Pynes House

We had the most amazing wedding at Pynes House on 1st June 2019, Kate and the whole team were incredible. Jo our planner on site was second to none. The whole experience from the moment we booked up until the wedding day itself was seamless and I would highly recommend them. The whole venue is so beautiful is was literally like living a dream for the day!

What a magnificent venue Pynes House is, the images do not do it justice. What you don’t see from the images is how warm, helpful and kind everyone is who is associated with Pynes House. We got married here in August 2019 and Kate, Heather, Geoff and Jon were fantastic. Jo who is the resident wedding coordinator was phenomenal, if we ever had another event like this she would be first on our list as a guest! The rooms are large, airy and beautifully appointed. Each room is unique, every guest thought they got the “best room”. The grounds and gardens are tasteful and a lovely place to spend any amount of time. We cannot recommend this place enough.

Choosing to have our wedding at Pynes House was the best decision we could have made. An incredible venue with absolutely stunning bedrooms and perfect for our big day. The team at Pynes House were an absolute dream to work with, and we could not recommend them highly enough.

WOW!! Pynes House is the most beautiful wedding venue in Devon hands down. It was truly amazing and a very wonderful set up for a wedding. Having searched far and wide in Devon to find the ideal wedding venue for our day, and seeing Pynes first we never should have looked any further. Stop your search! It blows you away. The drive up to the house, the entrance and the welcome and then the rooms inside are all equally stunning. The rose garden is charming and perfect for canapés and drinks. The location makes you feel like you are miles away in the countryside and yet you are still so close to the city of Exeter and the transport links and local hotels. Ideal. The whole team and the families who run Pynes, are the most helpful and friendly people you will meet in the wedding venue industry. Nothing compared to Pynes House they were brilliant. Heather and Kate made us feel like ours was the only wedding that year. Always able to answer questions and help with all the planning. With the exclusive use of the house and not back-to-back weddings (like some venues), you really do feel like you have the best of the best. And not to mention Jo their on site wedding planner!! She is fantastic!! Cannot fault her dedication and attention to detail – for us she helped make the day run smooth and guided us as a couple. She sat down with us to go through everything the day before and then on the day was behind the scenes making everything happen. Couldn’t have done it without her. Any doubt, go and see for yourself the beauty of this venue. Thank you Pynes House.

Pynes House was simply perfect! From our first visit, we knew it was the place we would get married. The house and grounds and beautiful, and the guest rooms are gorgeous.
The variety of spaces indoors and out meant we could plan our day in exactly the way we wanted, and the open days were so helpful to take our families and get excited!
Would absolutely recommend Pynes to any couple!

What a dream venue. What a dream of a wedding.

We fell in love with every aspect of Pynes from our first viewing: its exquisite elegance and cosiness, the magnificent driveway, large romantic fireplaces, the grand staircase; perfect for a bridal entrance and the multiple gorgeously decorated guest rooms. For us, though, the people made our wedding at Pynes just as magical as the venue itself.

From day one, Phoebe was on hand with recommendations and advice. Before we booked, we visited Pynes, and she helped us picture how our day could go in each room. Once we booked our date, the Pynes team were in touch with a list of FAQs, recommended suppliers and helpful tips. Again, Phoebe was on hand to answer any questions throughout our planning process and to ensure we accounted for everything we wanted to. She was incredible on the day, ensuring every moment was seamless and contributing to the celebratory mood; nothing seemed to trouble her; she even appeared with a drink in hand to help calm Hetty’s nerves during a dress disaster, quickly turning the moment into a funny story. Our guests commented on how organised the day was, and we will safely say this is purely because of our outstanding suppliers, especially Phoebe.

Closer to the day, we met Jay, who helped guide us through our drinks choices, including sourcing an incredible rose and ensuring Dan had a whiskey for toasting. Jay specialises in cocktails, which our guests were only too happy to sample. The Esspresso martinis were some of the best we’ve ever had, and they certainly kept the party going all night, even after the early start!

We loved extending our celebration over three days; having our closest friends and family stay with us the night before and recover with us the day after meant the world. The multiple rooms on the ground floor gave our guests space to celebrate how they wanted, from hide-and-seek in the rose garden to deep chats in the drawing room or partying the night away in the ballroom. The whole house overflowed with laughter and love. We both have treasured memories we will look back on for years to come.

Thank you to all the team at Pynes for making our wedding feel like a fairytale. If you’re considering booking Pynes as your wedding venue, we couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

I was so nervous prior to my first visit to Pynes House; we had read so many fabulous reviews about this impressive venue, most of which detail love at first sight and I am so pleased to say, Pynes House did not disappoint. After so many unsuccessful venue searches and visits, from the minute the car started to roll down the long and inviting driveway, we were in awe. The house is set within the most beautiful surroundings and is visually breathtaking. Each luxurious room is decorated to perfection and what every bride dreams of for their wedding night. Although Jon and I knew we wanted to marry outside, there was much less stress leading up to the day, as we knew the inside of the house was as beautiful as the outside. However, we were lucky enough to have the wedding we had always hoped for and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Heather and Kate are so lovely and such a pleasure to work with. From the moment we first spoke, they were helpful, friendly and supportive and we couldn’t have asked for more. Pynes House is the most gorgeous home-from-home and provided the most phenomenal setting for our dream wedding.

What an excellent wedding venue! We couldn’t recommend it highly enough. They were so helpful with everything from planning to making sure everything ran perfectly on the day. Many of the guests commented on how spectacular the venue is, and we couldn’t agree more. It was like a fairytale to be able to stay and get married in such a magnificent place, and to have all of our friends and family around us too. The accommodation is beautiful, from the bedrooms to the guest kitchen, Pynes felt like it was ours for the weekend and it was wonderful to have so many of the wedding party staying in the same place as us for the weekend of the wedding. Fantastic wedding venue, we couldn’t have been happier.

Our guests were blown away by Pynes House, it was so lovely on the day to hear their overwhelmingly positive experiences of staff and the surroundings. Everyone in the team worked exceptionally hard to bring our vision to life. Many of our friends have spoken about how stressful they found the process of planning their wedding. But my husband and I felt totally supported by the whole team at Pynes through every step of planning to the day itself. Jay, the drinks manager, was so helpful and accommodating with our bespoke requests. The team at Pickle Shack created an outstanding menu, and the service was fantastic. We must also mention Phoebe from Pynes House, who made us feel so welcome and whose timeline for the day meant that we didn’t feel like we needed to oversee anything.

We booked Pynes House as our wedding venue without having visited, so that made it all the more sweeter when we showed up and it felt like we walked into a fairy tale. The house is spectacular, and the grounds were absolutely beautiful, with the colourful gardens and the rolling hills in the background. We had an amazing sunny day one night and a rainy day another night, but regardless of the weather conditions, the venue’s charm shone through. It was also incredibly fun to have our closest friends and family staying under one roof for the entire weekend. We couldn’t imagine a better venue and location, and we’re so happy we chose it sight unseen!

Our event manager, Natalie, was amazing, too. We talked through our vision with her, and when the weekend arrived, she executed it perfectly. We didn’t have to worry about anything, which allowed us to fully enjoy our weekend.

Thank you to Pynes House for giving us some of our best memories! We hope to get back someday.
