Elegant Devon Wedding Venue - Hotel Endsleigh

I've lived in Devon for 3 years now ( wow time flies! ) and over that time I've had the pleasure of coming across some really gorgeous wedding venues. The scenery down here is so beautiful that the venues often have really spectacular views as well as great wedding facilities.

One such venue - which I came across when one of my first Devon couples got married there last year - is the stunning Hotel Endsleigh.

Some of you may have heard or come across it before as it is the hotel owned and run by Olga Polizzi ( mother of Alex Polizzi of Hotel Inspector fame ).

It is a grade I historic house set in the most beautiful woodlands and just off the edge of Dartmoor, near the gorgeous market town of Tavistock.

It has 17 gorgeous bedrooms and is decorated in absolutely impeccable taste - combining a very traditional classic look with a fresh modern style. It really combines a traditional English feel but with the elegance of a Italian Hideaway!

They can accommodate weddings of all sizes from an intimate wedding for two to a large wedding for a 150 with a marquee on the lawn and all weddings are bespoke and tailored to suit you.

A fantastic advantage is that all of their ground floor rooms and some of the areas of the garden, including a 'shell grotto', are licensed for civil ceremonies - making it incredibly flexible.

I hope you agree with me that it is a truly stunning venue!

Gorgeous New Country House Wedding Venue In Devon

On Sunday I had the great pleasure of visiting a stunning new wedding venue in Devon.
Bridwell Park, a beautiful Georgian House and home to the Mountbatten family is now available to hire as an exclusive wedding venue and I was blown away by the gorgeous setting amongst its own deer park. I took along my camera and took a few photos of the day plus am sharing some of the Bridwell's own photos of the venue as well.

On Sunday Bridwell hosted a wedding showcase with some other fantastic suppliers from around the South West area organised by the lovely Blue Fizz Events www.bluefizzevents.co.uk who had a lovely marquee set up on the lawn and further suppliers in the spectacularly pretty Orangery which is a perfect area for wedding receptions and looked amazing with a ceiling strewn in twinkly fairy lights. I can really imagine this area and the almost hidden lawn in front making a very atmospheric magical wedding reception.

 

I had the pleasure of being shown around the gorgeous house which, unexpectedly ... I'm not a big fan of overly grand imposing houses ..., had a gorgeous cosy and intimate feel with lots of beautiful period rooms which could be put to various uses over the course of your wedding weekend.
In fact they have gone as far as licensing every part of Bridwell for marriage ceremonies giving an amazing degree of flexibility!
There is a gorgeous chapel within the grounds which is the obvious place for a ceremony - and this was dressed with absolutely beautiful country flowers on Sunday.

However there are also light spacious Georgian rooms within the house which would also be perfect and the sunny yellow entrance hall and the incredibly cosy library room which would both be amazing for a intimate wedding.

Exclusive use of the house means you can really feel at home for the weekend of your wedding and you and your guests can potter about and make use of the fantastic facilities which include a cinema room and this stunning country kitchen.

For more information take a look at Bridwell's website http://www.bridwell.co.uk ... I can thoroughly recommend a visit!
