Intimate Wedding Venue in North Devon: Tree Top Escape

These terms are often used interchangeably, and honestly, at Tree Top Escape we don't mind what you call it!

An elopement traditionally means just the two of you (or a tiny handful of people), a micro wedding usually means up to around 12–16 guests, and an intimate wedding sits somewhere in between.

What they all have in common is a focus on what actually matters — your love, your vows, and a day that feels completely, unapologetically you.

We cater for all of these, from a romantic elopement for two up to 14 guests.

Neither is compulsory! Entirely up to you.

You can elope with just the two of you and your registrar, or bring up to 14 of your closest people. You do not even have to decide right away — you can add guests up to your wedding day.

We're also happy to act as your witnesses if you'd prefer to keep it just the two of you — no need to rope in a colleague or distant cousin.

We offer two distinct options to suit different couples.

Our Day Wedding
A day only package that includes your ceremony and a Devon cream tea — perfect if you want something simple and affordable.

Our Intimate Wedding Package A fully inclusive, multi-day experience with exclusive use of the venue and overnight stays in the luxury Tree House for the wedding couple.

Full details of both are on our wedding packages page.

Ha — absolutely not!

Despite the name, Tree Top Escape is entirely on one level with no stairs anywhere on the venue.

It's one of those happy accidents of the design that makes it genuinely accessible in a way that many venues — grand or otherwise — simply aren't.

We have a full accessibility guide on our website with all the details, but please do get in touch if you have specific requirements.

Completely and wholeheartedly, yes. ⭐

We've celebrated same-sex weddings since the very beginning and believe love is love, full stop.

Tree Top Escape is a place where every couple is equally celebrated — no asterisks, no caveats, no awkward moments.

You can read more on our same-sex wedding venue page.

It's not just possible — it's the whole point. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tree Top Escape is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay. There are no other guests, no other weddings, no strangers wandering past during your ceremony.

The venue sits on a private drive with 15 acres of grounds, so you won't even see a passing car.

For couples who value their privacy — whether you're a public figure, simply a private person, or just want the day to feel completely intimate — there really is nowhere quite like it.

You'd be surprised how many couples choose us for exactly this reason.

A guest list of up to 14 naturally sidesteps a lot of the "who do we invite?" anxiety. And because the venue is exclusively yours, the atmosphere is relaxed and personal — no big room full of distant relatives or work colleagues.

Many of our couples have told us it's the best decision they ever made. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yes, and we're proud of it.

The exclusive-use, private nature of Tree Top Escape means there are no crowds, no unpredictable strangers, and no overwhelming noise. You're in control of the environment throughout.

We're a small, family-run team who take the time to get to know every couple personally — so if you have specific needs or sensitivities, just tell us and we'll do everything we can to make the day feel safe and joyful.

Not just dog friendly — dog enthusiastic. ⭐

Your four-legged family members are genuinely welcome, including during the ceremony, and we welcome two dogs to stay in the Tree House.

Many of our couples wouldn't dream of getting married without their dog by their side, and neither would we ask them to.

You can read more on our dog-friendly wedding venue page.

Absolutely. We welcome babies, toddlers, and children of all ages.

We know that for many couples, having their little ones present — whether as flower girl, ring bearer, or chief confetti thrower — is non-negotiable, and we love it.

The Tree House sleeps up to 4. The second bedroom can be a double or twin, and we can provide a travel cot on request.

We'll let our couples answer that. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

With nearly 300 five-star reviews and the title of Wedding Venue of the Year, we're incredibly proud of the weddings we've been part of.

But we'd also encourage you to have a proper conversation with us — we're a family-run business and we genuinely care about finding the right fit. If Tree Top Escape isn't right for you, we'll tell you honestly.

Luxury at Tree Top Escape means something a bit different to a grand country house hotel. It means a William Holland copper bath, a private hot tub, beautifully designed spaces, stunning private grounds, and most importantly, a completely personal service.

We think luxury should feel warm and human, not stiff and formal. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You can see more of the accommodation on our Tree House page.

Yes! If you're eloping or keeping your wedding very private, we're absolutely delighted to act as your legal witnesses. Just let us know when you enquire.
