As one of the most romantic locations in Somerset, Charlton House is an idyllic setting for your perfect wedding day.
We are proud to be an Exclusive Wedding Venue, meaning when you book Charlton House for your Wedding Day, it becomes your very own home for the most intimate and spectacular Wedding. With full run of the Hotel, Grounds & Spa it ensures total privacy for all of your Friends & Family.
The 18th-century style Orangery is perfect for the whole day, from the ceremony to the evening reception. The self-contained building has its own private entrance, a large foyer, and boasts views across the gorgeous grounds. However, we suggest using the Orangery for your Ceremony, enjoying your drinks reception in our stunning grounds or in bad weather the Foyer or Lounges, enjoy your Wedding Breakfast in the Conservatory Restaurant and then return to the Orangery to dance the night away.
We have 28 well-appointed, individually design bedrooms, including a spectacular Bridal Suite, to accommodate you and your overnight guests. This also includes a delicious breakfast the following morning, and time to enjoy the spa until 1pm.
For more information, or to arrange a show around, please contact our events team.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Charlton House - Shepton Mallet - Somerset?
There have been so many beautiful and individual weddings that it would be impossible to chose.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Ask lots of Questions. There is no need to wait until you have a meeting with your Wedding Co-ordinator, ask lots of questions as soon as they pop into your head. The more you can plan in advance the less stress nearer the big day.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
I love personalised favours. Particularly things like tiny pot plants, they bring colour to the table and the guest can take them home and continue enjoying them for months to come and everytime they look back at them they will remember your special day.
