Walled garden and Orangery on the 500-acre Orchardleigh Estate · Frome, Somerset
No. 350 · Autumn 2026
Ceremonies in the gardens and the estate churches
A walled garden, Italian veranda and Victorian style orangery behind the woods of the Orchardleigh Estate near Frome, with churches and stays on the estate.
The four ceremony areas are the Italian Garden, the Fountain, the Bandstand and the Walled Garden. The Italian Garden ceremony is held on the veranda at the bottom of the garden, with atmospheric lighting and real olive trees. The Fountain and the Bandstand are set in the Walled Garden, and the Walled Garden aisle runs between its walls towards the Orangery and the Fountain. The ceremony location can usually be changed a couple of hours beforehand if the weather turns. For a church wedding, St Mary's stands on its own island on the estate, with no electricity, so services are candlelit and the organ is pumped by hand. All Saints Lullington has fine Norman stonemasonry, and St John's in Frome is a Grade I listed church.
The Orangery for the wedding breakfast and the party
The air conditioned Victorian style Orangery is used for the wedding breakfast, for dining and for breakfast the next day. It has built-in surround sound, and there are facilities for a DJ or a live band, so the same room serves for the speeches and for dancing. The standing reception capacity is up to 500 guests. The packages include a personal wedding coordinator and master of ceremonies.
