The most magical day!

Wow! The most incredible venue! From our first venue tour at Deans Court we came out and knew that it was the perfect venue for us. The location and the grounds are stunning, and it was perfect for us. Georgia and the whole team at Deans Court were fabulous, from planning the day and our thousands of questions, to the running of the day itself we didn’t have to think of anything. We had access to the venue the day before which was great and we used the accommodation on site which added to the lovely homely feel. We truly had the best day and it couldn’t have happened without the fabulous team at Deans Court, and Georgia in particular who helped our day run magically from start to finish, with a hint of pixie dust too. Would 1000% recommend to anyone!

Stop looking for another wedding venue!

If you are looking for a beautiful, romantic, picturesque venue then Deans Court is the place. From the moment we entered the venue we knew it was for us. It is the best background on which to build a wedding in your own personalised style. Every detail from the number of guests (we were small at 50), catering arrangements, entertainment and decor completely of your choosing. This was made so easy by the wonderful events team at Deans Court led by Georgia, who is totally invested in making your day come to life as you want it. She is incredibly professional, warm, and and an excellent communicator. Her organisational skills an attention to detail ensures your day plays out as you visualise it. Everyone in the team we encountered were equally lovely and despite this being their core business really made us feel special. The venue grounds are beautifully maintained, and provide a wonderful backdrop for photos of the day, we were even able to have our dogs join us!
We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day but there is an indoor contingency if the weather isn't kind. We are so grateful for the Hanham family for sharing their home, to the Deans Court staff especially the wonderful events team for giving us a day that we, our friends and family will remember and treasure forever.

Simply the best!!

I am not sure where to start! Georgia and the team at Deans court were amazing from the moment we secured our date. No question was a silly question and Georgia would go out of her way to try and make all our requests happen. They are very open with food and drinks options which worked for us as you did not just have to use one supplier which we liked. There is on site accommodation (we did not use this as we were local) which is very convenient if you have family coming from afar. We had access to the venue in the days leading up to the event which was lovely as I could see it all coming together before the day itself. The team at Denas court are so talented that I just provided the decorative pieces and some of my ideas and they really turned it into reality. Nothing was too much to ask even when it did involve moving items throughout the day to different areas. The venue itself is beautiful and the grounds are perfect for wedding pictures. Georgia is there throughout the day making sure everything goes smoothly so you can sit back, relax and take it all in. I would 100% recommend anyone to look at Deans Court it really is very special!

The most amazing day ever !!!

We got married here a year ago today! After revisiting the wedding venue tonight, I wanted to leave a review and tell everyone what an incredible wedding venue this is! The staff are fantastic all our guests commented on the fantastic service at Deans Court! My husband and I received free drinks all night long!
Georgia was the best wedding coordinator we could have ever asked for ! She is so professional, well organised, and gives you a sense of calm right through from planning until your actual wedding day! The wedding venue is stunning and holds a very special place in our hearts ! Thank you Deans Court for making our wedding day so perfect ! I would 1000% recommend this wedding venue !

The best day!

Thank you so much to Georgia and the team at Deans Court. Our day really was perfect and stress free. A stunning location, friendly and professional staff and very easy to communicate and plan the day. Everything was thought of and nothing was too much trouble - even last minute changes! We wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else.

Best wedding ever

We knew we wanted to have our wedding reception at Deans Court before we were even engaged and from the moment we booked it two years ago, the whole process has been seamless. Georgia has been so helpful from start to finish and nothing was ever too much. She was always at the end of an email when needed and definitely went above and beyond. The staff on the actual day were amazing and all so friendly and welcoming to all of our guests! We didn't even have to lift a finger in the setting up process and the team at DC so accommodating with how I wanted the marquee styled.
We were so lucky with the weather on the day and the running of the day could not have been more perfect. Everything went exactly to plan and that was definitely down to all of the staff and Georgia. The following day they had kindly put all of our belongings in a pile to collect.
Thank you to all of the team at DC, we truly had the best day of our lives and so many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

Perfection and More

We couldn’t have expected more from our wedding day. The planning, organisation and management on the day itself were to an extremely high level, the team did a fantastic job of making us and all our guests comfortable and relaxed for the whole day. The venue and grounds are exceptional and we’ve run out of superlatives to convey how happy we were with everything. If you need perfection, look no further than Deans Court!

