We found Ever After while researching elopement options in Devon and Cornwall and were umming and arring about whether to choose something by the coast or go for something with more of a woodland vibe. One of the things (aside from the stunning setting) that really swung it for us was the all-in package that Nicola and her team offer. The mid-week elopement package was really appealing to us – especially during Covid times – as everything is organised for you (with plenty of opportunities to personalise) and the suppliers at Ever After work like clockwork! This meant all we had to worry about was what we were going to wear and what delicious treats we wanted to eat!
After much admiring @weddevon on Instagram, flicking through tons of Clare’s Real Wedding images and reading a handful of blogs from other people who had got married at Lower Grenofen, we decided to go for it! Nicola had a last minute cancellation because of Covid and we snapped it up straight away ? Nicola was able to hold the booking for us for a week while we made our final decision and booked the registrar, and then everything from there on in was smooth sailing.
We interacted with Flora for the most part in the lead up to the wedding who was friendly, efficient and helpful throughout and the suppliers all ensured we had what we wanted booked in for the day. When we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the place: the buildings, ceremony venue, gardens, river, woodlands – oh my! Everything we could have hoped for and more!
Nicola and Clare – the photographer – were our witnesses, Baxter and Deborah our registrars, Ashleigh and Tyler on hair and make-up, and Sally looked after us on our actual wedding day; setting up our ceremony space and dining table, chilling our drinks, organising our music, stocking the fire and serving our delicious meal. She was an absolute superstar – both chatty and friendly when she was around but never feeling imposing. Our only sadness is that we were down by the river reading our vows to each other when she left for the day so we didn’t get to say Thank You and Goodbye!!
We only had around 8 weeks between booking and our wedding date, and we have to say, it was completely stress-free! We can’t recommend Ever After enough for those who want a relaxed, intimate, beautiful wedding, with all the trimmings of a big affair (but without the price tag or hassle!).
We have memories and photos that will last a lifetime and just want to thank Nicola, Ever After and everyone involved for making it such a special day!
