Ellie and Liam got married in the old chapel at Ash Barton in May and enjoyed four days of celebrations and gorgeous weather too. Can we just mention the Germanic log cutting ceremony, the eagle, and mum playing the bagpipes! Amazing. Congratulations to you both.

“We have just about recovered from our wedding weekend and have so many thank yous and shout outs for all the suppliers that made it unforgettable! Ash Barton truly is such a breathtaking venue and our guests couldn't believe how beautiful it was.

“And thanks so much to Henry and Tom for being phenomenally helpful all weekend. Nothing was too much trouble and they were so patient with all our requests. Also to Simon for a lovely recovery night's stay in the Arches Beach Weddings bridal suite.”
