“We had a fantastic elopement wedding at Ever After. Thank you so much Nicola for making our outdoor ceremony possible!

One of our best moments was being able to get married under the oak tree, a spot that was the best solution on the day due to unpredictable weather and an unforeseen situation with nature. It was a first for Ever After and we were absolutely thrilled with how it all turned out.

The venue itself along with the honeymoon suite, the gardens and the surrounding woodlands are stunning, just what we wanted!

The whole team are fantastic, so if you want a stress-free wedding this is the place for you because you are in very good hands indeed. We would 100% recommend!“

“We were looking for an intimate wedding that would allow us to bring our dog, and we are so glad google showed us ever after.

In just a few short months we could get married and everything was taken care of. From the photographer, florist, catering, cake all the way to makeup and hair, was super straight forward either via Nicola or simple email exchanges. And Nicola sorted everything on the day so everything went smoothly and looked incredible – she was a true pro.

I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to feel like a proper bride and groom but without the price tag or the stress of having 100+ guests!! We had 8 guests and importantly our dog and everything was just perfect. If you are considering it, you absolutely will not be disappointed!!“

“We found Ever After on Insta. We thought it look beautiful online but the images do not do it justice. It was so much more than we could have ever imagined. The whole wedding was perfect. I had zero stress and everyone involved from Nicola and the team at the venue to the make up and hair artists were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. It was very calm and relaxing and felt like we were all great friends getting ready in the morning.

Having the stunning woodland and river makes the most beautiful photos, but it was also a lovely experience to walk together as a newly wed couple and reflect on the ceremony. The photographer and videographers were not invasive and just amazing, interesting, kind people.

We feel incredibly lucky to have been able to have the most perfect wedding day and we still can’t believe how easy everything was.“

“This was the most amazing venue and totally everything and more we could ask for !

Nicola was outstanding in her support and guidance for our day. The most stressless day we have both had.

We were allowed to bring our pup there so she could be part of our special day ! Everything was perfect I could write a list but I would be here all day. Nicola takes pride in her home and the gardens making sure that it is the most beautiful venue

Her decorative skills are on another level xx thank you so so much“

“My wife and I got married at Ever After and we couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. Every little detail was thought of which made it very easy for us leading up to and on the day.

We can’t thank Nicola and her team enough for the amazing day that they created for us. Everything was perfect thank you again 🙂

“A perfect special day on the smallest possible scale.

Ever After was the only place that we could imagine ourselves getting married, it was all that we could have ever wished for… and more!

Lydia was fantastic and catered to our every need and request, taking all of the stress away from us – allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the moment from start to finish. All of the vendors supporting Ever After are of the highest quality and we could not fault a thing.

If anyone is on the fence about having an elopement wedding, don’t be! We would whole-heartedly recommend the experience and Ever After!“

Thanks so much for everything for today, everything was wonderful, right down to the thunder!

Please please do let everyone know how absolutely wonderful everything was, food was stunning, flowers were gorgeous, so so much more perfect than I could have imagined, the cake was so beautiful and absolutely delicious, everyone’s hair and make up and everything looked stunning, the decor was beautiful, absolutely adored the floral runner (totally going to try and find the same one)

You really did think of everything, plus some.  Thank you so very much!

“I cannot recommend Ever After highly enough. I knew that I wanted to get married here before my partner (now husband!) had even proposed. We both have large families and I always knew that the large wedding was never going to be for me.

Knowing that I wanted to get married in Devon, I googled “elopement package Devon”. After looking at a few (which simply didn’t fit the bill) I came across Ever After; I’m so glad that I did! The online brochure cemented my decision that Ever After was for us; we were looking at travelling about 4 hours to the venue and the full package that Ever After provides meant that we were not going to have to travel the country meeting with suppliers.

In the months leading up to the wedding, contact was made with the caterers (to discuss the menu choices), the florist (to send pictures of the sort of bouquets I loved) and the cake maker (again to send pictures of what we loved and flavours that we would like) and Nicola to discuss the décor style we would like! Honestly it was as easy and simple as that.

The Honeymoon Cottage was fabulous and I have real bathroom envy! We fell asleep to the sound of the river in a bed which was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in! The kitchen was stocked with all things needed to see us through including the makings of a scrummy breakfast on the morning of our nuptials; which I was unable to eat owing to wedding day nerves. The dressing area was perfect for me to get ready in, with both a makeup artist and hairstylist as well, and I was able to send Hubby to The Annexe so that I could get ready alone.

The same nerves that made breakfast difficult to swallow also made me sure our wedding cake was orange and my flowers were blue – I need not have worried! Everything was just as I had pictured it in my head, only better! In fact, when family and friends have seen the photographs they have all said the same thing “Emma it’s all just so you”.

We’ve been unable to pinpoint one moment of our wedding day that was our favourite; from the beginning to the end it was perfect! So perfect that we both agree that we wouldn’t have done anything differently and in fact would be more than happy to do it over and over again at this same venue!

If you are wondering whether or not to book, our advice would be “book it, why are you delaying? It was the best decision we ever made!” We did it alone, just the two of us and we would not have it any other way – I can’t imagine having chosen somewhere else.

Ever After was the princess day that I wanted without the guests; the venue is picturesque, the suppliers were brilliant and got it without having met us, and Nicola welcomes you as though you are old friends.

“We had our wedding ceremony at Ever After in December 2023.

We found them online a few years beforehand and it left such a lasting memory that it was the first place we thought of when we decided to cancel our wedding and elope.

I’m so glad we did as the entire experience was stress free, beautiful and exactly what we wanted.

A stunning venue, food, programme, flowers, cake and the friendlies photographer put us at such ease!

Nicola and everyone involved was exceptional and we would recommend them 100 times over!“

“We had a fabulous wedding day at Ever After.

We always knew we wanted a tiny wedding, but we still wanted something that felt special and celebratory and feared that a registry office wouldn’t deliver that for us.  Fortunately we found the perfect package in Ever After and now have memories of a special day we will treasure forever.

The whole experience was about as low-stress as it’s possible for a wedding to be – Ever After put us in touch with all the suppliers, every one of which was excellent, and managed a lot of the organisation for us. That left us free to enjoy the day and to spend some real quality time with our guests, which we simply would not have had with a “full size” wedding.

The setting is absolutely beautiful and the team went to great lengths to make everything perfect, sorting tiny details before they had even occurred to us. If we had our day again, we would do it all the same – which is to say we would definitely recommend it.“

“We came across Ever After while searching for venues that did elopement weddings and immediately knew it was the place we wanted to get married.

Nicola made all the planning for our day completely stress free. All the suppliers that were included were also amazing!

Everything about our day was perfect and you couldn’t ask for a more beautiful venue.

Thank you so much Nicola and the Ever After Team.“

“I discovered Lower Grenofen through Google, and what immediately caught my eye online was the elopement package they offered. The fact that everything, including witnesses, was included, made it a stress-free choice for us, especially in an unfamiliar location. The stunning location and picturesque setting only added to the appeal.

Booking with Lower Grenofen was an easy decision due to the exceptional support from Nicola. She quickly addressed my initial inquiry and provided all the necessary information, making us feel confident in our decision to book.

In the months leading up to our wedding, Nicola’s assistance was invaluable, given our short timeframe. She truly took all the stress out of wedding planning.

As for our wedding day, it’s hard to pick a single favorite moment because the entire day was perfect from start to finish. It exceeded our expectations in every way.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose Lower Grenofen for our elopement. Working with Nicola to plan the day was an enjoyable experience. One of the highlights for us was that they allow dogs, which was a big bonus! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and the suppliers that Nicola works with and recommends are amazing. From the venue to the photography, food, cake, and the recommended hair and makeup artists, every aspect of our day was truly special. Thank you for making our special day stress-free and unforgettable!❤️“

“We had our wedding here in October and it was everything we wanted, a truly magical day! We wanted an intimate venue to celebrate our day with only our close friends and family and this venue was perfect. We didn’t even see any other venues, as soon as we visited here we knew this was the place.

The whole experience was perfect, Nicola was fantastic every step of the way. Everyone always talks about how stressful it is planning a wedding, but my experience was the opposite, everything was seamless.

Every element of our wedding day went smoothly, Nicola coordinated everything so well and dealt with all the set up in the morning so we could just focus on getting ready and enjoying the day.

If you are having guests I would recommend the extra accommodation that is available, my sister loved staying in the shepherds hut right by the river.

This venue is beautiful, I can’t recommend Ever After enough.

Thank you, Nicola and team, so much for all the work you put in, you’re doing an incredible job and we had an unforgettable day.

“We recently had our dream wedding at Ever After.

From the moment we got in touch with Nicola she was extremely helpful and efficient at helping us plan our dream wedding. The beautiful thing about Ever After (aside from the stunning venue) is that almost everything is organised for you as advertised, taking the stress out of wedding planning for you. Nicola and the team really do deliver on this promise and make the whole thing a relaxing and zero stress experience.

