Colehayes Park

From the very first minute we arrived at Colehayes, everyone was so incredibly happy. Friday night was great fun and our wedding on Saturday was superb. We really couldn’t have been happier. The weather was perfect and the gardens were just so beautiful that all our photos are breathtaking. We hope the bagpipes weren’t too disturbing for the neighbours! We really hope that we’ll be able to hire Colehayes again someday for an anniversary or christening as it really is such an incredibly beautiful place.

Colehayes Park was the perfect wedding venue. Rebecca, Kathy and Ellice were very kind, did loads of the thinking for us and allowed us to do our own thing 100%. Having the guests stay on-site made it a very special weekend and it got rave reviews from the guests. We couldn’t recommend the venue or management highly enough. Hope to return soon!

We chose Colehayes Park as our venue, and I can’t say enough good things about this place. They’re one of the only totally DIY wedding venues in the country – you can literally do whatever you want which is exactly what we wanted. We had zero restrictions from decorations to the  time we finished. They are so incredibly helpful, friendly, lovely and great to deal with. The house itself is absolutely stunning. Most of our wedding guests stayed with us, which was really important as we didn’t want our wedding to only last one day or to have to chuck everyone out at 11:30 – that’s just when the party is getting started! The location is absolutely stunning; there’s even a lake! It could not have been more perfect.

Colehayes Park is one of our favourite wedding venues and one we would return to in a heartbeat. The most amazing thing about this Georgian mansion set in the Dartmoor Countryside is that quite literally anything goes; you can completely have it exactly as you want it with as much or as little help from the staff as you desire. You can hire the entire place to yourself, you can have the ceremony outside next to a spectacular cork tree (one of only 9 in the UK!), the building is beautiful and covered in Virginia Creeper, and the surrounding land is gorgeous: from the immaculate gardens to the lake with its historic stone bridge leading to a little island with a single huge tree, it’s beyond picturesque. Needless to say, we absolutely fell in love with this place and we are sure you will too.

Had our most amazing, beautiful, lovely wedding at Colehayes on 3rd August. Ellice and Rebecca could not have been better to work with, and we also hired Kathy and her crew for a day to help and they were all stars. It truly was the best day and I would recommend everyone we used. All in all, it was an amazing day, we could not have asked for better.

I think we knew as soon as we pulled up outside we wouldn’t need to look anywhere else. We took a tour of the house and fell in love. The biggest selling point was that we could do whatever we wanted; including our own catering and choosing our own décor. Once you arrive, the house is yours to do as you wish with, the owners do pop in and out if needed, but they also leave you to it.
