The Lost Orangery on the edge of the Cotswolds is set within 500 acres of spectacular private grounds boasting enchanted woodland, a beautiful valley and boating lake, all bound by a crumbling castle. This exclusive manor house in Wiltshire is a spectacular wedding venue certain to impress wedding guests by exuding a special blend of grandeur, heart and soul. Why would you say 'I do' anywhere less?
The Venue: This unique luxury self-catering property near Bath and Castle Combe in Wiltshire harbours an inspiring history nestled within the grounds of Sir Walter Raleigh's old hunting lodge.
Today this impressive venue offers a spectacular location for hosting weddings that dreams are made of. The grounds at The Lost Orangery were imagined by Julian and Isabel Bannerman who have transformed this English country estate into something quite spectacular that wouldn't look out of place in a scene from Alice in Wonderland. Just imagine the photographs!
In and Around the Grounds: Carefully pruned topiary, trickling fountains, faultless lush green lawns and fragrant rose gardens offer a bevy of tempting choices for where to hold the perfect bespoke wedding within this sprawling estate. Wedding guests will take delight in exploring the maze of gardens and sun-drenched terraces, whilst a genteel afternoon tea or vintage-inspired picnic on the lawn creates an elegant country wedding with a difference.
The Ceremony: With several areas licensed for marriages and civil partnerships around the grounds of this exclusive wedding venue including a beautiful cloister, archway and portico, lovebirds can take their pick! The thatched boat house makes a stunning setting for lakeside ceremonies, perhaps with a garland laden with fragrant blooms to frame the romance. Maybe you will choose a tropical boho vibe and say 'I do' in the orangery, bathed in the glow of twinkling chandeliers and candlelight surrounded by your nearest and dearest. For a traditional ceremony, there is a pretty village church close by in Colerne and another in Castle Combe.
Reception: Whether you dream of a simple string quartet to serenade your guests out on the lawn, or a rousing folk band to get everyone on their feet, the possibilities at The Lost Orangery are bound only by your imagination. Invite up to 250 guests to help celebrate your special day; spill out onto the terrace for canapes and martinis before enjoying a sit down banquet in the marquee. Smaller parties up to 40 guests might prefer the intimacy of supper in the botanical orangery embellished with dripping chandeliers.
The Accommodation: There are two en suite bedrooms off the beautiful orangery, each with a four poster bed and a deep roll top bath tub. One bedroom has an overhead shower, the other a monsoon shower; both invite couples to enjoy the first few nights of married life unwinding and enjoying some blissful 'us' time after the whirl of the big day itself.
Practicalities and Pricing: A minimum three night stay is required for all weddings at The Lost Orangery. In addition to standard rental charges, a venue hire fee of £2500 will apply for up to 50 guests and £3000 for up to 100 guests. Please note this is for the extensive grounds only. For parties larger than this a bespoke price can be discussed. There is ample parking for several cars within the estate. We can recommend local caterers on request (catering is at an additional cost). A marquee and portable toilets are required for weddings of more than 50 guests. This is subject to an additional charge and should be arranged directly with a marquee company. Those who do not wish to hire a marquee are welcome to hire the ball room at an additional cost of £2500.
