BOHEMIAN VENUE & CEREMONY SPACES
We are excited to host your Elopement at Earthway Retreat, where you can choose from one of our three ceremony spaces
​
Wild Flower Meadow
Under the pergola, surrounded by wild flowers with incredible views over the surrounding forest. Dressed with swaths of fabric and flowers, this amazing spot is reached via a candlelit path through the flowers and is perfect for a true boho-style ceremony.
​
Enchanted Grove
A secret paths leads you into a circle, or grove, of trees. In ancient times, Sacred Groves were places of sanctuary and worship. Like a temple or chapel set within the natural world, these tranquil clearings were places of spiritual refuge: places to calm the mind, refresh the spirit, meditate and hold ceremonies. If you're seeking something a bit more spiritual and connected to the land, our Sacred Grove is the perfect setting for your Elopement Wedding or Vow Renewal
​
The Barn
An ancient Open-Fronted barn provides a true rustic and bohemian feel to any ceremony and allows for shelter from the elements should they prove to be challenging! Keep it simple with fairy lights and candles, or dress it up with seasonal flowers and foliage; however you want it, the barn is a wonderful space to honour your commitment to each other
The Cabin
An old workshop, The Cabin provides the perfect place to get ready for your whimsical Elopement Wedding. This beautiful space has been lovingly restored and handcrafted using recycled materials. You'll have use of the dressing room, bathroom and kitchen area for your day. With its quirkiness and rustic charm, many of our couples choose to have their picnic together in the cabin when the weather isn't the best for being outdoors!
​
The Surrounding Area
As well as the magical ceremony spaces on-site, we can also offer you beautiful, fairy-tale Outdoor Ceremony Spaces which offer additional incredible, visually-stunning backdrops to your Elopement Wedding Photos. Earthway Retreat is close to many beautiful locations, including Cliff-Tops, Stone Circles and Ancient Ruins for any Couples' Photographs following your Ceremony.
