Country Wedding Venues in Somerset

Brad and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding at St Audries Park. From the very first viewing and chat with Sally and Alice, through to our planning meeting with Becci, and right up to the day before and our wedding day itself, the entire experience was seamless and genuinely 5‑star. The venue is simply a dream—absolutely stunning in every way—and the staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and efficient. Every detail was taken care of, which made the whole experience feel effortless and stress‑free. We chose to book the day‑before party and accommodation, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our guests absolutely loved having extra time to relax, connect, and celebrate together (and we loved turning the “big day” into a three‑day event!). The Bride and Groom cottage, complete with a hot tub, was such a special treat the night before and added to the magic of the whole weekend. The food was superb—so much so that even our very fussy Italian guests were full of compliments for the British cuisine. If you can impress Italians with food, you know you’re doing something right! Across the three days, everyone had an amazing time and kept telling us how incredible everything was. On the wedding day itself, a huge thank you to Becci and the team, who ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We felt completely at ease, able to enjoy every moment without any stress. Our only complaint is that it all went by way too quickly! To all newly engaged couples: if you’re dreaming of a flawless, romantic, and genuinely stress‑free wedding, we cannot recommend St Audries Park highly enough. Just be warned—you’ll wish you could do it all over again!

The MOST stunning venue for our wedding. It was so beautiful, and we were looked after every step of the way, and on the day, by Rupert and his team. We are so grateful to Hamswell House for everything they’ve done for us.

We just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for making our wedding day so incredible! From the first moment Josh and I drove on to the estate and Heather showed us around the incredible location we knew this was our wedding venue! The 3 day wedding package was simply perfect! It was a lovely addition to have the day before to celebrate and relax with our family - followed by a perfect wedding day and the additional night for Josh and I gave us the perfect ending! Elmhay is such a beautiful place for a wedding, the grounds are absolutely stunning, the different sections make for a day that just flows so well! A little shout out to the staff at the Peacock the night before - the food was absolutely incredible, the service perfect and all the guest who chose the steak have commented on it being better than many steak houses they have been to! Even though the standards were set high, the staff and Carl exceeded this on the wedding day! The service and food were impeccable! Every dietary was catered for without any fuss or stress and the whole wedding breakfast and evening food ran so seamlessly! We could not fault it! Thank You!! Melvin - our brilliant coordinator on the day. You were very relaxed, organised and nothing was too much. This is exactly what you need to keep the day running perfectly. Thank you Melvin! And to the bar staff - you were a great addition to our wedding, you matched the atmosphere and brought the party vibes - it was like having 2 extra guests! All our friends and families have complemented you both so thank you! We had THE BEST wedding and I would highly recommend Elmhay as a perfect wedding venue, with a great atmosphere, beautiful setting and a wonderful wedding team!

When we went to view the venue we were amazed at how lovely the house and the grounds were. We thought that it would be completely over our budget. When we left and got the estimate for what we wanted sent to us we were so surprised how affordable it was. We stayed 2 nights and had a family meal the night before. The staff were amazing, so welcoming and nothing was an issue. The food was incredible, people are still talking about it a month later. Charlie was our co-ordinator and he was spot on! Even trying to organise my crazy family to be in the right place at the right time. 100% recommend!

We held our wedding at Hestercombe, hosted by the amazing Stables team. All I can say is our day was 100% perfect start to finish - Courtney has been fabulous throughout and no request was ever an issue. We felt like we really got to make the day our own and all our guests had nothing but praise for the service, food, and flow of the day. The wedding breakfast was above and beyond your typical bland wedding food, we are so impressed at the quality being produced on such a large scale. Small touches and behind the scenes seamlessness are what made the day. We would 100% recommend.

