- BB&R02/11/2024A Destination Wedding that's Closer to Home A Destination Wedding that's Closer to HomeWe celebrated our wedding here in Summer 2024 and we can honestly say it was the most beautiful and spectacular venue (slightly biased), we received endless compliments from people who lived both locally and farther afield. We used the Event Space rather than the boathouse which was fantastically set in the woods looking down over the beach. Kirsty was fantastically accommodating and always on hand to help out in the days leading up. The venue is stunning and a blank canvas so you can make it whatever you want to be. Kirsty has a list of recommended suppliers who know the site and those we interacted with were nothing short of fantastic. If you want a destination wedding that is slightly closer to home then we couldn't recommend Priory Bay enough.
