A Love Story That Started on the School Run
Claire and Rebecca first met on the school run and soon started enjoying walks together. As their friendship grew, so did their feelings, until one evening Claire decided to take a chance and message Becky to tell her how she felt.
Luckily, Becky felt exactly the same.
Just two months later, they moved in together, and with three children between them, began building their life as a family.
When it came to getting married, they knew they wanted something small and meaningful, without the pressure of a big traditional wedding. With Becky's mum and dad sadly no longer with them, it was particularly important to have people there who meant the most, including Becky's mum's best friends and Claire's dad and stepmum.
Finding Their Perfect Wedding Venue
Claire and Rebecca discovered Tree Top Escape online and immediately fell in love with what they saw.
"Just from seeing the photos online we knew it was our place."
They decided to arrange a visit, which only confirmed their feelings. The beautiful surroundings and peaceful setting were everything they'd hoped for.
Planning their wedding was just as straightforward. With our recommended suppliers on hand, they felt reassured knowing they had a trusted team helping bring everything together.
"We felt at ease the whole time knowing that Tree Tops had their own suppliers and we were not going to be let down."
A Wedding Day Better Than They Imagined
When asked to describe their wedding day, Claire and Rebecca's response said it all.
"WOW WOW WOW!!!"
Despite feeling nervous beforehand, everything came together even better than they'd imagined. From the beautiful treehouse accommodation to the cakes, photography, décor, food and hair and make-up, every detail was just as they'd hoped. As their suppliers began arriving, their nerves disappeared, leaving them free to relax and enjoy every moment.
The couple also included some lovely personal touches, with special memories of Becky's mum and dad, alongside their own carefully chosen signs and confetti.
One of their most treasured moments was exchanging their personal vows, surrounded by the people closest to them. And it wasn't all happy tears — their photography was another highlight, with plenty of fun and laughter while capturing memories of their special day.
The Suppliers Who Made Their Day Special
Claire and Rebecca had a wonderful team of suppliers helping bring everything together:
Mercedes
The North Devon Baker
Chris Catullo

Claire & Rebecca's Advice for Future Couples
We always love hearing what advice our couples would give to others planning their wedding, and Claire and Rebecca had a slightly different answer.
"Don't view. Because there isn't a need to. I wish we had left it but we were still taken away by the venue."
We love this. Many of our couples book Tree Top Escape without visiting beforehand, using our photographs, videos and virtual tours to get a feel for the venue. There's something really special about experiencing that first arrival and seeing everything for yourself. Even though Claire and Rebecca had visited, they were still blown away by the beauty of Tree Top Escape on their wedding day.