We had such a magical day and it was everything we hoped for. Nicola made sure everything ran smoothly and created a very beautiful setting for us. The place was decorated beautifully and the food, flowers and photography were really 1st class. Everything was taken care of so we could relax and enjoy the day with our guests. I just wish I could have slowed down time as it all went so fast! But luckily we have the gorgeous photos from Clare to remember it by.

Lower Grenofen is a very magical spot and we hope we can come back in the future for an anniversary stay.

Thank you Nicola and team for making our day everything we hoped for and more.

“While looking for a venue for our wedding, we found Ever After on Google. We were looking for a venue that caters to small weddings, makes things as simple as possible and is beautiful. The gorgeous scenery and the assistance they offer really caught our eye. We decided it was perfect for our needs, and we weren’t disappointed to say the least! The venue was absolutely stunning, the staff were really helpful and the food was delicious. The day was perfect and went off without a hitch (other than us getting hitched!).

Our favourite moment of the day was the ceremony, which was just what we dreamt of. The flat we stayed in there was amazing and we lucky enough that the sun was shining all day. We can’t recommend Ever After highly enough!”

(via google reviews)

“We were drawn to the Ever After experience as we loved the idea of a small, intimate wedding with just our nearest and dearest present. The relationship the Ever After team have established with local suppliers was also a great advantage for us and saved us having to source various services ourselves. It meant we could relax and enjoy the whole experience. Our wedding was magical, it exceeded all expectations.

The setting is breathtakingly beautiful and the care and attention taken to ensure our day ran smoothly was absolutely fantastic. Every moment of the day was wonderful and will be treasured, but the ceremony in the wedding barn was particularly special for us and again the attention to detail helped create an out of this world experience that neither of us will ever forget. If we could do it all again at Ever After we would.”

“We found Ever After on Google last year. The venue looked beautiful and the thought of an intimate elopement sounded ideal to us.

When I spoke with Nicola and looked at the gallery we immediately knew it was perfect for us. We didn’t even feel the need to suss it out in person before the big day, and we definitely weren’t disappointed!

In the months leading up to the wedding, the lovely suppliers got in touch and were so helpful in helping us plan what we wanted for the day. There was so little for us to do, it was amazing and completely stress free! And the quality of the service from Nicola and the team is unmatched.

My favourite moments from our wedding day was obviously tying the knot. But I loved the process of getting ready. Ashleigh from the Hair Lounge and Jess from No 5 helped me through my pre wedding jitters and Clare our photographer was so wonderful at making us feel at ease. And my flowers! I adore flowers and I was blown away by Lizzie’s skill. They were perfect.

There is absolutely nothing we would’ve done differently. It was the most perfect and special day and 2 weeks later we are still on cloud 9.

Thank you so much Nicola and the Ever After team. We’ll never forget you!

“Our wedding day at Nicola’s intimate venue was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to her exceptional planning and hosting skills. From start to finish, every aspect of our day was a testament to her dedication and expertise.

Nicola’s grounds are an absolute dream. The picturesque setting is meticulously maintained, offering a serene backdrop with nearby woodlands and a charming river to explore before and after the ceremony. It felt like stepping into a fairytale, and it set the stage for a day filled with beauty and tranquility.

What truly sets Nicola apart is her wealth of wedding experience. Her ability to tailor our day to make it enjoyable for both of us was remarkable. She understood our vision and made it a reality, ensuring that every detail was just as we had envisioned.

Nicola’s assistance in coordinating our suppliers was a game-changer. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran seamlessly, and nothing was too much trouble. The suppliers she recommended were top-notch, and their expertise added an extra layer of luxury to our day.

The entire experience, from the moment we booked to the final moments of our wedding, was nothing short of pure luxury. Nicola’s attention to detail and her unwavering effort to make our day perfect were evident in every moment. It’s rare to find a place where the experience exceeds the advertisement, and Nicola’s venue delivered in spades.

If you’re considering an intimate wedding, do not hesitate to book at Nicola’s venue. Our wedding day was an experience we will cherish forever, and we are eternally grateful for the passion and dedication that Nicola poured into making it extraordinary. Thank you for creating a day that surpassed our wildest dreams!”

“I cannot recommend Ever After more. We were set on having a “just the two of us” day with our little dog but could never have imagined it being as perfect as it was.

Nicola and the team she works with are absolutely amazing at what they do. Nicola is such a warm and lovely person and runs the whole day perfectly. I wouldn’t change a thing. The venue is absolutely beautiful too.”

Hi Nicola,

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for our amazing wedding on Thursday.

It was beyond all of our expectations and everything ran so smoothly, we really can’t thank you enough.

We wish we could do it all over again!

All of the suppliers that were included; florist, photographer and caterers were exceptional and we were so impressed with every single detail.

Feel free to use any of our photos on your social media or website, I think Claire said she was going to send them to you.

Thanks again,

Hannah & Richard

Dear Nicola and Steven

We just wanted to say the biggest Thank You for making our wedding day so perfect!  Ever since we first reached out, you’ve been so friendly and knowledgable about all things wedding!  Your venue is absolutely stunning and it really did feel like our own ‘fairy garden’ for the few days we visitd.  You both made everything so easy for us, nothing was too much trouble and you were always on hand for any questions or to give us a nice glass of champagne at the end of the aisle!

You’ve honestly thought about everything and we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful wedding – thank you!

From Jessica, Matthew and Barney the dog (‘The Bennetts’)

Dear Nicola and team

We wanted to thank you so very much for organising for us the most beautiful elopement.  Everything was thought of and everything ran so smoothly and with ease.  We had such a lovely day!  We were especially blow away at how beautiful your grounds are – walking through there and along the river was a real highlight for us!  Thank you for your kindness, creativity and exceptional attention to detail.

We hope you have the best summer and the most well deserved break with your family!  We hope to be able to return in the future for an anniversary visit!

Sending you lots of love and thanks,
Jemma & Jon xx

When looking for a venue we wanted somewhere we could settle in and take our time the day before and after the wedding. Ever After perfectly offered this alongside a great package service. I loathed the idea of spending 100 hours trying to find different suppliers so this was a wedding dream! Nicola is incredibly knowledgeable and communication was seamless. The Ever After grounds are absolutely breathtaking and all of our guests commented on what a special and truly beautiful place it was….which resulted in some amazing wedding pictures.

If I could give any advice to future couples, stress less and just book it! Nicola has you covered and what you will have booked is wonderful! We booked over two years in advance and only visited the month before the wedding…….other than getting married….it’s the best decision we made!

Thanks Nicola and team!

Love Dr and Mrs Ford

Hi Nicola,

Just wanted to say thank you so much for creating such a beautiful day for myself and David last week. I’ve spent the last few days reliving it through the photos ?. It was an unforgettable day, and exactly the relaxing wedding we wanted.

Thanks again!
Caitlin and David

Dear Nicola

Thank you so much for our magical day at Ever After.  Between the blazing sunshine (in late November!) and the dreamy set up, we had a wedding that was more beautiful than we could have asked for.

Robins mean a lot to me (as you can see!) and one even visited us in the terrace.  We can’t thank you enough, it went like a dream.

Love and best wishes

Ashleigh and Michael xx

Nicola

Thank you for the most beautiful day.

You and the team of people you surround yourself with are just the best!

Forever thankful

Louise & Sam xx

Dear Nicola and Ever After team

Thank you so much for making our wedding so special.

Everything ran so smoothly on the day and we could not have asked for a more beautiful location!  We had such a wonderful day and couldn’t be happier.

Thank you again for all your hard work.

Ellie & Liam x

To Nicola, Steven and the whole Ever After team

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for all you did to make our day amazing. You all took care of every detail so we felt totally relaxed and able to enjoy every second of the day. From the accommodation to the food, everything was amazing and felt so special.

We are so glad we chose to have a small wedding, it just goes to show that sometimes doing things a bit differently can pay off and still be so memorable!

Love and best wish

Dear Nicola and Flora

A HUGE thankyou for making our wedding day just the most perfect day.
From the moment I contacted you last year we knew that Ever After would be the place we wanted together married. Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined just how wonderful it was.
I don’t know where to start with our thanks really as we are completely blown away. Our guests cannot stop saying how perfect the venue was too.
The organisation and communication was fantastic from day one, I knew after the first date change and how easily and swiftly that was sorted that we were in really safe hands with you.
The kindness you showed when we had last minute changes was so appreciated and rather than add to the stress of 5 people not being able to come you just made that less stressful too.
The Cottage and Annexe were incredible and every detail was covered. The cottage was just beautiful and the balcony area was just amazing, waking up hearing the birds singing and the sound of the river was magical.
The day itself just went so smoothly and we were just so so happy with everything, no fuss, just relaxed and chilled and super super special.
Thankyou so much for opening up your space to us and our guests, it’s absolutely stunning and I hope we didn’t disturb you at any point….there was some crazy dance moves and silly stuff but we were all so exhausted everyone wanted their bed by 11.30pm
Please do thank Sally too, she was just so helpful and again, like everyone was just so relaxed and welcoming. Buddy was especially happy that some leftover beef came his way too….he was such a good boy all day…staring lovingly at the pasties in the evening.
I could write pages and pages about how absolutely brilliant you are there but we will be eternally grateful to you for making our day perfect, we will be talking about it for a long time to come.
We know you must be exhausted with all the juggling and changes these last 18 months have brought I just hope things keep open and moving in the right direction for wedding venues so you can get back to normal levels of weddings there.
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU
Tracy, Jeff and Buddy

Just a little message to say thank you so much for a wonderful day on Wednesday. It was very special. Also for your support and communication throughout this pandemic.

