    Incredible!

    A Dream Wedding Venue – Beyond All Expectations

    We recently had the immense pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Tunnels Beaches, and we truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue. From start to finish, every aspect exceeded our expectations in the most wonderful ways.

    The setting is simply breathtaking. Nestled along the North Devon coastline, the views over the sea are stunning in every direction. Whether you’re saying your vows against the dramatic backdrop of the waves or enjoying sunset drinks with your guests, the natural beauty of the location adds a magical touch to every moment.

    The accommodation was another highlight — stylish, modern, and thoughtfully designed with socialising in mind. It created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere for us and our guests to spend quality time together before and after the big day.

    We’re still getting compliments about the food! Every bite was absolutely delicious — fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. Whether it was the canapés, the main meal, or the evening bites, everything was just perfect.

    Most importantly, the staff were phenomenal. Warm, supportive, and incredibly dedicated, they made the whole experience feel seamless and stress-free. From planning to the last dance, we always felt in the best hands.

    Tunnels Beaches is not just a venue — it’s an experience. If you’re looking for somewhere truly special to celebrate your wedding, this place will take your breath away.

    If you want your guests leaving saying “that was the best wedding I have ever been too”, go and visit!

    Fantastic Autumn Wedding at the Tunnel Beaches

    The venue is fantastic. The staff were incredibly attentive and polite, without being in the way or intrusive. The accommodation was perfect for our group as we could have the entire family under one roof. The first time you walk down the tunnel to the beaches, the view really impresses you, it's incredible. We were very lucky with the weather (having chosen to run the risk of an autumn wedding). The rough seas and moodier sky were the perfect backdrop for our photos.

    The food was excellent. The PA system worked perfectly and really filled the space with the songs Jen had chosen for her aisle walk and while the rest of the family were mixing after the ceremony. At no point did we feel pressured or rushed. I would highly recommend the venue for anyone wanting to get married. The day was perfect and we consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to get married where we did.

    The perfect venue

    The team at Tunnels have been nothing but incredible since the very start of our wedding journey. We always knew Tunnels was the place for us and fell in love with it before we’d even visited. What we didn’t know was how the team would make our special day even more perfect than we could have ever imagined. We are still overwhelmed with the kindness from all of you and the hard work you all showed to ensure we had the best day we could ever wish for. And that it was… absolutely perfect!

    We stayed in The Courtyard and Bath House with our favourite people and it was so lovely being able to go for a tidal pool swim with our guests when we all arrived and then just us on the morning of our wedding day. It was so special. The sun shone for us and the wind only paid us a favour in blowing my veil around beautifully (big thank you to Jacs for anchoring my dress down as I walked through the very windy tunnel!). Marley was amazing at improvising with our schedule (one of many that I kept updating Jamie with across the final months!) making the evening still run seamlessly when it started to rain in the. But we didn’t care in the slightest because the sea as a backdrop is stunning no matter the weather!

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our dreams come true. It was a pure magical day from start to finish and we still can’t quite believe that it was ours.

    Wedding of the year

    Quite literally the best day of not just our lives but all our friends and family. The day was just perfect from the minute we arrived to the minute we left!

    The 2 houses were spotless and anything we needed you guys were on hand to sort it!

    On the day of the wedding ‘Jaques’ (not sure on spelling) was lovely and made us feel at ease making the day run like clockwork. Just everything about the houses & venue is utterly amazing and you guys are smashing it so thank you so much again for hosting the wedding of a lifetime!

    The most magical day!

