Beach & Coastal Wedding Venues in Dorset

When it comes to selecting a coastal wedding venue, Dorset is an easy first choice. Dorset is home to the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site with almost one hundred miles of rugged coastline dotted with stunning Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous rock formations. The rest of the county has plenty of other beautiful and ancient sites to visit during your stay, but the seaside itself is the place to say “I do.”

Choosing Your Wedding Venue

The coast of Dorset provides a range of romantic properties where you can tie the knot, from beach hotels to historic castles. For a contemporary setting, head to The Cumberland Hotel, where luxurious event spaces meet breathtaking sea views. This upscale accommodation is perched above miles of golden sand beaches and has comprehensive wedding packages. For something more retro, nowhere is more impressive than Highcliffe Castle. This gothic castle, with its light-filled wintergarden, red brick dining room, and a great hall adorned with glittering stained glass, is something out of a fairytale.

Things To Do in Dorset

On the South Coast you will find numerous activities to amuse you and your guests throughout the wedding weekend. Top of the list is hiking along the Jurassic Coast to discover fossils and staggering rock formations, but we also recommend a trip to the Dark-Sky Reserve in Cranborne Chase AONB. This area of outstanding natural beauty is one of only 17 dark sky regions in the world and is an astounding place to stargaze with your beloved.

Incredible venue in the gardens. A very much do it yourself venue but no limit to suppliers you can use and no corkage! Only small criticism would be I think they need to replace the floors as they have large scratches which makes it look a bit more budget.

We had our wedding weekend at the beautiful carlton hotel on the 27th April 2024. All the hotel staff went above and beyond our expectations and our special day was flawess. All our guest comments on how, friendly, attentive and amazing hardworking every staff member was over the entire weekend. I would highly recommend having your wedding here the ceremony room is absolutely beautiful with sea views even if the weather isn't great the room is still big and bright. The food was excellent throughout the weekend and all guest had positive feedback. I would like ro make a special mention to Mark(special events manager) who organised our wedding from start to finish and how passionate he was ensuring our wedding went perfectly. He is a credit to the hotel.

We chose the Marine Theatre for a number of lovely reasons with it meaning something to us both separately but they really did make it mean something truly impossible to put into words. From the first time we met Gabi to on the day with Andy, who duty managed on the day, everyone we encountered was beyond brilliant and kept everything moving so efficiently (and seamlessly!). We will never be able to thank the Marine Theatre enough and we will always remember this sensational place and its people for what they did for us!
