About
An exquisite Grade I listed, Regency country house wedding venue set in over 100 acres of glorious Devon parkland, just seven miles from the centre of Exeter. Rockbeare Manor has an outstanding reputation for exceptional food and service and going the extra mile for all their guests.
A pair of impressive white pillars marks the entrance to one of the South West’s most elegant, and very special, exclusive use country wedding venues. Anticipation will grow as you catch the odd glimpse of the house from the meandering driveway, passing through patches of dappled sunlight before arriving at the magnificent Regency Manor near Exeter.
The stately Dining Room or pretty outdoor Terrace are the perfect backdrops for a Civil Ceremony and you can then enjoy reception drinks and some delicious canapés, before being invited into our spacious Ballroom, which seats 50 - 160 guests, for a lavish wedding breakfast. The giant contemporary chandeliers, high ceiling and full-length windows overlooking acres of parkland give the room an expansive, airy feel, making it the ideal place for the festivities to continue.
The sweeping staircase leads to an opulent bridal Drawing Room with floor-to-ceiling windows and grand balcony, and for the groom and his groomsmen we have the Billiard Room.

Reviews

The chef - both Rhys & I plus family and all our guests were simply blown away by the food. Michelin stars and beyond you just nailed it. Can’t believe how good the steak was. Our guests have said it’s the best wedding food they ever had and I second that! You really should be proud of your talent for what you did on Saturday.
The waiting & bar staff - excellent in every way, service was 5 star, smiley, polite and so attentive. You really are a real credit to the Rockbeare Manor name. Special mention to Siobhan and Abbi because I saw them most, the rest of them were still awesome
Helen - fantastic in every way from communication to nothing too much trouble and I was a pain in the arse towards the end - sorry. You were brilliant
Aimee & Andy - incredible venue, service and personal touches. You have really smashed this wedding thing. Thank you so much. We will never be able to say how truly grateful we are to you for everything you’ve done to make that day be such a great wedding. Our guests loved Rockbeare, the FOOD, service and attention to detail. We will be eternally grateful to you both
You do a fantastic job you really do and we can’t thank you enough ALL of you!

I know we still need to pay for our meals and let us know if there are any other additions. We are back from our trip on the 5th November.
Please pass out thanks on to the waiting staff, kitchen staff and of course the cleaners!
Many many many thanks!!!

Given that you had done the whole thing the day before it was doubly appreciated that you still made us feel our day was special.
All the staff were impeccably discreetly present throughout the day
Stephanie, you were a complete super star and an utter delight. I do hope you had a good few days off to recover
We will not hesitate to recommend you.

When we first visited the venue last April we loved it from the moment we saw it. At that time even though the venue was not complete we could see what a wonderful job was being done and that it would be the perfect place for our day.
It was great to be able to set up our bits and pieces the afternoon before and added to our excitement for the coming day. Our wedding day was perfect everything ran so smoothly. All the staff were friendly, fun and professional especially the bar staff who were offered numerous shots throughout the evening! A special thanks needs to go to Katie who looked after us on the day. She was so friendly, professional and nothing was too much for her. She made us both very relaxed and knew that everything was in capable hands, even though we only met her that morning.
The breakfast the next day was a nice way to finish off at the venue and was lovely to have all the flowers and trinkets from the day in there as well. The rooms were amazing just did not get enough time in them to enjoy them fully!.
We have had so many comments on the great venue, the amazing food and wine and the overall setting of the venue which certainly was a big part in making our day so very special.
We wish you all the very best for the future and all the other amazing days you will create for people.

We will definitely recommend the venue to our friends and family.

We were just delighted with everything, from the details on the tables, to the food, the drinks, the service, the weather, to the rooms.
I could not recommend Rockbeare Manor enough. It really is a very special place.
Thank you so all the staff for all of their hard work!


The food was was absolutely delicious and all dietary requirements for our guests were no problem at all.
At the end of the night after a long day to be able to stay in such beautiful and elegant rooms really is the icing on the cake.
Thank you so much Stephanie & the Rockbeare Manor team for giving us such a special day and amazing memories.


Everyone commented on how delicious all the food was - from the 3 course meal to the burgers and chips in the evening and the ice cream tricycle was a massive hit!
The day from start to finish was just perfect and we're so glad we chose to get married here I can't recommend it enough

We enjoyed our day so much and it was perfect.
Thank you again.

Davy – you literally had everything covered! From making sure we had canapés during our photos, to bringing us a pasty at the end of the night – somehow knowing that we wouldn’t have had much of a chance to eat ourselves. Nothing was too much trouble and you were omnipresent from our arrival until we left the next day. Thank you so so much for everything – you were beyond incredible.
Also, we have to mention the food which was insane! We’ve had loads of people say it was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding (I don’t think there was a single crumb of crème brulee left anywhere!)
Thank you both so much for your help with setting up as well. The place just looked so beautiful – I was totally overwhelmed when I arrived so thank you for leading the suppliers and getting everything done so we could just chill and relax. And the effort that was made to ensure that the breakfast room was decorated and everyone ate together the next morning was such a lovely touch – it made the whole event feel extra special.
Basically, you totally made it for us and we feel incredibly grateful. I hope you both managed to chill and unwind a bit on the Sunday!
Hugest of thanks again,
Ruth & Liam xx

It's been a little while after our wedding now and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your team. You were brilliant! You were so helpful and attentive to us. You helped our guests and your team were fantastic in everything they did. The food was brilliant your burgers may have been the best ever.

