Amazing Mapperton wedding with Holly in the team

Holly and the Mapperton team were truly amazing to us. Holly played a key role in both our wedding day and the one prior. When our wedding planner failed to deliver everything we needed, Holly and her team seamlessly stepped in, assisting us with every detail and providing me with much-needed peace of mind. On the wedding day, they were not only a fantastic help in ensuring the smooth flow of the event but also provided valuable assistance with my bridesmaids and other wedding details. Their dedication and support made our special day truly memorable. We are genuinely grateful for their outstanding service and professionalism. Additionally, the catering by Jo was incredible, ensuring everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend Holly and the Mapperton team for your wedding!

Andrew & Gabi – August 2023

Perfection

From the moment we visited we had a wonderful experience with Mapperton. Not only a stunning beautiful and dynamic venue but a highly engaged, friendly, committed and professional team from our first visit through to post wedding. We could not recommend the venue enough due to the amazing team and venue, so many friends and family couldn’t stop commenting on what an incredible location it was!

Sam & Georgi – June 2023

Wonderful, unique experience

The venue is so extensive you have all of the best worlds in one place. You want gardens, they’ve got them. A chapel for your celebrant, they’ve got it. A barn for your meal, done. A gorgeous house for picture backdrops, they’ve got that too!
They also have wonderful Holly who was fundamental to our day being so smooth and enjoyable. She was magically there when you needed her and disappeared when you didn’t. She was quick on the phone, on email. Nothing was too big a deal. When we had a hiccup, she had a solution. We picked the venue after meeting Holly and she was just excellent.

Daisy & Oliver – September 2023

Perfect wedding venue!

We got married at Mapperton in September and couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day, it was everything we could have dreamed of! We were torn between two venues when we first viewed but Hollys amazing knowledge and customer service swayed it for us, she is incredible at what she does and made our day so smooth! We cannot thank her and Amy enough for all the effort they put in for us!
Holly made the whole planning process stress free and the venue is just beautiful! All of our guests loved looking around the gardens and the Garden Cottage is the perfect place to get ready!
Thank you again for making our day so special!

Richard & Leah – September 2023

Wonderful – Mapperton is very special

We are delighted to have got married at Mapperton. Holly the wedding co-ordinator was very responsive and helpful and made us feel like No.1. She is confident and truly knows her stuff, covering bases we hadn’t even thought of.
The grounds and venue are stunning – even though it rained on our day, we barely noticed because we were having so much fun. Holly was even armed with brollies as my bridesmaids and I approached the coach house for the ceremony. There is nothing I would have changed about our wedding and Mapperton certainly was the solid foundation of what made our day amazing.

Rob & Louise – October 2023

Excellent venue manager & delightful venue

From the beginning of organising our wedding, we wanted to find an idyllic venue to reflect our personal values. We were looking for multiple areas with multiple uses so that we could make the most of the money we were spending. Not just a barn without accommodation or gardens.

Mapperton Estate provides, a coach house (barn), multiple gardens, and many places to party and build activities. Spending a hefty wedge of money on a venue is fine, if it provides multiple things. Included in the summer fee, there’s selection of where you can marry, a large marquee for outside lawns, and accommodation included for two nights—which is excellent value and of a really high standard!

The venue manager, Holly is just absolutely insane. Without her, we wouldn’t have known where to start, as I had never been to a wedding but my own one. Not only that, since I have attended my wedding (obviously!) and two others this summer, I have noticed that Holly’s service is second to none. She is great at her job, and probably should get a lot more credit, in my opinion just a silent hero!! The day flowed so naturally, and it was as though she was one of our guests. Can’t thank her enough.

The venue is a must-do. There’s loads of local airbnb’s all of reasonable prices and good hotels around the area.

Joe & Charlotte – July 2023

Best Day of Our Lives

We had an amazing experience planning our wedding at Mapperton, Holly was incredible, staying late to have meetings with us, and thinking of all the little things we may have forgotten.
On the day Holly insured everything ran smoothly, she was always there just when we needed her. All our guests had the most amazing time! They were all very complimentary about the setting, and local suppliers that Mapperton suggested.
We could not have wished for a better day!

