featured venue: mapperton house, nr beaminster, dorset

26/1/2016

0 Comments

 
Oakleaf Marquees has been the preferred supplier at Mapperton (declared the nation's finest manor house by Country Life) since 2012. 

Brought to worldwide attention recently thanks to the lush adaptation of Thomas Hardy's 'Far from the Madding Crowd', Mapperton is a glorious sandstone Jacobean manor house set in a romantic Italianate valley garden deep in a lost Dorset combe among tumbling hills and unspoiled countryside.

If you're looking for a classic romantic English wedding we can think of no better venue in Dorset. The croquet lawn is perfectly flat for marquees and we've provided all styles of structure there in the past: traditional pole marquees for country style, clearspan frame marquees for elegant chic and tipis for a warm and cosy ambience.

Photo opportunities are vast with views everywhere you look plus topiary, archways tangled with flowers, water features, mature trees and secret grottoes. 

Civil marriages can take place either in the Garden Pavilion overlooking the croquet lawn (for which we can supply canopies and chairs) or in the nearby Sawmill. The medieval All Saints Church is within the grounds and suited to intimate blessings for up to 90. Marquees on the croquet lawn can accommodate up to 400 seated guest and there is ample parking available. 

Mapperton is located 15 minutes from Crewkerne and 20 minutes from Dorchester Stations, with direct links to London. There is tasteful accommodation nearby too with the Acorn Inn and Summer Lodge in Evershot and The Bridge House Hotel at Prout Bridge. 

Recommended caterers are Jo Killin of Oxbridge Farm and Victoria Blashford-Snell. The recommended florist is The Real Cut Flower Garden and photographers Allister Freeman and Helen Lisk.
