Why couples choose Kingston Estate

Kingston Estate offers the privacy and flexibility to create a wedding that goes far beyond a single day. Guests can arrive for a welcome dinner, celebrate across the estate and gather again for breakfast or relaxed activities the following morning.

The venue’s range of spaces allows each part of the wedding to have a different atmosphere. Couples might exchange vows in a garden, dine beneath chandeliers in a barn and finish the night dancing in a hidden underground club.

Exclusive use means the manor house, gardens, accommodation and celebration spaces are reserved entirely for the wedding party, creating the feeling of a private destination in the Devon countryside.

Marry within the estate

Kingston is licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships across a choice of indoor and outdoor settings.

The Georgian Manor House offers an elegant backdrop for intimate ceremonies, while the Long Barn combines rustic character with eight statement chandeliers. For a larger outdoor wedding, the south-facing Walled Garden can accommodate up to 250 guests surrounded by greenery and historic stone walls.

The estate’s gardens, woodland, courtyards and countryside provide varied settings for photographs, drinks receptions and quiet moments together throughout the day.

Feast, drink and party

Wedding breakfasts can take place in the Long Barn, the light-filled Hayloft or outside in the Rose Garden. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the Hayloft frame the surrounding countryside, while alfresco dining brings a relaxed Mediterranean feel to summer celebrations.

Kingston’s in-house chefs create individual menus using ingredients from local suppliers. Options range from elegant banquets and creative sharing feasts to street food, barbecues and informal food stations.

Six bars serve different parts of the estate, with bespoke cocktails, mocktails, spritzers, wines and local drinks tailored to the celebration.

As evening arrives, guests can party in the courtyard, giant yurt, Hayloft or gardens before moving to the vaulted wine cellar. Hidden beneath the Manor House, this atmospheric nightclub has a music licence until 3am, allowing celebrations to continue into the early hours.

Stay for the weekend

More than 100 guests can stay across the estate in the Georgian Manor House, converted barns, cottages and characterful huts. The accommodation ranges from romantic hideaways for two to larger properties where groups of friends and family can stay together.

Many of the cottages and barns include private gardens and hot tubs with countryside views. For larger weddings, a bespoke boutique glamping village can provide additional accommodation and bring a relaxed festival element to the weekend.

Keeping everyone onsite makes it easy for guests to settle in and enjoy the celebration without arranging transport. It also creates more time together, from welcome drinks and late-night conversations to breakfast the following morning.

Combining grand architecture, creative freedom and legendary late-night celebrations, Kingston Estate is a spectacular choice for a luxury destination wedding in South Devon.