I am so grateful to you for making it possible for my mum to be a part of it. She loved watching the ceremony on FaceTime. Flora, thank you for this. Everyone was amazed by the venue and commented on how beautiful it was. Even in the rain, it worked so well for us. It felt very cosy and intimate and we had such a happy time with our families.
We are so happy to finally be married!

I know you have been and continue to be very busy over the coming weeks and months. I hope everything goes really well for you.

Thanks again for such a special day,

Emma and Nick x

As a local couple, we’d often walk past Ever After and say how lovely it would be to get married there….fast forward a few years and there we were!

Covid put a stop to our larger wedding plans and we were able to hold a small, intimate wedding at Ever After and I’m so glad we did. From my first contact with Nicola, I knew we were in safe hands! If like me, you are happy for someone to plan for you, there is no one better to do this than Nicola and her team. The venue is stunning, picture perfect and Clare (the photographer) captures this is in every shot.

From getting ready in the beautiful honeymoon cottage to the ceremony in the wedding barn and our wedding breakfast, it was just as we would have hoped for and more. The elopement package allows you to leave the experts to sort your photographs, cake, flowers, canapés, wedding breakfast and champagne, you can concentrate on getting ready and enjoying the day.

To everyone at Ever After; Nicola, Steven, Flora and Sally (and anyone else behind the scenes) thank you for a perfect wedding in such a beautiful location and all your hard work with the date changes due to covid, it’s so appreciated x

Dear Nicola and Flora

Thank you so much for helping make our wedding day beautiful and stress-free!

It was perfect in every way.

Best wish

Claire & Ash

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!

Hannah & Ant

We just wanted to email to say a massive thankyou for everything you did for us on our wedding day, it was seamless and so stress-free and just overall a beautiful day, even with the rain!
We really appreciated all the work you did to make it happen and can’t thank you enough.
Also, thank you Flora for running around and getting the music in place throughout the day, as well as helping out with the buttonholes as neither me or James knew what we were doing!
Everyone said how beautiful the venue was and how they wanted to do the entire day again! I think the big fire went down a treat!
We also wanted to say a massive thankyou to Sally for all her work on the day – we don’t have any contact information for her, so please pass the message on to let her know how much we appreciated her on the day as well!
We hope that you have a good rest of the year with all the upcoming weddings and hopefully no more lockdowns!
Thanks again!
Best wishes,
Joe and Lauren

Dear Nicola and Flora,

We just wanted to send you a quick email to let you know that we were so happy with our wedding day. You guys went above and beyond to give us a special day. Your venue is stunning & we felt so lucky to have had our wedding there. Every single detail has been thought of. The decor was fab. My family all loved it too. It was so lovely meeting your little doggies. Thank you for the breakfasts.

We hope we get the opportunity to come back & visit one day. We are so glad we made the decision to change from the big wedding to the small elopement. It was perfect for us.

Many thanks & best wishes,

Aaron & Lauren x

I found Ever After ages ago through Instagram, and happily dipped into the wonderful vibe of folk in love marrying in this beautiful open air, riverside nook on the edge of my beloved Dartmoor. Last summer, Nicola published a new wedding plan – Ceremony Only Elopement weddings – which was exactly what we wanted: to marry locally, somewhere naturally beautiful. We also love that Ever After is an expertly run family affair, without any of the trappings of a corporate world.
Nicola swiftly hosted a socially distanced Ever After tour, and we booked our Spring 2021 wedding immediately, guided through the legal logistics calmly and expertly by Nicola.
As with most wedding couples through 2020/21, our plans had to change and were pretty much on hold until Feb 2021. We waited for the Gov announcement, after which the Ever After ninjas threw themselves into action, and created our perfect wedding in just over 6 weeks – extending our Ceremony Only into a full on Elopement wedding to accommodate a wedding breakfast for our party of 15. Even though it was not what we had originally planned, our day was just perfect; a wonderful, magical day, the birds singing, sun shining, surrounded by love, enjoying a decadent woodland feast in the most beautiful surroundings. All of Ever After’s organisation was skilful and discrete, seamless from top to toe – the timings, the music, the artistry of the floral decorations (bouquet and buttonhole were DIVINE!), the indescribable attention to minute detail, the care for us as a couple and for our loved ones who were with us, the delicious cake and Epicurean banquet, the heavenly tablescape, the ease with which our photographer coaxed the best out of two camera-shy introverts. I can’t think of a detail that I would now change.
My advice for anyone who wants a magical, intimate wedding in a woodland, riverside setting: trust Ever After – place yourselves in their expert hands – you will not regret it.’
This is what we would like to say directly to you, as concisely as possible (in addition to the above), without leaving out any of the words that need to be said:
Every wedding should be special – something has gone badly wrong if a wedding day falls down in any way. I’ve been to many weddings, and always cry because they are just so beautifully gorgeous. Our wedding at Ever After was nothing short of special. I cried at ours too.
‘Special’, though, doesn’t seem to stretch far enough to adequately describe the relaxed and magical intimacy of our wedding in the beautiful woodland dreamscape at Lower Grenofen. The expert organisation, both by email beforehand and in-the-flesh on the day, felt seamless. Each detail was deftly, artistically and (dare I say it) lovingly cared for: quietly and meticulously ensuring the music and ceremony timings flowed without hitch, just like the peaceful meander of the Walkham that day (unflappable even when Greg changed his mind from waiting in the barn for me to walking in with me just 3 minutes before the ceremony was due to start!); the hot water bottle and blankets waiting in the wedding barn to fend off a chill settling on my poorly mum; the ivy on the ceremony arch and majestic feast table freshly foraged from a tree by Flora the same morning; the professional ease which oozed from Sally as she ensured our loved ones enjoyed every morsel of their feast. Clare coaxed the best out of two camera-shy introverts – her photographs tell our story perfectly, and Amanda’s floral mastery is a wonder in itself. I have dried Greg’s buttonhole and my bouquet so that we might preserve an essence of their beauty. Our wedding breakfast and cake were an Epicurean delight thanks to Ollie and Harrie – delicious from canapes, through the entire feast to the mezze board that we dived into as dusk settled into darkness.
What sets Ever After apart is, I think, how very personal it is as it’s core in its ethos and approach to each couple. Like you say, Nicola, there is no cookie cutter wedding at Ever After – you ensure that every wedding is as individual and idiosyncratic as the couple who are marrying each other, expertly creating space for all of the love and fun and sunshine, out of which is borne the all-elusive enchantment which weaves and whispers through the very heart of Ever After.
We cannot thank you enough for our beautiful, intimate, happy, magical, fun-filled, love-filled, gorgeous day; we will forever carry it in our hearts.
Kindest,
Greg and Jeanette

Thank you all so much!! We had the absolute best day, you guys really have an amazing thing going and were a perfect fit for us. Everything was exactly as we had imagined if not better and on the day we didn’t have to think about a thing! We will be forever grateful, and our photos really capture the spirit of it all!
Thank you again, and keep doing an amazing job!
Mr and Mrs J

Cannot recommend this venue enough! We have just returned from our elopement and wouldn’t change a thing. The venue is far more impressive in person than in photos and that is saying something. Everything ran smoother than we could have ever planned and that was all thanks to Flora and Nicola. The photographer, florist and cake Baker provided by Ever After were the best you could ask for and we are so glad that we used them. You will not be disappointed if you decide to go with Ever After. A massive thankyou to the team.

Jack

We can not recommend this venue enough!!

We eloped about 2 weeks ago and the whole day was perfect. The whole team went above and beyond during these crazy times to make sure it went just right.

I knew as soon as I saw this venue online that I wanted to get married here. The venue is stunning, right on the river and so secluded ? The Food, flowers, photography and cake were all amazing as well.

The whole team is so friendly and accommodating and always responded quickly when I had a question, which during these times must have been difficult.

We really would recommend this place and I have even asked if we can renew our vows here next year, just to relive the day!

Dear Nicola and the whole Ever After team

Thank you so much for all your help with making our wedding day so special! We have made treasured memories at Lower Grenofen and are so grateful to you all!

The flowers were stunning and far beyond what I’d even hoped for!

Thank you to Claire for making us feel so relaxed being photographed.

To Sally & Flora the terrace looked magical and you were so attentive, we couldn’t have asked for more.

To Harrie, the cake was delicious, (almost too pretty to eat – almost!)

Please pass on our thanks to the caterers. The food was exceptionally good. Our parents said it was the best food they’d ever eaten at a wedding!

Finally Nicola, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us – we got there in the end!

Hannah & Ed and Molly the Dog.

We didn’t even need to view Ever After in person to know it was for us.

