Millbrook Estate

Micro Wedding Packages

Some couples can't imagine getting married without a few people there. Not a big wedding — just the people who really matter. A parent. A sibling. A best friend. Someone who needs to be in the room when it happens.

That's what a micro wedding at Millbrook is for. You keep everything intimate and low-key — the private 32-acre estate, the licensed Summerhouse, the dedicated coordinator — and you bring up to 4 guests to share it with you. Everyone can stay on the estate, dine together in the Summerhouse after, and enjoy the Devon countryside without any of the pressure of a big wedding.

Dogs are welcome too. We warmly welcome same-sex weddings and all couples. One wedding a day — the estate is yours.

Your Ceremony Space – The Summerhouse

The Summerhouse is our licensed ceremony space, and it seats up to 6 people comfortably — the two of you plus your four guests. In winter it's warm and cosy with a roaring log fire. In spring and summer the 5-metre doors open fully, bringing the gardens right into the room. Many couples choose to say their vows with the rolling Devon countryside as the backdrop.

The Summerhouse is exclusively yours until 4pm. After the ceremony, you and your guests can stay on, toast with fizz, take photographs in the grounds, and arrange private dining right there in the room where you married.

Private dining and afternoon tea for micro wedding guests at Millbrook Estate

Food and Dining for Your Group

One of the nicest parts of a micro wedding is being able to sit and eat together after the ceremony — no rushing to a restaurant, no splitting up. The Summerhouse is yours until 4pm, so we can arrange dining right there.

❤️ Afternoon tea or cream tea — a relaxed and classic way to celebrate with guests after the ceremony.
❤️ Sharing boards and grazing tables — informal and sociable, great for a relaxed afternoon.
❤️ Canapés — if you want something a little more drinks-party in style.
❤️ Private dining — a more formal sit-down meal for up to 6 in the Summerhouse.

Prefer to head out? There are several award-winning local restaurants a short drive from the estate. We're happy to recommend and help with bookings.

🐾 Dogs Are Welcome

Millbrook is proudly dog-friendly. Two of our properties welcome dogs, your dog can be part of the ceremony, and guests' dogs are welcome on the estate too. Plenty of space to run, plenty of North Devon countryside to explore.

Accommodation for Your Guests

One of the things couples love most about a micro wedding at Millbrook is that everyone can stay on the estate. No one has to drive home after the celebration. You can all be together for the whole weekend.

What's the difference between a micro wedding and an elopement at Millbrook?

An elopement is just the two of you — completely private, with us as witnesses if needed. A micro wedding is for couples who want to share the day with a few people who really matter. Same venue, same estate, same experience — you just have company. Everything else stays intimate and low-key.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. A 25% deposit holds your date, with easy online instalments for the remainder. Final balances are due 8 weeks before your wedding day.

Need to book quickly?

We can often arrange a micro wedding within 35 days of your first enquiry. Give us a call to check availability.
