River Cottage will soon make one lucky couple's dream come true with a complimentary wedding, set in their famous 100-acre organic farm on the border of Devon and Dorset.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall will personally handpick the winning couple's names out of a hat at the end of January 2023. The prize will provide the setting of River Cottage HQ as the venue for the couple to celebrate their special day.

The prize includes canapés, a three-course seasonal meal served with coffee and petit fours, plus accommodation in the famous River Cottage Farmhouse for six people on the night of the wedding. Surrounded by sensational Devon countryside and organic farmland, this dream wedding location offers exclusive use of its grounds for the day.

As seen on the River Cottage TV series, the spectacular backdrop features the renowned River Cottage Farmhouse Kitchen Garden, a beautifully restored 18th century Threshing Barn and grounds full of fruit trees, streams and meadows. With superb food and drink at the core of River Cottage, the kitchen team pride themselves on unforgettable celebratory feasts, using the very best local and seasonal produce. In the lead-up to the big day, their chefs will be on hand to help the lucky couple design a perfect, tailor-made menu.

From the outset, River Cottage's dedicated wedding coordinator will work closely with the lucky couple to-be, from bringing their conceptual ideas to life, right through to ensuring the big day runs smoothly - and most importantly, is stress-free and fun!

The competition is open to couples who book a wedding to take place between 1st September 2023 and 31st March 2024. Entry into the prize draw will be on receipt of a signed contractual booking and payment of a 25% non-refundable deposit, during the promotional period of 25th September 2022 to 31st January 2023 (inclusive).

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals.
