About

Weddings at Deans Court are all about taking away the stress that can sometimes come with planning an elaborately detailed event and instead, keeping the elements which you really want – a fun, relaxed and memorable day to celebrate the beginning of your new lives together.

Having hosted receptions since 2011 we have learned is that we are something different. There are many venues offering perfectly straight hedge-rows and immaculately manicured flower beds, whereas Deans Court is a little more quirky, a little bit wild, whilst being truly romantic. So we thought we would embrace that, play to our strengths and put together some wedding packages that reflect that relaxed, country style. These packages work great for parties up to 140 – anymore and we can discuss other arrangements.

Deans Court is a private home you can rest assured that there will be no other visitors wondering around. And your day needs to revolve around you. So let us know what time you would like to arrive, when you would like to eat, and when you would like to party! We have a late night music licence until 11pm (and the bar closes at 11:30).

Perfect stumbling distance from the marquee you will find our recently renovated farmers cottages and our gate house. Sleeping up to 28 people in total, they are available for your guests who have travelled far, or perhaps for you as a perfect bridal (or grooms) get-a-way!

Relaxed Country Feel
Exclusive Hire of the Deans Court Gardens

Dean's Court Wedding 17.9.21

Brilliant from start to finish. Johnathon and the team were excellent at communicating with us in the planning stages of our wedding and really listened to our thoughts and ideas for the day. We dropped all our decorations etc to them, and they were able to recreate exactly what we had in our minds, but make it even better than we had imagined!!
The day itself was incredible, the Dean's Court staff worked quietly behind these scenes to make it run so smoothly from start to finish. Our guests had an excellent day and were taken care of so well. For us.. it was the best day of our lives!

(Awaiting pictures from photographer..ones below don't quite do it justice!)

Can not fault a thing totally perfect experience from start to finish!

The perfect venue for a Wedding! Jonathan the events manager was there for us every step of the way and so very well organised and we cannot thank him and his staff enough for making our day or should I say days run so perfectly. We got married in August 2020 in the midst of Covid with only 30 guests. Due to the rain we had to get married inside the house but this was perfect and didn’t spoil our day. We spent two hours in the house drinking champagne and eating cake and we were made to feel so very welcome! This year we were lucky enough to continue our wedding celebrations in the marquee and grounds of Deans Court which looked so beautiful both inside and out. Having not seen the venue in its full glory we were certainly impressed and blown away by how wonderful it all looked and fitted our expectations perfectly! The outside lighting was impressive and the fire pits were an added bonus for our guests to enjoy! The staff were fantastic and made sure everyone’s glasses were being filled and the canapés we supplied were being continually served. Throughout the evening this service continued. We couldn’t imagine a more perfect setting for our wedding and for the attention to detail supplied by Deans Court and therefore we would highly recommend Deans Court to anyone wanting a chilled and relaxed full of fun venue.

The most perfect wedding venue

As soon as we viewed the venue we fell in love with it. A hidden gem, tucked away off the high street of beautiful Wimborne. Jonathan and the team were amazing through out and helped us to create the day we had always dreamt of. The setting really needs no additional extras as it is just stunning but the team allow you the flexibility to make it your own and put your own stamp on things. We cannot thank them enough and can't wait to visit again in the future.

The perfect venue for the perfect day!

Deans Court is such a brilliant venue and a real hidden gem! We discovered Deans Court when we first started wedding planning and immediately knew that it had exactly the feel that we were looking for with a relaxed outdoor wedding. Jonathan was so supportive throughout the process of putting everything together and this was especially so when the pandemic hit and we had to make some decisions about what we wanted for our wedding. Jonathan and Deans Court were really flexible with options as the restrictions were changing and applied no pressure on us during this time to force a decision.

When we were able to go ahead as planned this year, Deans Court could not have been more professional and accommodating- answering all questions we had, supporting with any worries and ideas and also letting us use the site for our engagement photoshoot. On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly with Jonathan and his team on hand throughout the day- nothing was too much trouble! Deans Court team member Sam even took the care and time to help with my dress when my family struggled to find the fiddly train hook up to get ready for the first dance! We had so many compliments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, the flow of the day (which is completely down to the professionalism of the team!) and the beautiful setting. Some guests even said that it was the best wedding they have ever attended! We could not have been happier with how our day went and highly recommend Deans Court to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Dorset. Thank you so much to Jonathan and the team for making our day so special!

If you haven't booked Deans Court, you need to!

Where do we start!
When we came across Dean Court we felt so fortunate as its such a beautiful Venue, soon as we walked into the grounds, we were shown around and we knew we were going to get married there.

