Couples are able to choose from four or five completely different settings. The magnificent Victorian Drawing Room, with its linenfold panelling and stunning murals of historical events, is licenced for up to 70 people. It was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the eminent Victorian architect, for Sir George Stucley MP in 1850; he was inspired by The Robing Room in the Palace of Westminster. There is a Grand Piano by Bechstein which can be used and a log fire for cold days!

The Billiard Room is a light and airy Georgian room in pale blue, hung with family portraits and was once the entrance hall. It is dominated by a large stone fireplace, made from Maltese stone brought back to Hartland Quay in the 1850s by an ancestor and carved on site. Being east facing, it is a particularly good room for morning ceremonies. Mario Testino filmed in here for American Vogue. The Billiard Room is licenced for up to 40 people.

The Library faces west towards the sea and overlooks parkland. It is a beautiful pale green Regency room in the Strawberry Hill Gothick style with gothic bookshelves, a fabulous ogee shaped fireplace and many family portraits. It is an intimate and friendly room used by the family on a daily basis. It is licenced for up to 15 people.

We have a licence for ceremonies in the tiny Gazebo overlooking the Atlantic . It is perched on the side of a hill with stunning views out to sea. It is approached by car or on foot along a track from the Abbey and thence by foot up a zig zag path. It is not suitable for those with walking difficulties. It is a stunning venue for a very quiet and intimate ceremony.

Wedding receptions can be held on the lawns beside the Abbey or elsewhere on the estate. We have hosted Humanist Weddings by the beach and in the gardens.

Car parking can be very close to the house and in good weather helicopters can land nearby.
