A Midsummer Night’s Dream Of A Wedding Venue!

The luscious and verdant Larmer Tree Gardens has a magical and majestic feel. Picturesque peacocks preen, terrific temples tantalise and a wide range of garden games delight! The show-stopping stage acted as the perfect backdrop for our wedding reception and we strongly recommend the acoustic duo and band from Neon State who set the tone and the acoustic guitarist and singer Leigh Coleman who played perfectly through dinner and for golden hour outside. It goes without saying that Amy- our coordinator - was a total legend throughout the process and massively on the day, as was the entire team, always helping efficiently and effectively. They really are stellar professionals and you couldn’t be in better hands. The week run-up couldn’t have been easier thanks to them- guests kept on commenting that we were so relaxed; A M Y that three letter word was our reason!! Forking Out’s canapés were delectable and the Pavilion Feast was truly delectable and had the added benefit of encouraging interaction from guests. Our phenomenal florist down the road, Mollie and the team at Pamplemousse knew just how to dress the pavilion to perfection; phenomenal gypsophila clouds floated above our heads, divine delphiniums flanked the table ends and romantic, rustic posies festooned the tables. Paul Underhill, our photographer, captured the day exquisitely and Harry Fynn created a genius video which reflected the energy and dynamism of the day. If you’re searching for an idyllic, unique and memorable venue, look no further, we couldn’t have had a better wedding day! Huge thanks to all involved.

A fantastic wedding venue!

We recently had our winter wedding at Larmer Tree Gardens, and we couldn’t have asked for a more magical venue. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning surroundings, which provided the perfect backdrop for a festive and romantic celebration. The historic architecture, twinkling fairy lights, and beautifully kept gardens made for an enchanting winter wonderland—an ideal setting for a Christmas wedding.

A huge shoutout to Amy, our coordinator, who was absolutely incredible. From the early planning stages to the big day itself, she was always on hand to answer questions, offer advice, and ensure everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail and calm, reassuring presence meant we could truly relax and enjoy our day, knowing everything was in expert hands.

The food, provided by Forking Out, was simply outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with guests still raving about it long after the wedding. They were also incredibly accommodating, tailoring the menu to suit our preferences and ensuring that every dietary requirement was met without any fuss.

What made the day even more special was how well the venue lent itself to a winter wedding. The cozy, festive atmosphere was enhanced by the beautiful indoor spaces, warm lighting, and the magical feel of the gardens, even in the colder months. Our guests loved exploring the venue, and it made for some breathtaking photos.

We couldn’t have dreamed of a better place to celebrate with our family and friends. If you’re considering a winter or Christmas wedding, Larmer Tree Gardens is truly perfect. The combination of the stunning setting, exceptional staff, and delicious food made our day unforgettable. We wish we could do it all over again!

Dream venue for our autumn wedding!

We always loved Larmer Tree Gardens since we started going to the music festival in the early 2010s. When it came to choosing a venue, this was always top of our list for its beautiful grounds and the resident peacocks!

What we didn't expect was the fantastic wedding planning service that the venue also provided. We had Amy and then Sinead from Larmer Tree who were both warm, helpful and responsive. Nothing was too complex to organise and they helped us think through our day, the decorations, logistics and more.

The catering was provided by Forking Out which is Larmer Tree's selected supplier. The tasting was fabulous and we were allowed to bring up to 4 guests with us.

On the day, Sinead helped organise everyone - from the bridal party to the suppliers to the guests. She also helped us with our decorations that had to be put out on the day which really helped alleviate our already full plates. We didn't have to think about logistics at all given Sinead was there throughout the day, up until late evening.

We would highly recommend Larmer Tree if you're looking for a unique wedding location.

Our Celestial Wedding

My husband and I will forever be grateful that we booked The Larmer Tree to host our wedding, on 6th November 2024. As soon as we visited the venue for one of their supplier open days and to meet the team for the first time, we absolutely knew that this is where we would get married. Our wedding coordinator Sinead was incredible from start to finish, very passionate about her job, and very intelligent and confident in her role. As Sinead had also gotten married there, it was like she knew the place like the back of her hand. There wasn't a single moment where we felt at a loss, and she was with us every step of the way (even when I was running 20 minutes late!) It was an absolute pleasure working with and getting to know her, and we will forever be grateful to have her on our side. The rest of the team were incredibly on the ball with ensuring that everything was uptogether and it was amazing working with them.

This is truly a day that we will remember forever. We had the best day and I would recommend The Larmer Tree to anyone looking for the perfect venue to host their wedding. It is picturesque, quirky, and truly memorable.

Thank you so much for being with us on our special day 🥰✨️💖🌟

Beautiful day!

We had the most perfect wedding day at the Larmer Tree Gardens. Planning the wedding from abroad, we were slightly concerned with everything working to plan and our vision coming to life given we could only visit the venue once before the wedding. Amy, our wedding coordinator, ensured everything went to plan - she was calm and reassuring, exceptionally organised and good fun to be around. The team at forking out provided perfect food, including catering for a variety of different dietary requirements and not one person got the wrong meal! Everyone said the food was delicious.

Highly recommend!!

Larmer Tree is the perfect wedding venue!

If you are looking for an outstanding all round wedding venue then look no further than Larmer Tree! We got married there on the 23 May 2024 and had the best day ever. We found the venue online and came for a visit where we immediately fell in love with the location and Larmer Tree Team. Amy showed us around the venue and made us feel like the only couple getting married there this year. She was very friendly and professional which made us feel at ease immediately. We then attended the very informative wedding fayre where we selected a number of our suppliers for the wedding.

