Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - July/August 2024 (Issue 50)

HAWKE BARN WEDDING & SPECIAL CELEBRATIONS VENUE, TIVERTON This historic venue offers a rustic-inspired threshing barn set in the secluded Devonshire countryside, with multiple stunning outdoor ceremony locations. From pagan-style hand-fasting ceremonies in the ancient woods or beside the romantic lakeside pagoda to a champagne and jazz drinks reception enjoyed on the top lawn with sweeping views, there’s something to suit every couple. The traditional Devonshire Smithy provides another option, and the inhouse wedding coordinator works with each couple to help them achieve their dream day. Hawke Barn provides a relaxed, country atmosphere that is perfect for nature and animal lovers alike and welcomes fourlegged friends! There are even stabling facilities for a horse as a wedding guest and the resident tame sheep lovingly named Teddy and Gerald love having their photograph taken! Hawke Barn accommodates 60 guests during the day plus 40 evening guests (approximately 100 total guests). Whether couples are searching for a low-key elopement (priced from just £1,750) or looking to party with friends and family (priced from £3,750), there are plenty of options. Hawke Barn provides on-site accommodation for up to 20 guests in the two beautifully restored 17th-century barn conversions, Hayloft and Farm Office. Both cottages offer fabulous views and private courtyards with hot tubs as well as the west wing of the farmhouse. Additional guests are welcome to camp or stay in one of the bell tents that make wonderful photographic backdrops! https://hawkebarnvenue.co.uk NORTH, WEST AND EAST DEVON Spotlight on...
