Your
day
Envision how your wedding day can unfold, from the moment you arrive to the last dance…
Before you arrive
As part of your exclusive package, we invite you in one day prior to your big day to dress the venue to your liking. Working alongside the event managers and your chosen suppliers, you will be able to set the mood to match your vision. This will ensure that everything is in place-exactly how you dreamed of!
This exclusive experience not only guarantees that your wedding venue looks exactly as you imagined but also allows you to enjoy a relaxed and memorable time with your loved ones before the big day. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every aspect of your wedding day is flawless and unforgettable, and we look forward to helping you create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
Your ceremony
Explore a wide variety of exquisite rooms with oak panelled walls and offering stunning views over our picturesque grounds. The Long Hall, with its oak fireplace adorned by a crackling log fire in winter, provides a warm and inviting atmosphere.
For those seeking an intimate wedding experience, our cosy and elegant rooms are perfectly suited to create cherished moments in a smaller setting.
Let romance flourish amidst our enchanting gardens. From the inviting Veranda to the serene Middle Terrace, you’ll find a selection of outdoor spaces nestled within our tranquil grounds ideal for your ceremony.
However you envision celebrating your special day, rest assured you’ll receive the utmost support to craft an awe-inspiring wedding.
Drinks on the terrace
Time to celebrate! After your ceremony, join your guests on our Top Terrace, where you can soak in breathtaking views of the New Forest whilst your wedding breakfast is being set up. This idyllic setting provides the perfect backdrop for sharing joyful moments with loved ones.
This is also the perfect time to take a leisurely stroll together, with your photographer to capture some beautiful memories through our stunning grounds. From the stone arch to the tranquil ponds, every corner offers enchanting photo opportunities that capture the essence of your special day.
Whether posing beneath a canopy of ancient trees or beside blooming rhododendrons, our gardens provide an array of settings that reflect the beauty and romance of your celebration. Let the natural charm of our surroundings enhance your wedding album with unforgettable memories.
Wedding breakfast
Whether you have tied the knot at the Lodge or another venue, the celebrations continue with the wedding breakfast in one of our glorious rooms or a marquee if chosen.
Your guests are now welcome to take their seats, as your chosen music plays in the background.
Your chosen caterers will now serve you and your guests a delicious meal as you sit back and enjoy this special day that you have worked so hard to create.
Evening reception
It’s time for your evening entertainment to begin—you chosen entertainment is all set up and ready to kick off the celebration! You’re welcome to have the music up until 11pm, giving you plenty of time to dance the night away.
Last orders will be called at 11pm, and the evening will draw to a close at 11:30pm. Taxis can be pre-arranged with local companies to ensure your guests can safely and conveniently return home at the end of the festivities.
