Planning an unique and special wedding doesn’t have to take up all your life savings. If hotel weddings are a little out of your price range, you could always rent out a manor house. Manor houses are good option for those who wish to tailor make their wedding.

For those who would prefer a more traditional wedding you could of course arrange to have your ceremony in one of South Devon’s many churches or cathedrals. There are many unique touches you can add to your special day, for instances you could arrange for your guests to be picked up via a vintage double-decker bus, you could organise a theme wedding where everyone in your party has to dress up in a particular style, you could even have your pet dog as the ring bearer, or instead of a cake why not go for tiers of cupcakes or wheels of cheese.

Whether your style is more champagne and strawberries or warm apple cider and sandwiches, tailor make your wedding on the beautiful south Devonshire coastline.
