............"We had a fantastic time in Devon and our wedding at the Tunnels Beaches was just perfect. We were so lucky with the weather.
............It was a like a dream come true.

............All our family and friends could not believe how beautiful the venue was. So many of them commented how they'd never been to
............a wedding quite like this before and I don't think they'll ever forget it either! We certainly won't.

............They were totally amazed as they walked down the tunnels and then turned the corner to experience the breath-taking scenery.

............It was wonderful to have our first dance outside overlooking the bay too - something I'll never forget. All the children enjoyed such
............a special time playing on the beach after the ceremony with their cousins and grandparents.

............It was a very personal and informal day - just what we wanted. Thank you to all your staff who helped us with all our preparations
............and for making the day so special. Thanks again to you Jamie for all your help."

............Our PERFECT and FAB day...

............"The Moore family would like to thank Jamie and all the staff for all the hard work that was put into making our day a dream.

............We first visited Tunnels Beaches on a wet winter day and knew from that point that it was the ideal location for our chilled out
............wedding. From the garden setting and views out to sea, to the restaurant with entertainment for the children.

 ...........We were blessed with the sun on our wedding day and everything went without a hitch for our 5pm ceremony. Our thanks also
............go to Barnstaple registrar team especially Janet Tucker for their part in our marriage ceremony.

............We used a bubble machine that was great fun for the children and we personalised the music by using our ipod. The BBQ food
............was fab and excellently cooked, accompanied by salad. 

............We had Chinese Lanterns later in the night and were able to take some fab photos with the sunset as a great backdrop."

............"We would like to say an absolutely massive thank you to everyone and anyone who had involvement with our wedding day! 
............Thanks to everyone we had the most amazing day that will be remembered forever - what every girl dreams of!

............We have had so much feedback from all of our guests who cannot believe what an incredible location we had chosen and how
............surprised they were when they walked through the tunnel to see such an amazing view. Many have also said that you could have
............mistaken it for a location abroad and I totally agree! Walking down through the tunnel with my song playing and then seeing my
............friends and family sitting in the sun with the amazing view behind them is totally indescribable. So many people have said that
............they will be recommending the venue to others as I will too!

............I am sad that my wedding day is over and I would do it all over again. Most people say that planning a wedding is stressful but I have
............to say that I had nothing to stress about and this was down to the highly professional yet relaxed nature of the staff at the Tunnels.

............We would like to say a huge thank you specifically to Jamie who clearly worked hard to ensure that we had the day that we had
............planned and hoped for and how accommodating and sincere that he was with us and our guests on the day.

............I would highly recommend the Tunnels Beaches to anyone who was considering holding an event there."
