She tells us, “I adore small, intimate ceremonies because there’s something so special about them, a different kind of special to any other kind of wedding ceremony. I love seeing the smiles, and sometimes tears as well as the wonderful locations they have chosen.” She adds, “there are many reasons why a couple would choose an elopement or small wedding, but whatever that reason is, their ceremony and their day is even more about the two of them. I send them a special series of questionnaires so I can get to know them first and understand the best way of writing their ceremony. We’ll then meet so they can give me their thoughts and ideas, and by the time their special day arrives, they’ll feel as though they are in good hands with a wonderful friend.” Book Sara: www.sarapricecelebrant.co.uk/weddingceremonies; www.facebook.com/sarapricecelebrant; www.instagram.com/sarapricecelebrant Tree Top Escape is home to The Nest, an intimate wedding venue perched amongst the trees in the rolling Devonshire hills in High Bickington.

Micro weddings and elopements are the ideal choice to celebrate the start of the rest of your life together.” Sabine adds, “This fuss and stress-free way to say ‘I do’ enables couples to create a personal and magical ceremony in surroundings of their choice. For some couples, it’s important to celebrate their love for themselves first and foremost, before they might celebrate with family and friends.” An elopement is an alternative to the traditional larger ceremony which can set couples back financially and it might not even be what they want for their big day – trying to please family members instead of themselves. Small wedding gatherings between 14 and 20 guests is often referred to as a micro wedding and have become a popular choice for couples. Sabine tells us, “A celebrant-led elopement or micro wedding can take place indoors or outdoors and a celebrant like myself can help with personalised vows and promises.” She adds, “Some couples like to choose symbolic gestures like a ring exchange, hand tying, lighting a unity candle or planting a tree that reflect their personalities and adds a personal touch. This type of ceremony is 100% bespoke but should not be confused with the legally binding civil ceremony which takes place in the registry office.
