[@heatherashley785]

Julie you have worked really bloody hard to pull mapperton together. You have done a superb job. I love your enthusiasm for history and a vision for the next generations. God bless you.x

[@franzsela3891]

This place only exists in fairy-tale stories. What an enchanting estate!

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you Franz - we are very lucky to be able to call it home!

[@IrishAnnie]

You are such a great salesperson! This is a perfect place for a romantic wedding......you are an invaluable addition to the family! ❤️

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you for your kind words

[@fennecfox8623]

What a brilliant Spokeslady for a beautiful house and gardens :)

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you Fennec!

[@roadrunnercrazy]

Well, I'm sold. If only this had been available for my wedding 29 years ago. What a stunning venue!

[@konapuppy10]

Sooooo....what about a renewal of you vows there?!

[@lorenzopisces]

Absolutely beautiful property! love how she hasn’t lost her American accent!

[@janepowell2209]

What a fabulous video. Julie you are THE BEST ambassador for Mapperton. They're lucky to have you!

[@aliciahowell9617]

When you walked into the garden and commented on the smell of the orange blossom and tulips made me wonder if you have considered making candles that are seasonal combinations of the flowers in the garden. They could be gifts to clients as mementos of the beautifully and your beautiful home. Or they could be sold to guests. I know I would love to buy one. Thank you for the lovely tour!

[@jennaelyse7023]

This is such a great idea!

[@winifredpowelson9669]

What a lovely idea!! I can almost smell it now!!!

[@user-jk5ur9dh5h]

Also, orange blossoms are a thing in England at weddings.

[@saskiasmith4469]

I'm enjoying your channel! My jaw dropped at the intro because I recently learned I am a direct descendant of William de Moyon/Moion! I started with my American great-grandmother Lucina Moon and worked backwards to that little suprise (the name having been changed in the mid-1600s with an immigration to Rhode Island). I can't wait to rock up to Dunster Castle someday, ye ole family homestead! I'll swing by Mapperton to collect my 70 shillings en route haha :)

[@7saucebasil]

I've recently found out about this lovely Lady and her programmes (Smithsonian Channel) and presentation are absolutely delightful.

[@wendyannh]

Such stunning grounds! I love your dress, too - and it’s a very flattering style for you.

[@entyc_nm5493]

Absolutely breathtaking! So calming

[@larkmurry7808]

Merci! Fascinating and so much fun...

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

I have always enjoyed sunken gardens. A friend of mine have one of those manor and they have a cascading river running across their sunken garden, it's just very peaceful and charming, and private too and not windy because it's sunken haha

[@sequri]

Can you imagine when Julie told her mum she fancied a Sandwich!? "No mum, the original!"

[@MappertonLive]

I am Michael, work as a Sales Manager for Grand Bohemian Hotel in Mountain Brook, AL. Wonderful tour and Spectacular spaces. Love from Mountain Brook, Alabama!

[@lochamb1234]

What an amazing place to get married. It would be an honour to have your wedding and reception here. No doubt it costs an absolute bomb, however, my goodness totally worth it. Julie, both you and Luke have done a wonderful job to ensure one's wedding day is a day to cherish forever.

[@MappertonLive]

I think you'd be very surprised with our wedding package prices: mappertonweddings.com Thank you for your kind words and support.

[@sarahj3145]

I just checked out their website and for what is included it’s very very reasonable pricing.

[@allisonkennedy6179]

an American that embraced our culture and live what a great woman total respect to this lady

[@scottiemiller7400]

Julie makes us proud in America as she has joined her husband's family and helped support her husband and his family in the responsibilities of preserving such an important part of English culture through preserving their ancestral home and grounds. Clearly theirs is a labor of love. Such lovely, gently loving couple. An example for anyone with the challenge of bridging a spouse's culture and country.

[@cherchezlavache4373]

What a glorious venue! Thank you for the tour. 🙋‍♀️🥂

[@mayradell3953]

You are so clever by exposing the beauty of this beautiful place and creating income venues to continue to aid to maintain the beauty of this place. I enjoy your explanation and the relationship you have with your in-laws. It is wonderful to share two world s in become creative to problem solving that I have no doubt you will continue to generate multiple sources of incomeand creativity of beautiful things. Very pleased to have found your channel.

