Weddings at River Hall
Think of the quintessential country house with lofty corniced ceilings and a spiralling staircase. Add a couple to be married and a gaggle of guests, a feast fit for a King and his Queen and lashings of love. Imagine your wedding at River Hall.
Whether you wish to get married inside the House or outside under the grand stone Portico, or if you prefer a church wedding where the party afterwards moves back to the estate, you can use River Hall to create your own perfect wedding celebration.
With its polished wooden floors and ornate cornicing, the Hall has a grand, yet simple beauty about it. The spiral staircase is perfect for the bride who wants to make an entrance and ‘wow’ her awaiting guests below.
For the ultimate in intimate outdoor romance, say ‘I do’ under the grand central Portico. For a larger reception, the grounds provide plenty of space for a marquee. Choose from the East Lawn or the Front Lawn with views over rolling parkland.
The Setting
River Hall is set in five acres of private gardens and grounds, with rolling fields and ageing oak trees. The Estate also has its own tennis court, boasting spectacular views over the Tarka Trail and River Torridge.
Enjoy woodland walks, tree-top swings and natural balancing beams. Or take the Nature Trail down to the river.
The terrace is the ideal spot to relax with a spot of afternoon tea or a glass or two of bubbly. The extensive lawns are perfect for a quiet game of croquet or boules or a snooze in the sun, whatever takes your fancy.
The Ceremony
