Coombe Trenchard

A perfect wedding at Coombe Trenchard My beautiful wife and I were recently married at Coombe Trenchard. The combination of Sarahs conscientious, thoughtful and heartfelt planning and the stunning location that is Coombe Trenchard made our special day utterly perfect from start to finish. We had a small Petite and Beautiful mid week wedding with only nine guests. We visited Coombe Trenchard twice in the run up to the wedding once to take a look around before confirming (we knew it was the one the moment we walked through the door!) and then with our parents to confirm details with Sarah. On this occasion Sarah made us all morning tea and delicious homemade cakes and biscuits, just one of those special touches that we were to experience throughout our time at Coombe Trenchard. Coombe Trenchard is by no means a typical corporate wedding venue and the experience you will have with your wedding here is hugely unique and personal. From the historic pictures, antiques and trinkets and book collections adorning the house (which I could I have spent another whole day perusing!) to the smouldering fires, Coombe Trenchard and the atmosphere that Sarah creates is a perfect paradox of feeling homely, cosy and personal but yet grand in scale. The rooms and locations at Coombe Trenchard offer so much versatility for a wedding. We got married in the light and beautiful morning room then had our drinks reception on the terrace (we were lucky with the weather!) and in the grand entrance hallway. We then moved to the panelled billiard room for our wedding breakfast before moving over to the perfect Coach House for our evening reception. As part of the Petite and Beautiful package and through Sarahs great organisation and recommendations we worked with some amazing contractors, the equally incredible Venetia Norrington as our photographer and Boo To A Goose for the cuisine (delicious savoury and sweet canaps during the drinks reception and an exquisite three course wedding breakfast). Sarah also keeps an extensive list of additional contractors from which we engaged the amazing Obligato String Quartet who provided an eclectic, extensive and handpicked repertoire for us during the ceremony and drinks reception. On the day itself I am going to use the word perfect again, nothing was too much trouble and Sarah calmly orchestrated proceedings which put my wife and I and our wedding party at absolute ease. A special thanks goes to Sarahs husband Phillip who manned the stunning Peacock Bar for the evening reception (all Devon or Cornwall sourced beers, ciders and spirits which was impressive). The accommodation which was able to sleep all of us was beautiful and the breakfast the next morning was once again absolutely delicious. Like a child waking up on Christmas Day with that sense of melancholy that it is all over we were so sad to be leaving Coombe Trenchard the day after our wedding, but it was made slightly better by Sarah presenting us with a lovely pottery heart with our names and date of our wedding inscribed on it. Once again another of those lovely personal touches we experienced throughout. So to Sarah and the beautiful Coombe Trenchard we thank you for the most perfect day of our lives, which we had a feeling was going to be the case when we first met you both!

A truly unique building, has such an amazing range of architecture all in fabulous repair and condition, gardens are set over a number of acres. Understand its available for weddings and functions. Has a small area for parking vehicles, unfortunately is difficult to get around for disabled people. Run by very pleasant and polite, helpful staff/owners.
