A UNIQUE VENUE Hamswell House is a historic manor house on its own estate. It has an orangery
and picturesque walled gardens and is surrounded by stunning countryside. It is a
private estate not a hotel, a golf club or a corporate events venue and that is what
makes it so different.
When you hold your ceremony and wedding reception at Hamswell, you will have
exclusive use of the orangery and the grounds for the day and evening to share
with your guests. We do not hold two marquee wedding receptions on the same
weekend, so you can decorate and personalise the custom-built marquee the day
before to make it truly yours.
At Hamswell we are lucky to have assembled a group of carefully chosen
professionals who will assist you at every stage of the planning process.
The cost of hiring the venue for the day on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays is £3000 up to 100 guests, £3500 up to 150, £4000 up to 200 and £4500
up to 240. If the ceremony is also being held here, we charge a supplement of £500. Midweek weddings are subject to a £750 discount on the above rates.

THE CEREMONY You can hold the Ceremony inside the beautiful 18th Century Orangery with its
Cotswold stone roof and huge arch windows. The Orangery can seat 40 inside.
Any additional guests can watch and listen to the short ceremony from outside
on the lawn.
The couple must book a Registrar to attend the Ceremony. This should be done as
early as possible up to a year in advance through registrationservice@southglos.
gov.uk or on 01454 863140. The Registrar will make a charge for conducting the
Ceremony.
THE DRINKS RECEPTION
Following the service, you can join your guests for a celebratory drink on the
terrace and enjoy the stunning rural views over the Hamswell Valley with the
Westbury White Horse in the distance.
The gardens and the backdrop of the house make the perfect setting for your
wedding photographs. You and your guests are free to explore the walled gardens,
pergola and terraced herb garden.
If there is a risk of showers, the marquee company can erect a large awning on the
lawn so your guests can enjoy the glorious gardens without getting wet.

CATERING
We have four excellent caterers working at Hamswell. Each of them has a wedding
planner with whom you can discuss possible menus, table settings and your plans
for the day. They all offer tastings. Prices are usually quoted to include table linens,
cutlery and waiting staff as well as the food and are from about £35+ VAT per head
for a three course sit down meal, less for a hog or lamb roast.
Our four approved caterers are:CleverChefs www.cleverchefs.co.uk tel: 07468591743Cherry Picked Catering www.cherrypickedcatering.co.uk tel: 01179 300776George Goes Out www.georgegoesout.com tel: 07801256536Aniseed Catering www.aniseedcatering.co.uk tel: 01179 542251
If none of these caterers can meet your requirements, you can use one of your own
choosing for an additional charge of £350.
THE MARQUEEA marquee in the garden of a historic manor house is a wonderfully romantic
setting for your wedding breakfast.
To discuss your requirements contact Henry at Bath Marquees www.bathmarquees.co.uk tel: 01225 851015 / 07888 841517. He will meet you on site if you wish. The
maximum that can be comfortably accommodated for a sit down meal is about 240.
Bath Marquees will erect it for you. The cost of this varies depending on your individual requirements from about £4000 + VAT and is in addition to the venue hire. They will also organize a luxury toilet trailer.

DRINKYou may bring your own wine and champagne for the wedding breakfast provided
that you arrange this with the caterer beforehand. We do not charge corkage. This
is in stark contrast with most venues where the high mark-ups on the drink could
easily add thousands of pounds to the cost of the day. This is another major reason
why couples prefer to come to Hamswell.
PAY BARSIf you would like the caterers to run a pay bar, please give us two months notice.
MUSICYou are free to book your own DJ or band for an evening party. A mains power
supply is provided. We do ask for the music to stop at 12 p.m. and the guests to
depart by 1 a.m.
