A SUMMER LOVE STORY IN THE COUNTRYSIDE 🌿

Hannah & Oli’s wedding at The Great Barn was filled with thoughtful details, homegrown flowers and the feeling of a whole weekend spent together with the people they love most.
Hydrangeas and cosmos – grown by Hannah’s dad on his allotment – ran through the styling in soft greens and pale yellows, while Hannah designed all the stationery herself, weaving watercolour florals and illustrations of the venue through every part of the day.

After a church ceremony in the village, guests wandered down to the barn for garden party drinks, acoustic music and sunshine on the lawn. Speeches, a feast inside the barn, golden hour champagne towers, a campervan photo booth and dancing long into the night followed – before the celebrations rolled into a laid-back pool party the next day.

Head to the blog to see more from Hannah & Oli’s beautiful Devon celebration.

Some breathtaking bird’s-eye views of our venue, taken by the talented @ivyhousephotography at a gorgeous wedding earlier this season.
 The aptly named Great Barn sits proudly at the heart of the venue, surrounded by sweeping lawns, our charming on-site accommodation just a stone’s throw away, our pool glistening in the corner, and the local church nestled in the distance, its spire just peeking through the trees.

A perfectly connected little world, made for unforgettable wedding days. If you’re planning a wedding and seeking a venue that offers privacy, luxury and exclusivity, then please do get in touch - we’d be delighted to show you round.

At the heart of our beautiful venue stands The Great Barn - a lovingly restored 15th-century barn that has witnessed countless vows, feasts and celebrations over the past 20 years.

While this summer’s sunshine has seen many of our lovely couples say “I do” in our gardens, the barn remains the most cherished choice year-round. Its soaring beams and timeless character create a truly magical setting for meaningful ceremonies, delicious feasts and wonderful celebrations as the day goes on!

If you would like to discover more about hosting your wedding at @thegreatbarndevon we would be delighted to welcome you for a private viewing. Please visit our website or get in touch to arrange an appointment.

One of the loveliest things about working with local suppliers is just how local ‘local’ can be!

Deer Leap Flowers is run by sisters Sophie and Cami from their flower farm, quite literally a stone’s throw from @thegreatbarndevon, where they grow beautiful, seasonal flowers and create arrangements full of colour, movement and character.

We just love that our couples can have flowers on their wedding day that were grown only a few fields away, on the very landscape that provides the backdrop to their celebration. taken in Higher Ashton by @thegreatbarndevon

A few kind words from a couple who recently married here at @thegreatbarndevon

If you’re looking for a wedding venue with space to make a wonderful weekend of it, we’d love to show you around. Book a private viewing at a time that suits. by @thegreatbarndevon

And then there’s Sunday.

After all the excitement of the wedding day, there’s something so lovely about waking up with nowhere in particular to be. Here at The Great Barn, the estate remains entirely yours for the whole of Sunday, so there’s no need to pack up and say goodbye quite yet.

Take your time over breakfast, whether that’s a leisurely self-catered affair in your cottage kitchen or a delicious brunch prepared by our team of in-house chefs in the West Barn. Or enjoy a ramble up the footpatch through our land and woodland to The Nobody Inn in our neighbouring village of Doddiscombsleigh, for a rather epic Sunday lunch. In the warmer months, there might be a swim in the outdoor pool, a barbecue in the garden or a few more hours spent together, sharing stories from the day before.

And when the time finally comes to leave, you can do so having had the chance to enjoy every last bit of it. by @thegreatbarndevon

One of the loveliest things about a 3-day wedding is that the celebrations begin long before you walk down the aisle.

From Friday, the whole estate is entirely yours. Alongside plenty of time for a relaxed rehearsal - with as many run-throughs and questions as you need until you feel completely at ease! - there’s ample opportunity to bring your decor dreams to life across our venue.

Whether the rest of the day is spent putting the finishing touches to the venue, catching up with friends over a glass of something lovely or simply enjoying the idyllic peace of the Teign Valley, Friday gives everyone time to arrive and settle in.

Come Friday evening, you can join us in the West Barn for supper, prepared and served by our lovely team, or make the most of the true home-from-home kitchens, gardens and barbecue and cook for yourselves. Some guests choose to book a table at The Manor Inn, our nearest pub - just 15 minutes’ walk away - and one that does excellent food. It really all is entirely up to you. by @thegreatbarndevon

Set within 120 acres of Devon countryside, @thegreatbarndevon has evolved over centuries, with beautifully renovated stone cottages, elegant walled gardens and quiet corners sitting alongside the places where life and celebrations unfold.

We love that the estate feels both grand and wonderfully intimate; a place with room for everyone to come together, yet plenty of little corners to call your own.

And sometimes, it’s only when you look at it from a different angle that you appreciate quite how much there is here.

We love these gorgeous aerial shots, captured by the talented @louiseeleanorphotography taken in Devon by @thegreatbarndevon

A year of weddings here at @thegreatbarndevon

From magnolia blossom in spring to beautifully scented roses and wisteria in summer, the russet colours of autumn and candlelit winter evenings, each of the seasons brings something different to the estate.

The landscape changes, the light changes, the gardens change - and somehow, so does the barn itself.

Here’s a little look back at weddings throughout the year. If you’re looking for a venue for your own wedding, we’d be delighted to welcome you for a private viewing.

So many beautiful weddings captured here, by so many of our favourite photographers! 🤍 taken in Higher Ashton by @thegreatbarndevon
