Homme House is a Georgian-style country house with 16th-century roots, set within 200 acres of Herefordshire countryside. The estate encompasses the Main House, its 16th-century castellated wing, and an 18th-century Coach House. These are surrounded by 110 acres of historic parkland and 80 acres of woodland, offering an idyllic and private setting for a wedding.
Six acres of formal gardens frame the house, featuring the Main Lawn, Upper Lawn, Rose Garden, Bog Garden, and the two-acre Walled Garden, home to a Grade I listed 17th-century Summerhouse. The gardens offer seasonal beauty, from early spring snowdrops and wild daffodils to autumnal orchard fruits. Beyond the estate, views stretch to the Malvern Hills and Cotswolds.
Homme House is licensed for civil ceremonies both indoors and in the garden. Couples can choose from several spaces:
- Panelled Room (up to 80 guests): Georgian elegance with wood panelling, oak floors, and views of the gardens through full-length sash windows.
- Dining Room (up to 110 guests): With antique Chinese furniture and a chandelier, overlooking the gardens through a bay window.
- Hall (up to 25 guests): A more intimate option with a flying staircase backdrop.
- Summerhouse (up to 110 guests outside or 12 inside): A unique 17th-century space in the Walled Garden, perfect for outdoor ceremonies, accessed via a wisteria-covered pergola. The Upper Chamber offers vaulted ceilings and views of the Malvern Hills.
If the weather turns, ceremonies can move indoors with the decision made on the morning of the wedding. Church weddings are also available at the picturesque St. Bartholomew’s Church, a short walk from the house, and All Saints Church in Yatton.
The estate accommodates up to 80 guests for a non-marquee reception or 110-120 for a marquee celebration. Various garden spaces, including the Main Lawn, Upper Lawn, and Summerhouse Lawn, provide outdoor reception venues, while the Rose and Bog Gardens offer serene spots for guests to explore.
In case of poor weather, the reception can continue indoors in the Panelled Room, Hall, and Library, complete with cosy open fires. For evening celebrations, the venue hosts up to 120 guests, with dancing in the Panelled Room, evening food in the Dining Room, and space for relaxation in the Library. Outdoor spaces can also accommodate street food vendors.
Homme House offers accommodation for up to 34 guests across three areas:
- Main House: Nine bedrooms, including the Main Suite, a private wing with a four-poster bed and en suite bathroom. Eight further bedrooms accommodate 16-18 guests, along with a guest kitchen.
- Coach House: A short walk from the Main House, offering four en suite bedrooms and space for up to 12 guests. Ideal for separate wedding preparations.
- Summerhouse: A simple yet romantic option for May to September, featuring a four-poster bed and first-floor Drawing Room with panoramic views.
Guests can enjoy a continental breakfast in the guest kitchens on the morning of the wedding or a hearty cooked breakfast the following day in the Main Dining Room. All accommodation is reserved for wedding guests, offering flexibility for the couple to choose who stays on site.
At Homme House, couples have complete freedom to select their own caterers, with no in-house restrictions. This allows for a personalised menu tailored to their preferences, with recommendations and support available if needed.
Similarly, there are no mandatory drinks lists or corkage fees, giving couples the option to choose their own beverages. For those seeking a pay bar, a local supplier offers affordable prices.
Sustainability is at the heart of Homme House’s ethos, with eco-friendly initiatives in place across the estate:
- Low-energy LED lighting throughout the property.
- On-site food waste composting for use in the gardens.
- Eco-friendly toiletries and housekeeping supplies in all accommodation.
- Wedding-supported conservation ensures proceeds are reinvested in the ongoing restoration and preservation of the estate, which has been in the same family since the 1570s.
