Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - September/October 2020 (Issue 27)

 Wedding venues with the wow-factor! Spotlight on... SOUTH DEVON & EXETER BITTON HOUSE This Grade II listed period property set in the beautiful Bitton Park showcases impressive bay windows, manicured flower beds and an outdoor veranda. It offers a choice of function rooms all located on the ground floor for easy access, and there is ample parking available. Located in the grounds of Bitton Park is a historic orangery managed by the Friends of Teignmouth Orangery. For a donation, the volunteers will open it, providing a wonderful setting for big-day photographs. Another photo opportunity is by the two cannons positioned at the front of the house. Ceremonies take place in a variety of areas. The Pellew Suite is two adjoining rooms that can be used separately or together located next to the veranda overlooking the orangery holding up to 70 guests. A more intimate gathering of up to 36 loved ones can take place in the Mayor’s Parlour located at the front of the house and the orangery, filled with exotic plants, can hold up to eight people. The wedding breakfast and reception take place for up to 70 loved ones in the Pellew Suite that boasts a dancefloor and couples can hire an outside caterer, mobile bar service and band. There’s also the option of erecting a marquee in the grounds. Ceremony licence?
