SOUTH SOMERSET Spotlight on... Tie the knot in a local hotspot THE OLD MILKING PARLOUR AT CAVOKAY HOUSE 07759 504 110 | www.oldmilkingparlour.co.uk The Old Milking Parlour lies in an idyllic rural setting in the grounds of Cavokay House, near the village of Henstridge, Somerset, which also puts it within easy reach of Dorset and Wiltshire. The venue is, as the name implies, an old farm milking parlour. Parts of the building date back to around 1730 and cow chains still hang from the stone walls helping it to retain its old world, rustic charm. The team also have a large and ever-growing selection of styling props available to their couples at no extra cost. But that’s not all as they also offer planning support, venue visits for planning purposes and onthe-day coordination. Twelve acres of private grounds make up the venue’s surroundings. The land features lawns, paddocks, a stream and five acres of private woods containing a mysterious door for photographs. WHERE TO WED The interior is carpeted and cosy with a friendly, mellow atmosphere, while the whole wedding room is festooned with fairylights, elegant chandeliers and gorgeous drapes. All of this makes for a romantic ambience as well as providing a relaxing place to sit and chat when you’re not dancing. The Wedding Room can seat 100 loved ones for the “I dos.” Alternatively, you may wish to exchange vows on the lawn or in the romantic woodland glade in the private woods. A SPACE TO CELEBRATE The Wedding Room can seat 100 guests, and tables chairs and tablecloths are included. For your peace of mind when it comes to the bar and catering, the venue has a list of approved suppliers who’ve been chosen for their professionalism, skill, honesty and value for money. Plus, there are excellent kitchen and bar facilities available for these suppliers to use. For the evening revelries you can invite an additional 20 guests, and you’ll be glad to find everything you need including the permanent dancefloor and stage with their own digitally-controlled professional lighting system, which creates a memorable atmosphere for the celebrations.
