Destination Weddings

When you think of a destination wedding, what pops in your mind?  The Caribbean with its sandy white beaches, Italy with olive groves and stunning views or a Greek island with its white-washed hillside villages?

Let’s consider a little closer to home but still called a “destination wedding” (unless you live there).

It may come as a surprise, but South Devon is one of the UK’s most highly sought-after wedding hot spots.  With its cool coastal classiness, unique characterful venues and beautiful countryside views, these exclusive wedding venues in South Devon offer a breath of fresh air for couples seeking to tie the knot somewhere truly special.

Perhaps you want to arrive at your wedding venue by boat, make marks in the sand or get those wellies dirty for a rustic wedding celebration.  Whether it’s all frills and formal or laid back and natural, South Devon has a wide range of wedding venues to suit all  tastes and budgets.  From luxury properties to ballrooms and barns, you could even get married on a working farm, cows n’ all.
