Latest news from The Great Barn – a breathtakingly beautiful Wedding Venue in Devon.
1920s Wedding Inspiration
Here at The Great Barn Devon, we are extremely privileged to be part of some absolutely beautiful, and incredibly inspirational, weddings. We love to see the wedding themes you have chosen, and whether they’re inspired by the seasons, a favourite film, a colour palette or an era, our brides and grooms never cease to amaze and impress us.
The Great Barn Weddings – Jennifer & John
Jennifer & John were married at St. John the Baptist Church in Higher Ashton and held their wedding celebrations at The Great Barn, in September last year. The happy couple were so pleased to share with us, just some of the memorable moments from their special day and how they met, just over two years ago…
Summer Vs Autumn Weddings – Last Few Dates Available For 2017
With a day to prepare, the big day itself and no rush afterwards, The Great Barn’s three-day exclusive hire is proving very popular for 2017. But fear not dear couples, the last few dates for 2017 are still available in some of the more popular months, namely June and September.
So, if you are still trying to decide between a summer and autumn wedding, here’s why we love these two very different times of year…
Our beautiful new building – West Barn
Finally, thanks to fab photographer Rosie Anderson, I have some lovely images of West Barn. We completed our second barn earlier this year to take the place of the marquee. It will act as a wet weather cover for drinks receptions, really useful for coffee and as we’ve put in some squishy sofas at one end, it’s also a perfect place for those who want to escape the music and just chill and chat.
All things white & beautiful
I was so pleased to see our tall white wooden candlesticks making their debut in the Barn at Will and Camille’s wedding on Saturday. Teamed with jam jars filled with simple white flowers, the overall effect was really stunning.
Church or Civil Devon Wedding?
Up on a hill, just a 3 minute walk from the Barn is the picture perfect St John the Baptist Church, and a number of our clients marry there. We also have a license for civil ceremonies in the Barn – so the choice is there. Often a difficult one!