After many larger postponed wedding dates in other venues, Nicola, her team and trusted suppliers made our December 2020 elopement more magical and relaxed than we ever could of asked, or hoped for. Flora and Nicola made the (short) run up feel stress free and taken care of, and the day ran so smoothly. Every single supplier was friendly; listened to what we wanted and created the beautiful intimate wedding of our dreams. If you have the chance, elope to Ever After – it will be the best wedding decision that you make!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at Ever After for making our wedding day so perfect. We really couldn’t have asked for a better setting!! It really was the best day of our lives. An especially big thank you for making it happen this side of Christmas, you really went above and beyond!
Lydia & Tom xx

Thank you for everything, we had the loveliest day and it really was everything we had hoped for and imagined, and memories were definitely made that we will treasure forever. Thank you so much for making it so special for us, and please thank Martine for us too, she was really great. I was going to post a thank you card to you all.
You do a fantastic job there and have a brilliant team of suppliers too, the flowers were stunning and Clare was brilliant too, we love the photos!
I emailed Amanda to thank her for her beautiful bouquet, and replied to Clare when we had seen the photos to tell her we love them and thank her for making us feel at ease (I don’t like having my picture taken) and she was super.
Anna and Baxter (the Registrars) were wonderful too, they both made us feel that the ceremony was personal to us and not just a formality and were both so warm and sincere.
Everyone enjoyed your super newly decorated room inside for drinks too, so warm and cosy and stylish!
We thoroughly enjoyed having a few days to ourselves to relax and reflect on our lovely day.
Thanks again Nicola, we all had a fabulous time and everyone said that it was wonderful and they understood exactly why I felt we should be married there with you, so thank you, and thank Steven too.
I really hope that from hereon in there won’t need to be any further postponements or disruptions for you, it has certainly been a difficult year, and thank you again for all your help in the run up and over lockdown, I was so grateful.
Best wishes to you all.
We loved it!!!!

Dear Nicola & all the team at Ever After

To start with just wanted to say how grateful we are on being able to have our special day without any cancellations due to the covid 19 pandemic. We were able to enjoy our day two days to spare before we went into a second national lockdown!

We found out about Ever After by searching for elopement weddings on Google. I narrowed the search down to a few by following their social media pages and decided that Ever After was the perfect venue for us.

The whole process of booking was stress free. We didn’t need to worry about organising flowers, food or photography etc as this was all going to be arranged for us. We told the venue we wanted a romantic, rustic, vintage feel and this is definitely what we got.

We arrived the day before our wedding as was blown away by the honeymoon cottage. It was cosy and the perfect place for newly weds. I was very impressed by the bathroom……total bath goals!!

On the day of our wedding we made breakfast and then parted ways to start getting ready. Stephen went to the annexe which is next door to the honeymoon cottage. I was then visited by Tyler who did my makeup from No 5 Aesthetics and Beauty and Ashley from The Hair Lounge. Both girls were very professional and made me feel beautiful. I was then met Martine who was helping organise the running of the day, she couldn’t do anything more for us. Then Amanda dropped off my bouquet and Stephens button hole. The flowers were gorgeous. Clare the photographer took pictures of me getting ready and of me making my way down to the ceremony.

The ceremony was just beautiful, we got married next to an open log fire and surrounded by candles and fairy lights. After the ceremony we took a woodlands walk with Clare to have more pictures. The photos were ready to view online by the next day on the evening. We are amazed at how beautiful they are, thank you Clare.

After our wedding meal we were left to our own devices and spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening enjoying being newly weds. It was just perfect.

For any other couples who want a stress free, intimate wedding this is the place for you.

Finally we want to thank all involved in creating our perfect day.

Kind regards
Charlotte and Stephen x

We found Ever After whilst looking online for a venue that specialises in small weddings. We only wanted a small wedding with 10 people and nowhere else seemed to offer such a thing. When we first saw Ever After online we both said how we needed to see the place in person. We visited only a few days later and Nicola was so welcoming, polite and friendly. We walked out and just beamed and both said ‘this is the place!’. We didn’t even need to look anywhere else.
Nicola was amazing throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. We had to postpone our July date and she helped us to find another suitable date and kept us informed the whole time. We weren’t charged any extra costs for changes and everything was so easy.
The day was perfect, in fact it was even better than we expected it to be. It ran so smoothly with no hiccups and it was amazing to finally get married!
What we loved was how easy it was and not having to worry about the day. The team decorates everything for you and uses your pinterest board to do it to your taste. It is so simple and really helps to take the stress away. The venue itself is stunning! The ponds, flowers and little apple orchard is just so magical to take your first walks as a married couple in.
If you are looking for an intimate venue with an amazing team to support you through the whole process, then Ever After is perfect for you!
Ellie & Niall

Hi Nicola,

Just wanted to reiterate how much we enjoyed our wedding day at Ever After.
Everyone who has seen our pics have fallen in love with your venue including ourselves ?
Clare is absolutely amazing and really understanding, the flowers done by Amanda blew my mind and everyone loved the cake. You have great suppliers and staff 5*+ to Martine.
Finally, Just want to say thank you, for making our special day really memorable.
Kind regards,
Reni and Phil

Hi Nicola,

I consider us very lucky, weather wise and lockdown wise to have had the wedding when we did. Heartbreaking for others now though.

I had a wonderful day, lovely and intimate just the way we wanted. The honeymoon cottage is out of this world, if the bathroom wasnt fixed down I’d have had it away !!

I wouldnt change a thing, I would do it again in a heart beat.

Thankyou once again for opening up your beautiful home and grounds and giving us a very special weekend. Five stars from me !

3 weeks wow! We are so grateful for everything that you all did to make our day so wonderful and special. I feel terribly for those brides affected again by the upcoming lockdown, this year has been so unfair and so many levels.
We love our photos – the stars of the show had to be the pups, by allowing us to have our pups with us truly made our day. I was worried that Pippin would turn into the screaming banshee that she can be but they both settled right in, Arlington in particular loved playing with Chip and Spud.
I found Lower Grenofen by googling the heck out of the word ‘UK Elopement’. From there I found you on Instagram and Pinterest. Both platforms have fabulous content to give you a good vision of what is on offer.
The word elopement caught my eye. Then it was your magical photos, especially the dining set up, the river walk, the wood and you being in the middle of nowhere!!
Aside from no one being present when we arrived, we fell in love with lower Grenofen. While we waited for text messages to be answered we went for walk in the woods, so pretty. I love the fact that you’re in the middle of nowhere. The cottage is lovely and very clearly done with a lot of thought. The additional touches of food goodies was lovely too.
The fact that you offered a personalised unique experience in a wonderful setting, and your price package was spot on is what made us book.
We booked quite late on but Flora was fab at keeping us up to date. Not once did I feel overwhelmed or left hanging for further details.
Because I had not seen the ceremony area setup I was gobsmacked at how wonderful it looked when I walked into the area to see Michael and Arlington wagging his tail.
There really isn’t anything I would do differently. It was everything that we wanted.
Advice: don’t be afraid to completely elope. It’s magical. Take up on the extra hour of photography by Clare for some wonderful photos by the river. We asked Ollie to change our food menu and he did, my husband chose steak which he thoroughly enjoyed. A Pinterest board was perfect to share ideas with all the suppliers, especially if like us were travelling long distance.
Also, I have to say that the registrars were brilliant.
We are so happy that we chose Lower Grenofen. After our elopement to Canada was cancelled due to COVID-19 I was worried that our only option to get married was a registry office, not quite the forest elopement we were after. I researched several options within Yorkshire and not one was a patch on Ever After. Communication was spot on by all. All the suppliers are excellent at what they do and goods they provide, their enthusiasm showed through every element of their work. You provided the most perfect day and those memories will be ours to treasure forever. Thank you.
Carly & Michael

We have received our photos from Clare and we are so pleased with them, she has done an amazing job and is a wonderful person.

All of the staff were lovely, Martine who looked after us on the day was amazing, so I would like to thank her for that.

The food was excellent, taste and presentation was outstanding. The cake was gorgeous and more. The flowers were stunning and beyond anything I could have imagined, Amanda did a great job.

The girls who did my hair and makeup, Jodie and Taylor were so calming and lovely. They made me feel so at ease.

We enjoyed our day a lot, the location and ceremony was perfect.

Dear Nicola,

We wanted to write to say thank you so very much as we had the most wonderful wedding yesterday – it was absolutely perfect!!
We really enjoyed the ceremony and it was amazing to have it in the beautiful barn. The reception area also looked stunning – the set up and decoration was fabulous and we and all of our guests had a wonderful time!!
The suppliers were all fantastic too. I absolutely loved the flowers which were incredible as was the cake which also tasted delicious. The food was lovely and got many compliments. We loved Clare the photographer and she has already sent through our album and from a quick look it looks like she has taken many amazing shots.
We can’t thank you enough as we feel very lucky to have had our big day at Lower Grenofen – it was more than we could have wished for!
Thank you again to you and Flora for all the planning and then for the most wonderful day.
Best wishes,
Pippa and Theo xx

Thank you so much for helping us still have an amazing day in spite of the state of the world right now!

We made a pretty last minute decision for look for a venue specialising in elopement packages following the scuppering of our original plans – and Nicola and the team were incredibly helpful from day 1!

