Marshwood Manor is a country wedding venue in West Dorset, England. A unique setting where rustic romance meets Victorian elegance. Immerse yourself in the magic of this exclusive-use, weekend wedding venue, with picturesque locations, fabulous facilities, and luxury onsite accommodation.

Facilities and Capacity

Say your vows in Marshwood Manor's breathtaking woodland bower, a magical space located in the heart of private ancient woodland. Your guests will cross the stream via the living bridge and be seated in a mystical amphitheatre, an idyllic spot for a romantic outdoor ceremony. This is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies and can accommodate up to 80 seated guests and over 60 standing guests.

The Victorian brick hay barn is a bright space, with a high, vaulted ceiling and huge doors opening onto a glass-roofed terrace. It is suitable for ceremonies for up to 120 guests and dining for up to 80 and provides an exceptional blank canvas for your own style of decoration.

If you’re planning a festival-style wedding, the hay meadow is a perfect choice. There is plenty of space for a marquee for up to 250 guests, so you can celebrate al fresco in the heart of the stunning vale. This option is available after harvest in August.

Finally, the graveled Courtyard is an elegant space for a wedding. The raised Dais is ideal for a unique outdoor ceremony in the round. This area can also be used for your band, DJ, outdoor bar or a cosy fire-pit area. The courtyard has the capacity for over 250 guests, making it perfect for larger celebrations.

Services Offered

The Marshwood Manor team includes a wedding coordinator to help your wedding day proceed seamlessly. Five private cottages are included and at your disposal for the duration of your celebrations, providing luxury onsite accommodation before and after your wedding day.
