About

Macdonald Elmers Court Hotel and Resort is one of the most romantic wedding venues in the beautiful New Forest. The magnificent 19th century manor house is set within 23 acres of spectacular, tranquil grounds which provide the perfect settings for your wedding photographs in every season. In addition to the stunning grounds, you and your guests can enjoy the breath-taking views over the Solent as the perfect backdrop for your day.

The impressive hotel has kept much of its original charm and character, retaining all of its original features. The striking Ballroom is the spectacular centrepiece of the hotel. The space boasts towering sculptured ceilings and a grand imposing fireplace to create an elegant atmosphere. The Ballroom offers you and your guests the most magnificent setting for a sumptuous wedding breakfast, followed by an evening of celebrations with your nearest and dearest.

Whether you are planning to say “I do” in stunning stately surroundings or in a delightful outdoor location, we offer a fantastic selection of romantic and elegant settings for your ceremony – all of which overlook the Solent.
