Lower Marsh Farm

Tucked away in the Tamar Valley on the Cornwall–Devon border, Lower Marsh Farm is a wonderfully relaxed and romantic wedding venue surrounded by over 40 acres of countryside, woodland, orchard and nature reserve. From intimate elopements for two to celebrations for up to 120, couples can create a wedding that feels completely their own, with ceremonies and celebrations unfolding beside the river, poolside, in the courtyards, orchard or woodland.

Lower Marsh Farm — Nature-Led Wedding Venue in Cornwall

Hidden away on the banks of the River Tamar, Lower Marsh Farm is a beautifully relaxed wedding venue for couples looking for something a little different.

Surrounded by more than 40 acres of countryside, woodland, orchard and rewilded nature reserve, the farm offers a collection of wonderfully individual spaces rather than a traditional one-room wedding venue. Exchange your vows beside the river, poolside, in the atmospheric cobbled courtyard or intimate Well House, before moving through the farm for drinks, dining and dancing.

For couples dreaming of a church ceremony, beautiful Landulph Church is just 200 metres away at the end of the drive – close enough to walk, or even arrive and depart by horse-drawn carriage.

Weddings here are intentionally flexible. From an elopement for just two to an intimate courtyard celebration or a larger marquee wedding, there is no prescribed formula. Couples can choose their own suppliers and shape the day around the things that matter to them.

Only a limited number of weddings are hosted each year, allowing each celebration to be personal, unhurried and completely individual.

Why couples choose Lower Marsh Farm

A wedding surrounded by nature

The River Tamar, woodland, orchard, gardens and nature reserve create an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons. From waterside photographs to quiet woodland moments, nature is woven naturally into a wedding at Lower Marsh Farm.

Make the farm your own

There is no set route through a Lower Marsh Farm wedding. Say your vows in one setting, enjoy drinks somewhere else and move on again for dinner and dancing. The courtyards, pool garden, orchard, woodland and riverside can all become part of the celebration.

Intimate elopements

For couples who would rather skip the guest list altogether, Lower Marsh Farm offers relaxed three-night elopement packages for two. Stay on the farm, choose somewhere beautiful to exchange your vows and turn your wedding into a peaceful few days away together.

Sustainable by nature

Sustainability isn't an add-on at Lower Marsh Farm. The farm is managed with nature at its heart, with rewilded areas, regenerative growing and renewable energy. Couples can also choose local suppliers, seasonal flowers and sustainable confetti made from petals gathered at the farm.

Stay a little longer

With accommodation across the farm, the celebration doesn't have to begin and end on the wedding day. Closest friends and family can stay on site, turning the occasion into a relaxed wedding weekend.

Ceremony & Reception Spaces

The Cobbled Courtyard – An atmospheric setting for outdoor ceremonies, drinks receptions and dining, with the adjoining courtyard offering additional flexibility.

The Well House – A wonderfully intimate and characterful little 'chapel', particularly suited to elopements and smaller ceremonies.

Poolside – Exchange your vows or enjoy post-ceremony drinks in the walled garden beside the pool.

Riverside – A peaceful natural setting beside the River Tamar for couples who want the landscape at the heart of their day.

The Orchard – A beautiful option for larger wedding breakfasts and marquee celebrations surrounded by the Cornish countryside.

Woodland & Gardens – Quiet corners throughout the farm provide romantic ceremony possibilities and beautiful locations for photographs.

Landulph Church – Just 200 metres from the farm at the end of the drive, this lovely country church provides another option before returning to the farm for the celebrations.

Elopement & Intimate Weddings in Cornwall

For couples dreaming of something small and wonderfully personal, Lower Marsh Farm offers elopement weddings for just the two of you.

Three-night packages combine your accommodation and ceremony with thoughtful details such as flowers, breakfast hampers and wedding coordination. Witnesses can even be arranged, making it possible to disappear to Cornwall and get married with nobody else on the guest list.

Photography, cake, private dining, additional flowers, treatments and a dog chaperone can also be arranged, allowing couples to keep things beautifully simple or add as many special touches as they wish.

Sustainable Weddings at Lower Marsh Farm

For couples who want their wedding to tread a little more lightly on the planet, sustainability is already part of everyday life at Lower Marsh Farm.

The farm sits within more than 40 acres of countryside, woodland, orchard and nature reserve, with land managed to encourage wildlife and biodiversity. Renewable energy, regenerative growing, local suppliers and home-grown flower-petal confetti can all become part of the wedding.

With the ceremony, celebration and accommodation all in one place, guests can also settle in and enjoy the farm without travelling between different venues throughout the day.

Winter & Festive Weddings

Lower Marsh Farm is particularly magical in the quieter months.

Think roaring fires, candlelight, winter greenery and twinkling fairy lights, with cosy spaces for celebrating before retreating to your accommodation at the end of the evening.

From intimate winter elopements to wonderfully atmospheric festive celebrations, the farm offers a very different side of Cornwall outside the traditional summer wedding season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. There are several beautiful outdoor possibilities around the farm, including the courtyard, poolside, riverside and other locations surrounded by nature. Your wet-weather option can be planned with you depending on the ceremony location and size of your wedding.

Can we get married at a church nearby?

Yes. Landulph Church is just 200 metres away at the end of the drive. It's an easy walk from the farm – although arriving or leaving by horse-drawn carriage is considerably more fun!

Can we choose our own wedding suppliers?

Yes. We have a collection of wonderful local suppliers we can recommend, but couples have plenty of freedom to choose the people they would like to work with. For some larger infrastructure suppliers, such as marquee and tipi companies, we may need to approve arrangements in advance.

Do you offer sustainable weddings?

Sustainability is at the heart of the farm rather than a separate wedding package. From the way the land is managed and renewable energy generated on site to local suppliers, regenerative growing and our own dried flower-petal confetti, we can help couples make environmentally conscious choices throughout their celebration.

Can guests stay at Lower Marsh Farm?

Yes. Around 20 guests can stay across our cottages, barns and wooden yurt cabins, allowing your closest friends and family to make a weekend of the celebration. We can also recommend additional accommodation nearby.