We honestly cannot thank you and the Rockbeare staff enough! It was truly the best day of our lives! Everything flowed so smoothly and went off without a hitch! Every one of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue is, how incredible the food was and how fantastic the staff were and we agree one million percent!!
Thank you again! We are so grateful for everything you’ve done!
Kind regards,
Sam and Eilish Marker

Hope you’re well. I just wanted to send you a quick message to say a huge thank you for Friday. We had the best day and you were all
wonderful! Nothing was too much and you kept us calm and with a drink in hand all day! The whole team were fab. A couple of the guests also couldn’t speak highly enough of the girl who was on placement too!
We had so many compliments about the venue too and the food in particular. Rockbeare is just so stunning! Thank you for making sure our day ran perfectly.
Thank you so much again,
Rachel & Steve

We honestly had the day of our dreams! We still can’t talk about it without welling up haha! It was just truly magical! All of our guests have been talking about how beautiful the venue was, how relaxed the day felt and how everything flowed seamlessly, and of course how stunning the food was!!
You really made everything so special and we cannot thank you all enough for making what everyone is saying the best wedding they have ever been to!
All the best and many thanks,
Scott and Paige

We are only just starting to come down from what has been an absolutely incredible few weeks. The day itself was so amazing and we could not have wished for a better occasion. It went so smoothly, largely down to you and the team so thank you so very much for everything.

We were very grateful for all the advice offered which was an enormous help and if anyone is considering the venue we strongly recommend taking them up on their suggestions.
The venue, food and hospitality were perfect, we even had good weather allowing us to have canapes outside.
Thank you for the most perfect day at such a beautiful venue.
Mr & Mrs Edwards

You guys made it what it was, and we will be eternally grateful for your efforts, kindness and generosity. Everything you guys did for us was with grace.
Cameron and Johnny were brilliant aswell! Cameron really looked after the bridal party in the morning, he treated us all like princesses and couldn’t do enough for us, it was so lovely as a bride to feel like nothing was too much effort.
And of course it goes without saying, the help the lead up to the big day from Aimee, Helen and Jessica is also so appreciated and we are so grateful.
Hopefully we see you all again soon as someone’s wedding guests!
All the best to you all, the new Mr and Mrs Rees, Harriet and James xx

I just wanted to email to say a massive thank you to you and Cameron and all the staff that helped on Saturday.
We really had the best day ever!! You and Cameron were so attentive and so amazing we can’t thank you enough. We had a lot of guests comment on how friendly and helpful you both were and obviously we agree.
Thank you so much for making our day so so special and of course for all your help with everything, the whole set up looked perfect.
The food was also so so lovely!! Everyone really enjoyed it!
Couldn’t of wished for a better day.
We really hope we get to attend someone’s else wedding at Rockbeare Manor so we can visit the beautiful venue again :)
Thanks,
Becca & Ryan.





Where do we even begin... Rob and I cannot thank you, Helen, Cameron, Johnny and all of the team, enough for making our wedding day so special! Everything right from our first visit to Rockbeare Manor, until after breakfast the morning following the wedding, was just amazingly perfect.
The wedding day for us was completely stress free thanks to all of you. The team provided us with everything we needed, often before we even realised we needed it! You were always one step ahead of everything and we will be forever grateful.
It goes without saying that Rockbeare Manor is a beautiful building, but the staff are what really make it. You all worked so hard, and such long hours!! You made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble and you really went the extra mile to make us feel so special on our big day.
We definitely have to say a big thank you to the chefs, I’m sure all our guests will agree that the food was so delicious!! An extra thank you to Cameron for organising chicken burgers at 1am - so glad we didn’t miss out on those, they were out of this world!
So thank you again for being a part of our wedding day, it honestly was the best day ever! We wish we could do it all again. Hopefully we can be guests at another wedding at Rockbeare one day.
Best wishes
Becky & Rob x

Cameron - What can I say... You blew us away with your kindness, eagerness to make our day perfect and how much you cared for us. Nothing was a problem or too much trouble, you made us feel like we were the only 2 people in the world that mattered, we are really grateful you were involved in our day. You remained very calm considering how busy the bar was! A massive thank-you to you!
Davy was also a star and again nothing was a problem! He made us feel at ease and that everything was under control.
Food - We had a lot of compliments from our guests saying how amazing the food was, and we totally agree! Everything was so tasty and freshly made. The canapés were insane!
A lot of our guests have said its the best wedding they've ever been too - and this is all down to your amazing team!

Myself and Joe just wanted to say a massive thankyou to you and your team! You yourself looked after us from the very first meeting at the venue, all the way to our special day, and we can’t thankyou enough for that.
All our guest have said how amazing the staff were in looking after us all and making everything perfect!
A massive thankyou needs to go to Cameron, he made sure me and joe were always happy and had everything we needed! Nothing seemed like it was to much trouble! Excellent member of staff!
The food was so yummy! No one had a bad word to say about it and the burgers, guest were saying they have never had a burger that’s tasted so good!
Thankyou for excellent communication leading up to the wedding and making everything so calm and clear.
Once again, Thankyou very much and we will be recommending rockbeare at any given chance.
Regards, Mr & Mrs Coughlin.
