Stately Home Venues In Dorset

Discover the beautiful rural county of Dorset, home to sweeping fields, hilltop towns, and sandy beaches. If that sounds good to you, why not consider hosting your special day in one of Dorset’s many stately home wedding venues? With such a vast range of manor homes to choose from, you will be spoiled for choice when searching for your perfect Dorset venue.

How To Prepare To Search For Your Perfect Dorset Stately Home

Before you begin your journey to find a stately home venue in the picturesque county of Dorset, it is helpful to first set aside a budget. This will help focus your search and ensure that you don’t fall for a venue that you won’t be able to hire. Next, ensure that you have your guest list finalised. This will be useful when narrowing down potential venues as you can shortlist the venues that can accommodate your wedding party.

How To Decide On A Stately Home Wedding Venue In Dorset

Once you have found Dorset venues that meet your budget and guestlist requirements, it is time to reach out to ask your favourite stately home venues the important questions. Ask your Dorset potentials if they provide exclusive use of their spaces, what services they offer, and their deposit/cancellation policies. You can prepare a list of questions ahead of time to help to ensure that you don’t forget any essential points.
