Ceremony
We have a really lovely ceremony area with a gorgeous arch perfect for your own decoration. We don’t perform the legal bit here so it’s great to have one of your friends or family run the ceremony. It makes it so much more relaxed and fun. Or you may prefer the idea of hiring a celebrant to perform your ceremony. People normally have a small registry office ceremony just with family members a few days before, but then run the ceremony here as if it is the real thing. Exchanging rings and making vows with the beautiful back drop of woodlands and fields is truly amazing!
Ceremonies here are entirely flexible. Handfastings, spiritual blessings, vow exchanges, symbolic rituals, cultural traditions, or something entirely invented by the couple – whatever you like! The ceremony lawn is simple and natural, framed by wildflowers and long grass, allowing each couple’s chosen ritual to take centre stage. Nothing is imposed, nothing is restricted. The space adapts to the couple, not the other way around.
Mindful activities weave naturally into the rhythm of the day. Meditation sessions can be held outdoors or in a cosy indoor space filled with cushions and soft light. Yoga classes welcome all abilities, offering gentle movement to settle nerves and bring everyone into the present moment. Sound baths, with their deep, resonant tones, create a shared sense of peace, an unforgettable way to gather loved ones before the ceremony or to close the evening.
Beyond these, workshops of any kind can be arranged. Breathwork, craft sessions, drumming circles, journaling, herbalism, nature art, group coaching, dance, storytelling – whatever the couple imagines, the venue supports. This is a place where creativity and wellbeing are part of the celebration, not an add‑on.
As dusk settles, lanterns glow along the pathways and fire bowls crackle softly. Guests gather around the main fire pit for acoustic music, stargazing, storytelling, or group meditation. Without alcohol, the evening remains calm, joyful, and deeply authentic – full of real conversation, real connection, and real presence.
This is a wedding venue for couples who want nature as their witness, wellbeing as their foundation, and freedom as their guiding principle. A place where love is celebrated with clarity, intention, and the quiet magic of the countryside.
Catering
As far as catering is concerned you can do as much as you like yourselves, or get caterers in to run the whole thing for you. Our field kitchen is fully equipped with a large oven and warming oven, fridge, freezer, sinks and more. Or you may prefer to have a catering van. Or of course there is our large covered bbq which has been used to cater for 150 people.
For crockery (incl vintage), cutlery and glasses we use Stuart Marasco of A Nice Clean Plate. Again, he couldn’t be more helpful, his prices are extremely competitive and he is always smiling! Just let me know if you would like me to put you in touch with him. A setting for each person for the main meal plus dessert and a wine and water glass is approx. £2 per person. This is all then taken away dirty.
Insurance
Full public liability insurance will be included within your costs.
The Nitty Gritty
For our unique boho wedding venue in Devon and everything listed above we charge £10,500
We do ask that all outside music finishes by 1am, but you are welcome to continue your evening settled around the firepit listening to storytelling, or just gazing at the stars!
Just one important point to make for the peace of mind of our sheep is that we cannot have fireworks or chinese lanterns here.
Our Marquee
Our tent measuring, 9m x 18m, is cradled in a gorgeous spot between an oak tree and a weeping willow. It has a pleated ivory lining, a wooden floor, panoramic windows, and warm white festoon lighting with dimmers, uplighters and lantern lights. Also a 6m x 3m stage. You can choose whether you have a more traditional feel, or jazz it up into something completely different.
ENTERTAINMENT AND MUSIC
In addition to your music, you are welcome to bring face painters, story tellers, children’s craft areas, poi, drummers, workshops, yoga sessions, whatever you want.
