Hidden a few yards along a farm track sprinkled with delicate country flowers is Blackwater farm; the home of Bridle & Groom Weddings. We can’t hide that we are a working farm, with wandering chickens, baying donkeys and a Shire horse, but hidden at it's heart is a magical wedding venue secluded behind trees and hedges with a quiet trickling fountain, licenced woodland lawn and many unusual and exciting design features around every corner; from the large marquee seating 150 to the rustic and romantic Garden Wedding Room. We have complete wedding packages on offer which include not only the food; either Cornish farm fayre or a Blackwater hog roast, but also your wedding cake, bouquet and venue flowers, china, cutlery and table ware, rustic props, your personal wedding planner, Eq-wine, horse box bar, honeymoon, glamping bell tent, campsite, golf cart transport and walkways for disabled visitors and everything else you need for an uncomplicated, relaxed day with your friends and family. We are here for the journey as much as the big day and want the decisions you make to be inspired by the creativity of the team, from your personalised cake to the scent of your confetti, we aim to please!

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Bridle & Groom Weddings Ltd?

Every wedding we host, must be the best wedding ever as the emotional investment in the day by the Bride and Groom is enormous. We focus on each wedding as a blank canvas and identify the key elements which make it a dream come true for the happy couple. Recent requests we have achieved are poldarkesque photos with the Shire horse, a Groom's ride on a seven tonne tractor, a gold leaf, brownie tower wedding cake...but one of my personal highlights was an unstaged walk down the aisle, behind the bride, by one of our chickens, closely followed by our farm cat!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Keep asking questions, don't be afraid to talk through every concern you may have with your venue and make sure the final plan for your event is given to you in writing to review and check. Communication is everything!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

The memorial tables for absent family and friends always brings a lump to my throat, couples have create beautiful photo displays using our barrels, wood logs and palettes and we raise a glass to them on the day.

Describe Bridle & Groom Weddings Ltd in 5 adjectives

Personal, rustic, unusual, relaxed and atmospheric.

Where’s the best photo spot at Bridle & Groom Weddings Ltd?

Photographers often tell us that they love visiting Blackwater due to the wide range of interesting and unusual photo opportunities. The marquee lit up at night is awesome and the hay bale, marshmallow roasting at night equally beautiful. Photos of weddings held on the woodland lawn or in the Garden Wedding Room are atmospheric and the Shire horse, donkeys, ducks, chickens and farm cat to name a few, seem to pose for photos and enjoy meeting the guests. The rare photos of our white doves taking off behind the bride is always a show stopper as are small bridesmaids in long dresses wandering through pastureland. The farmland at sunset creates wonderful opportunities for countryside, romantic shots as does the huge rainbows we have in this area of outstanding beauty.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Bridle & Groom Weddings Ltd?

Not yet, but we are are looking forward to the opportunity! Dick and Angel Strawbridge are our heroes/heroines and we think they should renew their vows with us!

What’s your favourite canapé?

Canapes! We serve Cornish farm fayre on this site, so if you want a hearty meal with scones, clotted cream, brownies, pasties and the best Blackwater sausage rolls you have every tasted, we are the site for you!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Sitting cosied up in blankets on the hay bale seating, cooking chocolate S'moores over the fire pit, in Long acre field.
