Description
Yarlington House is a Georgian stately home wedding venue near the outskirts of the village of Yarlington, Somerset. It is a perfect example of a quintessentially British period property, built of mellow brick and stone facings and set in a private parkland estate with beautifully planted formal gardens.
Facilities and Capacity
The house is entered through a private drive with woodland on one side and mature trees on the other. The gardens are set within their own parkland so that almost as far as the eye can see becomes your whole world for the day. The rose garden invites you for an enchanting ceremony behind the pleached limes with the lily pond in the centre. The wisteria arbour provides a colourful backdrop for a wedding in May. The sunken Italian garden contains a plethora of roses and flowering shrubsa dream of colour in the summer months, graduating to autumnal yellows and oranges. The contemporary kitchen garden has what you need for a memorable meal. The house's original brick walls and 18th-century box-edged beds create an attractive atmosphere. The apple pergola offers a romantic setting for wedding photographs, as does the beautiful golden laburnum walk, providing a romantic aisle for the newly married couple. After dark, the front of the house is floodlit, which extends the enjoyment of the homecroquet can be played on the lawn after dinner, meaning the fun can go on well after the sun goes down. Yarlington House works closely with Somerset's leading marquee hire company, Abbas Marquees if you wish to host an outdoor celebration.
History
Yarlington House was built in 1782 in an area where no house had been constructed before. The site was very much an open space, and King George III, passing on his way from Weymouth to Longleat, may have said, 'Hah! Hah! a bold man, a bold man, to build a house there'. Now, lush trees and a mature garden encapsulate it, and it is a hidden gem for those seeking a gorgeous setting for their special day.
