About Hamswell House
Hire the romantic orangery and gardens of award-winning Hamswell House - The ultimate setting for your marquee wedding. With your wedding taking place in our Orangery or under our 400-year-old lime tree. You will be surrounded by acres of private land with breathtaking panoramic views. The venue is situated in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near Bath and Bristol and is under two hours from London.
The 18th Century orangery with its Cotswold stone roof and huge arch windows is a wonderful place to tie the knot or you can exchange your vows under the boughs of a 400-year-old lime tree.
After your marriage, you can celebrate with champagne and canapes on Hamswell House's amazing terrace. It has breath-taking panoramic views over the Cotswolds Area of Natural Beauty.
When you are ready, explore the garden with its pergola with the 200-year-old wisteria, the 18th Century ornamental canal with its clusters of waterlilies and Neptune fountain, the Monk's Window, and the Knot Garden. The garden is perfect for capturing memorable Instagrammable images of your special day.
After drinks and canapes, the bespoke marquee provides the perfect ambience for the party of a lifetime. You have had the day before to decorate it, so it is exactly as you want it.
Our recommended caterers will serve you whatever you desire. And as we do not charge corkage, the champagne and wine can flow without breaking the bank.
As night draws in, the band strikes up... It is time for the first dance...

FAQs
Yes, you have exclusive use of the venue for the entire duration of the event. We only hold one marquee wedding per weekend, so it really is exclusive.
Yes.
We have a wonderful location under a 400-year-old lime tree which is fabulous for outdoor ceremonies. We also have guests on the terrace outside the orangery.
We do not charge corkage for the entire event. Huge saving here!
We have four recommended caterers who have been very popular and much praised by couples, but if you want to use someone else you can for a supplement.
You can decorate the marquee the day before the wedding.
The music should stop at midnight and the guests depart by 1 am.
We ask that the band restricts the level of sound to 90 dB, which is a level that already causes hearing loss.
There is no accommodation, but there is plenty of excellent accommodation in all price ranges in the immediate area. The historic city of Bath is only ten minutes away.
We are in a rural location with horses, dogs and farm animals nearby so we do not allow fireworks apart from sparklers.
