About Watermouth Cove Weddings

Watermouth Cove Weddings is a three generation, family run, charming coastal wedding venue located in Ilfracombe, along the North Devon coastline. Here, couples can choose from an array of breath-taking ceremony locations. The sweeping natural vistas on display here provide the perfect wedding celebration backdrop. With exclusive use of their Private Cove and Caves, your wedding can embody more than just 24 hours – celebrations over multiple days can create memories that last a lifetime. Facilities and Capacity Watermouth Cove Weddings offers a variety of beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that can host all kinds of nuptial occasions. Here, couples can choose from two stunning ceremony areas. One of our most loved locations is Viewpoint. With bench seating for 125 guests, it’s situated on the cliff edge. This ceremony area overlooks the North Devon Coastline, guaranteeing you breath-taking photographs to look back on in years to come. With a backdrop of Combe Martin, Hangman Hill and the secluded Broadsands Beach, the view showcases the beauty that North Devon has to offer. A 30 second walk from Viewpoint, yet nestled into woodland greenery, is The Woodland Barn. With seating for 125 guests, The Woodland Barn showcases a beautiful open plan vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers. Huge countryside barn doors, this is the perfect setting for your indoor ceremony. Outside The Woodland Barn is a rustic stone wishing well, not only a beautiful picture opportunity for your guests to enjoy, but is dedicated to the family members and friends that can’t be there to celebrate your special day. For your wedding breakfast - overlooking the Cove, The Beach House is the perfect setting for you, and up to 125 guests to enjoy your Wedding Breakfast. With real tree trunk pillars, rustic oak floorboards, vast hanging wicker lamp shades, and banquet style tables this venue creates the perfect ambience for your rustic coastal reception area. The Beach House transforms at night to the perfect location to dance your night away, staff will clear your tables away and create a dedicated space for a dance floor, with lots of room and electric points for a DJ/Band to set up if you wish to hire one and has an extended patio area overlooking The Cove with seating and umbrellas for guests to relax during the celebrations. Located next to The Beach House is The Snug, a dedicated area for your guests to escape to during your reception if they wish to get away from the dance floor and loud music. Quiet, calm, cosy, and filled with sofas and cuddle chairs, it’s the perfect area to catch up with old family and friends you haven’t seen in years. The Snug also lends itself effortlessly to becoming a focal meeting point upon arrival of your guests. Located within The Snug is a pay bar that opens the hour before your Ceremony, so there’s no need to worry about keeping your friends and family entertained, The Snug will do that all for you.
