The Garden Pavilion, The Orangery or Garden Grotto for your ceremony, is located on the main lawn overlooking their stunning valley garden
Stunning rustic barn for your indoor ceremony, if preferred
The Orangery for your drinks reception, which sits at the top of the garden with its pools, statuary and magnificent topiary
The medieval All Saints Church, which dates back to the 12th century, for blessings with up to 85 guests
The converted 17th-century Coach House for your wedding breakfast and party, with its exposed beams, original stonework and full-height ceilings

Testimonials

We wanted to thank you especially, plus everyone at Mapperton, for facilitating our day. Your flexibility and patience in the lead up was very much appreciated, plus how pragmatic and kind you were on the day… it honestly made such a difference. The Coach House and Mapperton in general is such a beautiful venue. The consistent comments we have had from all our friends and family are ‘lovely dress, amazing photos, gorgeous venue’. So I’m delighted with that!

I would have no hesitation recommending Mapperton Estate for your upcoming wedding. We had our wedding in July this summer and it was an absolute Fairytale. The venue is stunning and I couldn’t have been happier with my overall experience before and during. I would suggest that if you do book your wedding that you would book the cottage along with it. It was an absolute game changer having that space the night before and the day of. Not to mention, it was beautiful as well! I wish I could already repeat this day!

After few false starts thanks to the pandemic, we finally had our wedding in Mapperton! The mapperton team were lovely and flexible over dates. The venue is absolutely stunning and all the guests loved the garden and having the flexibility to roam and explore during canapés. This is a unique venue and would recommend anyone wanting to create a special day here.

A truly one-of-a-kind place that we were incredibly lucky to have our wedding at. Not only is Mapperton stunning but it has a wonderful team there as well who were amazing in helping us put everything together for a really special day. Has to be seen, and an unbeatable wedding venue.

We had the most amazing day thank you. You both worked so hard and we really appreciate all of your help and advice given on the run up to the wedding. Everything was perfect! Of course the venue is absolutely stunning and everyone commented on your beautiful gardens.

Holly & Calen

Thank you to the team at Mapperton for making our recent wedding so special. It is a truly beautiful venue and so peaceful – a real hidden gem and a lucky find for a small, intimate ceremony. The perfect venue for our perfect day!

Mapperton is not only the most beautiful setting with their stunning gardens and gorgeous Coach House but it allows you to have the day you dream of!

Their thorough communication, professionalism and calm manner gives you the confidence to relax and fully enjoy your day. Being adaptable and understanding throughout Covid and other situations such as the weather, created an easy lead up to the day and with experienced staff you’re able to trust them with any task! The options for where to get married is one of the best parts with so many lovely little places to choose from. The gardens themselves are so peaceful we immediately felt calm when visiting which we knew would be a lovely addition for the day. Although most of the pictures show the gardens on a sunny or dry day, it absolutely chucked it down with rain on our day but we can honestly say it didn’t matter. The ceremony was held in the coach house and the additional marquee meant we had somewhere for our guests to enjoy the reception drinks. When the rain calmed down just a tad, they were able to quickly pop out with their umbrellas to see the gardens which still looked incredible!

We honestly couldn’t recommend Mapperton enough!

Thank you for helping us create the most perfect day! Mapperton is the most idyllic place and we truly got the ‘secret garden’ wedding I’d dreamt of! Everything was just perfect we have so many wonderful memories we will treasure forever!

The Lewis’

We had the most beautiful day at Mapperton and it was all possible due to the great staff and facilities. They were extremely flexible and kind during the worries of whether or not we’d be able to hold the wedding on the original date due to covid. We also keep getting compliments on both the stunning location and the food from our wedding even weeks later – so it left a lasting impression on guests!
