Clifford Barton Weddings

Deep in the enchanting Devon countryside, Clifford Barton is a uniquely picturesque wedding venue. Overlooking Fingle Woods and the wider Teign Valley, serenaded by a chorus of birdsong, it offers you and your wedding party the perfect escape and exclusive use of the venue and its on-site accomodation for the whole weekend (from Friday to Monday), or for a single day. You have the freedom to tailor your Wedding to truly reflect your personalities and the Clifford Barton team offers unlimited advice and support throughout the planning process and on your special day to help realise the wedding of your dreams. Facilities and Capacity Situated in 50 acres of serene private lake, woodlands, streams and meadows, Clifford Barton is particularly well suited to couples who love nature and the great outdoors, and is exclusively yours for the entirety of your celebrations. Set in a medieval farmstead, the venue boasts a unique blend of ancient charm and modern luxury for you and your guests. Clifford Barton is not only one of the prettiest venues in Devon, but one of the most sustainable, with all accomodation heated from an on site wood chip boiler, using chip sourced from the adjacent Fingle Woods. There is an off-grid wood-fired hot tub with breathtaking views over the valley below, perfect for a pre-wedding bridal party relaxation. The venue is extremely flexible, offering a host of areas and facilities for different activities and games. Whilst highly professional, Clifford Barton is family-run and is ideal for couples seeking a non-corporate, relaxed wedding weekend. Licensed to host civil ceremonies, couples can make their lifelong commitments overlooking the aptly named Bridesmere Lake. With your guests looking on from under the beautiful chapel-esque timber bridge, there can't be many more romantic settings to start married life together. Then perhaps lead a romantic walk around the lake, enjoy lakeside drinks and nibbles, before returning to the magically light and airy stone-walled Rose Barn for your Reception. There is also the option to make your vows in ancient woodland on a platorm between two ancient oak trees. Included in the package is a wonderfully romantic off-grid love-nest cabin, with fantastic views up the Teign gorge, where having left the fesivities behind you can sit out under the stars in front of an open fire and reflect on the day and your future life together. Services Offered We understand that you'll want the freedom to design the wedding of your dreams. At Clifford Barton, whilst we can recommend caterers who we've worked with in the past, you are free to book the caterers and other suppliers of your choice. The Clifford Barton team offers you as much support and advice as you want to plan your weekend, and are present throughout the hire period to provide hands-on support, coordination and anything else you need to realise your dream wedding. Our wedding packages include: Weekend Love Supreme! You and your guests can fully relax into the luxury of spreading your Wedding celebrations over a full weekend, from midday on Friday to Monday morning. In addition to our off-grid Love Nest, we can host up to 22 guests in our three historic cottages, with a further 10 able to stay on-site in our furnished bell tents. The scale and variety of Clifford Barton and its surroundings offers lots of choice of things to bond over and having the whole weekend with your closest friends and family members affords you the time to make the most of bringing them all together. Perhaps a laid back BBQ and hot-tub on friday evening or a stroll up the enchanting river Teign and its various wild swimming spots to the river-side pub for a chilled Sunday lunch. The Day the Rest of Your Life Begins! A one-day celebration, with the same freedom to use all of Clifford Barton's magical spaces but without the late night party or accomodating guests on-site. Host your Ceremony overlooking the stunning Bridesmere Lake; Chill, chat and play lawn games with your guests on the grassed terraces at the centre of Clifford Barton's Medieval courtyard and host your Wedding Feast, First Dance and early evening Celebrations in the historic stone-built Swallow Barn. Three Hours of Love, Laughter and Champagne! If you're after a more intimate, carefully curated wedding, we offer packages from just the two of you to up to 40 guests for a Ceremony and lake-side Reception of up to 3 hours to celebrate your union and enjoy drinks, nibbles and photos together. Included is one nights' accomodation in our off-grid Love Nest and an evening in our chemical-free off grid hot tub.
