Festival DIY Wedding for Leilah and Nick

Interviews    25.02.2021

We cannot wait to have big summer weddings here again at Ash Barton, with lots of family and friends, and drinking and dancing. Just like Leilah and Nick’s wedding back in the summer of 2018 where the couple and their guests, from all round the world, enjoyed a full-on three-day festival celebration complete with glamping tents and all-night partying.

“The whole wedding was very DIY and everything was collected, decided, or made by us. We even made our wedding rings for each other,” says Leilah.