We’re based 5+ hours away so couldn’t visit, but the site is even better than the photos! It was perfect to be able to turn our wedding into a beautiful and tranquil getaway, just the two of us – the woodland setting for photos and general exploring, and the private accommodation, sealed the deal for us. Would absolutely recommend for any engaged couples wondering what to do right now!

Hi Nicola,
We just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you did for our special day on Thursday. Your venue is so stunning, even more so than in all of the pictures I had seen. The cottage was perfect and had everything we needed and more. The barn and the terrace were beautiful and we are so happy that we chose Ever After as our wedding venue. We are so glad that you managed to fit us in before baby comes along.
Please thank Martine for us, she was so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you both for looking after Teddy and Toby for us during the ceremony and whilst Max and I had pictures taken, it was so appreciated. The table set up was beautiful too! I can’t stop looking at all the pictures!
Wishing you all the best,
Kelly and Max

Hi Nicola

First of all, can we say thank you for our amazing day. We would not have changed a thing. The setting for the ceremony, the flowers, the meal and the pictures were beyond anything we could have ever hoped for. One of our friends commented about one of the woodland pictures that she expected fairies to pop out of the bushes and float around in the background!

When searching for a venue (yes, using good ole Google) what caught our eye was A) the amazing setting that was fantastically highlighted by Clare’s brilliant photography and B) the fact that most of the major decisions that accompany getting married – finding a photographer, a caterer and flowers – were already supplied within the price. Again, Clare’s photography made us very confident that no matter what we got from your suppliers we were going to be very happy with.

All of your suppliers were amazing and all exceeded our expectations. We weren’t just happy- we were thrilled. The food and flowers were simply brilliant. Taylor’s meal was every bit as good as any we’ve ever had. The flowers were stunning and were exactly what we wanted. And a special mention also needs to go to both the hairdresser and makeup girl for their efforts made more difficult with all the Covid-19 restrictions they needed to work with.

As we thankfully didn’t have months of planning involved, we can’t really comment about the build up because it all happened so fast. Again, the fact that most of the additional planning around food, photographer and flowers was already more or less done was a big factor in deciding to book with Ever After.

Everything we’d seen online made us confident all would be amazing on the day, and it most certainly was.

As for advice for other couples, the only thing we wish we had done differently was to take a moment when we were walking from the cottage to the ceremony to stop outside the wedding barn and compose ourselves. There is no rush but we marched straight in and then suddenly realized that the ceremony had started – it somehow took us by surprise!

Our day was perfect from start to finish. Yes – the sun shining helped enormously. The venue and location are amazing (you are very lucky) – but it is set up to work whatever the weather. We loved Spud and Chip (and Hazel did too of course!) and the dogs playing as we drunk our champagne was brilliant fun. It wasn’t the first wedding for either of us – but it was most definitely the best for both of us!!

Rachel & Scott

Hi Nicola,

Sending a massive thank you for allowing us to have the best day of our lives at your gorgeous home. I can’t explain how special the entire day was, from getting ready in the beautiful cottage to how stunning the ceremony area was and of course how gorgeous you set up the dining/evening area.

Once again, thank you for everything, especially throughout covid and moving the date, saving us two dates ! and being so on top of informing us about everything. We really lucked out coming to you and I am forever grateful!

Best wishes,

Hannah & Josh

Hi Nicola
We had an absolutely incredible day and wouldn’t have wanted to have done anything differently. We were so taken aback by how much thought you had all put in to making everything look so beautiful and run so smoothly!
The pictures are amazing and we’re so pleased with what Claire managed to achieve.
We were also very impressed with the food! Ollie did an amazing job, everyone is still talking about how good the bubble and squeak was.
The cake from Harrie was delicious and so beautifully presented, especially with Amanda’s amazing choices of flowers.
You work with some incredibly talented people and we really can’t thank you enough for giving us everything we wanted from our wedding day.

Best wishes
Gemma

Hi Nicola and Kerry,
We are one month on from our wedding. Wow, that has flown by and we have been reflecting back with the wonderful photos.
We both wish to thank everyone at Ever After for making our day so magical and special.
Our 4 guests also couldn’t praise the staff and venue enough.
The food was fantastic, the flowers were gorgeous and us girls felt really special with our wonderful hair styles.
The venue was idyllic and has been a great talking point with friends and family.
We had been together for 24 years and wanted somewhere different and special to set us on the road for married life. Ever After was that place, which will forever be in our memories.
Not sure if Clare has yet shared the photos with you. If not let me know and I will forward some on.
Thank you once again for such a special day.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Annette and Kevin
(the new Mr & Mrs Lewis)

Hi Nicola
I’m just writing to say a massive thank you to you, your husband and team at Ever After for our gorgeous wedding in October (sorry it’s taken me so long!) It was everything we could’ve wished for and more! We still can’t get over how beautiful your venue is! Nothing was too much trouble and we felt so welcomed!
Our families absolutely loved the venue too, so much that my parents are considering coming back to renew their vows in a couple of years! We’ve also had so many compliments from friends back home about your gorgeous venue!
Thank you again and we wish you all the best for future!
Amy & Christian xx

“I’ve been meaning to get in touch as I had promised to summarise how idyllic our wedding was.

I procrastinated as I thought it would be useful for you if I crafted something special that maybe you could use on your website, something that really captured what we experienced. Well, I’ve realised that’s impossible!!!

I moved on to wanting to make you a photo gift. A second one was designed for my furry guests! I was a bit embarrassed as obviously you are very creative and work with artistic people all the time!!…. so that hasn’t happened yet!

Oh it then changed again… I pressed my bouquet petal by petal and wanted to make a hand made card. I wanted to do something to capture how special I felt when saying thank you to you.

And so the procrastination grew!! And continues!!! Including still being glued to your website and Instagram!!!

In the meantime we have been looking at all the photos everyday, reminiscing about how you and David made it happen in less than 10 days!! What fun! Everyone we share our experience with is in awe of you and your vision for your business. David is one of five children and the last to get married, My sister In law, Stephanie, said David saved the best to last! We bought our Mothers a Pandora leaf necklace each to remember the woodland wedding. I’m not sure they’ve taken them off! They certainly never stop talking about our ‘Ever’ After’ wedding.

The reason for my email is that I want to make sure I say thank you. I / We will be forever grateful for your support in making it a legal ceremony at such short notice – we could never have achieved this without your guidance. It was extra special not having to compromise.

As for your ‘Ever After’ experience itself…. how do I encapsulate that? I don’t think you can. I mainly express myself with tears of joy. It’s too hard to explain how special our time was. Luckily Clare Kinchin’s photos can help bridge the lack of appropriate words!!! This would truly be the case regardless of my cancer. ‘Ever After’ would have been the most perfect venue for myself and David if we had trawled the united Kingdom looking for something that was just ‘me and David’.

I was completely at peace with the fact that David may have preferred to be remained engaged rather than be the center of attention at a wedding (I’m very similar). To see him so relaxed and in the moment in your setting and choosing your elopement style wedding was an absolute joy for me. Still is.

There’s so much to say about your team and all the 100s of things you did behind the scenes that we didn’t even have to think about. I am grateful for those things but don’t want to go into it as it takes my thoughts away from the fact that it felt like it happened by magic (and I want to keep it that way)!!!

I feel lighter for trying to say thank you to you for my beautiful memories of David becoming my husband.

I wish you, your team and my favourite boys (Chip & Spud) all the very best.

Much Love

MRS Caroline Reynolds!!”

Hello you wonderful people

I truly can not put into words, how absolutely perfect our day was yesterday.

The venue.. could not have been more amazing if I had created It myself. Nicola it is definitely a one of a kind out of this world venue & you are a perfect host.

Harrie, Amanda & Clare OMG you certainly are the dream team – We were honoured & privileged to have had all of your amazing creations. Clare you made being photographed a little less painful – really didn’t feel like we were being photographed at all.
You truly are all brilliant at your jobs ❤️❤️❤️

Rosie you have been perfect, I have not worried about anything & have been there every time I emailed (even stupid o clock on a Sunday evening!!)

The day could not have been any more perfect.. you are all amazing & we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

All our love Mr & Mrs Clark aka Kev & Sharon xxxxx

Good Afternoon Nicola,

Everything is fantastic with Mark and I, thank you. Married life feels great and we feel so much more in love and filled with more purpose than ever before. What a beautiful thing!

I struggle to find the words to describe our wedding photos that will give them the credit they truly deserve, but a word that comes to mind is … breathtaking! Clare perfectly captured all of our little BIG moments! We were looking for a more natural and impromptu approach to our photos and that is what we received. We are left thinking we should have kept her around in the evening for the dancing and games! I can only imagine how well she would have captured our first dance, father daughter dance and all the other dance moves and fun we had in the evening on the terrace. We simply cannot believe the quality and quantity of photos that she produced. We thought it would feel awkward and perhaps we wouldn’t pose right for the 1:1 photo op in the forest, but we looked forward to it none the less. We found the experience to be the exact opposite; we felt right in our element and had a blast, to Clare’s credit. She was lovely to be around and made the process feel natural and fun.

