Described as one of the most beautiful Elizabethan houses in England, Montacute breathes grandeur. With its honey-coloured stone, glittering windows and elegant chimneys, it really is an exceptional venue for any special occasion.

Montacute House works in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery and displays more than 50 of the finest Tudor and Elizabethan portraits from the national collection.

The formal gardens are made up of beautiful mixed borders, old roses and interesting topiary designs, while the house looks out onto a wider estate which encompassing the site of a Norman castle and an 18th-century lookout tower for guests to explore.

As Montacute House is a delicate historic building we limit the number of weddings we hold each year for conservation reasons so to avoid disappointment book in plenty of time.
