We recently held our wedding at this amazing venue and we couldn't have asked for a more. Simon and Nicky held our hands right through from the planning stage, to the big day itself. The venue ican cater to everyone's needs from smaller affairs through to large family weddings such as our own. Stunning views across the moors and Chagford on the doorstep with multiple pubs and hotels close by for guests to stay. We can't recommend weddings at Monks highly enough.We recently held our wedding at this amazing venue and we couldn't have asked for a more.

We had a wonderful time and Nicky and Simon really made us feel at home at Monks. The whole venue is beautiful especially the stunning gardens. The Corn Barn was perfect for our main meal and then ceilidh and the art gallery made a great concert/chill out space. We really enjoyed the flexibility to have our own suppliers and were grateful for their help in recommending some, we were able to craft exactly what we wanted. Having access during the week before and day after let us enjoy relaxed flower arranging and bunting-hanging with our family. The Old Barn cottage was the perfect place to spend our first night as husband and wife, and having our own little place to keep a change of shoes during the day was ideal. Plus, the whole thing was such good value for money!We had a wonderful time and Nicky and Simon really made us feel at home at Monks. The whole venue is beautiful especially the stunning gardens.