[@Gibbz4ever]

Breathtaking!!! I will watch this often for the stunning settings work to soothe and calm me after a busy way--the best way to relax!

[@StyleByAdriel]

Lovely what you did with Mapperton. ❤️

[@cindybogart6062]

This property is stunning here!

I loved that movie Rebecca! So much history in this home its quite amazing!

[@beckylg8176]

I'm addicted, I absolutely love this channel 💘

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you Becky, glad to have you aboard!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

How stunning! I love the stone columns of the pergola and all the beautiful classic, Italianate garden features.

[@shanecrawford6023]

Very well presented, although I lived in England as a boy ( dad was RCAF) later as a naval officer RCN. I could never get used to British sales commercials. This is North American, informative, visually stimulating, a presenter who very much owns into the product and who’s photogenic .Canada

[@DianaGoodman-ss3sr]

What a beautiful venue for a wedding. Julie, you did a great job of showing all the possibilities of Mapperton to host a memorable event !!!!

[@rj2796]

Absolutely beautiful! If I'm ever going to get married, I want to get married in a place like this

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you R J, we'd be delighted to welcome you

[@edwardparkhurst9804]

Yes, that's the place.

[@jenjem5810]

Very warm and charming. BRAVO Julie 👋

[@cherylbutler446]

I just saw you on Today with Meghan Kelly. You were great and your hair was gorgeous!!!

[@robsondog01]

What a great ambassador you are for your family and business, eloquent, passionate and most of all relateable. Thank you.x

[@ej12349]

My first time seeing this video. Never knew about these other gorgeous areas of your property. Thank you for sharing.

[@cyrill3000]

What a lovely lady! Hasn’t she a wonderful smile in her face, when she gets flashbacks of her own wedding in this stunning place? Hasn’t been „Much ado about nothing“ filmed there with Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson? It’s such a beautiful property and you can feel, that the owners do their best to keep it perfectly in shape! May there be bigger, more luxury properties in the UK, but I love this one particularly because of the relative down to earth and authentic atmosphere.

[@gabyv8]

Oh Lady Julie, what a magnificent video! I love everything about it!!! Makes me want to renew my vows there! 🥰😉

[@jomomma5281]

I recall watching this beautiful place on Ladies Of London..In Australia,I enjoyed greatly enjoyed it.

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you Jo, there's plenty more videos on our channel, and more to come, so please consider subscribing, if you haven't done so already.

[@ghostsdoexist]

I have absolutely no plans for matrimony, and I would probably opt for a courthouse ceremony if I did. However, this video really makes me want to spring for a Million-Dollar Wedding Extravaganza! What a beautiful and unique spot for a special day. Great presentation!

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you for your kind words 😊

[@marietimperley6005]

Just watched the 2 videos about cattle! Albie going to see the Ladies and now putting on the GPS collar. Wonderful let's see more over time, and how the herd is progressing. That should help Julie get over her fear. I am watching this in August 2022 so I am looking forward to seeing more in 2023. With much gratitude for all you do.

[@matthewedwards3550]

Ms Julie... Thank you for a wonderful tour of the grounds of Mapperton House...what an AMAZING place! Continued ABUNDANCE!!!

[@MappertonLive]

You're very welcome Matthew. Did you know that we're running weekly live virtual tours. Please subscribe so that you don't miss out on them!

[@Rebekahlow]

Julie presents this video beautifully!!! What a wonderful place to have a wedding. Percy would make a lovely guest. Love from Vermont

[@MsGringa24]

OMG Julie, you are living a fairytale indeed and based on what I've heard, married into a very wealthy family. Amazing.

[@katherinebugg8980]

Cool to find family on KZbin! I’m related to the Montagu family and am a member in the group on Facebook. My grandfather used to help with the family history website back in 2000-2003. I was told the story about the sandwich when I was little.

