No words can truly describe the beauty of this 18th century grade II* listed historic building but stunning, striking and sensational might just come to mind. Haldon Belvedere, also known as Lawrence Castle, in lovely Devonshire is utterly unique and every brides dream wedding venue. For the smaller, more intimate civil ceremony/partnership there is no more romantic setting than this with its breathtaking panoramic views over the cathedral city of Exeter, the River Exe estuary, Dartmoor and the surrounding Devonshire countryside. Set in a secluded, elevated position near Haldon Forest Park this unique tower is the most popular approved premises for a civil ceremony in Devon, if not the South West of England. The miniature Ballroom on the first floor accessed by the period cantilevered spiral staircase is the preferred choice for a ceremony at the Belvedere. Its features include large gothic windows, high ceiling, chandelier, beautiful baroque plasterwork, a magnificent original solid Indian mahogany panelled floor and views to distract the most attentive of brides. After the ceremony, celebration drinks can be served with canapes on the adjacent lawn while the photographer revels in the many photo opportunities the castle and grounds have to offer. The couple can even spend their wedding night/weekend in the tastefully furnished top floor apartment.
