We hired Abbots Court for the weekend for an extended staff Xmas party. Incredible venue, that I’ve been to for several weddings. All the team loved it, beautiful house and location. The outside caterers were fantastic. Great cocktail barman provided. I would highly recommend it to anyone, whether a corporate weekend away, friends or a wedding.

We booked Abbots Court after a chance viewing and what felt like fate with our dream date becoming free the coming year. We knew the venue suited our vision of the wedding day, but it was the way that the staff saw the whole wedding weekend that filled us with the confidence to book (even with a lot of the venue still CGI drawings!) We were not disappointed when it came to our last planning meeting and seeing everything in its full glory and on the day it was perfect. The ability to have friends stay the weekend with us, the informal but beautiful look and feel of Abbots Court and the amazing staff meant we truly had the best day of our lives. We were able to make a weekend of it by hosting a sports day at the venue the next day and everything was made so easy by Kat and the team. Set up was a breeze, we were given a whole day to prepare and that took the stress out of the big day, which isn’t always a luxury that venues give couples. We booked Abbots Court, Almer Manor and the Shepard’s huts on site - all provided incredible experiences for our guests and the feedback we have had from everyone that stayed has been amazing. The luxury and well thought out venues added to our wedding experience and guests were definitely keen to try and stay again in future! We want to say a massive thank you for everything you did to answer the questions (no matter how big or small) and for all the thought and advice that went into making our day truly about us, and not just a carbon copy or a template that couldn’t be veered from. It will be a day we never forget and the whole team were a massive part of that. Thank you Adam and Keri Wright

A truly wonderful retreat, set in gorgeous countryside. The decor of the house is tasteful and calming. Lots of different spaces for people to enjoy - great kitchen, dinning room and lounge for larger groups & snug bar for hiding away in. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. Christina and the team were very welcoming and helpful. I Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

We got married at Abbots Court in September 2023 and want to do it all over again! Cat was so helpful both the day before and on the wedding day setting everything up. We wouldn't have known where to start but she coordinated us all very well. Cat also kept our stress and nerves as low as she could on Wednesday which definitely got us through the ceremony!! The venue was absolutely stunning and the gardens were beautiful. You made it possible for us to have the relaxed and fun day we wanted. It was noted by guests that the wedding was different to any wedding they had been to before, but one of the best! It means so much to us that our friends and family had such an amazing time. Thanks to everyone at Abbots Court for everything!

I had the pleasure of meeting Rosie in my capacity as a wedding celebrant. She is a consummate professional has a fabulous sense of style, is hugely creative and an enviable address book of contacts from which to draw. Instantly likeable and someone you just know will be a constant calm, focused and reassuring presence who will help turn your dream for your event into a reality. Her dedication to the job has no bounds. I love this image of her working hard despite the near tropical conditions at a wedding we worked on together in the summer last year. I couldn't recommend her more highly. She also happens to be a massive supporter of celebrant led ceremonies!

I worked alongside Rosie at a gorgeous wedding in September 2018, and it was styled to perfection - An absolute dream to photograph, and the day went without a hitch! I highly recommend getting in touch with Rosie for any design, stying or help with planning your wedding day ❤️

We have collaborated with Rosie on several events to date with our bell tent and luxury loo hire; she is a joy to work with and consistently creative. We hope to work more with Rosie in the future and highly recommend her services to anyone thinking of planning a party! (Bellorama & Wild Willy Cabins Team)

We have worked with Rosie on events including our own open weekends and she is an absolute joy to work with. She is great at organising people, extremely friendly and approachable. Not only is she creative but she is able to take your ideas and turn them into something truly spectacular. We recommend Rosie to all our clients and look forward to working with her lots more in the future. If I was getting married again (which I am not planning on) I would hire Rosie immediately!

Katie is and has been an absolute dream. She took our mad ramblings and vision and turned it into absolute perfection, our wedding day was exquisite. Her talent for venue styling and floristry is utterly incredible. Our flowers, not just our bouquets but also the general venue flowers, were simply stunning, she absolutely nailed the colour theme. It was better than we could have even imagined. There were so many comments on the day about how beautiful the venue looked. Not only this but Katie provided us with wedding planning services too. As we were so far away this was invaluable. We knew we were in safe hands. Nothing was too much trouble, and our late night/panicked emails and messages were met with nothing but love and enthusiasm. She provided a much needed sense of calm when the inevitable wedding stress and worry took over. No words can actually do Katie's work, or how much she has meant to us over the past 18 months, justice.

