Our unique collection of ornate indoor and outdoor spaces, set within 11 acres of picturesque grounds, provides an impressive setting for wedding ceremonies and celebrations.

Our historic buildings have been sympathetically restored, retaining character and charm, to be practical for guests, acting as a beautifully unique backdrop for weddings.

A beautifully unusual wedding venue for many reasons. It’s as much an indoor wedding venue as it is outdoors. It’s historic without the formality of a country manor house.

This includes the historic open-air Singing Theatre, exquisite Roman Temple, Lower Indian room, elegant Jubilee Hall and Pavilion. Not to mention the lawns and 11 acre gardens. The variety creates a unique rhythm and flow to the day.

Every couple marrying at Larmer Tree gets allocated one of our experienced wedding coordinators as part of the booking. Our dedicated team works with you both in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself. From liaising with suppliers, to getting everyone in the right place at the right time, your wedding coordinator ensures everything runs smoothly so you can relax and enjoy your day.

Larmer Tree is a magical, relaxed, luxury wedding venue with accommodation. Its unique blend of indoor and outdoor spaces are like no other venue for hire in Wiltshire, Dorset or the rest of the UK.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream Of A Wedding Venue!

The luscious and verdant Larmer Tree Gardens has a magical and majestic feel. Picturesque peacocks preen, terrific temples tantalise and a wide range of garden games delight! The show-stopping stage acted as the perfect backdrop for our wedding reception and we strongly recommend the acoustic duo and band from Neon State who set the tone and the acoustic guitarist and singer Leigh Coleman who played perfectly through dinner and for golden hour outside. It goes without saying that Amy- our coordinator - was a total legend throughout the process and massively on the day, as was the entire team, always helping efficiently and effectively. They really are stellar professionals and you couldn’t be in better hands. The week run-up couldn’t have been easier thanks to them- guests kept on commenting that we were so relaxed; A M Y that three letter word was our reason!! Forking Out’s canapés were delectable and the Pavilion Feast was truly delectable and had the added benefit of encouraging interaction from guests. Our phenomenal florist down the road, Mollie and the team at Pamplemousse knew just how to dress the pavilion to perfection; phenomenal gypsophila clouds floated above our heads, divine delphiniums flanked the table ends and romantic, rustic posies festooned the tables. Paul Underhill, our photographer, captured the day exquisitely and Harry Fynn created a genius video which reflected the energy and dynamism of the day. If you’re searching for an idyllic, unique and memorable venue, look no further, we couldn’t have had a better wedding day! Huge thanks to all involved.

Our Celestial Wedding

My husband and I will forever be grateful that we booked The Larmer Tree to host our wedding, on 6th November 2024. As soon as we visited the venue for one of their supplier open days and to meet the team for the first time, we absolutely knew that this is where we would get married. Our wedding coordinator Sinead was incredible from start to finish, very passionate about her job, and very intelligent and confident in her role. As Sinead had also gotten married there, it was like she knew the place like the back of her hand. There wasn't a single moment where we felt at a loss, and she was with us every step of the way (even when I was running 20 minutes late!) It was an absolute pleasure working with and getting to know her, and we will forever be grateful to have her on our side. The rest of the team were incredibly on the ball with ensuring that everything was uptogether and it was amazing working with them.

This is truly a day that we will remember forever. We had the best day and I would recommend The Larmer Tree to anyone looking for the perfect venue to host their wedding. It is picturesque, quirky, and truly memorable.

Thank you so much for being with us on our special day 🥰✨️💖🌟

Beautiful day!

We had the most perfect wedding day at the Larmer Tree Gardens. Planning the wedding from abroad, we were slightly concerned with everything working to plan and our vision coming to life given we could only visit the venue once before the wedding. Amy, our wedding coordinator, ensured everything went to plan - she was calm and reassuring, exceptionally organised and good fun to be around. The team at forking out provided perfect food, including catering for a variety of different dietary requirements and not one person got the wrong meal! Everyone said the food was delicious.

