In the heart of the Cotswolds near Tetbury, and close to the Arboretum of the same name which was created as part of the estate by the Holford family, Westonbirt House School is a spectacular wedding venue, which evokes thoughts of Downton Abbey with it’s grand architecture, extensive grounds, beautifully panelled halls, orangery and Italian garden. it even has it’s own on site chapel.

Emily and Hugh fell in love with Westonbirt House the moment they saw it, and decided that of all the wedding venues they looked at, this was the one. I met them as their photographer before the wedding, and we explored the grounds, which have so many opportunities for beautiful photographs around every corner. The gardens are a delight. Although a school for most of the year, over the summer Westonbirt opens for just a handful of exclusive weddings, and what a spectacular space it is.
