“I Do” to Orchardleigh: The Ultimate Wedding Venue in Somerset!
If you’re recently engaged (congrats, by the way!) and dreaming about the perfect fairytale wedding venue, then pop the champagne because you may have just found the one — and no, we’re not talking about your partner (although, they’re pretty great too!). Let’s talk about Orchardleigh Estate in Frome, Somerset — a slice of wedding paradise nestled in the heart of the English countryside.
Why Orchardleigh Estate Will Steal Your Heart 💕
Picture this: a sweeping driveway, deer grazing in the distance, a 500-acre estate dripping in romance, and not one but two jaw-dropping venues — Orchardleigh House and Elmhay Park. Whether you’re going for Gatsby glamour or countryside chic, this place has you covered.
And hey, if you’re planning to say “I do” here, you’ll want a photographer who knows the estate like the back of his camera. That’s where I come in — Michael Gane, your friendly neighborhood snap-happy wedding photographer at The FX Works, and proudly recommended by Orchardleigh Estate.
Let’s Break It Down: Two Dream Venues, One Epic Estate
Orchardleigh House – Classic Romance
This Victorian stately home is the stuff of bridal Pinterest boards. Think grand staircases, chandeliers, and period charm galore. You can even have a candlelit ceremony in the house chapel on its very own island. Yep, island.
Elmhay Park – Rustic Elegance
Elmhay Park is your go-to if you love the idea of a stylish, light-filled orangery surrounded by beautiful gardens. It’s airy, elegant, and ideal for couples who want to blend sophistication with a touch of rustic charm.
Did I mention that both venues offer exclusive-use? That’s right — no random golfers in the background of your vows. Just you, your guests, and the magic of Orchardleigh.
