Sebastien, Amy and the staff were wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. The venue was stunning and the food and service second to none. Would highly recommend.Everything was so immaculate! Venue Service By Rory, on 07 Jun 2018Date of Wedding - 15 Jul 2017 Me, Martin, our parents, our families & friends were in utter awe, amazement and joy at what a superb day you laid on for us. Everything was so immaculate, everyone was so friendly, courteous and all of you couldn't do enough for us. Me & Martin were personally so touched by the help, support, kindness and smiles you brought to every step of our Wedding. It exceeded all of our expectations and that of our family and friends. It is a real moment on our lives we will look back on with such endearment, love and joy. Me and Martin sat up at 2am after it had finished and you know...there was not one thing we could tweak, be critical over, or anything. We were so lucky to have our Big day in such amazing hands and we just wanted to thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for all your energy, time, support, fun and joy. From everyone in our wedding party. Please pass on our most sincere love, we are so proud to have used your amazing services, personalities and venue.They made our day awesome Venue Service By Natasha, on 07 Jun 2018Date of Wedding - 02 Jun 2016 Had our day Friday 2nd June at the Haven and cannot praise or thank Sebastian and his team enough , nothing was too much for them and helped in every way , they made our day awesome and was great to relay on them so I was not stressed , thank you all soo much, all the best from Mr & Mrs CrossGreat place to tie the knot Venue Service By Carolyn & Peter Boyd, on 28 May 2002We will long reflect with warm feelings our wedding day at the Haven. It’s got to be one of the best locations for a wedding in the whole of Dorset. Set overlooking shell bay with the Purbeck hills in the distance it looks fantastic. All the staff could not do enough to help and the food was superb. We soundly recommend this venue to anyone wishing to get married somewhere special.