Highly recommend!!

The most amazing and special venue!

We had our wedding at Larmer Tree Gardens in March 2024 and it was an absolute dream come true! The venue itself is so unique and special, however what truly made our experience exceptional was the amazing team that work there. We were so lucky to have Francesca as our wedding coordinator. She gave us complete reassurance in the lead-up to our wedding day and was able to help us make the right decisions and solve any challenges that arose. Our guests were equally impressed by all the staff at Larmer Tree Gardens, including the Forking Out catering team. Everyone was so friendly, and attentive, and made sure everyone had a brilliant time.

We cannot thank Francesca and the team enough for making our wedding day so special. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Larmer Tree Gardens for anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue and for their excellent facilities to ensure couples are well prepared and looked after. Larmer Tree will always hold a very special place in our lives and we look forward to going back to visit in the future to relive the amazing memories.

Our Day Was So Beautiful

Larmer Tree was absolutely the right choice for us for our wedding. Our coordinator, Amy, went above and beyond to help us with everything leading up to the wedding. There wasn't a question she couldn't answer - even when it was 2 weeks before the wedding and I sent her a mile-long email full of last-minute questions! The venue is so beautiful and surrounded by so much greenery and nature, it doesn't matter what the weather is it will be stunning regardless. The staff were able to transform our outdoor ceremony to an indoor ceremony at a moments notice when the weather was not going to be in our favour - and it was just as beautiful. We cannot thank and recommend the staff at Larmer Tree enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Amazing experience

Francesca and her team were absolutely amazing! We felt kept in the loop during every stage of planning, and the day itself was smooth as could be. They were very understanding of the bride's coeliac allergy and did a fabulous job taking care of us. Would highly recommend!

Sensational!

We were lucky enough to have our wedding here, in the glorious sunshine, surrounded by wild life and our loved ones. But what really made the experience so magical was the attentiveness, care and pride at which the Larmer Tree and all of their staff conduct themselves and their business. From the very first planning meeting until the last person left the dance floor, nothing was too much trouble, the food blew out guests away, and venue it's self was mesmerising in the summer sun. It is cliche to say, but it really was the best day of our lives, and that was made possible by all of you.
Love the Wiseman-Searle's.

A relaxed and personalised experience from start to finish

We chose to have our wedding here in April 2022. After waiting so long, Katy and the team at The Larmer Tree Gardens made everything run so smoothly. We had the best day with all our family and friends and it was particularly special to wake up in the studio to watch a lamb being born from the window! We wish we could do the day all over again! Thank you

The perfect place

I don’t even know where to begin. This was the perfect place to get married! We had a small wedding midweek and the price was so worth it! I couldn’t believe the effort from all the staff at larmer tree and forking out, I felt like we had underpaid them for such a wonderful day. Amy and her team did a fantastic job of keeping organised and having everything ready and set up for us. She recommended some great suppliers and had organised everything so perfectly just to our liking. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! Just magical!

Beautiful day

We have just celebrated our lovely Secret Garden Wedding at the Larmer Tree Gardens with family & friends. The whole adventure has been an absolute delight from start to finish & has provided us with the most beautiful memories for ourselves & our guests of our wedding day. A special mention must go to coordinator Amy for her patience & smooth organisation both before the wedding and on the day itself. The catering by Forking out was delicious & the girls serving our drinks were so friendly & polite.
Our guests felt relaxed & welcome in the gardens. They played Badminton, Croquet & Giant Jenga on the lawn & chatted like old friends, even though some had never met. They enjoyed exploring the grounds & soaking in the beautiful serene atmosphere. The children marvelled at the peacocks & enjoyed the freedom that an outdoor wedding provides.
The ever-changing skies from sunshine to dark clouds, provided us with beautiful colours & fantastic opportunity for photos. The wet weather plans that were sitting in place for every eventuality were luckily never needed. However, it gave us confidence that should it have rained, we would have been well looked after & nothing would have spoilt the day.
I would recommend the Larmer Tree Gardens to anyone looking for a splendidly magical & beautifully natural venue.

