Many congratulations to Natalie and Dominic, who recently got married at our sister venue Arches Beach Weddings in Combe Martin, before continuing the celebrations at Ash Barton. The couple stayed in the bridal suite at Arches the night before their wedding, before being legally married in front of the ocean and a handful of people the next day. The same afternoon they headed over to Ash Barton for four days of partying and celebrations with friends and family, including an evening of fireworks, and another fabulous wedding ceremony under the old oak tree conducted by a celebrant.  

“Wow. I have nearly recovered both mentally and physically from an incredible weekend at Ash Barton. Anyone looking at Ash Barton as a potential venue, or for those that have already booked, it is honestly such a wonderful venue and we had such an incredible weekend.”

“We stayed at Arches Beach Wedding at Wednesday evening and used the premises for our legal ceremony on Thursday which was a great venue. It’s a short drive from Ash Barton in Combe Martin, and Simon and Nina were so accommodating. It’s a great venue if you’re looking for some great costal views during the ceremony!" 

Hair and Make-up: Carly Hanson and Katharine Shaw

“The pair worked amazingly well to create beautiful looks from the initial trial through to the big day!”

Dresses: Bride by Design

Bridesmaid Dress: Rewritten

Catering: Field to Fork

“Field to fork catering served incredible food from start to finish. They did so well catering to allergens and the service was seamless. One of the key things for a wedding is to get the food right and from the feedback of the guests, everyone loved all of the food!!”

Friday food: Pig and Olive

“Mobile pizza van for evening food on Friday. As it’s served by the slice everyone got to try everything and they were amazing. Again, very good catering for allergens like gluten free and vegan and nothing but great feedback from everyone.”

Styling: Best Day Ever

“Katie and her team were so valuable over the weekend and helped with the styling of the barn, ceremony and running of the weekend. Katie was absolutely everywhere on Saturday and couldn’t have done it without her and the team!”

Celebrant: Bex the Celebrant

“Bex is absolutely incredible and such a bubbly person. We are so glad we were able to share our personal story and Bex portrayed it so effortlessly that people thought we had known each other for years!”

Music:  Sam Dowden Music

“Sam played during our ceremony and canapés and has such a lovely tone and created the perfect ambience. Sam is so friendly and the music went down so well with everyone.”

Glamping tents: Devon Belles Tents

“Emma at Devon Belles and the team that came to set up were so friendly and were able to accommodate 20 tents including a large main tent in the middle for a social glamping area.”

Generator Hire:  Ellis Electrical

“Ellis Electrical organised the hook up to the tents and Andy and the team were really helpful with what we needed to do, and spelt it out for us not being electrical savvy!”

Fireworks:  Vulcan Fireworks  

"What an amazing display. Chris and the team at Vulcan were super accommodating and arranged such a great surprise for all of our guests and thanks for discreetly setting up to keep it as incognito as possible. Anyone looking at fireworks, these are your guys."

Photography: Grace Elizabeth Photography

“The photos have completely exceeded our expectations and Grace is truly a professional with what she does and the ease she puts you in. If anyone is still looking for a photographer we couldn’t recommend Grace enough.

"Thank you to the wonderful people at Ash Barton. Simon has always been so responsive with questions and queries and has made the whole experience much easier to organise. Henry and Steve on site through the weekend were always on hand if we needed anything and made sure things ran smoothly."
