Weddings at Orange Tree House

Your wedding ceremony

Having originally been built in the 1820s as a church, our main function room is the perfect setting for a romantic ceremony. With its stone walls, vaulted ceiling and original exposed beams it provides a wonderful backdrop for you and your guests. What could be better than walking down the aisle to meet your sweetheart in the knowledge that couples have tread this path for the past 200 years.
