to a close friend without hesitation. If you'd like an introduction to anyone here — or if you're looking for something specific that isn't listed — please just ask. Part of what I love most about this job is connecting couples with the right people. Your wedding should feel entirely like you, and sometimes that starts with knowing who to call.
