a stunning hidden wedding haven in the heart of devon

Brickhouse Vineyard is a strong example of what a Devon wedding venue should be. I photograph weddings at Brickhouse Vineyard in Devon regularly, and it’s a venue I know well from shooting a wide range of weddings here over the years. It’s only about fifteen minutes up the road from me, which helps, but more than that, I’ve seen how the venue runs on a wedding day and how that has evolved as the place has grown. Being on their recommended supplier list has meant I’ve worked closely with the team and seen everything from small weekday ceremonies to full summer weddings, with a consistently high standard throughout.

What couples really get at Brickhouse Vineyard is space, quality, and a genuine sense of being away from everything. The barn conversions are finished to an extremely high standard without losing their character, and the setting really is the star of the show. You’re surrounded by rolling hills, vines, open fields and distant sea views, with the whole venue feeling tucked away and private. Because it’s exclusive use, it never feels shared or too busy. Even with a full guest list, it still feels like your own patch of Devon countryside.

A typical wedding day here runs smoothly because everything is contained on site. Guests arrive and are always impressed as they step onto the terrace, and ceremonies usually take place in the Round House. From there, drinks naturally spill back out onto the terrace overlooking the vineyard. Meals for bigger weddings are held in the main barn, which is long, bright and works well for relaxed, banquet style dining, before everyone moves back to the Round House for the evening party. Smaller weddings and elopements often stay centred around the Round House entirely, with the bar close by and no need to move far at all. Whether it’s a short celebration or a full day with up to seventy guests, the flow always feels easy, and that comes down to both the layout and the calm way the venue is run. There’s never a sense of being rushed. Because everything happens on site, there’s very little downtime or waiting around between parts of the day.

People make full use of the outdoor space here. The terrace becomes the heart of the day in good weather, especially for drinks, conversations and laughter. For quieter moments, guests drift through the vineyard, along the driveway or out into the surrounding fields. There’s plenty of room to step away briefly without disappearing completely, and that balance works really well. The venue suits relaxed daytime weddings just as much as lively evenings once the music starts and everything moves back inside.

From a photography point of view, Brickhouse Vineyard is very easy to work with. The Round House has strong natural light for ceremonies, the barn photographs well during speeches and meals, and the grounds give a lot of variety without needing to travel anywhere. Vineyard rows, country lanes, open hills, the terrace and the entrance driveway all work as backdrops.

I always factor in logistics and timings here because couples usually have a clear plan built with the Brickhouse team, and working closely with them means the day stays seamless and never feels hectic. I’ll either follow the couple’s preferences for their photos or, where helpful, suggest a short walk at the right moment to make the most of the light and surroundings.

This venue suits couples who want a true Devon countryside wedding and who enjoy being outdoors without having to rush between locations. Everything is close together but never feels tight, and you don’t need to leave the site to find strong locations for photos. The team are consistently calm, organised and welcoming, which sets the tone for the whole day. Brickhouse Vineyard is less suited to couples who want to stay indoors all day or are looking for a more urban or city-style setting.

Brickhouse Vineyard near Exeter, Devon continues to build on what it already does well. It’s a well-run, distinctive venue with easy flow and a setting that gives the day a genuinely special feel. Brickhouse Vineyard is as Devon countryside as it comes, working just as well for a big party as it does for an intimate elopement.
