    A beautiful day

    We are so pleased that we chose the Bedford for our wedding, the hotel and gardens are beautiful and very picturesque. The booking was easy and the wedding team were supportive and attentive prior to and throughout the day. The hotel ensured our day went as smoothly as possible and did everything they could to accommodate all of our needs.

    Fantastic!

    Oh my goodness where to even start! From our initial meeting right until the day was over, The Bedford team were fantastic. Set up was beautiful and the support from the team leading up was brilliant. We had an absolutely beautiful day and i could not recommend The Bedford Hotel, Hannah, Kay and Dylan enough! Thank you!

    The Bedford Hotel's reply:

    Magical Wedding

    The Bedford Hotel hosted our recent wedding. Hannah and Kay were fantastic from start to finish. They booked in regular meetings with us and nothing was too much trouble. Everything we asked for was accommodated and there was a real can do attitude. Dylan the general manager was excellent on the day. We couldn’t have picked a better venue for an intimate winter wedding. The Tavistock room was breathtaking. Thank you for everything!

    The Bedford Hotel's reply:

    Dear Vanessa & Sally,
    Thank you for choosing The Bedford Hotel for your special day.
    It was a pleasure to host you and your nearest and dearest for your beautiful, intimate winter wedding.
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our wonderful team.
    We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

    We cant recommend the Bedford Hotel enough.

    We can not praise The Bedford Hotel enough for our amazing wedding day. From the first call we made to them to enquire about the venue the staff were really helpful and could not do enough for us. Having called a couple of other venues where we had to fit into what they offered The Bedford was the other way round and offered to fit in with what we wanted.

    The day went without a hitch, the staff knew exactly what they were doing, They ran the day so smoothly we did not need to worry about a thing which proved they have a wealth of experience.

    All our guests agreed that the food was amazing, we thought it was also very good value for money. We had some guests with special diet requirements to which the hotel dealt with by offering alternatives without batting an eye.

    We would recommend The Bedford Hotel to anyone looking to get married or hold an event they will make the day go better than you could imagine. We will be popping into the Hotel with a gift to offer a small thank you for all they have done for us.

    The Bedford Hotel's reply:

    Dear Wendy,
    Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. It was a pleasure to host your special day & we are so pleased to hear that you and your guests had a great time! I will pass on your lovely comments to our wonderful team. We wish you all the best and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

    Outstanding Experience

    Wonderful team that provided better than we could have imagined for our special day. Hannah and Kay were great to deal with, the venue was beautiful and full of character, despite bad weather outside, and the food was exceptional.

    Intimate country-side wedding

    Driving past the Bedford Hotel, it draws you in. The first time we went past one of us said, "this looks like such a cosy place" - we didn't know that we would get married there back then.

    We were looking at options in the Cornwall/Devon area since one of us is from here. After exploring and evaluating lots and lots of options, we eventually realised that the Bedford does do weddings. After being in contact with the events team at the Bedford we quickly decided to go with it.

    They were highly attentive, coming up with great suggestions and helping us create the wedding we wanted. Since getting married is something you most likely only do once in your lifetime, it helps to have someone knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the process, you really don't want to mess it up. We never felt anything but confidence having the team helping us with the wedding - they were proactively answering the questions we had and planning the food and catering for us.

    We did table decoration ourselves and the Bedford really helped us provide the things we needed, some teamwork was required to make all the decoration work, but this wasn't a problem at all for either the Bedford or us, it turned out beautifully.

    On the day itself, the GM and his team were there at beck and call all throughout the day, if anything unexpected had happened, I'm sure they would've managed it brilliantly.

    Our guests coming from both the UK and abroad loved the hotel and Tavistock the town, it is a quintessential English market town in the southwest, perfect for our guests to explore on their own outside the wedding celebrations - which they did with childish delight.

    If you're looking for a venue for your wedding that is intimate and that gives you a cosy feeling of home, go with the Bedford - the location, the team, the food and the hotel in itself deserve five out of five stars (at least according to us).

    The Bedford Hotel's reply:

    Dear Andrew & Alec,

    Thank you so much for your kind words and comments, it was a pleasure to host your special day.
    Your decorations came together beautiful and really complemented the style of the Portrait room.

    Wishing you a lifetime of love & happiness, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

    When you need a friend ......

    It's when the Bride is safely ensconsed in her room, with the hairdresser and a glass of champagne, and the groom appears downstairs, hoping desperately to get everything organised before the ceremony, flowers, cake, balloons, screens etc ....and a man appears at your shoulder and calmly says "Hello Mr *********, my name is ********. I am the Front of House Manager. What do you need ?"
    That's the moment you know things are going to be alright.
    This liaison with the hotel is reassuring, and allows for any last minute questions/ decisions.
    The staff have done this before. They know what they are doing.
    It all ran so smoothly, and we had a lovely day.
