Dorset is brimming with the most beautiful venues in which to hold your special day, from elegant manor houses with landscaped gardens to rustic, fairylit barns.

If you want to impress your guests (and get some seriously enviable weddings photos), look no further!

Country House Charm

If you’re looking for a traditional stately home as your backdrop, you’ll be spoilt for choice with Dorset’s selection of venues.

Bursting with period features and oozing character, it's no wonder historic wedding venues are so popular.

Smedmore House is a unique and very special venue for your wedding reception. Hidden away in the Dorset countryside, among rolling hills with sweeping sea views, Smedmore offers the opportunity for an unbelievably romantic and memorable occasion.

The lawn at the front of the house is an excellent marquee site with the Georgian West face of the house behind and sea views to the side.

Stunning boho venues

If the prospect of a rural wedding venue (complete with oak beams and rustic bunting) fills you with excitement, we guarantee you’ll love Dorset’s barn wedding venues.

The Tithe Barn at Symondsbury Estate is an exquisite and quintessentially English Barn dating back to the 14th Century, in an amazing setting within the tranquil village of Symondsbury in West Dorset.

The Barn has recently undergone sympathetic and artistic renovations to enhance its natural beauty, whilst creating an elegant and charming wedding venue.

The venue’s thoughtful restoration includes a galleried area, floor to ceiling glass entrances, under floor heating and stone floors, exposed oak beams and a wooden dance floor, providing a great base for you to dress the venue entirely as you wish.

Relaxed and informal

If your heart is set on an alternative wedding with a laid back, chilled vibe, have you considered a pub venue?

Great food, great drink and all your favourite people in one place – what more could you want?

Dorset has many quaint and cosy countryside pubs to consider, many with beautiful countryside views.

The Silent Woman Inn is a traditional Dorset Inn nestling in its own beautiful garden and provides the perfect venue for your whole day, with a choice of Ceremony locations both inside and outside.
