1. Peace of Mind Alongside Effortless Convenience for Yourself and Your Guests

There’s nothing quite like simply waking up on the morning of your wedding day, at the wedding venue itself. Whether it’s relaxing before the ceremony, preparing for the big day, or taking a brief break from the festivities, a Devon wedding venue with accommodation can really allow you and your guests to take your time and make the most of the experience. Plus, if you’re having your ceremony and reception at the wedding venue too, then you won’t need to worry about sorting transportation to and from the venue.

Here at Pynes House, we’re pleased to offer all our couples exclusive use of our luxurious on-site accommodation. The house offers 12 beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with their own unique style and character (see more in the Pynes House Gallery here or in the gallery just below). Offering peace of mind for a truly stress-free wedding experience, you’ll be able to fully relax and unwind in our Devon wedding venue with accommodation, with a backdrop of the rolling Devonshire hills and beyond.

2. Extended Celebrations

With on-site accommodation, your wedding day doesn’t have to end when the reception does. You can extend the celebrations with a next-day brunch, casual gatherings, or even a send-off breakfast for your guests.

At our wedding venue with accommodation in Devon, all our couples enjoy a wedding weekend experience, where they have exclusive use of our country house from the moment of check in on the day before the wedding, until the day following the wedding celebrations. We’ve seen a number of couples make the most of the evening before their wedding, hosting cocktail hours and intimate dinners amongst the rose terrace with their closest friends and family. There’s always the option to extend the day after the wedding with a late checkout too, for some post-wedding celebrations.

4. One-Stop Destination

While it’s true that wedding planning can involve a fair amount of admin, choosing a wedding venue with accommodation can really help to streamline the planning process, enabling you to focus on what really matters. Generally, all the major aspects of your wedding —ceremony, reception, and accommodation—will be taken care of in one location. Not only making coordination easier, this can help to ensure that the day will run more smoothly. Plus, you’ll have a lovely cohesion through the day and be able to truly make the most of your lovely wedding venue.

Here at Pynes House, we’re happy to provide all our couples with a Pynes House wedding co-ordinator, who will work closely with you to put together a day which reflects your style and preferences. From the catering to the décor and entertainment, they’ll be there every step of the way to make sure that your day runs smoothly. And while we have a number of beautiful spaces to celebrate a civil ceremony (see our civil wedding ceremony guide here), you also have the chance to celebrate a religious ceremony in one of the lovely churches around our wedding venue near Exeter.

“Our Pynes House wedding co-ordinator was just a dream. Her passion and dedication to her work shone through in everything she does, and we felt so lucky to have her looking after us on the day. It was clear that she cared so much about making sure we had a memorable day, and took all of our stresses and worries away.”
