Introduction

Thank you for considering us for your civil ceremony and drinks/canapes reception. Feel free to contact us with any queries or special requirements you may have. With upwards of 100 weddings a year, Devon's flagship venue will certainly be an unforgettable experience. So, whether it is a small intimate ceremony with close family and friends or a larger occasion, with the addition of a Marquette on the side of the Belvedere, offering views over Haldon Hill and the river Exe beyond, we would be happy to discuss with you what you would like on your special day. Vintage London Buses, Classic Cars, Horesedrawn Carriages, Helicopters, Harpists to Vocalists, Doves to Divas, Florists to Photographers, the Belvedere can advise on all of these and much more.

 

Waitress Service

Your chosen menu will be served to your guests after your marriage ceremony together with the drinks that you will have provided. Our waitress service is inclusive of the provision of tables, chairs, table linen, trays, glasses and corkage. We also provide catering for children if required.

The charge for waitress service is £1.95 per person for a standard 3 hour hire plus cost of any catering requirements. Additional hire period staffing charged at cost. A minimum charge of £40.00 applies.  

Ordering

Once you have decided on your choice of menu please contact me as soon as possible so that your chosen dedicated caterer may be booked. Likewise if you have any questions or queries do contact me. Vegetarian options available. Remember you do not have to order one cover per guest particularly if you are going on elsewhere for a later reception. Many couples will order for example one cover between two or three guests. Please, plan well ahead; it's amazing how quickly your wedding day arrives!  

Drinks

           Normally you will provide the drinks for us to serve to your guests or we can arrange that for you. Celebration flutes etched with a sketch of the Belvedere are available. Please make sure you have enough soft drinks for drivers and others who prefer not to have alcohol. We strongly recommend that you keep the selection of alcoholic drinks to a minimum and offer the following guidance from experience!- if it is sparkling all one type; if wine then red or white only; we can keep pre-chilled drinks cool but warm champagne from the back of a car can sometimes be a little explosive! As a guide 5 glasses per standard bottle. If your ceremony is during winter time why not offer your guests the infamous Belvedere Brew, our own warm mulled wine.

 

Please Note:

Prices are correct as at 1st January 2008. Costs and menus will be confirmed at the time you place your order and may be subject to change particularly where availability of local seasonal produce is concerned.
