Stourhead is part of the National Trust and as such, we have a duty to look after, conserve our property so that it can be enjoyed by everyone for ever. When you book with us, the income we generate from the ceremonies and events stays at Stourhead and helps us to look after the property and the many conservation projects we undertake.

Stourhead was created with a 'painterly eye' and this means we have many locations for beautiful photography. The views across the lake as well as the Temple of Apollo are truly stunning for group images or why not head onto the bridge at golden hour for some couple shots.

The view from the Temple of Apollo is beautiful backdrop for group shots, with the Palladian Bridge offering truly special couple images or why not re-create the famous Pride and Prejudice scene by being Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy.

As a venue we are open throughout the year and the views are beautiful year round. We provide ceremonies from April to September to maximise these views and weather and each month has its own unique look and feel.

Whether you are looking for the first blossom and signs of Spring in April to the bright colourful blooms from the Rhododendrons over May and June to the first signs of Autumn colour in September. Each month will provide a spectacular backdrop to your ceremony within the gardens or house of Stourhead.

We have multiple locations for your ceremony onsite and we work with each couples tastes and group size to ensure the perfect location for them. Whether you are looking for a Jane Austen vibe at the Temple of Apollo or a classic Roman setting at The Pantheon or perhaps a small intimate cottage .... we have multiple choices each with stunning views year round.

As an environmental and conservation charity, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We encourage all of our couples to think sustainably and assist with idea's and proposals when needed.

As the venue, we are on a journey to become carbon neutral and look for sustainable options in everything we do. From all electric vehicles, and electric car charging points to sustainable local producers on our supplier list through to green energy and less waste where ever possible. We work with our couples to create a sustainable and beautiful wedding.

The property has been featured in several films over many years, but possibly the most famous is the scene where Elizabeth Bennett refuses Mr Darcy in the 2006 adaptation of Jane Austens, Pride and Prejudice. The scene was filmed at the Temple of Apollo and many couples choose to say their vows in the same location.
