Sometimes called the English Riviera, Devon attracts visitors from all over with its picturesque harbour towns, rolling hills and open moors, charming thatched cottages, and elegant Georgian towns. Whether you're getting married on the north coast, on the south coast, or in central Devon, there's a lot to love here. Why not treat your wedding guests to one of the famous Devonshire teas? The area's stunning landscapes surround equally stunning wedding venues in Devon and there's a venue for every taste, budget, and style! Many people are drawn to the beautiful south-coast towns like Torquay and Paignton, but don't be afraid to extend your search. You could even look into wedding venues in Cornwall if you want more options.
Devon's Beaches and Botanical Gardens for Your Wedding
The Devon wedding venues you'll encounter in your search will include historic country houses and estates, rustic barns, castles with sprawling grounds, and hotels with splendid views of the sea. You can even get married on a Devon beach, as there are many venues licensed for ceremonies right by the shore. There are also areas where you can pitch up a party tent and dance the night away with the sand between your toes.
How much you want to spend on your Devon wedding venue is up to you. As in most places, there are venues with pie-in-the-sky price tags and much more affordable venues for weddings both large and small. Using the Hitched wedding budget planner you'll be able to establish and track your spending so you have money leftover for the little details that make your day unique.
Why Touring Devon Wedding Venues Is Crucial
There are two reasons you should make touring Devon wedding venues a priority. First, wedding venues can look very different in photographs and you can't be sure you'll truly love a venue without seeing it with your own eyes. Second, each walk-through is an opportunity to ask the venue manager or coordinator questions about how they'll handle your big day.
