HAZELWOOD

Weddings at Hazelwood

Set in 67 acres of ancient woodland in the Avon river valley near Loddiswell, Hazelwood provides the beauty that comes with an outstanding ‘natural' location and the privacy that comes with a ‘private house party'.
Just 6 miles from Kingsbridge and 2 miles from California Cross, Hazelwood is an ideal wedding venue being easily accessible to residents of South Devon and those travelling from motorways and the A38.

With a wealth of resources both in-house and from an astounding array of green and ethical suppliers within South Devon, we can help create your perfect ceremony and celebration.

Weddings at Hazelwood are truely unique and created WITH you to express your individuality.
From discreet satin slippered ceremonies by the Steinway in the Drawing room to blessings in wellies by the boathouse! Hazelwood really is a magical venue.

With the Chapel Gallery, Drawing room and Main Hall all licensed for civil ceremonies you can create both the service and celebration to reflect your passions: formal, intimate or wildly elaborate! Let our blossom filled  valley fire your imagination!

For those with other faith ceremonies in mind our versatile venue is the perfect space and ambience for an individual, authentic service.

Gracious accommodation in the house makes private weekend wedding parties a possibility
We have 14 bedrooms (sleeping 28-32 guests) and 3 cottages (sleeping up to 15) creating space for approximately 45 people.

We require the whole house to be booked for the weekend both Friday & Saturday nights. At peak periods, especially at the height of the summer season, cottages must be booked Friday-Friday (in conjunction with our holiday lets).

Drinks

Hazelwood is fully licensed. We have a special ‘wedding wine list' which includes wines grown and produced within the South Devon region. There is a good range available including house, sparkling wines and champagnes. A paying bar can also be provided.

The Chapel Gallery - 32' x 20'

The Drawing room - 27' x 16'

Flowers and other ‘extras'

We always have fresh flowers on display. However, if you prefer to bring in your own or have a florist provide this service for you - you are welcome. We are happy to discuss any requirements you might have from us regarding flowers, candles and music etc and we would charge accordingly. Equally, if you prefer specific furniture, crockery; linen etc. you are welcome to hire these in at a cost to yourselves.
There are many green and thical local suppliers available, we have compiled a list for ease of reference, just ask if you would like a copy.

The Uniqueness and Creativity we offer means:

  We pride ourselves on our flexible and creative approach to weddings. However, working to these ideals is very demanding on our resources - much more so than with a ‘regimented' system. The domestic demands that are made upon the staff and house and the constant management needed to ensure standards are maintained incur heavy labour costs. Consequently, we must charge for any ‘extra' labours that are unprepared for. Children are very welcome at Hazelwood, and we request that due consideration is given to their well being in the planning stages. It is important for everybody's health & safety that responsibility is taken for them.
