Media Release: Old Somerley, The Exclusive Hampshire Wedding Venue, Goes Online
Wednesday 8 July, 2009; Old Somerley, the magical, secluded wedding venue nestling in 7000 acres of breathtaking Hampshire countryside of the private Somerley Estate, home to the 6th Earl of Normanton, has launched its new website. One of England’s best kept secret wedding venues, www.oldsomerley.com provides all of the information any budding bride and groom should need, together with revised price packages and simplified booking options.
Imagine a wedding venue set in spectacular rolling parkland, scattered with ancient trees, with the River Avon wending its peaceful way towards the sea. Old Somerley, situated on the magnificent Somerley Estate in Hampshire, provides total privacy and seclusion in the most gracious of surroundings. Conveniently located just 90 minutes from London, 15 minutes from Bournemouth, 20 minutes from Salisbury and 25 minutes from Southampton, Old Somerley can be found hiding just outside of Ringwood. Old Somerley features newly renovated buildings adjacent to the site of the original Somerley House, offering a breathtaking panoramic vista of unspoilt countryside. While retaining the original features of exposed wooden beams, the buildings have been transformed in a truly contemporary style. Entering Old Somerley through the unique Moon Gate, guests step into the harmonious Zen Garden with its calming water features, exotic plants and driftwood sculptures, perfectly contrasting with the adjacent, Grade I listed Walled Garden and exquisite 17th century folly. Old Somerley’s Garden House is licensed for Civil Ceremonies and caters for up to 100 guests and the venue can seat 60 for an intimate wedding breakfast. For the ideal wedding solution comprising a Civil Ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception, a marquee can be sited within the picturesque Walled Garden which spans two acres. From as little as £5,900 you can make your dream wedding day at Old Somerley a reality, where 50 guests can enjoy your Civil Ceremony with a drinks reception and a marquee in the Walled Garden with a cold buffet or barbeque. With years of experience, Old Somerley knows that no two weddings are the same. An in-house wedding co-ordinator will be at your disposal to help ease organisational pressures while costs can be individually tailored to meet your specific needs and all food is created in-house under the supervision of Somerley Head Chef, Dominique Charles. The Estate and Old Somerley is one of England’s best kept secrets – because it is not open to the public, providing a truly unique and inspiring venue for your very special day. The brand new www.oldsomerley.com website effortlessly guides you through all the options to build your exclusive day at this stunning wedding venue. Easy-to-navigate sections provide helpful information such as delicious sample menus, suggested itineraries, local accommodation guides, recommended suppliers and testimonials. Tony Wright, Somerley Household Manager, said: “The Somerley Estate is truly a unique gem in Hampshire’s crown rarely accessed by the public. We hope that the Old Somerley website helps to spread the word that this exclusive part of the Estate can be yours for your dream day. “Old Somerley perfectly lends itself to any type of wedding, from an intimate Civil Ceremony to an elaborate wedding breakfast and evening reception.
