About Kingston Estate Totnes

The Kingston Estate is Devon's ultimate country house destination wedding venue for up to 250 guests. The venue is a hidden gem nestled deep in the South Hams countryside near Totnes in South Devon. The estate is luxurious, relaxed and informal, where couples and guests are encouraged to make the 35 acres their home for the duration of their stay. It can sleep up to 100 guests on-site in luxury cottages and barns, plus they have a late music licence until 3 am in their super cool vaulted club. The Kingston Estate ticks all the boxes for couples looking for a stunning exclusive-use venue that can provide first-class accommodation for all their guests, along with top-notch service for food and drink. A favourite of many of the UK's most discerning and stylish couples looking for a country venue in Devon. Facilities and Capacity The estate is Georgian, with the mansion house having been built in 1735. It boasts high ceilings, marble fireplaces, original wall paintings and a vaulted basement where you can party until the early hours. The grounds include two stunning south-facing walled gardens, one perfect for your wedding ceremony and one for eating alfresco-style. On the estate, there is also a huge party yurt, a cool street food shed, a rustic ceremony barn with eight chic chandeliers, a courtyard cocktail bar for a festival feel vibe along with an Italian Walled Garden for drinks or eating alfresco style with up to 250 guests. They also have the Hayloft Barn, big enough for 200 guests, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside. The accommodation on site has been thoughtfully renovated with tasteful interiors, original features, and meticulous attention to detail. The main house, cottages and barns sleep up to 100 guests in total, making it a comfortable retreat in which to reside whilst enjoying every moment of the big event. The team can also provide a bell tent or yurt village for additional guests on site. There are also hot tubs scattered here and there and plenty of parking available on-site, along with an overflow car park. Services Offered The Kingston Estate is an exclusive wedding party venue with a difference. Its Georgian splendour features classic decor, the food and drinks are eclectic, and by the evening, it transforms itself into a super cool venue hidden deep in the Devon countryside. Whether you want a black tie event, a festival feel or a rustic wedding, they can offer it all, as every one of their events is bespoke. The weddings and events team will coordinate your wedding day or weekend. The estate has an excellent reputation for food, with mouth-watering flavours, quality dishes and flawless delivery. They are committed and passionate about food and its provenance, opting for organic and seasonal ingredients, wherever possible, sourced from local farms and suppliers who support sustainable and environmentally-friendly initiatives. Not because it is trendy and cool but because that's what they want to serve, respecting the nutrients and integrity of the food that nourishes them. Drink is of equal importance at Kingston. All of their drinks are created with the same attention to detail and balance of flavours to perfectly combine and create beautifully tasting cocktails, unforgettable weddings and lasting memories. To ensure your day runs without a hitch, Kingston Estate will assign you a member of their wedding team, leaving you with plenty of time to savour your time here. Regarding the wedding feast, the well-respected in-house catering team is ready to work with you to craft a personalized menu that speaks volumes. From pre-wedding street-style food to the day-after breakfast stations, they can tailor their local, seasonal produce to suit your preferences. Additionally, the estate's bar manager can create a bespoke drinks package for your day, including a signature wedding cocktail. If you would like to hold a pre-wedding event, no matter if it's a pizza extravaganza in The Big Yurt, games on the lawn, or a pamper night in the cottages, the team can help take care of it all. The Kingston Estate is situated a ten-minute drive from Totnes, where there are trains running to and from Paddington every hour. There is also easy access to Exeter and Plymouth, both approximately 40 minutes away by car.

Our perfect wedding weekend!July 2026

5.0

We honestly cannot thank Jodie and the whole Kingston team enough for the most perfect wedding weekend. From the very first viewing to the farewell Sunday breakfast, everything was magical. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, with immaculate gardens, cozy cottages, stunning barn conversions and a jaw dropping main house. A walled garden, dining marquee, circus tent yurt, and basement nightclub complete the astounding options on offer (all of which we used! ) Together it made us feel like we were hosting a festival or reunion party as well as an amazing celebration of love. Each space gave us the most incredible photos and joyful bridal party and guest experience. But what truly sets it apart is the staff. Drinks are served by smiling hosts, as behind the scenes transitions happen without anyone noticing. It’s incredible! Jodie is relaxed, accommodating and unflappable,nothing is too much trouble and she ensures every detail happens seamlessly. We were happy to take her advice and she preempted our every whim and made the entire lead-up completely stress-free. On the day, it felt like we truly owned the whole estate, there are so few rules but everything ran with guided precision, whilst feeling entirely relaxed and natural. It was the hottest weekend of the year but Jodie subtly adjusted speeches and timings to keep the guests in the shade and drinks flowing. Days earlier we’d also found England was in the World Cup quarter finals and, undaunted, Jodie set up a beautiful barn as a late night viewing option for some of the guests. And guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. The burrata starter, pasta course and chicken were exceptional and the abundance of dishes at every offering was astounding. Guests will NEVER be hungry here!The guest rooms were beautifully presented and 92 family and friends stayed for 42 hours and had the most perfect mini break. The views and scenery and seclusion are heavenly. Another 40 guests joined us for the whole of Saturday and were equally blown away by the venue. We truly wish we could do it all over again and would not hesitate to recommend this incredibly special place. Top tip - Do use Kingston’s book of recommended vendors to start your research. Despite being based in London we found it so helpful to be guided on local contacts and found our baker, musicians, makeup artists, florists, and photographers who knew the venue well and what worked best. Utilize the expertise of these tried and tested collaborations and th

