Perfect venue for a perfect day

As soon as we saw this venue we knew it was the place we wanted to get married.

The value for money here is insane. You get full use of the venue, including a wide range of decorations free to use and not just flowers - card boxes, vases, photo walls, table runners, fairy lights, plates, cutlery etc.
A wedding coordinator, Anita, who is fabulous and such a lovely lady. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She understood the vibe we were going for and dressed the entire venue for us before we had even arrived, including fresh flowers on every table. We just had to add our own finishing touches! I forgot a whole centrepiece for our top table and Anita ran out and got everything needed to make one.

You get the choice to marry in the beautful ceremony barn or outside in the orchard and even though the weather was gorgeous I was so glad we chose the barn. It was a stunning place to hold our ceremony and was dressed absolutely beautifully.

You get full use of the cottage and lodge accommodation from friday to Sunday. All very clean and the perfect place to get ready for your big day and get those pre wedding photos. Very comfy clean beds, kitchen with everything you need, clean showers and toilets.

The grounds are absolutely beautiful, well maintained and very clean with seating outside which our guests made the most of during our cocktail hour and into the evening.

A fully stocked bar with a great selection of beers, ciders, spirits and cocktails, all pretty reasonably priced.

Every single one of our guests commented on how gorgoeus the venue was.

Over all a very happy bride and groom. I would recommend this place 1000% times over.

Our June Joy

We loved this venue years before getting engaged, we camped on a little holiday and thought how lovely it would be for a wedding. Fast forward six years and that’s what we did. We had from Friday to Monday there which was all included, leaving lots of time for prep.
Beautiful, rustic and relaxed, this place doesn’t need much as it really speaks for itself, especially the ceremony barn💗.
From start to finish Anita was wonderful, and she made sure the day ran smoothly, limiting stress and making sure the place looked beautiful. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Alice in wonderland wedding

James and I got married here in sept 24. Our theme was an Alice in wonderland Mad hatters tea party. Anita put our minds at ease from the word go, nothing was too much trouble. She was approachable and contactable. On the day Anita offered lots of support, taking the stress away from us so that we could enjoy ourselves. The barn and grounds are well maintained and the accommodation on site is a god send with traveling relatives. We would highly recommend to anyone. The cost was to hire the barn . All the decor was made and provided by us.

Our dreams come true!

We are overwhelmed with our wedding being more magical, personal and better than we could ever have dared hope. The exceptional service from Anita and the team at The Exmouth Country Lodge wedding venue made every aspect easy and stress free. Anita has such knowledge and passion for making every wedding the best it can be, she’s genuinely as dedicated as if it were her own day. The venue offered us the perfect balance of relaxed and informal but with a rustic charm. Being able to access the venue and stay on site meant we got everything done (with Anita’s generous assistance!) the day before and we and our guests were thoroughly looked after for what turned out to be our perfect wedding! Anita recommended the DJ (DJ Shindig) & caterers (The Ginger Pig Hog Roast co.) who turned out to be perfect for us and the use of the outside space for lawn games & general mingling was wonderful. We are still blown away a week later and haven’t stopped re-living every moment - thank you so very much from Earl & Sally Napier.

Perfect venue for a rustic wedding. Great accommodation options.

Anita was really helpful in supporting us planning our wedding and helping it go smoothly.
Correspondence was timely, even through the winter season.
Only downside of the venue is the decibel limit which impacts on having a live band. We also would have liked to be able to have music prior to the evening.
Overall very happy with our choice to f venue.

The perfect venue

Not only was this the perfect venue, but it was the perfect place for the bridal party to get ready and stay - both the night before and the night of the wedding. Anita was wonderful in the planning stages and put our minds at ease.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
