The market town of Newton Abbot in Devon has it all; A charming Victorian era town, a nearby racecourse and access to those all important Devon beaches offering the lure of golden sand and the deep blue sea. It is a great place to get married, particularly if your guests are likely to be travelling long distances to join you on your special day. What could be better than extending their stay to enjoy some of the pleasures on offer in the local area?
Wedding venues throughout Newton Abbot and the surrounding district are experienced in putting together first class wedding receptions that create an amazing day for the bride and groom and their friends and family. From civil ceremonies in beautiful or unusual locations, to traditional church weddings followed by a grand banquet, local Devon suppliers will be only too happy to share their knowledge of which special ingredients are essential for fantastic wedding receptions.
There are wedding venues large and small, simple or ornate and they are all committed to creating the types of wedding receptions that dreams are made of. What’s more, the warmth of the local people of Devon will make planning and holding wedding receptions in this area a joy.
Wedding venues undoubtedly monopolise attention when it comes to planning wedding receptions and rightly so since they play such an important role. It’s a good idea to visit the area a couple of times at least to check out the wedding venues on offer and make sure you find the one that’s right for you. Civil ceremonies can take place at many locations within Devon so if that’s how you’re planning to tie the knot be sure to ask about arrangement and services on offer during your venue visits. Once you’ve chosen where to hold your wedding the next step is to plan the day itself; think about whether you want to book a disco or band or perhaps something a little more unusual.
Once all that’s sorted out, decide where you will all spend the wedding night. Many wedding venues will have special guest rates and this might be a great way for your friends to enjoy a longer break in the Devon sunshine without breaking the bank.
Nearby Newton Abbot racecourse is well worth a visit if you or your guests enjoy horse racing. It’s a thoroughbred horse racing venue whose course features seven fences and a very short run in. If your wedding doesn’t happen to coincide with a race meeting you may still be in luck as the course also plays host to regular antiques fairs and other events.
Other main attractions include Bradley Manor, a National Trust property which dates from the 15th century, the Passmore Edwards Public Library which is one of the most impressive buildings in the vicinity and, of course, all of those sandy Devon beaches that are just crying out for some wedding photographs of the happy couple, walking hand in hand along the beach.
