Steam Train Weddings!

I had the pleasure at the weekend of going down to Buckfastleigh and taking a trip of the South Devon Railway which runs between Buckfastleigh and Totnes. The journey only takes about half an hour but it is on the most gorgeous steam train with beautiful Art Deco or 1940s carriages and a very cute buffet car.
I was pleased to find out you can hire these trains out for wedding receptions. I could just see you having canapés on the platform after you have married in one of the local churches or venues and then hopping aboard the steam train for a sit down wedding breakfast in art deco splendour!

You can find out more about hiring one of the South Devon Railways trains on their website at http://www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/hire-a-train

Having a look around there are also several other trains you can have a wedding reception on around the country including the Bodmin & Wenford Railway in Cornwall http://www.bodminrailway.co.uk/private-hire ...

And also the Bluebell Railway in Sussex ... which also has a license for you to get married in their Waiting Room at the station! http://www.bluebell-railway.com/weddings-and-charters/

I hope this gives you a little bit of inspiration for your wedding
