A wedding is the most important day for a bride as it is her day and therefore getting the ideal wedding venue is essential as the venue will reflect how the wedding is to look and feel. If you want a grand wedding with a plethora of guests, the obvious choices for a venue would be a grand hotel, castles etc. out in the countryside and that it is an occasion to remember as much for the ceremony as it is the surroundings.
For those that wish their wedding to be a more intimate affair with just close friend and family present and the mood is based on the happiness of the bride and groom then a smaller venue might be the better choice.
For those who are thinking about wedding locations and venues, definitely take into consideration the stunning, breath-taking scenery, views and uniqueness that is and surrounds Devon. Devon boasts a warm atmosphere and is full of a rich history and with such a range of venues possible what better county to explore to find your own?
Devon provides you with a whole range of wedding venues: from the upmarket Castles and Cathedrals in Exeter to a vast number of different styles of Country Houses throughout the county to the small intimate locations and also not forgetting the English Riviera itself for a whole range of different wedding venues. This exhaustive range of different options means that there is a venue for every type and style of wedding. It definitely is worthwhile spending time going round a range of different hotels and venues before choosing on your ideal venue. Having your wedding day in Devon, guarantees a wedding day to remember, and as far as the location and backdrop goes, you are spoiled for choice here in the South West.
As mentioned earlier, the first as most important thing to remember when selecting a wedding venues is keeping in mind; €What a bride wants’. Based on this interpretation, it is easy to work out the location, venue and season. With that in mind, it is important to draw up a shortlist of potential/ ideal wedding venues.

Before you even start looking at wedding venues in Devon (as there are possibly more than a thousand suitable for weddings in Devon and therefore too many to visit.)
