How many guests can Greenacre Events accommodate?	Greenacre Events can host up to 150 guests for weddings. Retreats and other events are treated individually so please look at their page. We have a large parking area so no problem with accommodating a lot of cars. The camping area is large enough to accommodate as many as you like.
How long do we get exclusive use of the venue?	For weddings we offer five days of exclusive use from the Thursday, giving you time to arrive, decorate, celebrate and take it all in without any rush. This is far more generous than most venues, many of whom offer just one day. Retreats etc depend on the type of event.
When can our guests arrive for weddings?	Guests can arrive anytime on Friday to set up their tents and stay until the Monday. Many couples have a bbq on the Friday evening which gives the guests a great opportunity to get to know each other before the big day.
Is accommodation available on site?	We have a large camping field which will accommodate bell tents, campervans and loads of tents. There are numerous B&Bs in the area. The local pub also has rooms. There is also a Premier Inn in Honiton, only ten minutes away.
Can we have a firepit at weddings?	Yes we have a large firepit area in the centre of the venue, all you need to do is bring your wood. We generally make it a bit of a ceremony when we light the fire, gathering all the guests to watch the couple light it.
What time can music go on until at weddings?	Outside music in the marquee can go on until 1am. After that we move into the barn where the juice/mocktail bar is located and you can carry on in here.
Where exactly in Greenacre Events located?	You can find us in the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Beauty, just outside the beautiful thatched village of Broadhembury. We are only 15 mins from the M5 and 10 mins from Honiton and the A303.
Can we choose our own suppliers for weddings?	Absolutely! We believe that your wedding should reflect you completely. You are welcome to bring your own caterers, florists, bands and DJs. You can do as much of your own catering as you like as well.
Do you provide any catering at weddings?	No we do not provide catering. However, we do have a large field kitchen for your caterers to use free of charge. One of your guests might like to do a breakfast on the Saturday morning to get everyone up. We do however provide all of the food and drinks at our retreats and other events.
Can we bring alcohol?	This is an alcohol free venue. With no alcohol on site we can focus on clarity, connection, and calm.
Is there a marquee already on site?	Yes we have a large marquee complete with ivory lining, wooden flooring, a stage, and lighting. It has large panoramic windows all along the front and down half of both ends. These can be raised on a nice sunny day.
Is everything at the venue included in the wedding price?	Yes everything that is fixed at the venue is included. The marquee, the juice bar barn, the cabin kitchen, the large field kitchen, the double grilled undercover bbq, a tiled sunroom, loos and showers and of course the extensive grounds. The only things not included is catering and any sound equipment your band etc may need.
What is the price for hiring Greenacre Events for a wedding?	We have a set price of £10,500 with no hidden costs or surprises. We ask for a deposit of £500 when you book with us. However there are options for one day weddings which are priced individually, as are all retreats.
Are dogs welcome at the venue?	Well behaved dogs are welcomed at weddings but not other events. We do have sheep here on the farm so cannot have dogs off leads if they are likely to chase them. For your own peace of mind you might prefer to restrict dogs to family members.
Is Greenacre Events licensed for civil ceremonies?	No we are not. Generally couples get married quietly with their families a few days before, then hold a proper ceremony here just as if it were the legal bit. A family member or friend can run the ceremony or you might prefer a professional celebrant.
What are the nearest train stations?	There is Honiton, just ten minutes away, or Tiverton Parkway, fifteen minutes away. We can recommend local taxi companies for guests without cars. They will know exactly where we are and are happy to come out late at night.
Is there a village nearby?	Yes. Broadhembury is only a ten minute walk from us. Here you will find a church, a local shop and an excellent pub called The Drewe Arms. It is a beautiful old thatched village that has not changed for hundreds of years.
