We had a perfect day from start to finish, which we know is what everyone hopefully says about their wedding day but there really aren't enough words to say how amazing Karmacations is. We are both second timers when it comes to weddings so wanted a nice relaxing day with friends and family.
We first came across Kitty and Karmacations in January 2024 on a typical cold wintry day and even then could see the potential of it as a venue even though it had only just had approval for weddings.
Fast forward to April 2026 and there aren't enough words or photos that can do it justice. All our guests said how stunning it was and our photographers, said it would definitely be in their top 5 of locations across the world.
From Day 1 Kitty was brilliant, plenty of dialogue, whats app messages and suggestions back and forth. We knew roughly what we wanted and she was always on hand with suggestions and ideas, but was never pushy like some venues can be. We were able to have regular visits over the 2 years and had free reign over our suppliers, there was no pressure to go with any one specific.
In the week before once the marquee went up we were able to be hands on and visit as often as we wanted in order to help dress the marquee. Kitty has a great eye for detail and ideas on how to dress the tables which we were grateful for as arranging vases and place settings is absolutely not a skill we possess if we want it to look nice and not like a bunch of toddlers have been let loose.
Kitty's gardens are absolutely stunning, there are deer, pheasants, foxes, badgers and rabbits which you can sit and watch with a cup of tea from the bungalow that you stay in. At one point after the barn owl flew over in the early morning we half expected to see seven dwarfs coming marching up the path accompanied by bluebirds to help with the day.
The day itself was so chilled, no stress and Kitty was on hand the entire time, always in the background making sure that everything was running as it should. At one point we did manage to get her on the dance floor as we wanted her to feel like a guest rather than just the owner of the venue.
A number of people have asked us if we can do it again and a few couples were heard wondering if they could book it for vow renewals.
A big shout out to Dikes of Stalbridge who did the catering and ran the bar for us, food was all freshly made, there was plenty of it and the staff behind the bar were great.
One Thousand Words photography also fantastic, really looking forward to seeing the photos in a few weeks time.
Kitty has a beautiful home and gardens and is rightly very proud of them and we feel very privileged that we were able to get married there. Some photos are attached which were taken by people on the day.

We were the first couple to officially marry at Karmacations, and we couldn’t have asked for a more stunning and unique venue. We created the exact wedding we envisioned and Kitty was fully supportive. This venue is perfect if you want to be hands on with all aspects of the wedding planning process. An amazing and affordable location that made the most memorable day.

We got married at Karmacations in Dorset on the 14th of June, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The venue itself is absolutely magical — the Japanese gardens were the perfect, serene backdrop for our day, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and unique the setting was.

We opted for an afternoon tea, which was not only delicious but beautifully presented — such a charming and relaxed way to celebrate with loved ones.

A huge shout-out to Kitty, the owner, who went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to say “I do.” Highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly special and intimate wedding venue.

From the moment we set foot in the incredible venue, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our big day. The breath-taking scenery and beautiful attention to detail, made for a stunning backdrop, but it was the exceptional service and attention to detail from the owner, Kitty that truly elevated our experience.

Kitty went above and beyond in every aspect of our wedding planning. They took the time to understand our vision and worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was meticulously organised. From the initial consultation to the final moments of our reception, Kitty was there to guide us, offering invaluable suggestions and accommodating our requests with genuine enthusiasm.

The day of our wedding was nothing short of magical. Kitty and their team seamlessly orchestrated everything, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a single worry. Every setup was executed flawlessly, from the stunning floral arrangements to the perfectly timed music. It was evident that they poured their heart and soul into making our day as special as possible for us, and effortlessly dealt with everything behind the scenes with a level of expertise that showcases years of experience.

The feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive; they couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful venue and the warm hospitality they experienced. It truly felt like we were surrounded by family, thanks to the genuine care and effort that Kitty put into our celebration.

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that not only offers a picturesque setting but also a personalised experience, look no further than Karmacations. We are forever grateful for the incredible memories made here and for Kitty’s unwavering commitment to making our wedding day a dream come true!
