BRIDLE & GROOM WEDDINGS LTD – LOVE NATURALLY! LISKEARD This new rustic-inspired wedding venue is situated on a nine-acre working farm with chickens and donkeys that can appear in photographs with the happy couple or greet guests around the firepit! Blackwater Farm is the home of Bridle & Groom Weddings, open between March 15th and October 31st each year. It’s accessed via the Well field which is the venue’s glamping site where couples can spend their first night together and their guests can also stay over with the opportunity to share a blackwater breakfast the following morning. Ceremonies take place in the Garden Wedding Room for up to 60 guests (including the registrar and the couple). For those wanting a church wedding close by, the Garden Wedding Room can be transformed into a comfortable retreat where guests can relax and mingle with self-service tea, coffee and sweet treats available during the evening. A short walk along a farm track leads to the large open-air, all-weather marquee which seats up to 150 loved ones for the wedding breakfast and reception. Hidden at the heart of this magical venue, secluded behind trees and hedges, is a fountain, woodland lawn, an Eq-wine horsebox bar and a prosecco wall. The booking office adjacent to the lawn can be used as a sweetshop or ice-cream bar during the reception. Ceremony licence?
