Why couples choose Bovey Castle

Few wedding venues capture the romance of Dartmoor quite like Bovey Castle. Sweeping views, beautifully tended gardens and historic architecture create a spectacular backdrop, while the variety of spaces means celebrations can range from wonderfully intimate to impressively grand.

There’s also the sense of occasion that comes with staying at a luxury country estate. Guests can settle in and make a proper escape of the wedding, while exclusive-use options allow couples to close the doors on the outside world and enjoy the castle as their own.

Say ‘I do’ on Dartmoor

There’s a beautiful choice of ceremony settings across Bovey Castle.

For an outdoor ceremony, the Summerhouse sits within the gardens, with a flower-lined aisle and space for up to 120 guests. Inside, the light-filled Cathedral Room brings grandeur to ceremonies of up to 120, with tall windows, an open fireplace and sweeping valley views.

Smaller celebrations are equally well catered for. The elegant Adam Room hosts ceremonies for up to 50, while the characterful Library, with its fireplace, valley views and access to the South Terrace, provides an intimate setting for up to 15 guests.

Celebrate in style

From drinks and canapés to dinner and dancing, Bovey Castle offers a range of spaces for the celebrations that follow.

The Cathedral Room lends itself beautifully to larger exclusive-use weddings, while private dining spaces include the Bovey Room and Mulberry Room for more intimate gatherings. For a grand wedding breakfast, the Great Western can seat up to 120 guests.

Couples looking for complete privacy can opt for an exclusive-use celebration, transforming Bovey Castle into their own country estate for the occasion.

A feast to remember

Food is an integral part of a Bovey Castle wedding. The in-house culinary team works with couples to create menus for their celebration, whether that means an intimate private dinner or a lavish wedding breakfast for a larger gathering.

With experienced chefs, private dining spaces and a dedicated wedding team on hand, the food and drink can be tailored to complement the style and scale of the day.

Stay a little longer

Bovey Castle’s luxury accommodation makes it easy to turn the wedding into a longer Dartmoor escape. Individually styled bedrooms and suites provide an elegant base for guests, while self-catering lodges offer another option for those wishing to stay on the estate.

There’s plenty to fill the time beyond the wedding itself too, from the spa and golf course to country pursuits and activities across the estate – perfect for couples planning a celebration that stretches beyond a single day.

Perfect for…

Couples dreaming of a luxury Devon wedding surrounded by the dramatic beauty of Dartmoor; intimate weddings and elopements; elegant country house celebrations; outdoor ceremonies; foodie weddings; exclusive-use celebrations; and wedding weekends where guests can stay, relax and make the most of the estate.