Rating: 5 / 5

Katie was everything we could have wanted - from decor to logistics - she helped make our wedding day look as special as it felt! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for the day. We would strongly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a warm, enthusiastic and supportive pair of hands at an especially stressful time. Our wedding was complex British-Indian fusion, with events in multiple spaces spanning a whole weekend. Katie completely understood our vision and helped us bring it alive. She was so open, collaborative and creative through the entire planning process and on the weekend itself. Excellent experience! Thank you, Katie!

Katie was recommended to us by a mutual friend, and from the moment we met for the first planning meeting, we knew we had found the perfect fit for us. Warm, encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable, Katie guided us through the entire process from start to finish, with a calm, level head, and as much as detail as we wanted. We gave Katie our ‘vision’ for the day, and when she then presented us with mood boards and ideas at our next meet-up, she had encapsulated it perfectly. We asked her to give us colour, fun, a relaxed vibe, and a ‘festival feel’, and that’s exactly what we got. Using Style & Wonder enabled us to just focus on enjoying our day, and the lead up to it; with Katie and her team keeping all of the minuate and coordination away from us, we were able to spend extra time with family and friends, and really make the most of this incredibly special weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Katie again for future events, and recommend her whole-heartedly. 5*****

We simply can't thank Katie enough for creating the most magical wedding we could possibly wish for! From the first time we met Katie, we instantly relaxed knowing that she just got it, and understood exactly what were hoping for with the whole vibe and styling. Throughout the whole process, Katie made it really enjoyable and always kept us calm and focused - she has a very special and unique manner in which you have full confidence and trust in what she will deliver. We threw lots of random ideas her way, none of which ever phased her and she always came up with some excellent ideas. For the wedding weekend itself, Katie worked tirelessly on the styling, decor and overall ambience to create something we will never forget. All of our guests were amazed with the attention to detail and how magical it felt - and this was all down to Katie. We truly can't thank you enough and would recommend you without any hesitation. She's the best!! x

Lovely Nicky supplied our chair covers for our wedding day and they worked perfectly with our theme. Nicky was very accommodating and flexible to my ever-changing requests and I'm so pleased we found her. I'd highly recommend her for all your wedding hire needs.

Nicky was amazing, responded to any questions very promptly, the arch and the barrels were brilliant and really set the tone to the wedding. Drop off and collection all was brilliant too, highly recommended

Amazing communication, super price and really listened to the brief. Created a mock up to help us make final decision. Dropped off the arch and collected it with ease. Just such a lovely person to work with.

Nicky was very accommodating with the items i required. She send me photo's of what i wanted, to give me an idea on what i was hiring along with making the whole process nice and straightforward. Once the items were collected (by my dad) and bought to the venue i could certainly see Nicky looks after her props as the quality of the items were really good. I would thoroughly recommend Nicky and her business to anyone conducting any number of events not just weddings. If you are looking to conduct an event in Dorset, definitely check out this company. 5 * from me

I honestly can't find the words to explain how grateful I am to Melanie & Dani for their help, expertise, guidance and support for our big day. These guys are incredible... the work they put in to your wedding makes you feel like you're the first and only wedding they're organising. The tips, guidance and support all the way through, incredible communication, expert planning and pristine execution; all from the first visit to the wedding day. Melanie became such a big part of our experience and all my family and friends commented on how incredible she was. She understood our vision and did whatever she could to make it perfect for us. You will be in expertly safe hands with these guys as your planners. Thank you for everything

We are beyond grateful to Melanie for the incredible work and dedication she put into planning our wedding at Came House earlier this year. From our introductory call until our wedding, Melanie went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly on the day. Melanie’s attention to detail is unmatched. To give one of many examples: without request from us, Melanie remembered my sensitivity to mosquito bites from an earlier conversation and arranged mosquito plugs to be placed in the bridal suite. This small but incredibly thoughtful touch meant so much. It’s this thoughtfulness and pre-empting of potential issues that really sets Melanie apart. Melanie always responded promptly to our questions/emails, often late at night or over weekends. She was incredibly patient and always put us at ease. We feel very lucky to have had Melanie and the Came House team for our wedding. Thanks to their hard work and care, we were able to enjoy the day without stressing about the details. Thank you, Melanie, for being such an irreplaceable part of our wedding! We can’t recommend you highly enough.

