Offering the opportunity for its couples to enjoy full and exclusive use of the wedding barn and the six-acre field it sits in, it also boasts four glamping accommodation units, sleeping up to 10 for the whole weekend. You have the choice of two wedding packages or the chance to completely create your own bespoke version.

The owners are working with The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation, offering use of the venue free of charge to terminally ill brides and grooms and are keen to keep it local, so are looking to partner with the cream of West Country suppliers. There are plenty of exciting plans afoot for their first year in business, so keep your eyes on www.watersidecountrybarn.co.uk to stay up to date.

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

With peak wedding season approaching, experts are warning couples not to rely on AI to write one of the most personal parts of their big day – their vows. A survey by jewellers Queensmith has revealed that more than half (55%) of UK brides and grooms are now using AI tools to help write their wedding vows and speeches, raising questions about authenticity, originality and even potential legal grey areas.
