India & Ash - Higher Eggbeer - Devon

Why did you choose Yeti?

India was browsing photos of the venue on instagram and every photo we really liked was by Vince! We knew we had made the right choice when everyone we spoke to (Kelly/ Alistair/ Rhys) raved about you guys. It was actually a conversation with Rhys Davies that pushed us to get a video, you guys did their wedding video and they love it so much.

You guys…what do you do?…how do you spend your days?

Ash is a project manager for Lloyds banking group and India is a researcher in Palliative Care. Both still working from home due to the pandemic. We like food, live music and art. We also really like to travel, we've visited 10 countries together so far, before Covid ruined any further plans! We are hoping to make up for it with or honeymoon that we plan to book a week before we go. Who knows where we will end up! We feel like it is important to just live your best life as anything can change in a moment.

The proposal. Tell me everything. (All the gushy details!)

We went on a walk to the Daymark in Brixham, just the two of us. The actual spot Ash wanted to propose in was closed due to members of the public trampling the plants and India really needed a wee (typical!) so had to pivot and do it on the side of a cliff overlooking the sea (the proposal, not the wee). We were already having family over in the evening for a BBQ so it was a perfect opportunity to tell and celebrate with them. Ash proposed with India's dad's mum's ring (she died when India's dad was 10, and then her grandpa died last November so it was all very sentimental) and then she got to choose her own engagement ring. Ash was too worried about getting it wrong!

Higher Eggbeer Farm…..Why this place above any where else?

We liked it because it is in the middle of no where with no real time restrictions. And Alistar (the owner) made us feel assured that he is really hands on on the wedding day which really put our mind to rest as we have no clue what we are doing! We also wanted somewhere we could stay with family and friends over the weekend given the past 18 months have been somewhat limited on the seeing/ hanging out with family front.

What experience do you want to give your guests?

A relaxed vibe and a chance to catch up with people you haven't seen in ages due to the pandemic. We just want everyone to have fun (and not organised fun!).
