The Story

About Athelhampton House and Gardens Athelhampton is one of Dorset's finest Wedding venues.

Athelhampton House and Gardens is one of Dorset’s finest wedding venues, offering both indoor and outdoor celebrations amidst the splendour of a Grade I listed country estate. Couples can choose from a variety of stunning spaces for their ceremony and reception, whether within the historic great hall or surrounded by beautiful gardens with distinctive yew pyramids, a sunken lawn perfect for croquet, and lush subtropical plantings that provide a picturesque backdrop for photographs.

Athelhampton House combines period elegance with a tailored approach to your special day. The sumptuous wedding breakfast is served in the lavish dining room, with bespoke menus crafted by top chefs who use seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Evening entertainment can be seamlessly arranged to match your style, complete with an enticing buffet for your guests as the celebrations continue.

The professional events team prides itself on delivering a relaxing, stress-free planning experience, meticulously managing every detail from your first meeting to the last dance. With exclusive use of the house and gardens, couples can enjoy a private and historic setting for their wedding, no matter the size of the guest list, from intimate gatherings of 12 guests to larger celebrations hosting up to 300 people.
