We held our wedding reception in the Hayloft at the Bull Hotel and had such a lovely time (despite the rain)! The team went out of their way to help us and ensure we were enjoying ourselves on the day. The food was great and the portions were very generous - we had so many comments from guests about how good it was. The pricing is incredibly fair considering how you much you get! We stayed overnight and our room was beautifully designed, taking into consideration the heritage of the building, and the roll top bath was an added bonus. The breakfast offering the next day was also delicious. We would 100% recommend and would definitely stay again! A special thank you to Kerry, Merlin and Sophie, and anyone else who helped out on the day :)

As a wedding videographer I visited St Giles 3 times and it was always so great experience! Everything is so wonderful, staff is so helpful and everything went smooth every time. 100 % recommend. Peter – perkypugfilms.com

Minterne House was our wild card wedding venue but we knew as soon as we drove up the drive that it was the one. Emily made us feel so relaxed and was incredibly helpful at recommending suppliers. The venue is a showstopper and came with the added bonus of being able to host friends and family in onsite accommodation. It meant the world to have friends who’d flown in stay close by and experience the Dorset countryside in all its glory. We’re already planning on booking out an onsite cottage for our wedding anniversary! The day was absolute perfection - thank you Emily and the Minterne House team!

Upway wishing well is such a beautiful venue! Delicious food and amazing staff. We did part hire for the numbers we had and had the choice of where the ceremony would take place. Jacci is very organised and explained to us everything we needed to know about how the day would run, what sections of the venue would be ours for the day and how everything would work which was very helpful and exciting when planning. We had the high tea package which was perfect and delicious and any guest allergies were managed immaculately. All the staff were amazing and helped make our day so special. We couldn’t thank them enough!

Our wedding day was absolutely phenomenal—everything went perfectly from start to finish! It truly was the best day of our lives. Tracey, the duty managers, and the entire team went above and beyond to take care of us, ensuring every detail was flawless. From the moment we booked five months before the wedding to the very last moment of our special day, their support was unwavering. We honestly cannot fault them in any way; everything ran seamlessly. We are beyond grateful for their incredible service, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how wonderfully they were looked after too. We cannot recommend them highly enough—thank you, Royal Bath, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding so magical and unforgettable!

It was brilliant working with all the staff at Kingston Maurward, especially Danielle who was amazing, organised, fun to work with and nothing was too much trouble. The whole wedding (suppliers booked through KM) was excellent value for money and I highly recommend.

Laura and the team were absolutely amazing, kept us updated throughout the whole journey and on the day they were fab!! There was only 1 problem and it was sorted straight away!! The day went so smoothly and the staff were absolutely fab. Beautiful venue and amazing for photos!!!

We were married at Christchurch Harbour Hotel on Saturday 10th May! From the moment we booked, to the day itself, the team at Harbour were so supportive and helpful. They answered all my questions, corresponded with suppliers to ensure we could definitely have everything we wanted for our wedding, and checked in with us regularly to see if they could assist with anything during the planning period. Sher, our coordinator for the day, made sure everything went to plan! Would recommend CHH to everyone!

Wow wow wow, what a venue!! Getting full use of the house and gardens is everything you need. Staff are super helpful and keep everything running so smoothly from the 1st meeting all the way through to the end of the wedding day. Cannot recommend this place enough and if your looking for an all in one venue that offers picturesque gardens and views this is the best place to go. October wedding 2025