When we committed to Larmer Tree we knew we had made the right choice. In the run up to the wedding Amy was attentive and understanding and made sure nothing was too much to ask for. On the day of the wedding Larmer Tree looked beautiful. All of our guests were impressed with the lovely gardens and the attentive staff. We got married in front of the lovely Roman temple and had canapés on the lawn before heading inside for a delicious wedding breakfast. Larmer Tree only allow you to use the Forkingout caterers for the wedding breakfast. Don’t be alarmed they are brilliant. They serve delicious food and all our guests were blown away by the main course and desserts. The Larmer Tree team were brilliant all day, checking in on us and making sure everything was ok for our special day.

There was a hiccup where the registrar had forgot about our wedding. Amy called Wiltshire ceremonies office asked where they were before the ceremony started. Had Amy not done this we may not have got married at all. The registrar arrived an hour later and we carried on with the day but we are so grateful to Amy for contacting them. Throughout the rest of the day the Larmer Tree team ensured everything ran smoothly and made sure we were as relaxed as possible. A brilliant thing is Larmer Tree also pack up everything so in the morning everything is boxed up and ready to go.
Thank you so much Amy and the team for making it such a special day. We will definitely be renewing our vows at Larmer Tree in the future.

Sinead, Amy and all the staff at Larmer Tree

The Larmer Tree, what an absolute first class service we had in the lead up to our wedding and on the day. We We had The Best Day. The grounds were stunning, the set up and marquee were beautiful, the food and service from Forking Out was excellent. Every member of our wedding party loved the day, it was relaxed, joyous and seemless. I doubt words can truly express how lovely the day was. We stayed both the night before and wandered the grounds to plan our wedding photographs. Liason with others provider was again excellent. On the day the running of the event was seemless and so very relaxed. Thank you Larmer Tree we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.

The most amazing and special venue!

We had our wedding at Larmer Tree Gardens in March 2024 and it was an absolute dream come true! The venue itself is so unique and special, however what truly made our experience exceptional was the amazing team that work there. We were so lucky to have Francesca as our wedding coordinator. She gave us complete reassurance in the lead-up to our wedding day and was able to help us make the right decisions and solve any challenges that arose. Our guests were equally impressed by all the staff at Larmer Tree Gardens, including the Forking Out catering team. Everyone was so friendly, and attentive, and made sure everyone had a brilliant time.

We cannot thank Francesca and the team enough for making our wedding day so special. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Larmer Tree Gardens for anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue and for their excellent facilities to ensure couples are well prepared and looked after. Larmer Tree will always hold a very special place in our lives and we look forward to going back to visit in the future to relive the amazing memories.

Our Day Was So Beautiful

Larmer Tree was absolutely the right choice for us for our wedding. Our coordinator, Amy, went above and beyond to help us with everything leading up to the wedding. There wasn't a question she couldn't answer - even when it was 2 weeks before the wedding and I sent her a mile-long email full of last-minute questions! The venue is so beautiful and surrounded by so much greenery and nature, it doesn't matter what the weather is it will be stunning regardless. The staff were able to transform our outdoor ceremony to an indoor ceremony at a moments notice when the weather was not going to be in our favour - and it was just as beautiful. We cannot thank and recommend the staff at Larmer Tree enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The most incredible day of our lives, at the most incredible venue

We honestly could not ask for a better wedding day. It was simply the best day of our lives, and Larmer Tree was an integral part of that.
From the stunning backdrops, the incredible staff, the amazing food and just a simply stunning venue. Although we knew how amazing Larmer Tree was from prior visits, it just felt even more incredible on the day.
Francesca our wedding coordinator was simply faultless and made everything run so smoothly from the moment we booked, right up to the day. It is safe to say we could not have gone without Francesca.
Larmer Tree will hold a special place in our lives moving forward and we can’t wait to come back in the years to come and reminisce. Thank you for everything Larmer Tree!

Amazing experience

Francesca and her team were absolutely amazing! We felt kept in the loop during every stage of planning, and the day itself was smooth as could be. They were very understanding of the bride's coeliac allergy and did a fabulous job taking care of us. Would highly recommend!

The most incredible venue with the most incredible team

From the second we set foot in The Larmer Tree Gardens we knew it was the wedding venue for us. It is absolutely breathtaking and the Singing Theatre truly stole my heart. We were incredibly fortunate to have Amy as our wedding coordinator, she is the most calming person I’ve ever met and her attention to detail is second to none, she is so organised, methodical and quick to respond, everything you could ask for when navigating the trials and joys of planning your wedding. In fact everyone at the Larmer Tree was wonderful, helpful, polite and prompt. The day itself was absolutely seamless, so many of our guests commented on how they loved the fact that the day just flowed from one part of the gardens to the next and you never knew what delights were in store for you next. That was the beauty of the venue, there are so many areas to take advantage of, from the gardens themselves, to the stage, to the pavilion and the jubilee hall. Forking Out - the sole caterers for the Larmer Tree were also amazing and the food was exquisite. We couldn’t recommend this venue more.

Amy is a superstar

Our wedding at Larmer Tree Gardens in Salisbury was absolutely perfect! The venue is beautiful and the weather was great, but what really made it all come together was Amy. She was so organized from the very start of our planning process a year ago, and she kept her cool through the entire event. Her calmness and poise was remarkable, and she truly went above and beyond to make sure our special day ran smoothly. We can’t thank her enough for her hard work; she is a real superstar!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
