Description
Description
At The Stables Hospitality at Hestercombe, we believe no two weddings should ever look the same. If you're searching for a venue where you can create a celebration that feels completely your own, you've found it.
Set within beautiful Somerset countryside, with sweeping lawns, historic gardens and the iconic Ham Stone Lutyens designed Orangery, you'll have exclusive access to an incredible setting that's yours to shape. Rather than offering a one size fits all wedding package, we provide a flexible, blank canvas venue that gives you the freedom to bring your vision to life, whether that's relaxed and understated, bold and colourful, festival inspired or timelessly elegant.
Licensed for civil ceremonies, The Stables Hospitality at Hestercombe allows you to host every part of your day in one unforgettable location, from your ceremony and drinks reception to your wedding breakfast and evening celebrations. With fifty acres of gardens and open spaces to explore, there's room to celebrate your way.
Our experienced, friendly team is here to help bring your ideas to life, offering as much or as little support as you need while keeping your vision at the heart of every decision. We don't believe in copy and paste weddings. Every celebration should reflect the couple at the centre of it, creating a day that feels personal, memorable and completely your own.

- TTania20/05/2020Thank you just isn’t enough to convey how very grateful we are to youThank you just isn’t enough to convey how very grateful we are to youThank you just isn’t enough to convey how very grateful we are to you, Joe and all of the Hestercombe team for the big part you played in Danielle and Luke’s Wedding. Absolutely everything you all did was just fabulous from the setting up of the room, the help and assistance you gave with all of our little questions, the food - so many guests said they had never had such great food at a wedding to the overall feeling from the Hestercombe team that they truly cared about making our day as perfect and special as it could be. Please pass on our thanks to all involved. All we would say is keep on doing exactly what you are doing, you are such an organised, capable and caring team anybody who chooses Hestercombe as the venue for their wedding will not be disappointed in any way. I hope we will see you again on our visits to Hestercombe.

- NNatasha and Mark13/11/2018Perfect from start to finish Perfect from start to finishWe chose Hestercombe for its gardens and choice and we weren’t disappointed. Julie was brilliant from the start and Richard and his team ensured we had a perfect meal even accommodating my grandads limited food likes. We have been back many times since and are always welcomed like friends. We chose Hestercombe for its gardens and choice and we weren’t disappointed.

- RRebecca & Jamie05/05/2017Whatever it is Hestercombe are doing, please, keep doing it!Whatever it is Hestercombe are doing, please, keep doing it!As soon as we visited Hestercombe Gardens on a chilly January day we knew that it was where we wanted to get married. After that, with Julie’s help – it was simple. On the day I didn’t have to worry about a thing (except my lippy staying in place). The teams worked in the background and how on earth they managed to work around us with no one noticing, I’ll never know. The day its self was faultless, the canapes and food were lovely and the atmosphere was relaxed. Whatever it is Hestercombe are doing, please, keep doing it!
