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.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Mount Ephraim Gardens?
All of our weddings are truly wonderful and each is unique to the couple, but for me, my own wedding was the best! I got married in the gardens back in 2005 and had a marquee reception on the front lawn for around 150 guests. It was the most magical day and to get married at my family home surrounded by my friends and family was the icing on the cake - or the profiteroles actually as we didn't have a wedding cake!!
