HAVE IT ALL

Does spending a lot of hard-earned

money on one day’s celebration feel

too much?

Do you dream of eloping with your

fiancé somewhere luxurious that’s

exclusively yours?

Are you looking for something

more special than just the two of

you at the local Registry Office?

If so, then eloping Ever After

style could be just what you’re

looking for.

We’ve put together everything you could want for the perfect elopement wedding.

WHEN and WHERE?

Say your ‘I Do’s’ either in front of

the log fire under the glass roof

of our sunken terrace, or the

open sided wedding barn.

They’re both licensed by

Devon County Council for legal

weddings and ceremonies

A wedding ceremony at midday

on Tuesdays or Thursdays, from

October to April*

* We’re closed for weddings from

mid-December through to February

each year to give our lovely elopement

team a break.

with the people YOU LOVE

It can be just the two of you (we can

supply two witnesses) or you can invite

up to 8 guests for an additional charge

per guest.

SEASONAL CHANGES

Ever After is magical all year round, and we tailor our elopement weddings to the season you choose.

Autumn October to Early November

A wonderful time of year where summer is leaving but winter hasn’t

yet arrived. Picture orange leaves on the trees amongst the last of the

garden flowers, and miniature pumpkins as decor, paired with warming

tones of the flickering tea-lights.

Think yellows, oranges, deep reds, mixed with a touch of foliage...

And perhaps a feather bolero for when the temperature drops.

As the sun starts to set, enjoy your cheeseboard by the fire with

a basket of blankets in arms reach, and a glass of wine in hand.

Winter Mid-November to Late February

The magic starts to happen as Christmas draws closer. The leaves

have gone, creating a winter-wonderland of woodland scenes amongst

evergreen trees. Get married in front of the open fire under the glass roof.

We drape sheepskin rugs on ceremony seating and provide hot water bottles.

In December there’s always a Christmas tree (or two!) around to bring that

Christmassy feel. Make sure you and any guests wrap up warm. We provide

a roaring fire and heaters but bring your best winter coats to be on the safe

side so you can get some great wedding photos outdoors in the gardens

Why not enjoy a glass of mulled wine before the ceremony? And as the

night draws in, snuggle up together on the sofa in our cosy blankets in

front of the fire.

Early Spring March to April

With the promise of warmer weather approaching, spring bulbs

are blooming. The daffodils are out and the camellias and early tulips

are adding to the feel of spring on its way.

Early spring at Ever After is a beautiful time to elope. Fewer sheepskin

rugs and hot water bottles, more sunshine and flowers. And with warmer

temperatures, you might get married in the wedding barn and have

champagne and canapes in the garden before heading into the

terrace to eat.

STAY the NIGHT

Stay two nights in our luxurious 18th century

stone honeymoon cottage with its vaulted living

room, wood burner and sumptuous bathroom