We found Ever After: A Dartmoor Wedding on good ole Google! We searched elopement packages in the United Kingdom (I believe) and there Ever After popped up. It was the first venue we looked at in our search, but we took a couple more days to look through a few others. Whilst looking at other venues, we found ourselves constantly comparing everything to Ever After. We live in North East England, therefore Lower Grenofen was quite the trek for our wedding – however, we very quickly realized that Ever After was the venue for us despite the distance and we saw that a date became available for April 2019 (Thank god!). We saw the distance as an opportunity to make a trip away with close friends and family in further celebration of our nuptials – which turned out perfect, as did our wedding day. We had quality time with our loved ones and the Devon area is truly gorgeous. We hope to return for our anniversary at some point in years to come.

What initially caught our eye during our search was the ceremony terrace – we wanted an outdoor English countryside feel, whilst still having shelter for all possible weather forecasts. The Terrace is beautifully decorated, and I absolutely loved the glass rooftop and the large wood burning fireplace. We could clearly see on the website that the property was lavishly covered in florals and a green landscape completely surrounding the terrace. We never envisioned having our wedding in a rental tent marque or hall, so Ever After’s elopement package was perfect in this respect.

A few other things that caught our eye was…
– Dogs allowed! We adore our pup, Finn. He is part of our family and we were keen to have him join our joyous festivities.
– The honeymoon cottage. We wanted to have a bit of an oasis to relax in prior to and directly following the wedding. The honeymoon cottage was well received both on the website and in person – especially for its décor, balcony and deep soaker bath tub!
– The elopement package included everything aside from alcohol (which is still available at an extra cost, I believe, from reading the venue blog). Most elopement packages differed in what they offered, many of which required us to still seek out our own separate vendors for certain elements of the day. We loved that with Ever After, all things are well considered and included in the package price. When we looked up the contracted Ever After vendors on Instagram, we were blown away with each and every skillset of the team involved.
– The package was absolute luxury at an affordable price for us. It ticked many important boxes for us that other venue packages simply didn’t for similar cost.
– The real elopement weddings section on the website. This gave us a great idea of what other couples elopements looked like, with honest and detailed reviews of their experience.

After realizing that Ever After was definitely the venue for us, we sent an email over to you (Nicola) to enquire about the date and other questions we had. You replied promptly within 24 hours and offered to speak to me over the phone to answer some of our more in depth questions. This was greatly appreciated! You held the date available by a couple of days for Mark and I to discuss the answers I had received over the phone. This was the first highlight of that no-stress ethos that Ever After promises… and delivered!

We paid our deposit and started planning. Our experience in the months leading up to the big day was easy and fun – I enjoyed planning! I’m a very organized, detail-oriented person, but also a person who greatly enjoys a low stress life. You always hear about how stressful wedding planning can be, but honestly, I didn’t find that to be the case at all. Rosie and all the vendors worked very well with each other and us at prompting thoughts on things we hadn’t considered, answering all of my questions and attentively collecting all of the little elements of our day to create the vision we had in mind.
Each element of our Wedding Day far surpassed what we had envisioned in our mind. The team at Ever After took everything on board and tied it together seamlessly; We were in awe, and so were our guests. The flowers from Amanda were amazing. She made extra bouquets for our daughter and maid of Honour, and another buttonhole for our Best Man for a great price. Lauren from No.5 made me feel gorgeous and helped me decide the look I was going for, asking all the right questions and trying a couple different looks. Harrie helped us come up with custom menus for our family of picky eaters and our vegetarian Maid of Honour. The cake and food were full of flavor and enjoyed by all. She even packed up the extra chicken for our dog! A treat he thoroughly enjoyed.

Our first impression upon arrival the evening before our wedding day was – wow – pure happiness! We had no clue what we would receive other than what the website and Instagram delivered. Due to being from 6 hours away, we hadn’t had the chance to visit prior, though Nicola offered. What is available online accurately depicts what you see upon arrival. Actually, both of us and many of our guests that had researched Ever After prior to the wedding said that the venue was even more gorgeous in person, which says a lot if you’ve looked at all of the pictures online.

We loved the privacy of the terrace location. We loved the proximity to the Riverbank and Dartmoor National Park (big outdoors people, we are). We loved everything.
We found pure bliss on our wedding morning, waking up with breakfast supplies ready for us to cook together. We made breakfast and had coffee on that beautiful balcony and in that moment, everything felt so right. What a great way to spend our morning before we would become Husband and Wife. After breakfast, we went our separate ways to get ready. There was space for Mark separate from me in a different part of the venue property. Rosie checked in on us both throughout the morning, and all of the vendors arrived with big smiles on their faces, eager to share the loving labour of their trades and well wishes for Mark and I. There wasn’t a thing I needed to think about other than how I wanted my makeup, which No.5 MUA Lauren made easy as well.

I think our favourite moment on the day (of which there were many) was directly after the ceremony when we had the opportunity to spend our first moments as husband and wife with a glass of champagne and our loved ones followed by our riverbank/forest photoshoot, just the two of us. It was the best of both worlds and we were feeling so full of love.

The only thing I’d do differently in hindsight is arrive at the venue earlier (we were delayed and didn’t arrive until nearly 8pm the night before our wedding). I would have liked to have more time to relax in the cottage and also have a little rehearsal of the walk into the ceremony with our small wedding party. We were all a little lost at what to do and when prior to the ceremony, which Rosie pretty much saved us on! However, I got so caught up in my excitement and emotions (happy ones – mainly OMG this is the song… I can’t look at anyone or I’ll walk in crying emotions) … that long story short, I completely forgot to link my Father’s arm and walk in with him. Something he has been waiting for all his parental life. I just darted it down the aisle and Dad close behind, bless him! It was still a very special moment and something we all laugh at now but would have been good to have practiced just a couple of times. To each their own though! Spontaneity can be equally refreshing and hey, we have a funny story to boot now.

The advice I’d give other couples looking to book Ever After as their venue, or currently planning your dream wedding with Ever After is…

1. Don’t sweat the small stuff – Not everything goes exactly to plan despite everyone’s best efforts. Expect something to go slightly different than you expected, but also see the beauty in that! Roll with it and try not to sweat it. Ever After will help with anything that may go off plan and they are pretty darn good at ensuring as much goes to plan as possible. Remember what your day is all about – you’ll quickly realize that all that really matters is sharing that intimate moment of saying I do to a lifetime with your best friend and everything else is a big bonus.

2. Trust the venue and vendors – they are fantastic and are all very talented in their own respects. When it comes to planning and how everything came together, we wouldn’t change a thing. Something that helped us, was looking at pictures of other weddings that had occurred at Ever After and pulling pieces that we loved or felt fit our vision well. This, alongside inspo pictures from Pinterest really helped me and the team at Ever After’s understanding of our vision. Share with them your personal vision and trust that they will deliver!

3. Eat the cake – I’m not a huge cake fan. I thought it was going to be more for Mark and our guests apart from a small finger sized piece for me per tradition, but wow, Harrie knows how to make a cake lover out of me. It was so good – thanks Harrie!

4. If you can afford it, book an extra hour or 2 with the Photographer – Clare Kinchan. I promise you; it is money well spent.

5. Lastly, enjoy every single moment – the day goes by so fast. Everyone says that, but truly, “time flies when you’re having fun” will have a whole different meaning on your wedding day. Our daughter said before going to sleep that she wished we had all just woke up so she could experience the whole day again. I couldn’t agree more. It will be one of the best days, if not thee Best Day of your life. It surely was ours. Soak every moment in, every scent, every feeling, everything.

We feel so very thankful to all of you involved in making our Wedding Day so special. It truly was everything we had hoped for, and more Nicola, thank you a million times over.

Kindest Regards,

Mark & Jessi Farrell

Thank you so much for helping create such a wonderful day, it was just what we wanted.

After spending what felt like forever on google look for the perfect intimate wedding venue in the South West, i stumbled across Ever After. From the moment i saw ‘elope and have it all’ and the gorgeous photos from Clare Kinchin i knew this venue was for us. We could still have the full wedding experience (venue to ourselves, delicious wedding breakfast complete with mini wedding cake, gorgeous flowers) all whilst having the small, intimate wedding we wanted and as a bonus we hardly had to lift a finger, Nicola and her team would organise it all for us. The beautiful scenery and high standard of the suppliers gave us the confidence to book our wedding without visiting the venue. Everyone we dealt with made the whole process so simple. We were quite relaxed about what we wanted so it was lovely being able to give each supplier a rough idea (pinterest was defiantly our friend here) and they where all able to produce something amazing. The whole day was just perfect, i never thought i could be so relaxed on my wedding day. Knowing that everything was taken care of, along with not having to worry about making loads of guests happy,meant that we could both jut enjoy the day with our closest friends and family. If anyone is worried about booking their wedding at Ever After without seeing the venue, i would say go for it! The setting is more beautiful in real life and it was so simple being able to plan a wedding, all via email, in just a few months. Everything was incredible and we cant thank you enough. Best wishes,

Laura and Brad.

