Hidden away in the Dorset countryside just outside Wareham, Smedmore House is a timeless and elegant wedding venue with breath-taking views of the Jurassic Coast. One of Dorset's finest Georgian Manor Houses, this coastal landmark offers an unparalleled level of tranquillity and intimacy for your wedding day. Distinguished for its friendly atmosphere, it's an ideal place for you to start the next chapter of your life with the person you love.

Facilities and Capacity

Smedmore House is licensed for weddings and civil ceremonies in a variety of different locations. You can choose to say 'I do' in one of the elegant rooms, or, if the British weather holds good, you can hold your ceremony outdoors on the avenue with its views of the sea. The secluded venue also boasts a stunning walled garden where many couples choose to exchange vows or hold drinks before heading to the marquee for dinner. For your reception, Smedmore's pristine lawns make the ideal location for a large marquee site. With the beautiful house as the backdrop and exotic blooms throughout, there could be no more gorgeous a setting for you to celebrate surrounded by your loved ones. Those free to embrace a weekend wedding can enjoy at least two nights' accommodation in the historic house, which sleeps 16.

Services Offered

The small and dedicated team at Smedmore House will be on hand to assist with any part of the planning. They seek to be more than accommodating in allowing your wedding dreams to flower into reality, supporting you in every instance. The venue comes with a list of recommended marquee suppliers and excellent caterers who can offer you a very wide range of options.
