Crowcombe Court :-
Crowcombe Court is licensed for civil marriage and commitment ceremonies (up to 80 seated), either in the great hall or the vaulted garden hall. We are quite flexible about where we place the marriage table and seating, depending on the size of your party and whether the bride would like to enter from the front door, the great stairs, or a discreet side entrance. Everything is very friendly and relaxed.
Your champagne reception also takes place in the great hall or, if the weather is fine, outside in the gardens where there is plenty of seating and beautiful views. This is also the time for photographs, and you will find plenty of lovely settings in and around the house for group and family shots, as well as more intimate and informal moments.

Wedding Trivia:
SOMETHING "OLD", "NEW", "BORROWED", AND "BLUE"
The tradition of carrying one or more items that are "old", "new", "borrowed" and "blue" also comes from English. There is an old English rhyme describing the practice which also mentions a sixpence in the brides shoe. Something old, signifying continuity, could be a piece of lace, jewelry, or a grandmother's handkerchief. Something new, signifying optimism in the future, could be an article of clothing or the wedding rings. Something borrowed, signifying future happiness, could be handkerchief from a happily married relative or friend. Something blue, signifying modesty, fidelity and love, comes from early Jewish history. In early Biblical times, blue not white symbolized purity. Both the bride and groom usually wore a band of blue material around the bottom of their wedding attire, hence the tradition of "something blue". Originally the sixpence was presented to the bride by her future husband as a token of his love. Today, very often, it is the bride's father who places a coin in the brides shoe prior to leaving home for the church.