Choosing Kingston Estate for our wedding weekend was without a doubt the best decision we made. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning grounds, the magical atmosphere, and the seamless experience created by Jodie and the entire team. They went above and beyond in every way, making us feel genuinely cared for, taking every detail into account, and ensuring the entire weekend flowed effortlessly. Jodie is a true professional, and always remains attentive and calm. Her and the team created a space where we could truly relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in the best possible hands. The entire weekend felt like a dream come true. Our guests were truly overwhelmed at how incredible t

Kingston Estate was THE most incredible venue for our wedding celebrations. We had a big ask, looking for a multi day celebration of multiple cultures and nothing was ever too much for Jodie, Jamie and the team! We fell in love with the venue the first time we saw it and received so many compliments from all our guests on how beautiful it truly is. When planning your wedding it’s super easy to feel like it’s an excuse for suppliers to charge an arm and a leg and give you little in return, but working with Kingston Estate felt like a true partnership! I had the most incredible weekend of my life and it would not be anywhere near half the success without the team, in the organisation to the millions of requests over the weekend they helped us all to accommodate. Special shout out to Jodie for speaking in the language of a stressed out bride and really ensuring our vision came to life. I cannot recommend Kingston

If you’re looking for a magical venue for your wedding with the support of the best staff you could ever wish for, Kingston is for you. We held our wedding at the end of August 2025 across 2 days. We had over 60 guests travel from the South East and Midlands down to Devon to join our celebrations. The brilliant people at Kingston looked after everybody effortlessly from the moment they arrived to the moment they left. The professionalism was incredible, the friendliness unmatched, the effort magnificent. The team were led by Jodie who is just brilliant at what she does. The whole 2 days was beautifully or

When I first enquired with Kingston I thought it would be too expensive but we explained what are budget was and when we wanted to get married and they put a quote together that was affordable. We have just had the most amazing one day wedding which didn't finish until the early hours. We got married in the Long Barn where there are chandeliers running down the middle, it was very romantic. There is this nightclub at Kingston which is very cool which everyone loved. The guests all said the venue was stunning and the food was out of this world. A few of us stayed the night before and most of our guests stayed the night of the wedding

We recently had a two day wedding at the Kingston Estate. All our guests were completely blown away by it. Most of our friends and family had traveled far for the weekend and were not disappointed when then arrived as the cottages and barns are gorgeous. Some even have hot tubs. Jodie and the Weddings Team organised a welcome party for the first night which was unreal along with providing street style food for everyone around 8.30 pm. At Kingston they have this really cool enormous Yurt and food hut which is used the day before the wedding and for breakfast. On the wedding day itself we got married in the Walled Garden and there were endless canapes during the drinks reception. We then decided to eat in the Hayloft Barn which has glass windows overlooking all the gardens. We used the clear span marquee for our reception party and had the craziest cover band before we all went into the nightclub until 3 am. The good thing about Kingston is everything is included they let you use things like cake stands, easels, knifes, speakers, microphones, all furniture at no extra cost, they set everything up for you and then clean up afterwards.

We recently had the most magical wedding at Kingston. From the moment we set foot onto the grounds, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. It was our first viewing… and nothing else compared for us (we saw a total of 6 venues). What stood out to us the most was the variety of spaces available for each part of the day. The selection of ceremony areas, the beautiful outdoor spots for photos, the yurt for the night before party, and a special one for us… the underground nightclub for the evening! As party lovers, this was a part that sold it for us; there was somewhere for every moment. One of the things we loved most was the flexibility to personalize every aspect of our wedding. The venue truly felt like a blank canvas that we could transform into our dream setting, but equally, we got away with doing absolutely nothing as it was beautiful all on its own. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible staff, led by Jodie. They were not only professional and attentive but also genuinely warm and welcoming. Their support and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our day. We're hoping to return and stay in the future, for a special occasion. It's not just a we

The venue was great we had a few personal health issues beforehand but the team went above and beyond to make the day extra special. The wedding planner organised everything for us and they had plenty of props on site that we were free to use. We had the whole place to ourselves for the weekend it was brilliant and our friends loved the hot tub and pool.

The venue and staff were brilliant from start to finish. The venue is really multi-functional and caters for rain or shine. The weather was really unpredictable around the time of our wedding but I was a stress free bride knowing they had it in hand. The food supplier was stunning - we had a weekend package which all the guests raved about. That coupled

Our 3-day wedding celebrations were spent at the STUNNING Kingston Estate - a truly unique venue that we absolutely fell in love with. It had EVERYTHING we were looking for & more. The grounds are perfectly manicured all year round & come complete with walled garden. The cottages & main house are beautifully decorated, providing luxurious accommodation

Such a beautiful venue - we loved it so much. The food was incredible and despite having a changeover of wedding planner close to the wedding day, it had no impact on our day