We worked with Melanie for our wedding at Came House last year, and can honestly say she is one fantastic woman and the best wedding planner we could have hoped for. She is so experienced and organised, gave great advice throughout whilst listening to all our ideas. Her knowledge of the area and suppliers (as well as all her hard work) really helped to bring our vision to life. This was no easy feat as we had quite a few parts to fit into the weekend, but Melanie made it work! We had the most incredible weekend of our lives and we couldn’t have done it without Melanie, Bellissimo and the team at Came House.

My husband and I were privileged to work with Danielle at Bellissimo for our wedding last year. It was an honour to have Danielle supporting us in the run up to, and on the day of our wedding. We cannot put into works our gratitude for all that Danielle and Bellissimo Weddings did to make sure our day was full of magic from beginning to end. We had countless guests comment on how the whole event was timed and executed with finesse, professionalism, and to perfection. Danielle’s diligence and attention to detail meant that we truly were able to leave even the most important details in Danielle’s trusted hands. Thank you so much for doing such an incredible job. Any couple will be incredibly lucky to have Bellissimo Weddings as their wedding planners for their big day.

Just got back from 5 nights at Gorwell Farm and had a fabulous time. Great location for exploring, peaceful setting, well equipped and comfortable cottage (Granary). Would definitely recommend and want to go back! The children (aged 12, 10, 10, 10, 8, 6) particularly enjoyed spending time with the horses, tennis, table tennis and basketball. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Gorwell Farm hosted our wedding (and accommodation) and was excellent from beginning to end. It’s. A beautiful, rustic venue but has been fully modernised and updated with all conveniences for a wedding whilst still retaining the rustic feel. All queries were addressed quickly and we couldn’t imagine it being any better.

Went to a wedding reception here. Wow what a beautiful place Hiden out of the way. Really lovely venue. Drinks were very well priced at the bar. Amazing settings for an all in one wedding day. Camping facilities available but didn't use these.

Rating: 5 / 5

We chose Gorwell for our wedding in July 2024, booking two years prior. Mary and the Team are fantastic, you can really tell that they want your big day to be a success. Mary was full of recommendations for vendors, which was amazing as it can definitely feel overwhelming. Throughout the communication was fantastic and there was no such thing as a silly question. The Farm and the cottages were fantastic and being able to get married outside under the trees was incredible. Thank you so much Mary & Family! (photos by Charlotte Stoneham Photography)

I didn’t think planning a wedding abroad could be so easy! I can’t recommend and thank you enough - Deborah was amazing, even with my probably sometimes silly questions I’d ask late in the evenings, she was always so happy and quick to reply! And the coordinator on the day of the wedding at the venue was just as amazing, so attentive and made the day flow effortlessly. We had the most perfect and couldn’t have asked for anything more 💕

Sally and Deborah were amazing! We had the most magical day and enjoyed every minute of it. Sally is such a warmhearted, beautiful person. Easy to talk to and very understanding. Highly recommend her. Thank you and the whole team for this wonderful, small, adventures wedding. It was a dream xxxx

Gemma was such a great help for our wedding. We chose to do a very much DIY wedding which meant there was alot to organsie so Gemma was extremely helpful in terms of giving advice and sharing excellent suppliers for our wedding. We had regular catch ups and she was so helpful in regards to putting a schedule together for the day and letting me know what would work best, as this was something I found quite overwhelming to do myself. She was then there for the weekend, popping in to help with set up and discuss the next day, and helping making decisions I was being indecisive over! On the day she was fab, I was so pleased to have her there, she knew the venue really well which made life much easier. She was fab!

Deborah and the team made planning our wedding in Portugal seamless. Everything was very well organised from the choices of vendors and recommended timings of their booking to the payment schedule and I didn’t feel stressed once during the process. Deborah was always available to answer questions even during evenings and weekends which was very much appreciated! Our day couldn’t have been any better, Carla made sure everything ran perfectly smoothly and lots of our guests commented on this. Overall, I would highly recommend West Country Wedding Planners to anyone as they made my planning experience easy and enjoyable, so thank you!

