Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Libby Johns
Hi, Congratulations on your engagement - you must be so excited to start planning your wedding! If a chilled, outdoorsy, rustic wedding is the vibe you're after, we'd love to meet up and show you our venue. Our wedding barn is in agricultural use during the winter months so you'll need wellies and imagination if you visit us then - you might even see a lamb being born! Happy wedding venue-hunting. Libby and Pete x

Best venue & wedding ever!* (*not just our opinion - the guests’ too!)

We stumbled upon Dunwell Farm as a wedding venue and were smitten. Dunwell is like a blank canvas, and had everything we wanted for our wedding day idea, and Libby and Pete couldn’t have been more helpful. We wanted a relaxed, festival style wedding - Dunwell provided the backdrop for this perfectly. Gorgeous grounds, including camping. All our guests have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and are still talking about it and Dunwell a year later - if we could afford it think they’d like it to be an annual event! Most of our guests’ social media profile pics now seem to be from Dunwell! Thank you so much Libby and Pete for all your support, and for offering your home so that people can have their perfect days 💚

Ra Ra Fest

We had the best festival style wedding we could have wished for! Libby was fantastic and communicated every step of the wedding with us and was there on the day to ensure the best day ever. We also used the campsite for the weekend for a total festival feel with all our friend and family. Dunwell Farm is definitely highly recommended by us and our guests.

The Best of Devon

I’ve been lucky enough to visit Dunwell Farm on more than one occasion (I get very excited when an invite says Dunwell) each wedding has been different and truly special in their own way. The Barn has been transformed each time, different colour themes, flowers, beautiful dangly things from the beams, each table layout different enabling each couple to really make this venue their own. The Marquee spot is just breathtaking. Stunning views over the iconic Dartmoor, even on rainy days this has been a picturesque talking point. The best of it all…. You can stay in the beautiful bell tents and wake up the next morning with all your friends and family and reminisce and laugh about the day before. The loo and kitchen facilities are top notch too! The team at Dunwell Farm are nothing less than perfect. Anything you need from finding the loos to needing last minute pins to alter dresses. You name it we’ve asked for it and they’ve always had it! Being run on a family farm means the team really feels like a family. Would highly recommend for a wedding or even party venue!

Super relaxed wedding, exactly what we were after

The venue’s rules around corkage etc were relaxed which is exactly what we wanted. Libby & her husband Pete were super helpful and helped make our day exactly what we wanted it to be, stress free & super fun! Couldn’t recommend enough 😊

Amazing Venue, Stunning views

It was a superb venue for a wedding reception. My first ever wedding breakfast sitting on a hay bale. It was a rustic barn made beautiful with bunting and fairy lights. If you love nature and the outdoors, this venue is ideal. Stunning countryside views. What’s not to like! The most unique wedding that I’ve been to.

Exceptional Venue with Beautiful Views

Would certainly recommend Dunwell if you are looking for somewhere with a relaxed country feel with stunning views. Libby and Pete offered plenty of help in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself to make everything went smoothly. The field with marquee was the perfect set up for a drinks reception and the barn was an ideal blank canvas to create our own party atmosphere in the evening! There is also a lovely campsite with toilet and shower block which made the wedding feel like a proper holiday - a beautiful place to hang out with family and friends!

Perfect wedding venue

Love this place- it offers so much. The perfect peaceful countryside venue with outstanding views of Dartmoor. The Johns’ will go above and beyond to make your day run smoothly- very practical people with an eye for detail. Couldn’t ask for more! We have been back as guests several times and every wedding has been unique and wonderful!

The perfect Devon Day

As a wedding photographer, Dunwell Farm will always be my favourite Devon wedding venue. With stunning Devon views, the beautiful barn, the top marque, the well kept garden and even a campsite for guests, it really has everything and more. I always feel spoilt for choice for photo locations for my couples. It's humble, gloriously green and Pete and Libby always work so hard to ensure couples have the best day. Dunwell Farm is a Devon wedding dream.

Wonderful team and venue

My wife and I were guests at a wedding at Dunwell farm. The venue was wonderful and it generated such a warm and personal atmosphere. What really caught our eye though was how much effort Libby and Peter put in to making this such a personal and wonderful day for the bride and groom. They worked so hard to make the personal touches really count and made the whole day go smoothly for everyone!

Describe the best wedding that happened at Dunwell Farm?

How can we answer that?! They've all been amazing! But maybe the first wedding reception we held in the barn could be my favourite..................as it was our own wedding!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Get the big things booked up, such as venue, registrars, caterers, entertainment and photographers, then fill in the personalised details.

Does Roy the farm dog count?

What’s your favourite canapé?

A massive spread of snacks such as individual packets of crisps, jaffa cakes, party rings etc goes down so well - and if they're not all eaten, we bring them out again in the evening, where they're devoured by late night guests!

Pizza van!

What is Dunwell Farm most unique feature?

That we spend as much time lambing in the barn as we do partying! It's a privilege to be able to diversify the farm in such a fun way over the summer months and we've made some friends for life in couples who've got married with us.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

Our staff. They work their socks off and are friendly, fun and dedicated to the highest standard of customer care. I am immensely proud of them all and am frequently told by guests how their approachable attitude has made the day even more special. Nothing is too much trouble for them and I can't thank them enough.
