We first visited Slapton Manor on a cold and wet February morning, but in spite of this we soon realised it was the venue for us! The farm is beautiful - we used the barn for the ceremony and it was perfect, and the marquee for the evening was stunning, with a beautiful backdrop of open fields and grazing sheep. It provided the exact relaxed and fun vibe we were looking for. There’s also so many great places to sneak away for some quiet moments on the day - and they’re perfect to get some stunning photos!
Initially one of the things that drew us to Slapton was the freedom to decorate the venue as we wanted and the ability to tailor the day to our specific plan. Having access a few days prior to the wedding was a massive advantage for setup, giving us time to get everything right and enjoy the setup time with our closest friends and family. The availability of on-site accommodation, for us and the wedding party, made on the day logistics so much easier, as well as creating an amazing atmosphere for the day (and the whole weekend for that matter!). We loved being able to wake up on site in the morning and have a leisurely start to our wedding.
We also really appreciated the transparency regarding pricing - there were no hidden costs or last-minute surprises, which was a huge relief as we’d heard a number of horror stories from friends at other venues. They even had a number of wedding props we could use at no extra cost - something we didn’t encounter at any other venue we viewed where there seemed to be an additional charge for everything!
While we were initially a little concerned about planning a "blank canvas" wedding in just six months, Sam made the entire process remarkably easy. She was incredibly helpful, always responding quickly to our queries and offered honest advice on what had worked well at the venue in the past. We had a bit of a non-traditional order to our day, which Sam was key in helping us to plan and get right.
Sam was truly integral in making our whole wedding experience a fantastic one, from planning to the day itself, and we cannot thank her enough for this. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she worked tirelessly to help ensure our perfect day. Everything ran so smoothly on the day itself, and the entire team was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We felt completely at ease knowing Sam had everything under control, allowing us to simply enjoy our day. We cannot speak highly enough of Sam and the Team - you will be in safe hands at Slapton Manor!