We recently had our wedding with Ever After and went for the elopment package. We spent three years trying to find a wedding that was right for us, we wanted it to be simple, just the two of us but still have all the elements of a wedding that make it special and that’s exactly what we got! I have spent days, if not weeks on google researching elopment venues all over the country and the world and happened to come across the Ever After website. The pretty scenery and cottage had me contacting Nicola and securing our date within an hour.

We booked our date with only a few months to go and everyone at Ever After was so helpful. We were given a guide of what we needed to plan and time scales to help us. All the details are thought of and arranging the wedding was so straight forward. The photographer, chef and florist all got in touch via email. I had complete freedom over my choices but was also given help and advice where needed. Everyone I spoke with was so nice and I really felt as though I knew everyone before I met them all. It was the simplest easiest way to plan a wedding and I had no stress at all! I was also put in touch with a local hairdresser and makeup artist for on the day which was helpful as I do not live locally.

When arriving at the venue I was so surprised at how stunning it was. The pictures online are amazing but nothing compared to real life. The cottage and surrounds are stunning, I never wanted to leave. All the personal touches such as having the fridge stocked and biscuits to eat made it very welcoming.

My favourite moment of the wedding was feeling like it was just about us. With other weddings you are trying to please all your guests whereas at Ever After everyone is working to make your day perfect and it really is all about you. There were no worries and everything ran smoothly making the day romantic and intimate. Everyone who was involved came to chat and check we were comfortable and then gave us plenty of time and space to enjoy the day.

I was worried I would regret having the wedding as just the two of us but it was just right and I wouldn’t change a thing. There is plenty of room for larger weddings, which would also be beautiful in the setting. I would advise any other couples planning their day to go with Ever After as it can be designed exactly the way you want it and the simplicity of it is brilliant. I have watched so many people plan weddings and be running around every night to meet with different people and put it all together. It has been stressful for them and here it is all in one place.

Overall our mini break and wedding were the most amazing few days and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful setting to wed. I would just like to thank Nicola, Bethany and all the other ladies for the most wonderful wedding and happy memories. I would love to visit again one day.

Dear Nicola,

Thank you for our perfect elopement at Ever After in August.

We were thrilled with every element of our day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning- the location, the gardens and woodlands, the honeymoon cottage and the terrace where our ceremony was held. And to have it to ourselves was amazing and helped to make the day special- something we had worried about with an elopement.

We also worried that, because we didn’t have a ‘vision’ of our day- we just wanted to get married!- that our day might be lacking somehow. But we needn’t have worried; you and your professional team ensured a romantic, special day that we’ll remember forever.

We also loved Sarah’s flowers; are thrilled with Clare’s photography and the food that Harrie provided was, for us, sublime. And we can’t wait to see our video from Caroline and Chris!

Thanks also to you and Bethany for your advice and help before the day and for Bethany’s calmness on the day. She ended up helping me into my dress ,, and i’m not sure that in my nervous state i even thanked her!

Bethany and Emma made us comfortable after our photos and made sure we had all we needed- Lotty (dog) was even treated to a special doggy ice cream.

You have amazing wedding venue and team- our is the best wedding we’ve ever been to!

Perhaps we might return for a celebration and bring some friends and family next time?!

Thank you all for a day we will never forget.

Dear Nicola, Bethany & Emma,

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for making our wedding day so special. We could not have wished for a better location to get married, everything seemed to come together in such a relaxed way. We are truly grateful for a magical day that we and our children will never forget.

Hi Nicola and Bethany,

We just wanted to say thank you for such an amazing day, it was even more special than we could ever have imagined.

The venue is absolutely stunning and the staff were so helpful and made the day run perfectly. It was truly a big small wedding with no stress just enjoyment.

Thank you again and we can’t wait to see Clare’s photos.

Best wishes and thank you again, Laura and Mark

Hi Nicola,

Thank you so much for making our wedding day everything we wanted and more. It was perfect and we loved every minute of it. The team you have and yourself are all amazing, we cannot thank you all enough.

We adore the photos, they made us all cry when we looked through them. I can’t wait to get some hung around our home. Everybody we have shown them to think the pictures and your venue are stunning. Ooooh I can’t wait to see pics on your social media ? feel free to use them how and when ever you like, all our family now know and have seen the pictures.

Thank you once again from all of us.

Love Louise, Paul and family x

Just a email to say a massive thank you for making our day perfect, really was above and beyond all our expectations.

From the stunning cottage, to our beautiful ceremony, lavish reception to the most wonderful photos that we will cherish forever. The venue and surrounding area is absolutely beautiful.

Like a fairy tale story, absolutely stunning.

Ian and I are currently enjoying our honeymoon in Tenerife and we are still talking about how wonderful it was.

So thank you again.

Many thanks and best wishes

Ever After was one of the first hits after searching Google for elopement weddings in the south west, and from that first glance at the website we didn’t look back! Looking through all the pictures and details on the website we knew that it was perfect for what we wanted; an intimate celebration, just the two of us.

We decided not to visit before the day; we wanted it to be a surprise. Nicola was fantastic at answering our (many!) questions and all the correspondence was helpful and reassuring. The run up to the wedding was so relaxed and easy. We had nothing to worry about; all was taken care of for us from the décor to the food to the flow of the day. All we had to do was turn up with the outfits and the rings!

We were so excited to finally get there and our first impressions of the venue confirmed beyond a doubt that we had made the best choice – it was stunning! We arrived the day before the wedding and had chance to soak up the beautiful and quiet atmosphere with a walk in the woods followed by a bottle of champagne in our cottage.

Our wedding day was perfect, it was exactly as we had wished it to be. The decorations were beautiful, the food was unbelievable, the photographer was fabulous, the log fire was luxuriously romantic, everything had been perfectly organised (by Nicola!) and felt so natural and relaxed.

Our advice to other couples would be to let Ever After do all the hard work! Nicola definitely knows what she is doing and there isn’t a single thing we would do differently! We are so happy that we chose to celebrate our wedding at Ever After, a perfect beginning to our own happily ever after!

As soon as my partner and I decided we wanted to go away and elope we literally just googled ‘elope in the uk’ and after about an hour of browsing we felt that Ever After was the perfect backdrop for our small, intimate wedding. We love nature, we love the forest and the location was just stunning.

I loved the fact that there was an amazing package deal. Usually with package deals you get the basic quality food/flowers/photography etc so I loved the fact that with Ever After all of the extras were of the highest standard and highly rated by previous customers.

We left after visiting Ever After beaming from ear to ear. We were like ‘WOW.’ I loved how relaxed and in control Nicola seemed, I knew that the day would go perfectly in her hands.

The location, the extras, the price…..everything about what was being offered seemed reasonably priced and stress free, those are the reasons we booked Ever After. I also loved we had access to the entire venue for almost two days!

We only had about 10 weeks to prepare from the moment of booking to the actual ceremony. It was relatively stress free apart from trying to create a suitable menu for my extremely fussy family. It was mainly my family causing me to get stressed, Harriet the chef was amazing to accommodate my requests and we ended up with the most delicious food ever. My husband (who is a massive cheesecake fan) said the white chocolate cheesecake Harriet made, for our dessert, was the best he ever had.

Being invited on a quad bike to go into the depths of the woods to take some amazing quality photos was one of my fave moments of the day. I surprised myself at how relaxed I was about getting my dress dirty; I just didn’t care. Ha. Being able to just relax and chill out in the evening was also amazing.

There is absolutely nothing we’d do differently. It was perfect. Complete and utter perfection.

My advice to other couples is if you want to elope just do it. I had never thought I wanted to elope but it was honestly the best thing in the world. I didn’t have to spend ages greeting all the guests and doing speeches and getting favours for all those that attended. It was simple and easy.

Thank you so so much Nicola, for giving us the most perfect day. I will never forget it. I have people telling me they can’t believe how gorgeous the flowers were (especially that they were included in the package) and how amazing the photography was. It has got people who never wanted to elope questioning whether they should go and do it! Thank you so much Nicola!!!

Ever After was such a magical place for our elopement wedding. We felt so cocooned down in the wooded valley in our own little wedding bubble that we didn’t want to leave after 2 days tucked away from the world.

When we got engaged we both decided we wanted it to be just be the 2 of us and starting looking for somewhere which did elopement/intimate weddings. On finding Ever After online we visited in Aug 2016 and knew this was the place to get married. Then before we knew it….just over a year later we were excited to be making the 4 hour journey to Devon to get married.

Nicola and the team at Ever After really looked after us and we loved the autumn styling for our wedding breakfast…..and over a month on and we still have the miniature pumpkins. The elopement package means that you also experience the skill/dedication of Amanda, Clare and Harrie. I knew my bouquet made by Amanda would be stunning…and it was. Clare made us feel so at ease, that are wedding photos are so relaxed that everyone who had seen them could tell how happy we were on the day. Harrie’s food was tasty and we loved the diary free wedding cake. Nicola also recommend Jodie (Hair) and Jess (Make-up) who did such a good job in making me feel beautiful.

