Coastal vows, sea air, questionable dancing, and a Devon weekend with room to wander.
We're bringing together our favourite people for a long weekend on the beautiful North Devon coast.
Think sea air, good food, great music, questionable dancing, lazy mornings and a few coastal adventures along the way.
Whether you're joining us for the whole weekend or just the big day, we're so glad you'll be part of it. Come for the celebrations, stay for the company, and enjoy the weekend your way.
The weekend pressing
Schedule
Track 01
Friday 13 August
Suitcases & Spritzes 🍹
Arrive anytime from 3pm onwards on Friday and join us poolside. Unpack your bags,
grab a drink, take a dip and settle into the slower pace of the North Devon coast. 🍹
Old friends, new faces, good conversation and a chance to properly unwind before
the big day. If you're hungry, you can order a stone-baked pizza from the Pizza Stove,
then settle in for an easy afternoon and evening together. There'll be poolside DJ
sets from family and friends to warm us up for a weekend of great music.
Track 02
Saturday 14 August
DO I?! 💍
Ceremony at 12pm
The main event! Ceremony, confetti, dinner, speeches, questionable dance moves,
a few happy tears, plenty of laughter, and dancing, dancing... more dancing. One
big celebration with all our favourite people.
We've got a great line-up of DJs playing throughout the evening, including a special set from the groom.
Just joining us for the evening?
Come along from 5pm for drinks, good company and plenty of dancing later on! You're welcome to camp on-site and enjoy Sunday with us too. Head over to our Accommodation section for more details.
Track 03
Sunday 15 August
Sore Heads & Sea Air 🌊
If you're sticking around on Sunday, the day is ours to enjoy together. Think of
it as a relaxed wedding after-party, with the pool and bar open, food to share,
games to play and the beach right on our doorstep.
Do as much or as little as you like. Take a dip, head to the beach, brave a kayak
or paddleboard, or simply settle in for a drink and a chat. No formal plans, just
more time with our favourite people and plenty of stories from the day before.
Track 04
Monday 16 August
Until Next Time 🥲
For those gracing us with their presence throughout the whole weekend, Monday will be a
gentle ending, with time for one last coffee, a final look out to sea and a few
proper goodbyes before everyone begins the journey home.
We already know how much it will mean to have our favourite people sharing this
little corner of Devon, and we are incredibly grateful that you're making the
journey to celebrate with us.
Our story
Coming Soon
We're still putting this bit together. For now, here are a few photos of us. The full story will follow.
Getting there
Travel
By car
Watermouth Cove is tucked away on the beautiful North Devon coast, between Ilfracombe and Combe Martin.
Address
Watermouth Cove
Watermouth, Berrynarbor
Ilfracombe, North Devon
EX34 9SJ
Parking is available on-site, including spaces near the accommodation. Just pop the postcode into your sat nav and follow the signs.
Barnstaple is the nearest railway station, with connections via Exeter St Davids.
From Barnstaple, you can take a taxi towards Watermouth Cove, arrange a lift share with other guests, or catch the Stagecoach 301 bus towards Ilfracombe and Combe Martin.
The bus stops near Watermouth Castle, although you'll need to check the onward walking route to the wedding venue.
We'd recommend arranging taxis or lift shares in advance, particularly if you're travelling with luggage.
Flying in for the celebrations? Exeter and Bristol are the two airports we'd suggest looking at.
From either airport, hiring a car is likely to be the easiest option. Alternatively, you can use public transport towards Exeter and Barnstaple, then arrange the final leg by taxi or lift share.

Accommodation
On-site Accommodation
Watermouth Cove offers a range of accommodation right on our doorstep, including cosy lodges, cabins and cottages. Spaces are limited, so we'll be sharing more details about availability and arrangements closer to the big weekend.
Glamping with Native Bell Tents
Fancy camping with a few extra comforts? Native Bell Tents will be offering furnished bell tents on-site for the wedding weekend.
Choose from a 4m tent sleeping up to three people or a 5m tent sleeping up to four, available for either two or three nights. The booking sheet includes prices, what's provided and how to reserve your tent.
Fancy sleeping under the stars? You're welcome to bring your own tent and make a weekend of it!
The on-site camping area has electric hook-ups available at no extra cost, plus proper washrooms, hot showers, toilets and plug sockets for hairdryers and straighteners. So you can embrace the great outdoors without completely roughing it!
Bell tents are subject to availability and booked directly with Native Bell Tents. Specific accommodation allocations and free camping arrangements are still to be confirmed.
Staying Nearby
Fancy doing your own thing? Absolutely! North Devon is full of lovely places to stay, from cosy countryside cottages and little coastal B&Bs to seaside hotels, lodges and glamping spots.
For somewhere close to the celebrations, we'd recommend starting with Watermouth, Berrynarbor and Combe Martin. Pretty villages, coastal views, country pubs and easy access to the venue.
If you're making a little holiday of it, Croyde and Woolacombe are well worth a look too, with beautiful beaches, surf spots, independent cafes and plenty of places to explore. They're a little further away, so just bear the journey to and from the wedding in mind.
Ilfracombe also offers a wider choice of accommodation, with its harbour, restaurants and local amenities.
We've included a few handy links to help you find somewhere that suits you.
August is a popular time to visit North Devon, so we'd recommend booking sooner rather than later!
Lift Shares & Getting Around
If you're travelling without a car, don't worry! Closer to the big weekend, we'll do our best to help connect guests travelling from similar directions.
For those staying off-site, we'd recommend arranging taxis in advance, particularly for the journey home after the celebrations.
North Devon is wonderfully tucked away, but taxis can be a little harder to come by during busy summer weekends!
Cabinet of coastal curiosities
Making a Longer Trip of It?
If you're planning to stay a little longer and explore more of North Devon, there's plenty beyond Watermouth Cove.
Explore the sweeping beaches around Croyde and Woolacombe, the wild landscapes of Exmoor, woodland walks around the River Barle, or simply discover a good country pub somewhere along the way.
And, of course, there's absolutely no expectation to do anything at all. A lounger and a bit of sea air are equally great options.
A Little Local Exploring
Fancy getting out and about? There's plenty to discover around Watermouth Cove, from hidden beaches and dramatic coastal walks to some wonderfully eccentric local attractions.
Whether you're here for the weekend or making a longer trip of it, here are a few places worth a look.
Verity keeping watch over Ilfracombe.
01
On the doorstep
Watermouth Castle
A wonderfully eccentric seaside castle full of vintage amusements, curious contraptions and a healthy dose of British surrealism.
Cliff-top trails, hidden coves and spectacular views. Take a gentle stroll or tackle something more adventurous, like the Great Hangman walk from Combe Martin.
A characterful harbour town with independent shops, pubs, seafood and Damien Hirst's enormous, slightly bizarre Verity sculpture keeping watch over the water.
Having all our favourite people together to celebrate means the world to us. We know
that making the journey to North Devon involves time, planning and expense, and we
genuinely appreciate the effort everyone is making to be there.
Please don't feel any obligation to bring a gift. Sharing the weekend with you is more
than enough.
If you'd still like to give us something, a small contribution towards our honeymoon
and future adventures together would be very gratefully received, but absolutely not
expected.
