We're getting married!
Alice & Adam
The Ceremony
Our big day will be taking place at Higher Eggbeer Farm in Exeter. It’s a beautiful spot, set in the rolling hills of Devon and we’ll have the place to ourselves to enjoy. If it’s nice weather the ceremony will be outdoors, but we also have the Chapel barn as backup.
Time: Exact timings coming soon! But it will be around lunchtime.
Address: Higher Eggbeer Farm, Exeter EX6 6JQ
Reception
After the ceremony, we’ll enjoy some drinks, nibbles and a good natter whilst taking in the lovely views. Then we’ll move into the ‘Party Barn’ for speeches and our wedding feast. We’re planning a hearty hog roast fit for Hobbits with delicious salads, tasty beverages and desserts. Don’t forget to let us know any dietary requirements when you RSVP.
The Party
After dinner, the Party Barn will transform into our dance floor! We’d love for you to join us for a good ol’ boogie but we also have a fantastic bar room great for chatting and catching up. The bar and music will keep going until 1am, so we can really let our hair down!
From 1am, we can continue as long as long as we wish in the smaller games room. Please note, that if you’re not staying with us on site and you need a taxi, be sure to book this in advance.
Thank You!
It means the world to us that you are coming and that we get the chance to celebrate together! We can’t wait to see you at Higher Eggbeer for our special day.
Where is the wedding taking place?
The whole day will take place on site at Higher Eggbeer where everything is close to hand and there are no long distances to walk (though the ground is a little rough and ready in some areas). Weather dependent we would love the ceremony to be held outside, so if the weather is looking hot, please keep this in mind and bring suncream/hats as needed. We have a wet weather backup and can hold the ceremony in the beautiful Chapel Barn if needed.
When should I arrive?
We recommend travelling on the Friday if you are coming from further away to avoid any on the day traffic mishaps as much as possible.
What are the exact timings for the day?
We don’t have exact timings yet, but will aim to update the website as we know more. However the ceremony will likely be around early lunchtime, so please arrive in good time for this.
Where can I stay?
We have some on site accommodation available, please see our Accommodation page. Otherwise there are options in Exeter and the surrounding areas. However we recommend booking as soon as possible to increase the chances of finding somewhere closer to the venue.
Where can I park?
There is unlimited, free, on site parking right next to the venue buildings.
Can I bring my children?
Though we had originally planned an adults only day, we understand that it isn’t possible for everyone, so please feel welcome to bring your children if you need to. For the ceremony, our celebrant will; point out a quiet area on the day in case anyone needs to step out with their child. Just a heads up that the venue isn’t child focused (there is a pool and some safety hazards) and we won’t have kids’ activities or special meals planned, so please keep that in mind if you bring your little ones with you.
Can I bring my dog, cat, baby dragon?
No, we are having an animal free wedding.
What should I wear?
We’ll be dressing up, and we’d love for you to do the same! Wear something that you feel great in. No need for black tie, just smart, celebratory, and in keeping with the specialness of the day.
What food are you serving?
For our wedding feast we’re planning a hearty hog roast fit for Hobbits with delicious salads, tasty beverages and desserts. We’ll update this website with more details as we have the final menu. We’ll be supplying the feast, nibbles and toasting drinks through the day. There will also be a bar open after the ceremony, with a wider range of drinks available for purchase.
What time does it finish?
Part of the beauty of Higher Eggbeer is that we have no curfew! Whilst the bar and Dj will finish at 1am, from that point onwards we can move to the smaller games barn and carry on as long as we’d like!
Post wedding travel, should I book a taxi? *Important!*
If you’re not staying with us on site and you need a taxi, be sure to book this in advance. We’ve been advised by the venue that they typically can’t be spontaneously called on the night. Please check out our Taxis page for local numbers. Higher Eggbeer is a farm on a hill accessed by rambly country lanes and it will be pretty dark and quiet away from the main wedding venue buildings at night.
What about wedding gifts?
We’ve been living together a while now, so already have everything we need. We also really appreciate you making the effort to travel and celebrate with us, so there is no need to give us gifts. However if you really want to give us something, a small contribution towards our honeymoon fund would be greatly appreciated. We will share a link here to our pot nearer the time.
