Venues
From delightful Devon, to the idyllic Yorkshire
Dales, these venues are full of charm…
Capture the castle
Choose
Ripley Castle
as a venue and the backdrop of your wedding is
guaranteed to be picture perfect. Situated three miles from Harrogate
on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this local attraction
dominates the skyline with its dramatic turrets and battlements.
Home to the Ingilby family for more than 700 years, the castle is proud
of its history and has built a reputation as a venue that delivers
beyond expectations. It offers high standards of cuisine and
impeccable service, and there’s a choice of ceremony rooms including
the oak-panelled 16th century library and the Amcotts Room –
originally the coach house. You and your guests can enjoy a
champagne reception on the castle terrace overlooking the lake, before
moving inside for a sumptuous meal in the spectacular East Wing.
Steeped in history and boasting furnishings collected by the family
over centuries, this is a venue that really stands apart.

the champagne’s even begun to flow! Give yourself a break
and hand it over to the experts.

relaxation.

Lap of luxury
Coastal scene
If you and your partner love the sea, with all of its
drama and beauty, then what could be more perfect
than a coastal wedding venue?
Ocean Kave
is
situated on the breathtaking North Devon coastline.
Hidden in the cliff tops above Mermaids Pool with
views across to Lundy Island, this place really has
the wow factor.
The Kave is a beautifully handcrafted space with
crystal chandeliers and a wood burning stove – and
not a stalagmite in sight! The newly built glass
fronted Sunset Rooms provide a stylish and elegant
reception for your guests, whatever the weather. The
accommodation is equally delightful; there are ten
individual luxury holiday cottages on site, sleeping
up to 44 guests. You and your partner can take your
pick from three five-star bridal cottages, designed in
a contemporary style for ultimate comfort and
pleasure. At the end of a wonderful day, you can
toast your future in a candlelit jacuzzi with the
smells and the sounds of the sea still in the air.