[@pamfrank3962]

Stunning...beautiful grounds and accommodations

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Julie, I have an idea for a video that I think would be really interesting: for you, your Mum-in-law and/or a local historian to show and talk about the Domesday entry for Mapperton and its recorded features at the time of that great survey/census. Also, including current vs. historical maps of the estate would be great. I have loved English history since I was a child (I’m American). Thanks for considering my idea🙂

[@samspade3227]

Wow, your master gardener is the best.

[@MappertonLive]

We think so too. Glad you enjoyed this video. You'll enjoy the Spring garden tour we recently filmed too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIPNaYeXh6ihrcU

Beutiful landscape,antique houses,sweet smelling cherry blossom,colourful cherry blossom perfect place for authentic wedding

[@shoaibwaseem4766]

What a wedding location. Its incredible. Its the most amazing place I have ever seen. I could spend all day just looking at it from outside its so good. No other place is so historical.

[@Tracy_R]

The ceiling is incredibly stunning!

[@jessicanelson9545]

What a magical place. I bet if you replaced some box woods and pressure washed some areas it would make it look even better! I cannot wait to visit one day!

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you Jessica, we're doing our best with the Box and they are making a recovery. Some of the stonework is very delicate and may not take kindly to a pressure washer, but thank you for the suggestion anyway!

[@88lakeshore]

i really like Julie's dress!

[@erinmarie27]

This is absolutely beautiful!

[@cutdepiefails6596]

That is one of the most beautiful estates I ever saw.

Earl of Sandwich? I ate at your restaurant last year.

[@karensmith4006]

Stunning view's ❤

[@atuhairejenniffer35]

All I can imagine is how much it would cost one to hold a wedding at this awesome garden(s) And also the costs of maintaining this amazing home and the huge garden.

[@MappertonLive]

I think you'd be pleasantly surprised when you find out more on our website mappertonweddings.com 😊

[@mariapinto7156]

Maravilloso paraíso en el reino Unido. Arte arquitectónico puro,paisajes idílicos de especies arbóreas escogidas y flores llenas de colores alegres sabiamente ubicadas. Felicidades a éste jardinero magnífico y felicidades a vosotros que nos regalais a todos el contemplar éstos tesoros maravillosos.

[@charmsly9506]

amazing home!

[@edwardmeno3365]

Beautiful!

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you Edward

[@agent4you2]

I don't think I would want a bunch of strangers running around my property, I don't care how big it is. I'm sure renting it helps with the up-keep cost of such a huge property. Beautiful landscape!

[@HauntedFamilyPodcast]

I remember her mother in law talking about how expensive this place is to maintain on the show Ladies of London.

[@pamscruggs2660]

These manor houses have to do it, just like Highclere Castle let Downton Abby film there. I mean I agree, it would be weird but when it costs as much as it does to keep it up and running, you gotta do what you gotta do. Actually just read it takes over 200,000.00 English pounds each year to keep it up and running.

[@dearmaria4654]

At least they had their house gated and private... it's indeed tough to keep these properties not to mention the taxes and historical restorations they need to comply with.

[@tamaracarter1836]

​@@pamscruggs2660 The cost to run some of the grandest English houses can WELL exceed that figure. For example Chatsworth House (Pemberley in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film), cost £16.1 million in 2018 to run for the “year”, not to mention just coming out of a ten year £33 million restoration that involved cleaning, restoring and re-gilding (in 24-carat gold leaf) the house. To put it into perspective only £9.9 million was generated by tourism (admission prices to the house and gardens), during the same year...

[@tamaracarter1836]

​@@helenwang9739 Yes they definitely are extremely rich, but you must also remember that a lot of their wealth is tied up in land, historic property, artwork, furniture, porcelain etc which is all fiercely protected and forbidden to be sold (apparently the art collection hanging in Chatsworth alone has been valued at well over a billion)! They do have a ‘private’ fortune however of their own, but it’s still extremely difficult to spend £16 million every single year just on house maintenance (and that’s only one of the buildings they look after). So even they have to find alternative methods of raising money (tourism, art installations, utilising the estate, fashion shows, being a film location etc).
