Take advantage of these great giveaways WEDDING BELLES Deer’s Leap Retreat is a stunning wedding venue nestled on the edge of Exmoor’s famous national park, surrounded by 15 acres of picturesque farmland providing a stunning backdrop of rolling fields and moorland perfect for big-day photographs. The stone barn, pictured, boasts exposed wooden beams with statement ceiling cartwheels that are draped in fairylights, designed to wow guests as they enter. It also features a wood-burning fire, perfect for winter weddings. Large doors open out on to the sun-drenched, south-facing patio overlooking the lake and gazebo that’s perfectly positioned for summer soirées. The patio provides a relaxed space for champagne and cocktails, and garden games are played on the large tennis court. The extended terrace outside the barn benefits from column heaters and firepits providing warmth during long summer evenings. At dusk, fairylights and festoon lighting lead guests down to the lanternlit lake for fireworks reflecting in the water that are fired to the couple’s choice of song. Romantic outdoor ceremonies can be enjoyed under the wooden lakeside gazebo perched on the side of the lake surrounded by rolling countryside. Up to 150 guests can be seated here under a stretch canopy. The rustic-inspired barn with original stone walls and hand-crafted wooden fixtures and fittings offers an indoor ceremony option for up to 150 guests and receptions also take place here seating up to 100, with the option to hire and add a marquee for extra guests.