Ben & Megan – September 2023

Mapperton House Wedding

Where do I start? I rarely write reviews but felt Mapperton deserves a very special mention.
We hired Mapperton as our wedding venue for June 2023 and it was the best decision we ever made.
The team at Mapperton were absolutely brilliant and were so helpful during the lead up the wedding right through to the day itself. A special mention to both Holly & Amy the wedding coordinators. We couldn’t have done it without you.

All of the feedback from our guests said that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The gardens at Mapperton are so picturesque and I would highly recommend any couple looking for a wedding venue to pay Mapperton a visit where you will truly get a feel for the place.

Ashley & Luke – October 2023

Spring wedding dream

“We chose Mapperton for our wedding in April of this year (2022) and had the most perfect day celebrating at this dreamy venue. The gardens look gorgeous in just about every season, but were particularly stunning for our Spring wedding. The blossom and flowers everywhere make a gorgeous backdrop and our guests were blown away with the venue and grounds. Mapperton has many options for personalisation, which is one of the reasons we selected the venue. We chose a chapel ceremony, afternoon marquee and evening dinner in the coach house. We were able to choose our celebrant, caterer and other suppliers, with a few recommendations provided for the local area. We loved this flexibility to create a truly personalised and bespoke celebration that reflected who we are as a couple. The Mapperton team are really friendly and professional and we felt like nothing was impossible to achieve with their help. Our whole experience with the team was seamless and on the day, our wedding co-ordinator Kat worked tirelessly behind the scenes keeping everything running smoothly. Our friends and family are still talking about our day and how stunning Mapperton was as a backdrop for a truly special and unique celebration. We cannot recommend this gem of a venue highly enough”

Rachel & David – April 2022

An Extraordinary Venue

“Hard to know where to begin with praising this incredible venue and it’s team! Mapperton ticked all of our boxes and then had so many extra things that we didn’t even know we wanted but made the day perfect (the orangery for photos springs to mind!). The grounds are absolutely stunning and offer so many options for each bit of the day, and the Coach House has been so well thought through as a venue. Every single member of the team from the head gardener Susie, to the bar Manager Emma is dedicated and lovely, and the support from the wedding coordinator Kat is just amazing. Having Kat involved with developing our plans, communicating with our suppliers and running everything flawlessly on the day made sure that everything went entirely perfectly. Her “I’ve got this” manner and warmth shone throughout, and made an already brilliant venue the perfect package. The added bonus of being able to stay in the beautiful Garden Cottage on site before and after the day made things extra special. Mapperton offers something really extraordinary and we couldn’t recommend it more highly to others as the perfect venue for a celebration; we and our guests loved every moment of our time there”

Emily & Chris – May 2022

Beautiful venue in Dorset

‘Mapperton is a beautiful wedding venue with lots of different areas to use. We had a marquee attached to the side of the coach house – this was great because we could have our wedding breakfast in the marquee and then move into the coach house for the band etc. We also had drinks/canapes in the gardens which was amazing on a sunny day in May as the gardens looked stunning! The team at Mapperton were very helpful and responsive. I would definitely recommend!’

James & Amy – May 2022

“We had the most beautiful day at Mapperton and it was all possible due to the great staff and facilities. They were extremely flexible and kind during the worries of whether or not we’d be able to hold the wedding on the original date due to covid. We also keep getting compliments on both the stunning location and the food from our wedding even weeks later – so it left a lasting impression on guests!”

