A small but perfect beach wedding venue
With a total capacity of 120, the ceremony space at Arches beach wedding venue is fronted by large doors giving you stunning views across the sea. Imagine getting married here with the incredible Devon seascape as your backdrop. Or why not exchange vows in front of the spectacular flowers wall, which runs down one side of the venue.
At 7m x 10m, plus a small powder room and loo to the side, the Arches ceremony space comfortably accommodates 100 people sitting and 20 standing, but also feels intimate and romantic if there are just a handful of guests.
Paid for parking is available next door. Or you and your guests can park for free in our private car park a short walk away.
How will you celebrate?
After your Arches wedding, why not enjoy a celebratory glass or two in our adjacent private garden or on the balcony overlooking the sea. Then head down to the beach for a fish and chip supper and watch the sun go down. Or hire the village hall, hang some bunting, drink Pimm’s and have a party.
Or maybe order picnic hampers, throw some blankets on the sand and enjoy an afternoon tea with fizz. Or just head to the nearest pub. There are plenty to choose from in Combe Martin and the surrounding areas.
