Mount Ephraim Gardens Full Description
Mount Ephraim offers a unique, classically romantic venue for your wedding or civil ceremony. From the spectacular views of the gardens and estate, to the elegant sweeping staircase leading into the main hall; where we often host ceremonies and receptions. At Mount Ephraim we can offer you a memorable and relaxed experience to make your big day extra special. We can accommodate ceremonies of up to 100 people in the house or garden. The manor house reception rooms offer seated wedding breakfasts for up to 100 guests, with room for a total of 175 evening guests. Or for larger wedding parties we can host receptions on our front lawn in a marquee, overlooking the stunning ten acres of gardens, with room for 250+ evening guests. We’re very flexible – if you’re looking for a traditional affair, there’s no better romantic setting. Or if you’re looking to explore arrangements a little more leftfield, we can accommodate you too. There is also never a wedding the day before or after your wedding, so you can relax, take your time and enjoy your moment! We also offer accommodation, from our spectacular Sir Edwyn Suite for the night of your wedding, to 4x other newly decorated B&B guest rooms, so you can wake up to the stunning views and setting, and all enjoy breakfast the morning after. Plus, you can also hire out our modern, country themed, self-catering Garden Wing, sleeping 12, offering you the chance to have more of your closest friends and family to stay over your wedding weekend. The estate has been owned by the Dawes family since 1695 and is still run by members of the family today. It’s this family touch that lends Mount Ephraim it's personal charm. Come and meet us, view the estate and find out how we can help create your dream wedding.

The grounds and interior were stunning
I do not have enough good things to say about Mount Ephraim as a venue and Lucy as our wedding coordinator. The grounds and interiors were stunning, and it was really special having the whole wedding party staying with us before and after the big day. The B&B catering was also very warmly received by all our guests. From start to finish, Lucy made us feel like everything was under control, expertly managing logistics while still maintaining a personal touch and a warm smile.

I would like to thank you immensely for the very happy wedding that we had on Saturday. Your guidance, caring and professional help was amazing. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the catering staff were so efficient. Lovely young people. All the guests have said that it was the best wedding ever attended and the most beautiful venue too.

The house is phenomenal
Thank you so much! Everyone we encountered was absolutely fantastic! We felt so well looked after but also free to roam and sort things out at our own pace. The house is phenomenal as well and we had so many nice comments about our choice of venue.

Magical Venue!
What an incredible venue! From booking our wedding with Lucy, and arranging visits during the ease of lockdown measures, right up to the morning after the big day; Mount Ephraim was the perfect venue for our wedding and Lucy and the team were amazing. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the grounds & house are, as well as the incredible food supplied by Scott Anderson Catering. Lucy made arranging the fine details of our day so easy and stress-free. She really made us feel at home and looked after, in order to have the most perfect day. Surrounded by our loved ones and friends, our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more. Our first dance in the reception room by the stairs was a moment we will never forget - surrounded by our loved ones, singing & dancing together. It truly is a wonderful atmosphere in the main house and the gardens during the summer evening was beautiful. From a very family orientated background, Mount Ephraim and all of its staff feel like (and some are!) one huge family. The bedrooms are beautiful and the bridal party loved their stay on the night of our wedding - even getting a glimpse of the Classic Car Show out on the front lawns the next morning - what a treat! Breakfast in the Tea Rooms was superb and the team were incredible at catering for our guests with allergens and the younger guests (Thank you Sophie & Elliot!). The venue were so supportive and we were able to have sparklers at the end of the night & our live band fit in perfectly by the dance floor. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much to all the staff at Mount Ephraim for giving us a magical wedding- we look forward to coming back to visit on our anniversary in the future!

everyone said how beautiful the venue was
Thank you for everything and for your kindness throughout the whole 2 years of planning and letting us use your family home. It was such a wonderful day and everyone said how beautiful the venue was. And dance floor was still big enough to do all the Greek dancing! We will be back for our anniversary next year.

Perfect Wedding Venue
We got married at Mount Ephraim in July 23, and it was truly everything we could have hoped for - and more! Mount Ephraim is a really special place, and Lucy guided us through the whole process of booking our big day seamlessly. The venue itself is beautiful, with plenty of accommodation and set up options. We used the caterers that came with the venue - who again we couldn’t fault and even a couple of the recommended suppliers who were also brilliant. Honestly couldn’t recommend a more special place to host a wedding. Thank you to Lucy & everyone at Mount Ephraim - we have the best memories of our day.
