As Autumn unfolds here at Coombe Trenchard, and the Covid-19 pandemic remains very much at large, we’re reaching out to wedding couples already booked with us - and to new couples too, to help those who may feel they’ve lost their way when it comes to the plans for their wedding…

Now more than ever, we are here to share a positive, happy, hopeful conversation - and to offer a ray of wedding planning light, paired with calm and dedicated support.

We know the turmoil that surrounds the wedding industry is creating waves of worry and sorrow for everyone involved, casting a shadow over what should be the best time ever.

Having spoken to many engaged couples over the last 6 months, we’ve listened carefully to how some are beginning to feel stuck in the never ending cycle of postponement after postponement.

And yet one thing is becoming clear… love and life has to go on - and if restrictions dictate a small yet beautifully formed wedding, so be it.

So next week, we launch a new ‘Petite & Beautiful’ wedding opportunity at Coombe Trenchard, to help 2021 wedding couples rise out of the fog, and achieve a stunning small wedding day, sooner rather than later.

Furthermore, we’ll be pleased to offer couples the chance to book a celebration party with their wider circle of family & friends at a much later date too - if a full and fabulous celebration remains an absolute must.

Our newly designed wedding solution will we hope, carve out a positive way forward for us as a venue, and for couples feeling really stuck.

Below Sarah answers a few key questions for those considering a ‘Petite & Beautiful’ wedding at Coombe Trenchard, enabling couples to understand how this new weddings opportunity will operate as a breathe of fresh air, at this incredibly difficult time.

Q: How many guests are we allowed within our small wedding to qualify for the ‘Petite & Beautiful’ package?

A: The minimum number for the package can really be just the two of you as the couple. We’d be thrilled to act as your witnesses for the marriage ceremony, and it would be our pleasure to welcome and host you discreetly throughout your time here at Coombe Trenchard.

The maximum number of people we can include within the package is 30 guests, the total number of which, should include you as a couple, but not our immediate suppliers or staff.

Q: Is the ‘Petite & Beautiful’ package available to be booked on any date and at any time?

A: We’ve designed the package to provide a stunning solution for couples (and ourselves as a venue) finding their wedding plans for 2021 in crisis.

A ‘Petite & Beautiful’ wedding at Coombe Trenchard is an opportunity for relatively short lead wedding enquiries, or weddings that find themselves having to rethink all of their plans.

Either way, it’s a wedding booking solution no further ahead than 12 months at any one time to be safe and sensible during a time when so much remains unknown.

The package is a mid-week wedding solution in the main, with weekend enquiries potentially considered, subject to our availability and discretion.

Enquiries for a mid-week ‘Petite & Beautiful’ wedding booking in 2022 may also be considered, under exceptional circumstances, however I do ask couples to be aware that prices quoted as far ahead as 2022 could be subject to a nominal increase in line with inflation, and to ensure our overheads for the inclusive package are fully covered.

Q: What does a ‘Petite & Beautiful’ wedding opportunity at Coombe Trenchard include?

A: Our digital brochure holds a full and detailed explanation of every detail we will take care of and organise beautifully for you. We’ve worked hard to ensure everything you could possibly wish for has been included, leaving you as carefree as possible to simply drink in the day.

Whilst we cannot reasonably unpick elements from the package, do rest assured we would pleased to consider organising any additional elements, that may be important to you for a tailor made experience.

Q: How much does a Petit & Beautiful Wedding at Coombe Trenchard cost

A: The package pricing starts at £3000 inc VAT. Precise costs will be dictated by your chosen number of guests, and the dates in which you’d like to consider marrying.

Weekend dates will nearly always carry an additional fee due to increased demand for the limited number of wedding dates we offer as a private country house estate each year.

Each booking is subject to individual quotation.

Q: How can we talk to you, visit you, and find out more?

A: I can be available via video call for an initial conversation if time is of the essence. Furthermore, we also have a series of Coombe Trenchard IGTV videos and links we can share with you by way of a virtual tour if you happen to be based a distance from Devon.

And of course if you’d like to visit us in person, I would love to welcome you personally for a show round.

Whilst weddings like never before are being forced to happen right now, Coombe Trenchard can help you have a small but incredibly beautifully formed wedding to exceed expectation - putting your love and your happiness where it belongs, back on the agenda.

To arrange a discussion in person, or via video call, to receive our ‘Petite & Beautiful’ wedding brochure, or to ask me any further questions at all, please feel free to get in touch with me by emailing sarah@coombetrenchard.co.uk or by telephoning 01566 783179.
