MY TOP FIVE FAVOURITE WEDDING VENUES IN DORSET

 

Dorset in the South of England is one of the most beautiful places in the country! Sandy beaches, beautiful forests, Castles and Churches! We are so spoilt with choice for a wedding!


I LOVE shooting at a variety of venues, there's so many pretty ones! But where will  you choose to get married?!


I thought I would share FIVE of my favourite venues in Dorset! All different and unique in their own ways!



First off, HIGHCLIFFE CASTLE! If your looking for the wow factor and you want feel like a real life princess for the day, this could be the venue for you! The exterior building, the architecture and the grounds are spectacular! It has a rustic but modern feel to it which I absolutely LOVE!

Secondly, THE NICI HOTEL situated in Bournemouth. If you are looking for a stylish, modern and chic hotel THIS is the hotel to do it in! WOW I love everything this hotel has to offer. The exterior of the building is modern, at the back of the property there is a stunning outdoor pool! The interior is funky and modern! Every room you go in has a different vibe, but it always looks elegant and chic! The BONUS with this hotel is you have the beach on your doorstep! After those beautiful beach shots? A short two minute walk and you'll be down to the sandy beach.

The staff and food are outstanding and I can highly recommend the venue personally.



Thirdly, LULWORTH CASTLE, another WOW venue! The castle is huge! The opportunity for photographs is unlimited! The interior and exterior is simply stunning and the perfect place for a big beautiful wedding! I love the huge steps leading up to the castle, which is a perfect spot for couple portraits and for group shots. The ceremony room and reception room doesn't need much in terms of styling because it is already beautiful the way it is. The exposed brick work and colours are the perfect back drop.



Fourth, THE ITALIAN VILLA, Poole, Dorset. Again we have another stunning venue. The grounds are spectacular with beautifully preened gardens and a pretty pond directly outside the building. You can get married outside or inside and you are guaranteed some stunning pictures around the grounds.



And lastly, KINGSTON MAURWARD, Dorchester, Dorset. This is a beautiful 18th-century house, an idyllic setting for the perfect wedding! The building is the perfect backdrop for couple portraits. The building is surrounded by a stunning lake and extensive grounds. You can host your wedding ceremony outside or inside  and hold a beautiful wedding breakfast in the building. The building sports high ceilings, stunning chandeliers and fireplaces fit for a King or Queen!

So there we have it, my top FIVE favourite wedding venues in Dorset. I love so many venues, there's too many to list! I hope you have enjoyed reading and I hope I can inspire you to check out these venues for yourself to see which ones you love!
