    Perfect intimate wedding

    We couldn’t have been more pleased with our intimate wedding at the Horn of Plenty - breathtaking views, incredible wedding planners, fantastic food.

    Our wedding was planned pretty speedily and Jess & Shirna provided brilliant support in the lead up to our big day, no question was too small and were so helpful (even providing a list of recommended local suppliers who had worked at the venue before ((all incredible). We viewed another venue nearby before, but our tour with Jess was so detailed and was reassured that the venue would make our day super special, there was no contest.

    Our wedding day being in Feb 2024, did mean that rain was very much a part of the day. But in all honestly, the views are so spectacular it really wouldn’t have matter what the weather was and this really came through in our photos. There are so many great spots to get those special couple shots on the grounds.

    The rooms were all amazing and our guests were very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was a real treat and without requesting they even made a table for us all to sit together before our guests began their travels home.

    The day itself ran so smoothly and all the staff were so kind and helpful.

    Would 100% recommend!

    Upsetting and disappointing

    We booked this venue in 2023 after reading all the great reviews, little did we know it had just been taking over but different people. So as for all of the awards for fine dining ignore them! the food couldn’t have been worse how you can over cook a steak and serve it cold is beyond me. Soup was cold and poured over one of my guests and to top it off the next day at breakfast i had orange juice poured all over me. Most of the staff were really rude and we were made to feel like we were in the way constantly, not what you expect on your wedding day. We did only book the venue out till five so even though we had booked eight of our 16 rooms, we were then ushered out and told to go upstairs even though my stepchildren were playing a game of chess, they were told to carry it upstairs midway through their game, because the 2 other guests, we’re obviously more important then us. We were made to feel like we were just in the way the whole time we were there and that includes the night before where the steak was actually better than it was on my wedding day, we were told that they wouldn’t do a medium well steak because the chef wouldn’t cook a well done steak which is ironic considering mine came out overcooked when I’d asked for it to be rare. on the wedding day it wasn’t even a fillet steak which is what we had payed for, I would call it more of a medallion it was very poor. This was the feeling that all of my guest came away with, which is really upsetting that, thats how my wedding day is going be remembered. This is such a shame because the venue is absolutely beautiful and the views are stunning.

    The Horn Of Plenty's reply:

    We are really saddened to read this review and to see that you don't have a positive memory of your day. Our other reviews show that our couples do have a wonderful day with us and we are sorry that we missed the mark on this occasion. Unfortunately mistakes sometimes happen and when we know about them, we aim to sort them at the time so that small errors don't escalate. With an Afternoon (part day) Wedding an evening space is agreed for your use, perhaps your guests didn't understand this and we should have explained in a gentler way. We can only apologise and hope that in time you will be able to look back at the positives and joy of the day.

    Beautiful setting - wonderful day!

    We do not live locally to the venue so were doing everything by phone/email etc. But Shirna and her team were always responsive to messages and we always felt that our wedding was in 'safe hands' . Nothing was too much trouble for us or our guests - everyone was taken care of, including two elderly family members with wheelchairs. Our guests were so impressed with our choice of venue, and as the weather was so lovely, it made it just perfect. The views are stunning and the sunset was so beautiful down the valley.

    The most magical day

    Shirna & the team at the Horn of Plenty were incredible. Every single member of staff was polite, accommodating, efficient & professional.

    The build up to the day & the running of our wedding day was effortless with the assistance of the horn of plenty team.

    The venue is absolutely stunning & the food was amazing.
    The venue and day was just perfect.

    Fantastic all round

    The team at the Horn of Plenty were fantastic all the way through our wedding process, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. It was clear from our first meeting that the team here was the most "on it" of all the venues we visited and they ensured everything ran as smoothly as possible on the day itself, from managing suppliers and setting up the venue to delivering amazing food and keeping us to time. The venue is also in a stunning location which delivered the perfect backdrop for our wedding.

    A magical day!

    We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did to make our day so special. From shouldering my wedding nerves and stress, to impeccable spreadsheet organisation, to donning wellies and wet weather gear to humour our bizarre outdoorsy needs, you guys were truly something special to behold. Everyone commented on how lovely, polite and efficient your team were. The food was on point, Michelin standard in our view, the organisation faultless, the surroundings just gorgeous, even more so in the rain! We had the most magical day, thank you to everyone who played their part to make our day so beautiful, from kitchen, to reception, to housekeeping to co- ordination. We are truly grateful. So many of guests want to return for their own romantic weekend away. We certainly will each year for our anniversary and all other special occasions, its become a favourite place of our family.
    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Magical Micro Wedding Venue

    No request or detail was an issue to Shirna and the Wedding Team. Our day was amazing. We live nearby and love this venue and visit often. The views are stunning. The food is delicious, and the hotel has a variety of rooms to suit all needs, with comfort in abundance. This was important to us, due to elderly parents with mobility issues and young grand daughters, under 5yrs of age. Linda at A Scent-Sation (The Flower Shop) in Tavistock, created beautiful floral bouquets and delivered to the venue. Pete Daniel Photography, Bere Alston, organised us all and provided us with amazing digital "for ever" pictorial memories. We are truly thankful to everyone who made our Wedding Day so very special.

    Amazing wedding venue

    Absolutely stunning venue with great food. Everyone was incredibly friendly throughout the organisation and on the day. Nothing was too much and they were always happy to answer the many questions that come up in organising a wedding! We got to have a meeting with the chef to design our menu and then a meal and wine taster which was amazing!

    On the day (and the day before and after) everything was sorted for us so we didn't have to worry about a thing - nothing was too much trouble.

    We had such an amazing day that we will never forget and look forward to visiting The Horn of Plenty again in the future!

    The Horn Of Plenty's reply:

I will pass on your lovely feedback to our wonderful team. We wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you in the future! - The Horn of Plenty Weddings Team
