No Hidden Surprises
How Much Does a Quick Wedding Cost?
Getting married quickly doesn't mean cutting corners — it means spending on what matters. Here's a clear breakdown of what you need, and what's entirely up to you.
What You'll Need
The Wedding Package
From £899
Everything you need for your day: exclusive use of the Summerhouse, your accommodation mini-moon stay in one of our 5★ on-site cottages, a dedicated wedding coordinator, access to the grounds for photographs, a bottle of celebratory fizz, and witnesses if needed. View full package details.
The Registrar
Approx. £500–£600
Devon Registration Service fees vary depending on your chosen date and time. We'll provide the booking link and guide you through the timing alongside your notice of marriage — just contact us first before booking.
The Lovely Extras — Entirely Up to You
Everything below is optional. Do as much or as little as you like.
Photography
From £399
Not essential — but we'd really recommend it. Your photos are the one thing you'll have forever, and our trusted photographers offer last-minute packages from £399. See photography packages.
Food & Celebrations
Free to very special
It's completely up to you. Self-cater in your cottage, fire up our BBQ house, or head to one of the wonderful local pubs nearby. Or treat yourselves to a Devon cream tea or grazing board, right up to an intimate private dining experience with your own chef — magical, but not cheap! See dining options.
Little Touches
From a little to a lot
Seasonal flowers, a wedding cake, hair and makeup, a horse and cart arrival — or nothing extra at all. Our trusted local suppliers can work at short notice, but plenty of our couples keep it beautifully simple.
To Put It Simply
A complete wedding at Millbrook typically costs £1,400–£2,200 all-in
That includes the wedding package, registrar fees, photography and a little food. Compare that to the average UK wedding cost of over £20,000. Just a 25% deposit secures your date, with easy payment plans available.
Real Couples, Real Reasons
Why Couples Choose to Get Married Quickly
There's no single reason couples decide to get married quickly — and there doesn't need to be. Here are just a few of the wonderful people we've had the privilege of helping.
✈️ Moving Abroad
One recent couple was relocating to Dubai and needed to be legally married before they left. With just a few weeks to spare, they called us on a Monday — and were married in our Summerhouse just over four weeks later. Simple, beautiful, and exactly what they needed.
❤️ They'd Been Putting It Off
Together for years, engaged for even longer — some couples just need a nudge. One pair had been planning a big wedding for so long that they'd completely lost sight of why they wanted to get married in the first place. They stripped it back, chose each other, and had the most relaxed, joyful day imaginable.
🌿 Avoiding the Fuss
Not everyone wants a big celebration. Many of our couples simply don't want the stress, the expense, or the politics of a large guest list. Getting married quickly and quietly — just the two of them — is exactly what they choose, not a compromise. It's a celebration on their own terms.
🌟 A New Chapter
A new job, a new home, a new beginning — sometimes a life change prompts couples to stop waiting for the "perfect moment" and create it. We've hosted couples celebrating a fresh start who wanted their wedding to feel spontaneous, meaningful, and completely theirs.
💛 For Someone They Love
Some couples choose to get married quickly so that a family member — a parent, a grandparent — can be there. Short-notice weddings are sometimes the most meaningful of all, and we are always honoured to be part of them.
💍 Whatever Your Reason
The truth is, you don't need a reason at all. If you want to get married quickly, that's enough. We've never once asked a couple to justify their decision — and we never will. We're just here to make it happen, beautifully.
