Wedding Venues in Exeter

Exeter makes a good base for a Devon wedding. The city has a medieval cathedral, a historic quayside on the River Exe and hotels and historic buildings in the centre. Around it lies some of the south west's best scenery: the Exe estuary, the red cliffs of the coast at Exmouth, Dawlish and Sidmouth, where the Jurassic Coast begins, and Dartmoor to the west. Country houses, farms, barns and estate venues are spread throughout the surrounding countryside.

Weather and the holiday season

Devon summers draw holidaymakers, so coastal roads and accommodation can be busy in July and August. Book early and suggest that guests reserve rooms as soon as possible. Coastal and moorland weather can change quickly, so ask each venue about indoor alternatives. Spring and early autumn are often calmer. Prices vary with the day of the week and season.

Getting there

Exeter St Davids has direct trains to London Paddington and along the south west, the M5 ends just outside the city, and Exeter Airport is a short drive east. Many rural venues are down narrow Devon lanes, so check access for coaches and arrange transport for guests.
