Make your provisional booking
We will hold your provisional booking and will send our ceremony booking form and bank payment details by email. Your provisional booking will be held for 7 days to allow time for you to arrange the other elements of your wedding day.

The Registrars' fees, starting from £475, are not included and must be personally arranged online with the Devon Registration Service (Exeter) after confirmation of Haldon Belvedere availability by using this link https://www.devon.gov.uk/registrationservice/guide/marriages

The Haldon Belvedere is available daily for weddings with two sessions running from 10am until 1pm (11am ceremony) and from 2pm until 5pm (3pm ceremony). We can be more flexible with hire times on weekdays or at low to mid-season so feel free to discuss your requirements with us.

Confirm your booking

The balance is due 3 months prior to your ceremony or the full amount is due at booking stage if the ceremony is booked less than 3 months in advance.
