Bennetts Water Gardens

Bennetts Water Gardens in Weymouth offers an enchanting setting just two miles from Weymouth Harbour, perfect for capturing beautiful wedding photographs and creating lasting memories. Home to national and international collections of water lilies, this unique venue features a Monet-style Japanese Bridge, a Tropical House, woodland walks, and a museum, all set amid stunning, tranquil gardens that provide a serene atmosphere for your special day.

Couples can make a grand entrance at the Imperial Gazebo by crossing the Monet-style Japanese Bridge, surrounded by the gentle fragrance of lilies from the pond. The Imperial Gazebo accommodates up to 80 guests for a picturesque ceremony. The conservatory, with views of the water lilies and gazebo and elegant ivory roof pleats, is ideal for civil ceremonies with up to 60 guests. For more intimate gatherings, the Tropical House offers a private ceremony space for up to 30 guests, set amongst beautiful tropical plants and a soothing waterfall.

Receptions can be held lakeside within the romantic gardens, with a marquee available to hire on Saturdays for 150 to 300 guests. Cafe Monet is available for receptions, serving drink packages, canapés, and champagne strawberry tea. Venue hire includes use of three licensed civil ceremony spaces and access to the Imperial Gazebo and gardens for photographs. Dining options are flexible, with both banquet and buffet styles available, and there is a toastmaster to ensure proceedings run smoothly. In the evening, floodlights illuminate the gardens and gazebo for romantic strolls at dusk.
