About Orchardleigh House & Estate

Orchardleigh is a privately owned Estate nr Bath. Nestled at the heart of 500 acres of private parkland, Orchardleigh House offers the ultimate fairytale setting for your Wedding Day. Surrounded by beautiful countryside & gardens & golf course.

Exclusively yours and offering the grandeur of a traditional 19th Century Stately Home; from the elegant Ballroom that can hold up to 165 guests, to the cosy Morning Room, the impressive full sized Billiard room and the regal surroundings of the Great Hall, Orchardleigh welcomes you to use the spaces however you wish to create your perfect wedding day.

Orchardleigh House is fully licensed to hold Civil Ceremonies both inside and out, with the addition of two brand new outdoor ceremony areas in 2019. If you’re planning a more traditional service, there are two beautiful churches within the estate. Neither church requires you to be from the local parish to use the facility, so it is open to all. St. Mary’s Church is ideally located on its own private island. As there is no electricity supplied to the church's remote location, all wedding ceremonies are conducted purely by candlelight for a magical, romantic setting.

There is plenty of accommodation at Orchardleigh, for up to 85 guests, with 41 opulent rooms in the main House.

Orchardleigh offers its very own fleet of Wedding Transportation for hire on your big day, ranging from a Bentley Continental GTC to the Bell Longranger Helicopter & provides a dedicated team of wedding coordinators who will be on hand to help throughout the planning process and on your wedding day.

It was clear from the first visit that Orchardleigh House was the perfect choice for our wedding. It’s a magnificent venue with breath-taking views. All of the guestrooms are beautifully decorated, and we loved the fact we could have the entire house to ourselves which meant all of our guests could stay the night at the same place. The Lodges provided us the perfect way to celebrate the eve of our wedding with our closest and dearest.The staff at Orchardleigh were incredible. They were personable, caring, professional, thorough and always happy to help answer whatever questions or requests we had (and we had quite a few…). We had absolutely the best day of our lives thanks to Orchardleigh House and its wonderful staff. Thank you. :)

My husband and I married at Orchardleigh in January this year and I know that it is incredibly cliché, but I can honestly say it was the best day of our lives! Orchardleigh is such a truly magical place and we fell in love with stunning House and breathtaking grounds as soon as we arrived on our very first viewing and just knew it was the venue for us! Right from our very first viewing the staff at Orchardleigh were so helpful and friendly, guiding us through the Wedding planning process, right up to our Big Day. On the day of our Wedding, the staff really excelled themselves. Our coordinator was absolutely fantastic and everything ran so beautifully with absolutely no little hiccups at all (well if there were we certainly weren't aware of them!). The Waiting and Bar staff were fantastic - very attentive, friendly and nothing was too much trouble – plus they always ensured we had a full glass! Almost a year on and our guests still regularly talk of our Wedding Day and often tell us it was the best Wedding that they have ever been too - which is such a wonderful thing to hear and true testimony to the staff at Orchardleigh! We are incredibly grateful to all of the staff at Orchardleigh for making our Wedding Day so utterly magical and truly perfect!