Beautiful venue and nothing too much trouble

The moment we set foot at Larmer Tree, we knew it was the venue for us. The setting is unique, with the varied buildings and the peacocks in the gardens. Amy, our wedding coordinator, was brilliant from the very beginning of the planning process to our wedding day and afterwards. She was always quick to respond to any queries we had (and always put an out of office on, so you knew when she would reply), was flexible with our special requests (e.g. having a gap between starters and mains for an activity, which was potentially problematic in terms of cooking), and made sure that everything went to plan on the day. They were also very transparent about costs and there weren't any hidden costs, as some of our friends have experienced. Our guests had a wonderful experience and it is one that we will treasure forever.

19.05.22 our epic wedding day!

Where do I start! On the 19.05.22 myself and now husband tied the knot outside the Roman temple at the beautiful Larmer tree gardens and the day was more than perfect! Our experience was second to none from the moment we said yes to the venue! Our wedding coordinator Amy was incredible from the moment we became her couple! We were treated like royalty waited on hand and food and all our guests commented on how amazing the staff were! And How fabulous the food was!! Their drinks constantly topped up and entertaining Peacocks roaming the gardens and giving epic photo opportunities to our guests throughout the day! We would not now have changed a single thing about this venue or our day! We would give anything to go back and do it all over again! And Larmer Tree will forever hold a special place in our hearts! And all ours guests!

Our beautiful day at Larmer Tree Gardens

We had such a fantastic experience at Larmer Tree with Amy and the rest of the team there.
The venue itself is incredible. It is such a beautiful setting with so many options of how you would like to have a wedding, we chose the lower Indian room for our ceremony and was perfect!
Amy was a constant source of support throughout our wedding experience, she made the event run so smoothly and took so much stress out of the day.
On the day she was incredible, quietly working hard to make sure we were having the best day and we could not have done it without her!

We couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else and Amy helped us create our perfect wedding day.

Larmer Tree is the perfect wedding venue!

If you are looking for an outstanding all round wedding venue then look no further than Larmer Tree! We got married there on the 23 May 2024 and had the best day ever. We found the venue online and came for a visit where we immediately fell in love with the location and Larmer Tree Team. Amy showed us around the venue and made us feel like the only couple getting married there this year. She was very friendly and professional which made us feel at ease immediately. We then attended the very informative wedding fayre where we selected a number of our suppliers for the wedding.

When we committed to Larmer Tree we knew we had made the right choice. In the run up to the wedding Amy was attentive and understanding and made sure nothing was too much to ask for. On the day of the wedding Larmer Tree looked beautiful. All of our guests were impressed with the lovely gardens and the attentive staff. We got married in front of the lovely Roman temple and had canapés on the lawn before heading inside for a delicious wedding breakfast. Larmer Tree only allow you to use the Forkingout caterers for the wedding breakfast. Don’t be alarmed they are brilliant. They serve delicious food and all our guests were blown away by the main course and desserts. The Larmer Tree team were brilliant all day, checking in on us and making sure everything was ok for our special day.

There was a hiccup where the registrar had forgot about our wedding. Amy called Wiltshire ceremonies office asked where they were before the ceremony started. Had Amy not done this we may not have got married at all. The registrar arrived an hour later and we carried on with the day but we are so grateful to Amy for contacting them. Throughout the rest of the day the Larmer Tree team ensured everything ran smoothly and made sure we were as relaxed as possible. A brilliant thing is Larmer Tree also pack up everything so in the morning everything is boxed up and ready to go.
Thank you so much Amy and the team for making it such a special day. We will definitely be renewing our vows at Larmer Tree in the future.