Cat & Joe, July 2021

“Mapperton is not only the most beautiful setting with their stunning gardens and gorgeous Coach House but it allows you to have the day you dream of!
Their thorough communication, professionalism and calm manner gives you the confidence to relax and fully enjoy your day. Being adaptable and understanding throughout Covid and other situations such as the weather, created an easy lead up to the day and with experienced staff you’re able to trust them with any task! The options for where to get married is one of the best parts with so many lovely little places to choose from. The gardens themselves are so peaceful we immediately felt calm when visiting which we knew would be a lovely addition for the day. Although most of the pictures show the gardens on a sunny or dry day, it absolutely chucked it down with rain on our day but we can honestly say it didn’t matter. The ceremony was held in the coach house and the additional marquee meant we had somewhere for our guests to enjoy the reception drinks. When the rain calmed down just a tad, they were able to quickly pop out with their umbrellas to see the gardens which still looked incredible! We honestly couldn’t recommend Mapperton enough!”

Emily & Steen, October 2021

“A truly one-of-a-kind place that we were incredibly lucky to have our wedding at. Not only is Mapperton stunning but it has a wonderful team there as well who were amazing in helping us put everything together for a really special day. Has to be seen, and an unbeatable wedding venue.”

Tom & Eve, July 2021

“From seeing the beautiful setting that Mapperton had to offer and the range of areas that we could use throughout our wedding day, we knew this would be the place for us. From the start, we felt like it was truly just about us and they were able to get back to us about any queries we had or meet us for an update along the way.
A particular addition to the package which we loved, is the garden cottage. Not only was this perfect to get ready in on the morning of the wedding but the fact that we can return at a later date through air bnb is something that really appealed to us to celebrate and reminisce further down the line.
The afternoon before the wedding day, we were able to set up and Kat was on hand to answer any questions or to offer advice and then on the day, she remembered all the little details we went through with her which made things flow even better!
The team of suppliers that we had (Taddle Farm Tents, The Hungry Mule, The English Florist, Liz Baker Photography, Mammoth – band) worked seamlessly with Mapperton and us to enable an all round incredible day.
Our wedding day was perfect and we owe a lot of that to the team at Mapperton to ensure that things were all in place and creating a stress free environment leading up to and during the event. We would highly recommend Mapperton as a wedding venue.”

Lucy & Matthew, July 2021

“After few false starts thanks to the pandemic, we finally had our wedding in Mapperton! The Mapperton team were lovely and flexible over dates. The venue is absolutely stunning and all the guests loved the garden and having the flexibility to roam and explore during canapés. This is a unique venue and would recommend anyone wanting to create a special day here.”

Becca & Bala, July 2021

“Like so many other couples Covid made the run up to our wedding a bit of a nightmare. Mapperton where so unbelievably helpful. From offering alternative dates, being understanding to just being there to listen on the phone.

In the run up to the wedding I felt like we had covered everything we needed to together, which stopped some of the anxiety. The day before the team could not have been more helpful with setting up. I handed everything over on the Friday evening secure in the knowledge that I didn’t need to do anything else.

On the day itself, the team where unobtrusive and made everything flow so well. The gardens in my opinion are the perfect place to allow guests to connect with each other and have beautiful photos.

Despite everything it felt like a normal, magical wedding. The best day of our lives. That would not have been possible without the beautiful location and the wonderful team of super helpful people.”

Emma and Andrew, June 2021

“We wanted to thank you especially, plus everyone at Mapperton, for facilitating our day. Your flexibility and patience in the lead up was very much appreciated, plus how pragmatic and kind you were on the day…it honestly made such a difference. The Coach House and Mapperton in general is such a beautiful venue. The consistent comments we have had from all our friends and family are ‘lovely dress, amazing photos, gorgeous venue’. So I’m delighted with that!”

Danielle and Alex, October 2020

“I would have no hesitation recommending Mapperton Estate for your upcoming wedding. We had our wedding in July this summer and it was an absolute Fairytale. The venue is stunning and I couldn’t have been happier with my overall experience before and during. I would suggest that if you do book your wedding that you would book the cottage along with it. It was an absolute game changer having that space the night before and the day of. Not to mention, it was beautiful as well! I wish I could already repeat this day!”

Amanda and Joe, July 2019

“We had the most amazing day thank you. You both work so hard and we really appreciate all of your help and advice given on the run up to the wedding. Everything was perfect! Of course the venue is absolutely stunning and everyone commented on your beautiful gardens.”
