The Orangery, Mount Edgcumbe Wedding Guide – Music, Atmosphere and Style
The Setting and Location
The Orangery at Mount Edgcumbe sits within stunning parkland on the Rame Peninsula, overlooking Plymouth Sound. Arriving here feels like a bit of an adventure in the best way. You’ve got sea views, historic buildings and huge open spaces all around, so guests instantly know they’re somewhere special.
Whether people arrive by road or make a trip across on the ferry, there’s a real sense of occasion before the wedding has even started. It sets the tone for a day that feels memorable from the very beginning.

The Style and Overall Vibe
The Orangery is elegant without feeling stiff. The building itself is light and grand, with high ceilings and huge windows that flood the space with natural light. It suits couples who want a wedding that feels stylish and impressive, but still warm and welcoming.
You can lean into the classic, romantic feel of the venue, or bring in more modern styling and lighting touches. Either way, it always feels like a proper event rather than just another function room.
What I Love About Working Here
One of the best things about The Orangery is how naturally the day flows. Drinks outside with those views, guests wandering the grounds, and then everyone gathering inside for food, speeches and the evening party creates a really smooth build in atmosphere.
From a music and hosting point of view, it is a great space to shape the energy of the day. Earlier on it feels relaxed and sociable, and by the time we move into the evening, the room transforms into a brilliant party space. When the dance floor gets going here, it feels big, lively and full of people who are really up for celebrating.