Perfection and More

Our wedding experience at Deans Court couldn’t have gone better. Georgia and the team made the whole day beyond our expectations in terms of planning, organisation and execution, neither of us can really put into words how special the day was for us and our guests. The venue is perfectly laid out for a relaxing and fun atmosphere, there really is no room for improvement that I can think of. A huge thank you and well done for everything!

Amazing venue

Dean court was the most beautiful venue and everything we could have wished for. All the team but especially Georgia (who is incredible!) made sure the day ran smoothly from start to finish. I can not recommend them highly enough. Honestly there was no negatives or anything I would improve or change. 10/10 from the day we viewed all the way through to after the wedding.

We also stayed in all 3 cottages on site which were beautiful and felt like home from home for the weekend.

Everything we hoped for, and more!

From the moment we met with the Deans Court team, we immediately knew it was the right venue for our day. Georgia and team work tirelessly to make sure every last detail is perfect, and the result of that is a truly special and unique day for every single couple.

Through the wedding planning process, the communication was excellent, no question or ask too much, and on the day everything ran so smoothly thanks to Georgia and team (I think Georgia must be telepathic because she knew what we were thinking before we even spoke!). Our wedding party also commented on how relaxed we were all day, and that was only possible because we knew all our plans were in such safe hands.

The venue itself is beautiful, and such a hidden gem in the heart of Wimborne. Our guests were so impressed with the stunning marquee & picturesque grounds, which just added to the atmosphere of the day.

We really can't thank you enough and would recommend Deans Court a thousand times over - our only regret is we can't do it all over again! x

The most beautiful wedding weekend

We couldn't recommend the Deans Court team and their beautiful venue and accommodation enough. From the moment we looked around the venue we knew it would be the right place for us and from start to finish the team made sure that everything went smoothly. The grounds, marquee and accommodation are all stunning and beautifully maintained, and a perfect option if you want an "all in one place" wedding. We chose to get married outside close to the event marquee, and our family and friends stayed in the Gatehouse and two cottages which made for a relaxed wedding weekend. The team can't do enough for you, making everything so easy to plan and they really do care about all the small details that make your day unique.

Fantastic venue, perfect day

I can’t praise Deans Court and the team enough. From the start, we were put at ease and instantly knew our day was in good hands. Georgia made me feel that nothing was too much. They set up the venue beautifully and everything was organised perfectly. The team are so experienced and ran the day so smoothly. The venue speaks for itself with how gorgeous it is and the team running it compliment it beautifully. Thank you for such a perfect day!

Incredible venue - brilliant staff

I can't sing Deans Court and the staff's praises enough.

We got married on 08 July 2023 and everything went so smoothly without a hitch and that was all down to the wonderful team.

We dealt with Jonathan, Georgia and Catherine and they were all incredible. The communication is brilliant and the staff are so friendly and helpful.

Nothing seemed like too much for them in the run up to the day and on the day itself.

Being able to have the team set up the venue for you which leaves you to make any finishing touches the day before was so great!

I wish we could do it all again. The day was perfect and that was down to the wonderful Dean's Court. The organisation was second to none and we truly felt in safe hands.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Couldn't recommend Deans Court anymore

Wow, words can't describe Deans court, thank you for the most perfect day possible. The whole team superseded every single expectation we ever had.
The grounds are stunning, the marquee is beautiful, the photographers kept saying how many beautiful areas there were for them to photograph. Georgia and her team were magnificent, Georgia was on hand whenever we needed her, and she is simply a superstar! Thank you so much! We also used the accommodation onsite for our guests which was amazing, everyone loved it and I couldn't recommend it more, Catherine and her colleagues were on hand and cleaned the accomodation without us even noticing they were there.

I couldn't recommend Deans Court more to any couples looking for a venue!
