The Bedford was the perfect wedding venue. Kay, Kirsty, Dylan and the team could not do enough for us. Nothing was too much to ask, they went above and beyond and offered to support us in ways we could not even imagine needing. For example holding a brolly and walking with us to the church and waiting outside at the end of the ceremony to keep us dry on the way back. The food was hot and phenomenal and exactly like our wedding tasting, very impressive on such big scale. We had so many compliments about the food from our guests and it even had a mention in the guest book as the best wedding food they had ever had. The evening West Country boards were so impressive not only because they took 4 people to carry but show casing local produce which was great for family and friends who had traveled from afar.
Kay’s communication from our first enquiry throughout the planning process and on the day its self was so prompt which was hugely helpful and appreciated she helped our wedding dreams come to reality.
We will be forever thankful to the Bedford for making our wedding day so special it really felt like a home from home during our wedding celebrations.

Wonderful Wedding Venue, with amazing character and charm.

The location is set in an ancient stannary and market town in Tavistock on Dartmoor.

The Wedding coordinator and the staff were very attentive and made our Wedding Day special with lots of happy memories.

Our Wedding Guests loved the venue and it's unique character. We couldn't ask for more.

They were fantastic at accommodating our needs from the start and very adaptable when things were going crazy close to the day. They worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best day and never had an issue with any requests. Great value for money and brilliant menus to pick from.

The Bedford Hotel hosted our recent wedding. Hannah and Kay were fantastic from start to finish. They booked in regular meetings with us and nothing was too much trouble. Everything we asked for was accommodated and there was a real can do attitude. Dylan the general manager was excellent on the day. We couldn’t have picked a better venue for an intimate winter wedding. The Tavistock room was breathtaking. Thank you for everything!

Perfect venue and excellent wedding day, the day went so smoothly without no issues thanks with the help of Kay and Hannah from Bedford. Thank you so much I will never forget this day. Everyone has said it’s the best wedding they’ve been too. Food , drinks and service was brilliant. I would definitely recommend.

My now husband and I had such a beautiful wedding day at the Bedford Hotel, the staff were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for us, the day went much much better than I ever could have expected it to go, there were no dramas and everything ran smoothly and on time. We had our ceremony in the Tavistock room, and wow what a set up, canapés and drinks in the beautiful setting of the walled garden and whilst that was going on they set the Tavistock room up for the wedding breakfast. When my husband and I saw the room set up we both almost cried as it was absolutely beautiful ❤️. The evening room also looked stunning. The food was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this venue. All the staff there are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Kay, Hannah and Dylan especially ❤️❤️

Driving past the Bedford Hotel, it draws you in. The first time we went past one of us said, "this looks like such a cosy place" - we didn't know that we would get married there back then.

We were looking at options in the Cornwall/Devon area since one of us is from here. After exploring and evaluating lots and lots of options, we eventually realised that the Bedford does do weddings. After being in contact with the events team at the Bedford we quickly decided to go with it.

They were highly attentive, coming up with great suggestions and helping us create the wedding we wanted. Since getting married is something you most likely only do once in your lifetime, it helps to have someone knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the process, you really don't want to mess it up. We never felt anything but confidence having the team helping us with the wedding - they were proactively answering the questions we had and planning the food and catering for us.

We did table decoration ourselves and the Bedford really helped us provide the things we needed, some teamwork was required to make all the decoration work, but this wasn't a problem at all for either the Bedford or us, it turned out beautifully.

On the day itself, the GM and his team were there at beck and call all throughout the day, if anything unexpected had happened, I'm sure they would've managed it brilliantly.

Our guests coming from both the UK and abroad loved the hotel and Tavistock the town, it is a quintessential English market town in the southwest, perfect for our guests to explore on their own outside the wedding celebrations - which they did with childish delight.

If you're looking for a venue for your wedding that is intimate and that gives you a cosy feeling of home, go with the Bedford - the location, the team, the food and the hotel in itself deserve five out of five stars (at least according to us).

We had our wedding at The Bedford Hotel last weekend and couldn’t fault it. Kirsty, Hannah and the rest of the team were brilliant right from the start and couldn’t have done enough for us, making the whole process super easy. They gave us much needed guidance on all things wedding whilst being flexible to allow us to create our vision. The venue itself is beautiful, full of character (especially the walled garden) and has a lovely welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, comfortable rooms and friendly staff.

Thank you so much to everyone at The Bedford for a truly perfect day. We would 100% recommend this venue to anyone who is getting married, you won’t be disappointed!

We are so pleased that we chose the Bedford for our wedding, the hotel and gardens are beautiful and very picturesque. The booking was easy and the wedding team were supportive and attentive prior to and throughout the day. The hotel ensured our day went as smoothly as possible and did everything they could to accommodate all of our needs.

Oh my goodness where to even start! From our initial meeting right until the day was over, The Bedford team were fantastic. Set up was beautiful and the support from the team leading up was brilliant. We had an absolutely beautiful day and i could not recommend The Bedford Hotel, Hannah, Kay and Dylan enough! Thank you!

We couldn’t have opted for a better place to get married, from the first time we went to look at the venue all the way up to our wedding the staff were absolutely incredible. I would especially like to thank Hannah it was a pleasure to have her as our wedding organiser she helped us day and night from the very start and I would just like to say a huge thank you to her. The venue was amazing, wonderful, beautiful, idyllic, and just simply amazing. I would highly recommend to have your wedding or any other events here we will be sure to returning in the future.

We can not praise The Bedford Hotel enough for our amazing wedding day. From the first call we made to them to enquire about the venue the staff were really helpful and could not do enough for us. Having called a couple of other venues where we had to fit into what they offered The Bedford was the other way round and offered to fit in with what we wanted.

The day went without a hitch, the staff knew exactly what they were doing, They ran the day so smoothly we did not need to worry about a thing which proved they have a wealth of experience.

All our guests agreed that the food was amazing, we thought it was also very good value for money. We had some guests with special diet requirements to which the hotel dealt with by offering alternatives without batting an eye.

We would recommend The Bedford Hotel to anyone looking to get married or hold an event they will make the day go better than you could imagine. We will be popping into the Hotel with a gift to offer a small thank you for all they have done for us.

The staff at the Bedford Hotel were exemplary. We had such a wonderful day and all the organising was perfect. Thank you all and especially Kay and Hannah the wedding coordinators.I would totally recommend The Bedford Hotel for anyones wedding.

Wonderful team that provided better than we could have imagined for our special day. Hannah and Kay were great to deal with, the venue was beautiful and full of character, despite bad weather outside, and the food was exceptional.

It's when the Bride is safely ensconsed in her room, with the hairdresser and a glass of champagne, and the groom appears downstairs, hoping desperately to get everything organised before the ceremony, flowers, cake, balloons, screens etc ....and a man appears at your shoulder and calmly says "Hello Mr *********, my name is ********. I am the Front of House Manager. What do you need ?"
That's the moment you know things are going to be alright.
This liaison with the hotel is reassuring, and allows for any last minute questions/ decisions.
The staff have done this before. They know what they are doing.
It all ran so smoothly, and we had a lovely day.
