Are you planning your wedding in 2025?

Take some of the stress out of wedding planning with these Devon businesses, whether you are looking for the perfect venue, or supplies such as bridal stationery.

The businesses below are eager to help you create your dream wedding, including the Arundell, Dartprint, Horn of Plenty and The Bedford.

Create new traditions at the Arundell

In ancient times, brides wore veils to protect them from demons; the Ancient Egyptians started wearing wedding rings on their fourth finger as they believed a vein ran from there straight to the heart; the ancient Spartans loved a good bachelor party and in the 16th Century, newly married couples would kiss over a stack of buns, which thankfully later turned into a wedding cake!

At the Arundell, we are creating our own wedding traditions, which for many starts with the short walk across the village from St Mary’s Church, Lifton and through the beautiful old stone door on the roadside. Just a few steps up and you are led into our beautiful restaurant with its stunning chandelier and wooden parquet floor. Wrought iron stairs lead out and down to our traditional English country garden. A wonderful and versatile venue, we have a beautiful private lake to provide an incredible background for wedding photos, 21 bedrooms and a two bedroom fishing cottage for accommodation and we can be used for exclusive use or just the main restaurant.

Our Events Manager, Jackie and our Head Chef, Phil will work with you to create your bespoke day and help you start your traditions. www.thearundell.com / 01566 784666.
