Bradstone Manor, Cornwall
Bradstone Manor Wedding Guide – Music, Atmosphere and Style
The Setting and Location
Bradstone Manor (Bradstone Manor Farm) is a beautiful countryside wedding venue near Tavistock, sitting in the Tamar Valley with a lovely mix of rustic spaces and relaxed outdoor areas. If you want to see the layout, galleries and package options, here’s the venue’s site: bradstoneweddings.co.uk.
One of the standout spots is the front garden of the manor, which makes a gorgeous ceremony backdrop and gives the day that calm, “we’re properly away from it all” feeling from the very start.
The Style and Overall Vibe
Bradstone has a warm, rustic barn vibe that suits couples who want a celebration that feels relaxed and personal. The barn works beautifully for laid-back eating, speeches and then a big evening party without needing a complete change of scene.
Outdoor space is a big part of what makes Bradstone special. There’s plenty of room for a bar and outdoor food, and the courtyard is ideal for live music during the drinks reception – it creates that easy, sociable atmosphere where guests naturally mingle and the day starts to build its own momentum.
What I Love About Working Here
I’m a preferred Wedding Host & DJ at Bradstone Manor, and it’s a venue where hosting really earns its keep. Because the setup can be fairly DIY, couples often have lots of lovely ideas and moving parts – different areas in use, relaxed timings, outdoor moments, live music, food vans – and it all benefits from someone calmly guiding the flow.
Romilly and Mark are wonderfully laid back, friendly and practical, which sets the tone for the whole place. With that relaxed feel behind the scenes, having a professional host helps everything stay organised without the day ever feeling bossy or over-managed.

Why It Helps to Have a DJ Who Knows This Venue
With venues that offer lots of flexibility, experience matters. Knowing how the spaces work, how to pace the key moments, and how to gently guide guests between areas makes everything feel easier.
Because I’m at Bradstone as a preferred supplier, I can help you plan natural transitions, keep announcements relaxed and friendly, support any live music in the courtyard, and build the atmosphere from the ceremony in the garden all the way through to a packed party in the barn.
