Coombe Trenchard

As soon as we saw Coombe Trenchard, we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. It's absolutely beautiful. The house is stunning and the grounds are breathtaking. It's Sarah and Philip's home and with that comes a warmth, care and intimacy which makes it more than just a wedding venue. Sarah's support from day 1 was invaluable. Sarah was always just an email or WhatsApp away, she helped us navigate the covid guidelines and ultimately ensured that we had a truly magical day. We were also lucky enough to use the new Peacock bar which is amazing. Sarah supplied wonderful bespoke cocktails which were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We honestly can't thank Sarah enough, Coombe Trenchard will forever have a place in our hearts and I'm grateful we got to start our journey as husband and wife at such a special place.

We couldn't fault our experience with Sarah and her team for our wedding. Incredibly flexible during the difficult COVID times, professional yet personal, and everything handled with understated class. The venue itself is stunning and practical regardless of the weather and all our guests thought the same. We really couldn't have asked for more, and would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for something that little bit special

the best possible wedding and to see our daughters face brimming with happiness all day was proff that we had achieved her dream wedding.

You made wedding planning and the actual day itself an absolute breeze....

The most beautiful picturesque and perfect place for a wedding. From beginning to end nothing was too much trouble. Every detail was thought of and every convenience made available even a steamer for a creased bridesmaids dress. It could not have been better and the day passed too quickly.

We got married at Coombe Trenchard in October 2019 and it was everything we ever dreamed of. The house and grounds are stunning and exactly what we wanted. Sarah was amazing from start to finish, she had loads of great advice and couldn’t have been more helpful. She also has a great list of suppliers choose from. We will definitely make sure to go back and visit on one of the open days.

Dearest Sarah and Philip From the bottom of our hearts the biggest, warmest thank you for opening your home to us and allowing us to marry in such a stunning setting. You both went above and beyond and made our day everything we dreamed of and more We will never forget your kindness and will treasure your home in our hearts forever We hope to be back and visit you both in the not too distant future. all our love Francesca & Benio

We had our wedding at Coombe Trenchard on 22nd July 2017. Sarah + Team / Wedding Planning: We made our booking around 18 months prior to the big day itself. Throughout that time we made many visits to Coombe Trenchard to hone and plan all aspects of the day. Sarah was incredibly welcoming and helpful in our planning; I personally felt so reassured to know that she was ultimately responsible for the day. She was so conscientious, reliable, thorough and passionate about making everything perfect for us. The reassurance this affords you as a couple is priceless. House and gardens: Both are breathtaking! Our guests particularly loved the croquet lawn and the seating area on the Italian Terrace, on which we toasted marshmallows over the fire pits! The Coach House is perfectly formed, combining an area for dancing with comfy sofas and a log fire. Bridal suite: The room has been beautifully decorated, with a large bathroom. It was an incredibly relaxing place to wake up as husband and wife! Afternoon tea: We opted for afternoon tea as our 'wedding breakfast' freshly prepared / homemade by Sarah and her team. My wife and I love afternoon tea, and have tried the offerings of many fine venues including the Dorchester, Woburn Abbey, and Boughton House. We both agree that the afternoon tea we had on our wedding tea was the best. Everything homemade, exquisite flavourings and many varieties of sandwiches and cakes, delicious scones with jam and clotted cream, and special shortbread biscuits hanging on ribbons for the bride and groom. But aside from the flavours, the display of everything was breathtaking. Tea served in a collection vintage cups and saucers, tiered plates at every table and many beautiful flowers cut freshly from the gardens in decoration. We are so grateful to Sarah, Emily, Philip and team for allowing us to have our wedding at Coombe Trenchard, and for all they did for us. Coombe Trenchard Weddings

Coombe Trenchard...there are no words that do it justice. Having been to two weddings here and for a couple of weekends away, both in summer and winter, I can think of no better venue for a wedding nor a better weekend away. Sarah and Philip make it the perfect get away and it is what they bring to the place that makes it truly special. It is more than just somewhere to stay, each visit is an individual experience and each visit is unique. That said, it is also incredibly beautiful, incredibly relaxing and has the wonders of both Devon and Cornwall nearby. Come any stressful or busy period in your life and you'll find yourself thinking 'I'd rather be at Coombe Trenchard' (and we had the mugs made especially to say this)!

A captivating and enchanting escape from the real world - stepping into the stunning house is like taking a step back in time, and a cream tea overlooking the gardens makes you feel you're in an episode of Downton Abbey. A warm welcome and a homely feel I've never experienced in a venue like this - somehow you feel grand but relaxed and at home all at once. Really can't recommend it highly enough.
