Fairytale weddings at Broomhill

Shrek wedding hits the headlines!

We were delighted that Film fans Christine England and Keith Green chose to celebrate their wedding at Broomhill. As an art hotel and sculpture park we attract many creative people and often receive unusual requests for events, but none as unusual as this. The happy couple gave the “fairy tale wedding” idea a new twist when they made their vows dressed as two green cartoon monsters from the hit American comedy film Shrek. The 100-plus guests who attended the ceremony at Broomhill were asked to dress like characters from TV or film, the eclectic guest list included Snow White, Noddy, Nora Batty, Robin Hood and Maid Marion, making it a very memorable occasion!

The wedding caught the attention of national press, featuring in The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Sun, The Mirror and many other publications! Keith and Christine walked down the aisle to REM’s Shiny Happy People, walked out to a song from children’s film Toy Story and even enjoyed “witty poems” in place of traditional readings. Broomhill has seen some fantastic weddings and occasions but this one was very special, a day that put a smile on everyone’s face, we wish the happy couple all the best in the future.

We are definitely not your usual venue, Broomhill is unlike any other place, with monumental sculpture, a contemporary art gallery, sculpture park and award-winning restaurant, all set in a glorious woodland valley near to North Devon’s world-class coastline! Broomhill lends itself to different styles, particularly the unique, the venue fitted the couples brief as it sits in a secluded valley, providing beautiful surroundings for the wedding photos and an intimate, peaceful atmosphere. We listen to what our wedding couples want and try our bestto deliver it. Dreams can become reality at Broomhill!
