Millbrook Estate
Runaway Wedding
The idea for runaway weddings came to us one night in 2011 at our home in Devon, as we realised that big, traditional weddings just weren’t our style. Inspired by our own experience, we launched Millbrook Estate’s very first runaway weddings (also known as elopements) in May 2011. Since then, we’ve been proud to exclusively host these intimate and romantic ceremonies, becoming one of the UK’s first venues to specialise in elopements.
As a small, family-run business, we pour our hearts into making every couple’s dream wedding a reality. With personalised service, thoughtful touches, and the breathtaking beauty of the Devon countryside, we’re here to create stress-free, magical moments. Our dedication to what we do was recently recognised when we were named South West England’s Intimate Wedding Venue of the Year 2024, a true honour for us and our little team.
If you’re dreaming of a romantic wedding ceremony just for you and your partner, our Elopement Packages are designed to be completely stress-free and centred around your unique love story. Celebrate your day in our enchanting Summerhouse at Millbrook Estate, where every season brings its own charm. Imagine a cosy winter wedding by the glow of a roaring log fire or a nearly alfresco celebration with our 5-metre doors wide open to the lush Devon countryside in the warmer months.
Many couples choose to embrace the beauty of the great outdoors, making their wedding ceremony a truly unique and personal experience. At Millbrook Estate, your elopement is all about you—your love, your way.

What Is a Runaway Wedding?
A runaway wedding, also known as an elopement, is an intimate and deeply personal ceremony designed to celebrate the union of two people without the complexities of a traditional wedding. It offers simplicity, freedom, and a chance to fully immerse yourselves in the moment, free from the distractions of extensive guest lists or rigid schedules. Runaway weddings are a cost-effective and stress-free alternative, placing the focus entirely on your love story. Growing in popularity, they reflect a modern shift toward meaningful, authentic celebrations that feel true to the couple. Whether it’s just the two of you or shared with a select few, a runaway wedding is a romantic and unforgettable way to start your journey together.

Legalities of a Runaway Wedding
To legally marry in the UK, you’ll need to give notice at your local registry office at least 29 days before your wedding date. For international couples, we provide guidance on meeting legal requirements and can act as witnesses if needed. We’re here to assist and support you every step of the way, from your initial enquiry to your wedding day, ensuring the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