Jonathan and his team are a massive compliment to Deans Court, he went out of his way to help us plan our wedding especially with us getting married in 'Covid' times, rules were changing constantly with new guidelines being put in place, which was confusing for us but Jonathan had everything at hand and made us feel very at ease. He went out of his way to make sure we could have our wedding exactly how we wanted. Katherine and Steve (the super duo team!) made the running of the day go as smoothly as possible - from setting in the morning to calling taxis in the evening, they did it all! Our suppliers we had booked for the day all made comments on how great Deans Court are as a venue and all were very excited to be working there.

We cannot wait to hang our photos getting married in such beautiful grounds and have those lasting memories forever, this place will always have a special place in our hearts.

Deans Court are not like most venues that turn weddings around all day every day - they only book so many a year so they focus on the wedding at hand and keep a personal touch. If you haven't already booked Deans Court, you need to!

Ellie and Scott wedding Good friday 2022

We cannot put into words how brilliant our time with Deans Court was. The venue it stunning, the accommodation is second to none. Each and every person said it was the BEST wedding they had ever been to. It was the most beautiful day. The people, especially Jonathan and Katherine, supported us through each and every tiny detail and followed us around making sure we had food, drinks even a coat. They catered for every single thing and helped us achieve the most perfect day. It was beyond anything we could have imagined. Due to covid we even had a small official ceremony in 2021 before our big day this year (2022) and they helped us in every way they could. They are also such lovely people, DOG FRIENDLY which was a huge bonus for us and we are sad to see it come to an end.
Our journey with Deans Court to finally achieve our 'big day' has been nothing short of OUTSTANDING.
Would highly recommend to anyone getting married. This venue has everything!

Beautiful venue, amazing team!

We got married at Deans Court this year and we cannot recommend this beautiful venue enough.
We had a couple of postponements due to covid but Jonathon was so accommodating and stayed in contact with us throughout it all making sure we had our perfect day.
We are just so glad we picked Deans Court for our day and wish we could do it all over again!

Better than we could ever imagine!

There aren’t enough ways to describe how perfect our wedding planning experience and Wedding Day was at Deans Court. We had booked pre-Covid and had to postpone, which means we have been in contact with Jonathan and the team for a long time. Jonathan was always quick to respond to queries, extremely helpful and never made anything feel like too much trouble. The actual day itself was beyond anything we had both imagined. We had rain on the day, which meant in the morning we had to take the decision to hold our ceremony in the house. Even though this was a ‘Plan B’, Georgia and the team kept everything calm, ensured all ran smoothly and our ceremony was intimate and beautiful. We absolutely loved it! Thankfully, the rain did ease up in the evening which meant our guests got to enjoy the beautiful grounds too. I cannot speak highly enough of Jonathan, Georgia and Katherine who made the day run so smoothly, helped decorate beautifully, and made sure we were both fed and watered throughout the day! Our guests have all said how wonderful the day was, and we know that is testament to the work the staff at Deans Court put in. We’re only sad it’s over & we can’t do it again!

The best day of our lives!

We had the best day celebrating our wedding with family and friends at Deans Court. After our service at Hampreston Church all the guests embarked on Deans Court where Jonathan and his team looked after us from start to finish. The marquee was set up fantastically, the gardens were beautiful and the sun shone for the whole day. Our guests all mentioned how amazing the venue was and the service from every single member of staff was second to none. A big shout out has to go to Jonathan, Katherine and Georgia who went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly. We would without a doubt recommend Deans Court to anyone who is looking to get married.

Dean's Court Wedding 01.10.21 (Magical)

I dont think i can thank Jonathan and the team enough at Deans Court, they really do go above and beyond for you. From the moment we booked back in 2019 Jonathan has been incredible in making us feel reassured, calm all through covid. The day itself - i mean WOW what a day. It really was just magical and we could not fault a thing. What makes it even more special is you know the team are at hand to help and make sure its all running smoothly. The bar staff, food staff all so happy and friendly. My friends and family, so many of them said it was one of the nicest venues they've been too. If we had to choose to do it all over, i would choose deans court all over again. The prettiest, well hidden gem. To top it off we booked all 3 cottages and my we were so glad we did, to have these all the week leading up and days after the wedding made it feel like an actual holiday and it wasn't over in just one day. The cottages - outstanding. Thank you all for everything, A huge shout out to Jonathan. You have been awesome thank you - Deans Court I highly recommend. :) love

Ideal venue

The team went above and beyond with every one of our requirements! We had the best day and the staff were everywhere and no where. As soon as a drink was half empty, they were there. Before we had to ask if something could be done, you would turn around and it was done. Amazing service. Beautiful venue & the best day of our lives!
