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.
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.
