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!
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 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.
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.
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.
