My husband and I recently got married at The Crown Hotel and couldn’t recommend this beautiful venue more. Everything was perfect and it’s located in the lovely, scenic Blandford Forum. The staff (special thanks to Vince) were incredibly attentive and ensured everything went smoothly and that we didn’t need to worry about timings. This meant we could relax and enjoy the day and take it all in. We are particularly grateful for Laura, the wedding and events coordinator, who planned our day to every tiny detail and it all came together perfectly. The food was incredible and we got many compliments on how delicious it was and the great service. Not to mention the compliments on the lovely venue, guests loved the garden area and hotel guests were very satisfied with their stay. Certainly recommend and can’t wait to come back and visit The Crown. Thank you so much. -

A Fantastic Celebration for our Daughter and Son-in-Law's Wedding, 20th June 2026
Huge thanks to Laura (Wedding & Events Co-ordinator), Vince (Wedding & Events Manager), Gemma & Helen on Reception and all the team at The Crown Hotel, Blandford Forum, for making our daughter’s wedding so magical on Saturday 20th June, 2026. 🎉💕The venue looked absolutely stunning (with also many thanks to Lisa from Novia Events and Laura from Sweetpea florist). You all helped us plan the perfect wedding celebration from start to finish, which Paul Heath, our amazing photographer, captured in fine detail! The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful. Even the sun came out just in time for the ceremony and onwards into a beautiful afternoon and evening to enjoy the outdoor games from The Hire Barn, prior to a fantastic disco courtesy of Ricky Gold (stepping in at the last minute to our huge relief!). 🌅💃 We have all made memories to last a lifetime! Highly recommend The Crown Hotel as a stunning wedding venue with a friendly and dedicated team. 💕xx -

Michael Sent on 23/10/2025Our amazing wedding at The Crown
We had our wedding here on 11th October and it was a magical day.
Laura was fabulous throughout as the wedding organiser, Vince was superb on the day and Gemma was so friendly and helpful when called upon.
The room looked amazing, the grounds were super clean and tidy and the rooms were fantastic as well. We had guests from abroad and they said the booking of the rooms was super easy and nearly a year in advance.
We'd thoroughly recommend.The Crown Hotel's reply:

Wishing you every happiness for married life together.

Amazing Day!
Laura and Rob from The Crown made our special day even more magical with the care and attention they provided. Laura was so helpful and friendly right from the beginning of the process, which was a blessing considering all the other things we had to do. Can't fault anything and would highly recommend this lovely venue :)The Crown Hotel's reply:
It was such a pleasure working with you and Charlotte to plan and celebrate your special day.
Sending you all the very best for married life together.
Best wishes,

Wonderful wedding venue and value for money
The Crown hotel was recommended to us by a friend as a potential venue for our son and his fiance's wedding and we are so glad they chose to get married there. From start to finish , the day ran incredibly smoothly with everyone having a wonderful day. The food was absolutely fantastic , I cannot praise it highly enough. The lamb was just perfect and my wife's Beef wellington was also superbly cooked. The chef and team deserve a huge well done .The room was beautifully decorated and the area outside made a perfect place for all the family and friends photographs to be taken.
We also had around 10 rooms booked overnight for guests and again , our room was a really good size , very clean and comfortable and a delicious breakfast the following morning.
