A unique coastal wedding location, The Venue is perched on a cliff top overlooking Exmoor and the magnificent Atlantic coast, making it a perfect wedding spot for both amazing photos and memories.

With easy access to several beaches, including Combe Martin, Broadsands, Watermouth Cove and Hele Bay, our venue offers many couples the opportunity to explore other dramatic seascapes with their chosen photographer.

State of the art lighting is ensured by a color wheel which allows you to customize the lighting to fit your colour scheme while a lutron panel creates the perfect mood for you and your guests. Fibre optic lights embedded in the ceiling create the illusion of dancing under a star-filled sky.

High quality audio is provided by the fully integrated sound system. Air-conditioning guarantees the comfort of all guests present.

Nature and architecture blend into a seamless panorama as the bi-fold doors running across the front of the venue provide a stunning view of the ocean, while the deck that runs along the building proves perfect for your guests to soak up the prospect.

Fully licensed for wedding ceremonies, the venue can offer spaces inside as well as in the scenic cliff top gazebo with our Sky Walk platform. Imagine your guests facing towards the sea, watching as you take your vows in this magnificent scenery.

Let The Venue at Sandy Cove team make your special day magical as you enjoy nature’s beauty and our bespoke food and drinks.