The setting; a beautiful Elizabethan manor farm in the depths of the somerset levels, surrounded by fields, woods and nature. The marquee sits in one of 4 magnificent gardens, all expertly maintained with fruit trees and wild borders. The marquee, hired in from a local provider, is a sturdy canvas and wood structure with various options depending on the number of guests. There are many additions you can make and options to choose from, but with atmospheric lighting and rustic tables it creates a wonderful canvas reminiscent of traditional times for you to add special personalisation’s to. The ‘potting Shed’ acts as a quiet space for guests and also doubles as a bar. This has a great barn vibe with antique and rustic accessories everywhere – not to mention the higgledy-piggledy structure of the ancient building! Wedding party accommodation consists of a wing of the building with modern fittings balanced with traditional original features. Two glamping pods are available in the woodland which are at the top end of glamping quality with comfortable facilities, wood fired hot-tubs and amazing views across the somerset levels. I would highly recommend booking these out as they contribute to a purely special experience. There is so much room for accessorising with your own additions to make it special to your big day. The host; Alice is truly exceptional. Initially when we were scoping out different venues, we noticed how Midelney stood out for its setting, but also more importantly for Alice and how she approached hosting our big day. Initially sitting us down to learn about us, where we came from over a cup of tea, she then asked about what we wanted from the day, all whilst taking detailed notes. You would’ve thought this standard among venues, but Alice was the only one who really excelled in this aspect. Once we decided (which was a very easy decision), Alice sent us everything we needed in order to plan for our day. This included everything from caterers to make-up and hair recommendations, to information to send guests on accommodation, taxis etc. It was so comprehensive, we managed to sort out everything in a week leaving the rest of the years planning free of stress and worry. Our wishes were met in every aspect with every request or intention being met with a problem solving mind. Alice hosted a small wedding fayre for us to attend with other couples getting married at Midelney. Here she invited her most recommended wedding providers (photographers, caterers, make-up, stationary etc.) for us to sample their work and meet various providers before committing to their services. This was particularly helpful for photographers (who I think are very important to meet before hire) and for wedding stationary and florists, where we were able to hold and see their products. This event was very helpful, particularly as you knew that these providers were hand selected from years of trusted work with Alice. Also in the lead up the big day, We occasionally met with Alice, or received e-mails from her to check on our progress, but more importantly to see if she could help solve anything we were have difficulty with (which she often did). I want to stress that Alice’s help in the organisation phase significantly helped make the preparations calm, easy and to our requirements. Then came the big day where Alice was on hand for anything and everything. Expertly managing not being too present, and being there exactly when you needed her. Helping anyone and everyone to keep the day going and keep the guests comfortable and solving issues immediately. It all contributed to a perfect day and just how we wanted it, for which we will be forever grateful of the part Midelney and Alice played.

The Wedding Venue of Our Dreams Absolute Perfection! ⭐ Choosing this stunning country house for our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made. The estate itself is absolutely beautiful, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible team. The staff were absolutely amazing from start to finish they had a "say yes to everything" attitude that made the entire planning process and the big day completely stress-free. A massive, heartfelt thank you to Rylene, who is exceptionally talented! The decorations she put together were breathtaking and captured our vision perfectly. On top of her incredible eye for design, she was so sweet and kind, checking in on me throughout the day to ensure I was doing well and had everything I needed. As an added bonus, we got to use the beautiful pool and spa the next day, which was the ultimate way for us and our guests to unwind and recover after dancing the night away. If you want a breathtaking venue with a team that goes above and beyond to make your day perfect, look no further!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had the most incredible day at Brympton House. The team were professional, warm and completely on top of everything, which meant we could just relax and enjoy it. Everything ran seamlessly from start to finish.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. From the moment we first visited 3 years ago!! We know it was something special, but the actual day exceeded every expectation. The setting itself was stunning and created such a beautiful atmosphere for both our ceremony and reception. Our guests are still talking about how lovely everything looked and how smoothly the day flowed!! We couldn't have done it without the amazing team, especially Rachel & Jodie. They were incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Every detail was handled seamlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. The organisation, communication and support throughout the planning process was outstanding. No question was too small, and they always made us feel confident and reassured. We are so grateful for everyone involved for helping create such an unforgettable day. We would wholeheartedly reccomend this venue to any couple looking for somewhere truly special to celebrate their wedding day x
