Getting Married at Priston Mill?

Priston Mill is a 280-acre Grade 1 listed wedding venue located within the Duchy of Cornwall in Bath, Somerset. The wedding venue has two separate areas licensed for weddings. Both buildings are centuries old and give your guests a glimpse into life a thousand years ago. When the Hopwood family moved in over 40 years ago, they changed how the property was used. It is now an arable farm with a fully functioning grist mill for grinding grain.

In addition to the farm and mill, the property is one of the most popular wedding venues in the Bath, Somerset area. The Tythe Barn and the working water mill are one-of-a-kind settings that will make your wedding day special. The venue offers opportunities for wedding photography that you will not find anywhere else. The rustic setting with the elegant trappings is a beautiful contradiction. As your Priston Mill wedding photographer, I can create your wedding album that tells the story of your special day.

History of Priston Mill

The original water mill was built around 931 AD, while the current water mill was completed in 1720 AD. Tythe Barn was also built around the same time. It was eventually opened to weddings in 1991. Couples loved using the wedding venue so much that, ten years later, the Watermill was upgraded and opened for events. The dairy herd was sold in 2002, and many of the farm buildings were turned into small shops for local vendors.

The current owners take great care to do everything possible to preserve the old buildings performing upgrades as needed to keep them beautiful and functional for their guests. The historic character of the farm has been maintained for many years and can take your guests back in time. My Priston Mill wedding photography will capture all the best moments of your wedding day.

Events and Weddings at Priston Mill

Coombe Lodge and Rockbeare Manor are nearby and can provide luxury accommodations for your wedding party. Everyone will have an amazing day at Priston Mill. As a Somerset wedding photographer, I will be roaming the venue during the wedding breakfast and drinks reception to capture your guests as they share in the festivities. From broad smiles to flowing tears, I will capture the raw emotions as well as the quiet times shared by the bride and groom.

Some of my favourite shots of the day come when the bride and groom least expect it. It’s the natural moments that make the best wedding photographs. Sprinkle in the fairy lights to create the perfect setting for your first dance as man and wife. You can invite 50 to 150 guests to the ceremony, 150 guests to dinner, and as many as 200 guests to your reception. Share your day with your closest friends and family!
