The charm of a cottage micro wedding

Why My Tiny Exmoor Wedding is perfect for an intimate wedding

Intimate. Authentic. Unforgettable.

More and more couples are choosing to step away from traditional large-scale weddings in favour of cottage micro weddings—small, soulful celebrations that prioritise connection and meaning. At My Tiny Exmoor Wedding, we believe there’s something truly magical about saying “I do” in the heart of Exmoor, in the warmth of a handpicked cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Why cottage micro weddings are on the rise

Modern couples are redefining what weddings mean. Instead of managing hundreds of guests, strict timelines, and sky-high costs, many are opting for a simpler, more meaningful celebration. Here’s why:

· Intimacy matters – Micro weddings allow you to focus on what truly matters: your love, your vows, and the people closest to you.

· Lower stress, higher joy – With fewer moving parts, small weddings are easier to plan and often far more relaxed.

· Budget-friendly – You can create a stunning, personalised experience without breaking the bank.

· Eco-conscious – Smaller weddings leave a smaller footprint—a thoughtful choice for nature-loving couples.

· Timeless style – Cottage weddings blend rustic charm and elegance with timeless romance, making for beautiful photos and unforgettable memories.

Why choose My Tiny Exmoor Wedding?

Set on the edge of the peaceful, untamed beauty of Exmoor National Park, our cottages offer the ideal setting for your micro wedding. Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Exquisite locations

Our three luxury self-catering cottages are located in the prettiest and quietest part of Minehead, known as Higher Town. Most visitors to the seaside town never discover this quiet conservation area characterised by thatched cottages with high chimneys. It’s peaceful and a beautiful backdrop to your photos. Whether you're eloping or inviting a handful of your dearest guests, the setting feels like it was made just for you.

2. All-in-one experience

Our venue is more than just a place to stay—it’s your ceremony backdrop, your honeymoon suite, and your weekend getaway. We can connect you with trusted local celebrants, florists, photographers, and caterers, or simply give you the space to do things your way.

3. Tailored for you

Every couple is unique, and your wedding should reflect that. From decorating the cottages and garden spaces to exchanging vows indoors or out, we help you shape a wedding experience that feels truly yours.

4. Seasonal beauty all year round

Exmoor is a destination for all seasons—misty spring mornings, lush summer evenings, golden autumns, and snowy winter wonderlands. Whatever time of year you choose, it will be unforgettable.

5. Informal elegance

We embrace the joy of informal elegance. Whether you're hiking in your wedding boots or soaking in a hot tub under the stars, your day can be as relaxed or romantic as you want it to be.