    Tunnels really is the most magical venue. It was the first and only location we visited and it instantly took our breath away the moment we saw the view we would all be sharing on the day. With huge expectations, luckily for us it wasn't just the view that was spectacular. The organisation was seamless from start to finish and Jamie, Jaqs and the team couldn't have done more for us. Getting married the first weekend of September, the weather could have gone either way, but with back up plans of the same ocean view we had no worries. On the day, it was quite temperamental, however the team were able to ensure an outside wedding right up until 10 minutes before the ceremony.
    As we moved inside for dinner, speeches and a whole lot of dancing with our 120 guests, we appreciated how intimate the venue feels, while not being on top of one another.
    We went for the luxe food package and got rave reviews from our guests, who loved how fresh the food was and the social style bbq.
    We can't thank tunnels enough for the most perfect day and for creating forever memories for us and all our friends and family. Thank you!

    The best venue

    Everything about Tunnels Beaches was perfect, from first contact, to securing the date, the lead up & the day itself was a walk in the park and nothing ever felt too much for the team at Tunnels. The venue is unparalleled, it was simply perfect & every single guest was left speechless. The food was simply sensational & we also opted for the paella the evening before & we were so glad we did! Our day was everything we imagined & more. Thank you so much Jamie & the team

    Best wedding day

    Our wedding was absolutely fantastic and definitely made so by how fantastic Tunnels was. Not only does Tunnels give you the insane views and scenery, but they made the entire wedding planning process so easy and the day so seamless. The staff were absolutely incredible ensuring that every little detail was perfect.

    We stayed in bath house and the courtyard and the night before the wedding was perfect being able to get our family and friends together.

    The food was also incredible, the gourmet bbq was great and all of our guests are still raving about how amazing the nachos were.

    This was the first and only venue we went to see as we was just so in love with it we couldn’t picture getting married anywhere else and it really lived up to all expectations.

    To all the team at Tunnels Beaches thank you so much for giving us the perfect day!

    So so special

    We knew we’d found somewhere special when we stumbled across tunnels but we didn’t quite realise how special it really was. Our whole wedding experience was quite simply flawless. Jamie and the team were so responsive in the lead up to the big day- allowing us to pop in and see the venue for a second visit after we booked, replying super speedily to the stream of questions we had and on the day- going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Could not recommend this venue enough - we’re just sad we don’t get to do it again!

    Our dream wedding

    Tunnels Beaches - wow. We got married here in July 2024 and we were blown away, as were all of our guests. People are still talking about the wedding now. The staff at Tunnels completely made the day for us, with their willingness to go over and above to ensure everything ran perfectly on the day. Our guests were not only blown away by the picturesque views, but the exceptional food served and the overall relaxed atmosphere of the venue in general. We will be talking about our big day for a long long time.

    BEST Wedding Venue!

    We got married at Tunnels Beaches on the 4th April 2024. From the moment we came across Tunnels Beaches online when looking for a wedding venue, we absolutely loved it. After going to view it, we knew it was definitely the one. The venue and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful. It really doesn't compare to any other venue.

    During the planning process in the lead up to our wedding, Jamie and his team were fantastic. We had a lot of questions and a few last minute changes that did not seem to phase Jamie at all. He made the whole process so easy for us!

    We booked The Courtyard and The Bath House to stay in and we couldn't be happier that we did. They are connected which was perfect for all our family and friends. We had a paella night the night before our wedding where the chef from the venue came to the houses to cook a delicious paella. Everyone loved it.

    On the day of our wedding, everything ran so smoothly. We genuinely cannot fault the team at Tunnels Beaches and we are beyond grateful for how hard they all worked to make our wedding day so special. Typically, it started raining the moment I walked down the aisle, but the tunnels team were quickly on hand with umbrellas for our guests. Sean and I said to each other after the day that we didn't notice the staff at tunnels hand out umbrellas, take away the ceremony chairs, move the tables to set up the dance floor etc as everything was done so smoothly and completely without any stress or disruption to us. We couldn't have asked for the day to run any better! The staff also packed up any belongings we had left at the venue for us to collect the next day.

    Thank you so much to the whole team of staff that work at Tunnels Beaches. We honestly cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day so perfect. We definitely hope to visit the venue again some time!

    Sean & Becky Byrne xx
