Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and we both are adamant that this venue was indispensable to making it so. My husband and I got married at the beginning of May this year and for me, the only option was Mount Ephraim as I spent most of my childhood in the village. From the very first visit of the beautiful gardens and elegant house, it confirmed my choice. Lucy was so warm, welcoming and professional from the beginning. Nothing was too small, and would always be ready to answer an email or phone call about any of our questions. Vicki, the wedding coordinator was a dream also, she was always positive and her experience just allowed the day to run without anything going awry. The guest all commented on how elegant and timeless the house was. The feeling I always had every time I visited the venue and on the day, was it was a home from home. And when you are celebrating the love and joy of your partner with everyone you love, that is exactly the atmosphere you want. Lucy doesn't let the venue feel like a wedding factory; she said yes to most things we requested, or if it had never been done before, worked out how we could do it. All the guests that stayed the two nights were so impressed and pleased with the absolutely beautiful rooms and service. We even added extra kids and they were accommodated with no dramas. Although Scott Anderson Catering comes with the venue, it is the best wedding food we've ever had. And Nicola who ran the catering also was so kind and patient and supported any whim I had. Guests cancelled on the day, but no fuss was made just small switches and

Lucy and Vicky, trying to capture in words just how incredible and welcoming you both were throughout the entire journey of our wedding feels almost impossible. From the initial planning stages right through to the day itself, your attention to detail and genuine care were so evident and remarked upon by so many of our guests. Both Matthew and I found the whole experience to be remarkably relaxing and smooth, something we feel incredibly fortunate to say, knowing how wedding planning can often be quite stressful. This ease was almost entirely down to having such a fantastic team that truly made Mount Ephraim feel like a home away from home for the entire wedding weekend. Now, a month on, as we've had time to process and reflect on everything, we're filled with such fondness and deep appreciation for everything your amazing team delivered. It truly was the best day of our lives, a memory we will cherish forever. Having Lucy pop into the bridal suite on the morning of my wedding was such a lovely and personal moment that I'll always remember. And Vicky, well, you were nothing short of superwoman! Your ability to orchestrate and make everything run so effortlessly smooth, all while maintaining such a warm smile and being so incredibly kind and lovely, was truly astounding. The pictures Vicky captured in her own time, amidst the hustle and bustle of it all, are some of our absolute favourite photos and will definitely have pride of place in our wedding album and frames throughout our home! It truly feels bittersweet that the event is now over, but the comfort of knowing that when we return to Mount Ephraim, myself, Matthew, and our dog Milo will be so warmly welcomed by our wond

Mount Ephraim was the perfect setting for our wedding breakfast. We got married in Church and then had our reception/breakfast at Mount Ephraim. Lucy was incredible for the moment we started communication and was on head every step of the way with accommodating multiple visits, a plethora of emails on a daily/weekly basis from myself with questions/queries. The venue was everything and more than we could have wanted and Lucy was

Cannot recommend Mount Ephraim highly enough. We got married there in late May and it fulfilled all of our expectations. The gardens are absolutely stunning and all our guests loved exploring. The house itself is characterful and attractive without being too austere or 'wedding-y' if you know what I mean. We wanted somewhere that gave a sense of occasion but also a sense of family and community, and Mount Ephraim delivers exactly that. The accommodation is brilliant too. Our guests loved the opportunity to use the snooker table! Everyone who works at Mount Ephraim, especially Lucy the owner and Amy who was our co-ordinator on the day, were phenomenal. The day ran without a hitch and we were so reassured by every communication we had with the venue staff. The catering firm Mount Ephraim work with- Scott Anderson- are truly a cut above the norm. Lots of guests commented that the food was

What an incredible venue! From booking our wedding with Lucy, and arranging visits during the ease of lockdown measures, right up to the morning after the big day; Mount Ephraim was the perfect venue for our wedding and Lucy and the team were amazing. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the grounds & house are, as well as the incredible food supplied by Scott Anderson Catering. Lucy made arranging the fine details of our day so easy and stress-free. She really made us feel at home and looked after, in order to have the most perfect day. Surrounded by our loved ones and friends, our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more. Our first dance in the reception room by the stairs was a moment we will never forget - surrounded by our loved ones, singing & dancing together. It truly is a wonderful atmosphere in the main house and the gardens during the summer evening was beautiful. From a very family orientated background, Mount Ephraim and all of its staff feel like (and some are!) one huge family. The bedrooms are beautiful and the bridal party loved their stay on the night of our wedding - even getting a glimpse of the Classic Car Show out on the front lawns the next morning - what a treat! Breakfast in the Tea Rooms was superb and the team were incredible at catering for our guests with allergens and the younger guests (Thank you Sophie & Elliot!). The venue were so supportive and we were able to have sparklers at the end of the night & our live band fit in perfectly by the dancefloor. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much to all the staff at Mount Ephraim f

