Description
Congratulations! Welcome to Mompesson House located in the historical Cathedral Close in Salisbury. The welcoming and homely townhouse which many families have called home since it was built in 1701, provides a peaceful yet elegant backdrop for your ceremony. Looking out onto The Close and Salisbury Cathedral, the Georgian property is both grand and tranquil with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests can arrive via the front doors and mingle pre-ceremony in the beautiful garden or explore the other rooms and history behind the property. The house was used for the filming of Sense and Sensibility with Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant as the 'Dashwoods' London residence and many of the rooms are very recognisable from the film. Owned by the National Trust, and operated by the experienced events team who work across Mompesson and our sister property Stourhead. When you book your wedding with the team you are helping to look after and preserve this beautiful property for generations to come. We are licensed for ceremonies throughout the whole property, including the beautiful garden which is at its best in the summer months. Specialising in intimate mid-week ceremonies, our dedicated team understand that you want your day to be personal to you and delight in making your dreams a reality. Whether that's a garden ceremony followed by a cream tea in the garden or in one of the gorgeous rooms inside the house. We look forward to welcoming you to Mompesson and making your ceremony one you will cherish forever.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Always ask your venue to hold your date and check with your county registrars / celebrant before making the booking. You never want to be a position where you have booked the venue but cannot get a registrar or celebrant to conduct the vows!

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
This depends on who you ask in the team! The staircase makes a fabulous backdrop for both couple and group shots. The garden in high summer cannot be equalled for the herbeacous borders and tree canopy as well as the wisteria covered pergola. Equally the bedrooms with the views across the close to the cathedral also make a fabulous shot if in poor weather.
