Athelhampton is one of Dorset's finest Wedding venues. Our team of professional staff work hard to ensure your experience is perfect from the the first planning meeting to the last dance. 

Enjoy a wedding ceremony in the historic Great Hall, and then enjoy drinks and canapes throughout the Grade 1 listed gardens. The perfect setting for your photographs and for you and your guests to relax. 

The Reception meal will follow served in the Long Hall dining room or the Conservatory. Let our chefs prepare your meal using locally sourced fresh ingredients. We provide a courteous, efficient and unobtrusive service and our Catering & Restaurant Managers will oversee every detail of your day. Enjoy entertainment in the evening with drink from our bar and an evening buffet if you wish.

Of course your day will be planned to run like clockwork, you will meet with our Catering Manager, Wedding Co-ordinator and Head Chef, which will lead to meticulous planning. 

All our menus are tailor made to your specific requirements and the wines selected to suit. A menu and wine tasting is often organised for our couples.

Do you have something different in mind for your wedding? tell us about it. Every day is planned just for you, so if you want to have speeches or cake cutting outside, an evening barbeque or hog roast then that is fine. It is your day after all!
