No matter whether you go for a fairytale wedding or decide on a more modern approach without the traditional white dress and all the trimmings, your wedding day will always be one of the most memorable days in your life. Whichever type of wedding you decide to have, you will always go for what appeals to you specifically and in your own way, aim to make it as unique as possible. That is why more and more couples now decide on having smaller more exclusive weddings, attended by a few close friends and relatives, in a unique setting.

If you are indeed in the process of planning your wedding and would like it to be in a romantic setting away from the norm, look for venues out of the city such as Dartmoor in Devon. This is a picturesque country setting, which is not too far for your guests to travel. A Dartmoor wedding would mean being surrounded by the rolling Dartmoor hills as you and your partner make your wedding vows in this picturesque country setting. Once you have decided on your location, the next step is to book the Dartmoor hotel. After doing your research online and short listing your preferred options, it is best to set aside a few days to make actual visits to the proposed venues. This way you can experience firsthand the location and judge for yourself, if the €feel' of the place is right. Talk with the staff - most hotels will have a designated person for the role of organizing weddings. Discuss and find out details and work on reaching an option that suits your needs and budget.

Further, find out if the hotel is licensed to hold civil weddings and how large the capacity of the hotel is. Check whether you would need to book the entire hotel for your wedding or if it can accommodate your group without having to do so. Devon is an area that basically enjoys mild weather so chances are that by opting to have a Dartmoor wedding you will be able to have your wedding ceremony outside, in a setting of your choice. Dartmoor itself is such a beautiful country that your guests will be more than grateful for the opportunity to explore its natural beauty after your wedding is over. That way you need not worry about their entertainment and instead enjoy your honeymoon with a clear conscience.