We got married at Mount Ephraim in July 23, and it was truly everything we could have hoped for - and more! Mount Ephraim is a really special place, and Lucy guided us through the whole process of booking our big day seamlessly. The venue itself is beautiful, with plenty of accommodation and set up options. We used the caterers that came with the venue - who again we couldn’t fault and even a couple of the recommended suppliers who were also brilliant. Honestly couldn’t recommend a

We had our wedding reception at Mount Ephraim in June 2023 and the whole day was perfect. Us and our guests were welcomed with drinks and canapés on our arrival from the church and were given time to relax and mingle how we wished. Some chose to sit and chat whilst others had a wonder around the grounds, I wanted this feeling of freedom for us and our guests and the gardens were perfect for that. We also used this opportunity to have some photos taken including a group one of all the guests on the stairs at the tennis courts which we will treasure. Our wedding breakfast was absolutely 5* and everyone commented on how delicious the food was and how attentive the staff were. We were given time and space to say thank you to our guests and do our speeches. Nothing felt rushed or on a strict to d schedule which is something we really wanted. Some of us stayed the night at the accommodation which was spotless, high spec and felt luxurious which is definitely something you want to feel on your wedding day. The gardens are stunning and were perfect for wedding photos, the views all around are breathtaking and you get a feel of being somewhere really special. We had so many comments on how lovely our wedding day was and I was so pleased everyone enjoyed themselves. The day was smooth and relaxed exactly as we wanted. Lucy made sure of this, she was so helpful, welcoming and warm and made us feel as if nothing was too much. The perfect person to help you plan yo

I do not have enough good things to say about Ephraim as a venue and Lucy as our wedding coordinator. The grounds and interiors were stunning, and it was really special having the whole wedding party staying with us before and after the big day. The B&B catering was also very warmly received by all our guests. From start to finish, Lucy made us feel like everything was under control, expertly managing logistics while still maintaining a personal touch and a war

There really are no words to describe how perfect our wedding at Mount Ephraim was - it was an absolute dream and so much more than we could ever have expected. From start to finish, Lucy was fantastic! Always quick to respond to emails and made us feel so welcome! We arrived at Mount Ephraim on Friday with 22 of our guests joining us for extended celebrations. We booked out both the garden wing and B&B the night before & the night of the wedding and this really was the best decision. Not only is the venue beautiful but the accommodation and all of the facilities are just perfect! The wedding day was amazing! Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly the day had run! We would 100% recommend Mount Ephraim to anyone looking for a stunning venue with both a grand house and beautiful gardens! The pictures are too die for at this venue. We cannot thank Lucy an

Lucy and her team at Mount Ephraim were exemplary. They were so friendly and made us feel as ease straightaway. The venue is magical and quite different from anything else we saw. It’s was so wonderful to have the whole house to ourselves and accommodate all the live music we wished for. The day felt effortless but I’m sure Lucy coordinated this behind the scenes. We

We had our wedding here in May 2023 and it was amazing! It was everything we could have asked. Lucy was brilliant! We only had a small wedding but nothing was a problem for Lucy. She gave us ideas of what to do and was always there when we had any questions. The venue is BEAUTIFUL! We got married inside as I HAD TO walk down that beautiful staircase! It really

Our wedding day at Mount Ephraim was absolutely perfect from start to finish and exactly what we dreamt of! Lucy and the team were fantastic - so friendly and accommodating, throughout the planning stages and on the day itself. The entire day ran perfectly, they made us feel completely relaxed and allowed us to enjoy every second. Their caterers (Scott Anderson) are superb, so many compliments on the food. The house and gardens are stunning and the whole team really made our day so magical. Our weekend stay in the B&B and Garden Wing also helped us to spe

We would like to thank all the Mount Ephraim team for all your help from the day we booked our wedding and all the way through to our wedding day. Nothing was ever too much to ask for, especially during the difficult times we’ve all been facing, the patience and support we received throughout was incredible. All our guests have commented how stunning the venue was, how lovely all members of staff were.
