Your Perfect Wedding

Picture a stunning reception with your family and friends in our large Dining Room, a beautiful space for a relaxed three course dinner.  This room also opens out onto the patio of one of Exeter’s best kept secrets, our secret garden. You could then lead your party downstairs into our stylish, bare brick walled Cellar Bar for the ultimate celebration that no one will forget.

Whether you want a DJ, live band or your own personalised playlist, we can cater for it all.  Our space is completely private, offering friendly bar staff, delicious party platters and a beckoning dance floor.  No one will be left nursing a drink in the corner on your special night!

With our 20 boutique bedrooms upstairs, why not spend the day getting ready with your bridal party, having some pictures and bubbles outside in the secret garden.  Then when you are well and truly danced-out, you only have to go upstairs to rest your weary head!

Perfect wedding venue

Our guests said they were completed wowed by the inside and the decor!  Those who stayed over also loved the bedrooms & the extra little touches like the port and fudge!

The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and attentive and helpful throughout the day and night!

Loved everything about my day!

Everything about my day was perfect, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff at the City Gate.  The venue is beautiful, the food was delicious and the secret garden was sooo beautiful on a hot summer’s night
