Little Quarme Cottages offers a stunning rural setting with exceptional views across the Quarme Valley. Unlike traditional venues, it encourages couples to design their own perfect wedding day without preset packages, fostering a relaxed, rustic atmosphere often complemented by a festival vibe. We are also trying to make weddings more affordable again, our day weddings start at only £300 and our two night weddings are well under £3,000, while our Wedding Weeks allows guests to have a nice holiday while reducing the cost of your ceremony.
Little Quarme Farm is just outside of Wheddon Cross, the highest village on Exmoor National Park, and less than 20 minutes from the coast. The vistas are simply stunning with no other homes in view, yet it is also just a 10 minute walk from a pub, shop, and petrol station along a quiet bridleway. Perched on a hillside, the wedding area looks down the Quarme Valley, surrounded by our fields that you can walk through.
We are only 45 minutes from the M5, and served well with towns like Minehead and Dulverton within easy reach. Exeter Airport is less than an hour away, Bristol Airport is around 90 minutes away, with both Birmingham Airport and Heathrow being about 3hrs away. Taunton and Tiverton railway stations are well connected and about 40 mins away for those wanting to come by rail.
Yes, Little Quarme features an outdoor wedding gazebo, a marquee lawn, and a terrace area perfect for ceremonies and post-ceremony celebrations, all boasting exceptional views across the valley.
Catering is typically informal and rustic, often featuring hog roasts, BBQs, or vintage picnics using fresh Somerset produce. Couples can tailor their catering choices to suit their wedding style and we provide a brochure of an eclectic range of caterers, chefs, and food trucks who have been here before - though you can chose whoever you like. Some guests bring their own food prepared by family members in advance - we've even had the occasional 'cake-off' by mothers of the couple!
Yes, when you hold a reception at Little Quarme, the on-site self-catering cottages are included in the price, providing accommodation for up to 22 guests and exclusive use of the site. In addition, we have space for some camper vans and camping, while we can also provide space for hired glamping options. We also provide a list of local accomodation - we can sleep over 80 additional guests within walking distance of Little Quarme.
Absolutely, ceremonies can be held independently of a reception, offering flexibility for couples who may prefer an intimate or shorter event. These start from only £300 and, if you wish, you can extend them into a garden party or BBQ. Equally, if you would like to go through the formal process in a religious building, Registry Office, or even Post Office, and then come here for your reception, you're most welcome. We quite often have unofficial ceremonies hosted by celebrants for couples who are renewing vows or recently got married abroad.
While the venue promotes a do-it-yourself approach, the team is on hand to offer help and advice during the planning process if you desire, ensuring your day comes together perfectly without added stress. On the day, we are on hand to help with tasks like managing the car park, and lighting the fire pits, and even playing the music for the ceremony.
Most weddings at Little Quarme embody relaxed, rustic affairs occasionally with a festival vibe. It's a casual and natural environment designed to reflect your unique wedding personality.
Yes, when you book Little Quarme for your wedding reception, you gain exclusive use of the entire site including grounds, gardens, and cottages, ensuring privacy and intimacy for your special day. With Day Weddings we may have guests staying in the cottages, but we inform everyone in advance so your wedding won't be disturbed. We never have more than one ceremony a day so things aren't rushed!
Prospective couples are warmly invited to schedule an informal chat and a tour of the grounds, gardens, and cottages to experience the venue firsthand and discuss wedding plans with the team.
