At The Coppleridge Inn, we believe every love story deserves a setting as unforgettable as your day itself! Nestled in the heart of North Dorset, we are a farmhouse which has been converted into a timeless inn set in 10-acres of meadows and woodlands with sprawling views of the Duncliffe Wood and the Blackmore Vale. Whether you want to walk down the aisle here or enjoy your wedding breakfast and celebrate into the night with us or both! We have a range of options for both the ceremony and the reception.

Have your civil ceremony with us in our Garden Room with up to 30 guests, in our Function Barn with up to 140 guests or outside in our beautiful Wedding Arbour with up to 140 guests (in the Spring we have bluebells lining the path down to the Wedding Arbour to add extra magic to your day!)

With 3 reception venues, we have the perfect space for receptions of any size – our Rustic Stretch Tent with a capacity of 150 seated and 200+ for the evening, our Function Barn with a capacity of 70 seated and 120 for the evening, and our Garden Room with a capacity of 35 seated.

We have 10 rooms set around a courtyard of fishponds and relaxed outdoor seating for guests, all with views of our beautiful grounds. If up to 25 of your guests staying on-site isn’t enough for you, then we can offer the option of a bell tent village put up to make your weekend more of a festival style with all guests staying here.

Whatever the season, we have an ideal spot here to host the wedding of your dreams. From a bluebell lined aisle for your ceremony in Spring, to sprawling gardens for lawn games and an outdoor bar perfect for the Summer, to Autumnal beauty with leaves falling from our oak tress and a sea of orange and reds on the horizon, to the perfect Winter wedding in our function barn getting married in front of our cozy log burner.

We pride ourselves with having a very professional team, both to help with the planning and co-ordination of your wedding as well as our bar, service and kitchen teams on the day! Our wedding team is a mix of experience and excitement, and always here to take your stress away. We are a team of 4, meaning there will always be at least one of us here on the day to make sure your day is smooth and perfect, just as you have planned it! We are always an email or a phone call away from the moment you book with us to help plan and guide you throughout your journey to the aisle.

Whether you envision a romantic outdoor exchange of vows, a candlelit banquet, or a lively dance under our canopy of festoon lighting, The Coppleridge Inn is here to bring your vision to life. We don’t just host weddings, we help create memories that last a lifetime.
