St Audries Park is a Victorian Gothic manor house at West Quantoxhead, at the foot of the Quantock Hills in west Somerset. A winding drive leads through 100 acres of wooded deer park to the house, which looks out towards the Bristol Channel. The house and estate are reserved for one wedding at a time, and the venue is part of Country House Weddings, a group that runs six venues.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

GLW suggests St Audries for couples who want a big country house celebration without sharing it. The whole estate is yours, each couple has a personal wedding manager, and packages can be built around you, from a night-before party to a two-night stay. With accommodation spread across the estate, most of your guests can stay close by.

Ceremonies

Ceremonies usually take place in the Victorian Orangery, a bright, airy room that seats up to 130 guests. The house is licensed for marriage. St Etheldreda's Church also stands on the estate, so it is worth talking to the team if a church service matters to you.

Receptions and food

The wedding breakfast is served in the banqueting hall for up to 130 guests, with other grand reception rooms for drinks and the evening. The evening party can grow to around 250. All food and drink comes from the in-house catering and events team, and packages range from all-inclusive to fully bespoke, with optional upgrades and finishing touches.

Staying

Accommodation is spread across the main house and several buildings on the estate, including the Coach House, Windsor House, Holly Cottage, Peregrine Cottage, Church Lodge and the Walled Garden Rooms. Around 40 bedrooms are kept for the wedding night, and the estate can sleep more than 100 guests. Night-before and two-night options let you turn the wedding into a full weekend.

Getting there and the area

West Quantoxhead is on the A39 between Bridgwater and Minehead, about 15 minutes from the M5. Taunton is the nearest main line station. The coast at Kilve and Watchet, the Quantock Hills and Exmoor are all close, which gives guests plenty to explore over the weekend.