We first visted the venue just under a year ago and were blown away by the gorgeous views, chilled atmosphere and the mix of contemporary/rustic charm. Luckily we were able to secure the last available date in 2023 and it certainly lived up to our expectations! We celebrated our wedding at Hope Farm last weekend and had the most fabulous day. Sue and the team were welcoming and attentive, whilst also giving you the space and freedom to decorate and enjoy the venue as you pleased throughout the weekend. The facilities are beautifully finished and we had countless compliments from guests who particularly enjoyed the different areas on the farm to explore in between the main events of the day and not just being stuck inside a stiff hotel/venue.The alpacas and baby goats were a massive hit with our guests - the perfect photobomb for our gorgeous pictures! A beautiful venue with treasured memories, we hope to one day come back as guests or maybe to celebrate an anniversary! Can't recommend it enough x

I had my wedding at Hope Farm last Saturday and it was the most wonderful experience. Sue and her team are excellent, helpful, friendly and supportive with really good recommendations and links to local resources and services. So many of my guests told me it was the best wedding they had ever been to. A truly beautiful peaceful and magical location x

Having had our wedding there last weekend (31st August) I can honestly say that this is BY FAR the best venue around. Sue, Nigel, Matt and Georgia worked tirelessly to ensure the day ran smoothly alongside our caterers. Nothing was too much of an ask. Wonderful venue, beautiful decor already in place and really not needing much additional decor to be provided by ourselves, it was the most perfect day.

Rating: 5 / 5

Stunning venue! We cannot recommend this venue and Sue and her team enough for the amazing job they do. They couldn't do enough to make sure we had the most magical day. From the moment we saw the place, we fell in love and knew we had to get married here. Then we met Sue and she put us at ease straight away, so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much hassle. Our friends and family could not have been more complementary. We cannot thank Sue and her team enough for giving us the most incredible day.

Winterborne were absolutely brilliant and so helpful throughout our wedding journey. They decorated our ladders with faux plants, and the results were stunning—the photos speak for themselves. We received so many compliments, and you honestly couldn’t tell the plants were artificial. In the lead-up, the team was incredibly supportive. They ensured everything was set up quickly, allowing us to move on with the rest of the decorations without feeling rushed. They even offered additional staff to help with other decorative elements, which was such a kind gesture. We just can’t recommend Winterborne enough!

We hired Winterborne Hire & Styling for our wedding in July and honestly it was the easiest, best decision we made for our big day! Dawn was so helpful and understood our vision the entire process. She really listened and ordered in pieces we needed to really bring our colour scheme and vision to light. I can’t recommend them enough!

Rating: 5 / 5

We used Winterborne Hire & Styling for our wedding at Abbots Court and couldn’t have been happier with the service provided! From the first visit to the styling barn with Dawn right up until the wedding day itself and after the event, Dawn was on hand to help with any questions we had. We opted to set the venue decorations up ourselves the day prior to the wedding and this was made so easy as the beautiful arches were set up for us and the rest of the items we ordered came in extremely organised boxes which saved a lot of time. We were so pleased with how Dawn helped our vision come to life and thoroughly recommend Winterborne to anybody looking for a styling service. Thank you so much for making our wedding so beautiful! Gabby and Marcus x

Absolutely fantastic job from Winterborne Hire & Styling! We rented some beautiful table decorations and flower pillars that complimented our wedding venue perfectly.They have a great range of items in their showroom and Dawn was so helpful and patient in taking through what items to choose. They are very professional and coordinated directly with the venue and had a delivery option making it seamless and efficient (one less thing for me to worry about!). Highly recommend :)

Absolutely gorgeous wedding venue. The cottages make for a lovely place for family/wedding party to stay and get ready on the day. My only comment is the cottage kitchens could do with a bit more kitchen utensils/plates/basic necessities etc, we didn't have enough knives and forks on the Hayloft for the people staying there

Rating: 5 / 5

A lovely holiday home. We stayed in the Hayloft and had a great time. The owners are close by and very helpful, and their dogs were equally lovely. We were 7 adults and 3 kids. The play areas were good and the children spent a lot of time outside. The lovely kitchen table meant we spent a lot of time together which was good.

When we started planning our wedding we wanted it to be like a weekend away with all of our family with a wedding thrown in. We were in love with Marshwood Manor as soon as we walked into the bar and as we saw the cottages, the wildflower meadow and the woodland Bower for the ceremony we knew this place was for us. Marshwood Manor was a home away from home for us and our guests. It is idyllic. For our wedding we did not need over the top decorations, installations, flowers as the setting has a natural beauty of its own.