From the minute we arrived to when we left, we loved our two special days at Ever After. Our wedding day was beyond perfect and Lower Grenofen, the wooded valley with its lovely stream will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

Clare and Simon xx

Many thanks again for organising our wedding with you last Thursday – both Keith and I thoroughly enjoyed the day and loved the whole style of your venue when we were able to see it in person. It was perfect!

We’re really pleased with the photos Claire took. Like all of the people you recommended she’s extremely able and a great person to be around. Perfect for the occasion, and extremely good at coaxing photos out of people who usually run a mile!

With many thanks again

Karen

We are so grateful to everyone at Ever After for making our day so special. The help from Nicola and her team with planning and preparation for our special day was amazing especially as we are new parents to our beautiful little baby boy Bob…so this was a real help! They were always there to answer any of our questions ahead of our arrival and went above and beyond for us before and during our stay.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and is situated in the middle of a woodland, rustic and incredibly charming – no pictures online can do this justice you have to see it! Most people worry about weather for their special day and we were the same… however we needn’t have as the venue is equally beautiful in all types of weather as we experienced. Where we stayed was beautifully quaint and all of the little things had been thought of which was really appreciated.

What we found to be a real help during planning was that Nicola put us in contact with Claire (Photographer), Harriet (Chef) and Sarah (Florist) – all of these ladies are incredibly talented and we are so grateful to them for all their hard work. Claire took some incredible photo’s, Harriet’s food & cake was absolutely delicious and Sarah’s work with our flowers and my back piece was something extra special. Thank you all so much!

We also decided to have a video made of our day and we were very fortunate to be able to work with “Baxter & Ted”… Caroline and Chris were just so lovely, they know the site well and we are so excited to see the finished product. Thank you both for all your support… Chris thanks for holding the nappy ?

Sally (part of the EA team) who looked after us during the day was so good with Bob! Thank you Sally we appreciated it so much!

What really made our time at EA extra special was the people… everyone went above and beyond for us to make our day perfect.

We feel so lucky to have had you all as part of our special day.

Thank you so much

Love Sarah, Dan & Baby Bob

Good morning Nicola,

We just both wanted to say thank you so very much for all you did for us, no issue was ever too small and of course for all the hard work which went into making our big day on Thursday so very special. We really could not have asked for anything more.

It was lovely to finally meet you. Your team of ladies are a massive credit to you. The flowers, our hair, food, cake, cottage and the oh so beautiful venue. We really could not have wanted nor asked for anything more.

We had the most amazing day ever, and such fond memories to last a lifetime. We can not wait to see the photos! Would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Thank you

Best wishes

Andrea & Robert

Ps. Thank you for calming my nerves. There really wasn’t a single thing for me to be worried about ?

Dear Nicola

Thank you so much in helping us realise our dream in running away & getting married.

The day couldn’t have been more perfect. We will remember everything you did for the rest of our lives.

Lots of love

Neil, Luci & pups xxx

Dear Nicola (and everyone at lower grenofen, aka the A-team?!!…),

We wanted to say thank you to you all for yesterday and for your amazing work!

We had an completely fantastic time, we are soooooo happy and excited! Everything was perfect and better than we could have imagined!

We will send you all a card but we just wanted to say thank you now before we leave.

All our love,

Sophie and Pepe x x x

We had the best day ever, everything was utterly perfect and we really did want to say a huge thank you for everything. It was all that we wanted and more. Every single person we came into contact with were just incredible and we felt so looked after. The grounds are so beautiful and we were so thankful for the beautiful weather.

Clare was amazing and we cannot wait to get the pictures back from her.

The cottage was beautiful, we just loved it and we did try to leave it was we found it.

We picked up a property magazine as we would love to move down that way!!

I just cannot get over what an amazing day we had and that’s all down to you so thank you for making my wedding day the best day ever.

We’ll be in touch soon,

Joanna and Simon xxx

It really was a wonderful day! Thank you so much for all that you did to make it so perfect. I think it’s wonderful that we could get that ‘big day’ experience with such an intimate guest list. Everyone was so warm and friendly; it really put us at our ease and allowed us to enjoy the day. Yours is a truly exceptional venue. I’m so pleased we were able to get married there.

Our forever thanks,

Kristy, Peter & Viggo xxx

Wow! We did it! We are married! Was a lovely day. The venue was fantastic, Nicola made sure we wanted for nothing. The flowers are amazing, I love them. The food was gorgeous, I want the main course again! And the photographer Clare was brilliant. Thank you for everyone who helped and let me be a diva to a princess yesterday.

Hi Nicola

We would like to thank you and your husband for your part in our special day and allowing us to get married at your wonderful home and gardens – we will never forget it.

Thank you for everything

Nath & Lou

Hi Nicola,

I would just like to thank you and your team once again for making our wedding day perfect. Running your own business and living almost 400 miles away from a wedding venue could prove problematic when planning a wedding, I am so pleased this was not the case when we booked our elopement with you.

You were constantly at the end of an email answering all my questions, no matter how mundane. Any need was met by you and your amazing friendly staff.

I was worried that as the flowers and cake were all included in the cost, corners would have been cut however this was not the case at all.

The flowers Amanda put together for me were all that I had hoped they would be, it was almost as if she had an insight into my mind – they were that perfect ?

The food and cake Harrie made were just as amazing, and the extra meals for our guests were worth every penny and more.

We had Clare take our photos. I hate having photos taken, but she helped ease the pain as she is so friendly. And the photos we’ve had back are stunning.

We wanted a small and intimate wedding with just our sons and 2 friends present to witness, this is why we opted for one of your elopement wedding packages.

Your venue is perfect, the honeymoon cottage was beautiful and the views and surrounding area were absolutely stunning <3 You and your team put so much love, care and thought into making the day magical for us, I genuinely cannot thank you all enough. So thank you once again for our amazing day <3 <3 Big Hugs, Vanessa xx

We had the most perfect wedding at Ever After and were so lucky to find somewhere that was able to offer just what we were looking for. My husband and I wanted to have an elopement wedding but didn’t want to compromise on all the fine details that would go in to a more traditional day. We still wanted to have great food, a wedding cake, professional photographs and a beautiful venue that wearing my dream wedding dress would not look out of place in. We searched and searched for venues that would offer such a package and when coming across Ever After online it literally looked too good to be true. We loved the decor and luxury it seemed to offer and were just blown away by the truly magical setting. I went to visit the setting and it was more spectacular than photos even show. Nicola and the team were amazing at making sure we had everything we wanted without us having to do a thing and leading up to the wedding all we did was share a few ideas on Pinterest for decor and the cake and flowers and the team created everything to meet and even surpass our vision. Nicola was always there to reassure and answer questions leading up to the day but we were truly able to leave everything to them and relax and then just turn up and enjoy the day.

The day was just so special, getting married in the glorious garden with a roaring fire in the background was magical. And to top it all off the honeymoon cottage was so classy and every little detail had been thought of to make it an amazing stay. Our wedding will truly be a day we will cherish forever and thanks to the beautiful photos we had that come as part of the package, we will have a beautiful record of everything. We cannot thank Nicola, Harrie, Clare and Amanda enough for making it possible. Anyone choosing to have their wedding at Ever After will not be disappointed. My biggest bit of advice would be to sit back, relax and let them take care of all it.

It was truly the most fabulous day…. everything we dreamed of. Thank you to you and especially Sally who was so helpful and supportive.

Everything was just perfect….Amanda’s flowers (they lasted two weeks!!), Jodie & Jess made me feel like a princess and Harrie’s menu was superb.

Mainly though I want to say that you are an incredible lady, who made the whole process seamlessly smooth, and relaxed. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, but sitting in the cottage that day with you, everything just fell into place.

Again many, many thanks.

Nicola helped create a day of dreams and memories and I feel privileged to have worked with so many great people to make the day perfect. Finding a moment to say was my favourite is very hard. Of course the “I do” is one of the most precious but from the photos and video I could see we were smiling and genuinely happy throughout. The whole day was one wonderful moment. In a selfish way I am personally glad we eloped, the day was ours with no constraints or people to please, the moments were all ours and we can now share with others through our video and photos of the day. We created the perfect day with the help of Nicola, Amanda, Clare, Chris and Caroline, Jessica, Chloe and Harriet.

Nicola, Steven, Flora and team

Thank you all for everything you have done for our wedding.  Our day was even more magical than we ever could have imagined it would be.

With much appreciation.

Beth & James

Thank you!

Without you none of this would have been possible.

I can’t put into words how amazing you’ve been through everything.

Lots of love

Amber

Dear Nicola and team

We just wanted to write a note to say a huge thank you to you all for the amazing wedding you gave us.

We can’t express just how thankful we are that we finally got married at your beautiful venue with our family and closest friends.  Everything was perfect and all of you so attentive.

Thank you for your support and hard work throughout constant date changes, you made it much less stressful!

Wishing you all the best for your busy year ahead.

Love

Jodi & James

Nicola and the whole Ever After team

We just wanted to thank you again for making our day so special.  Despite everything that has happened this year we will always have this magical moment to look back on.  Every little detail was just as we imagined it.

Thank you for creating such a wonderful opportunity for couples to escape, be intimate but still feel as special.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Jess & John
