Beautiful, unique venue, well signposted with fun and quirky accommodation. If you want a magical wedding, with beautiful misty mornings, peacocks and bunnies on dewdropped lawns, this is the venue for you. 10/10 Had a great stay

We hired moonacre for a special birthday celebration in November. What a fantastic venue. Dominic and Rachel were amazing hosts and helped us to pull off a special party. Everyone said what a fantastic venue and hidden gem near Poole. Quirky and fun accommodation, beautiful grounds, fantastic sound and lighting in the marquee, a brilliant dance floor, a well stocked bar….thoroughly recommend for a venue to hire!

We had our PERFECT wedding at Moonacre in August 2024 and highly recommend!! The venue was beyond magical and suited us perfectly. The planning process was super smooth and we never had any issues at all with Moonacre. Great for: outdoor ceremony, beautiful trees and outdoor space, onsite accomodation, lots of space, flexible entertainment, choose your own catering (really rare in this area for wedding venues!!), relaxed vibe, child-friendly, lots of decoration included, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras, wedding coordinator included, fire pit, whimsical wedding photos surrounded by nature (credit to Tegan Maccann who we absolutely loved :D), bar and bar staff provided/included (drinks packages to choose from and create your own) Not for you if you want: Lots of space for a big bridal party to get ready onsite, winter wedding (it's closed!), bring your own bar Long version: Hayley and Dominic were helpful, friendly, professional and above all flexible. The marquee is really nice and very large, and has enough decor already that we actually didn't spend anything on additional decor for the marquee as we didn't have a formal table set-up. We had an outdoor ceremony with both live and recorded music (they had enough sound equipment to suit our needs!), a relaxed family-friendly BBQ with mixture of indoor and outdoor seating (no seating plan) and lots of garden games and ping pong (hired from Simply Flower - also recommend). We had loads of young kids there and they had a brilliant time running around and there was none of the stress for parents of a formal indoor venue or sit-down meal. After the meal we gathered everyone round the fire pit for our speeches which was magical and made for some lovely photos as everyone was standing grouped together! We had family and friends stay in the onsite glamping accommodation and loads of friend took up the camping option which was a nice surprise - eating bacon sandwiches from a friend's camper van sat round with all the campers the next morning was a lovely moment, as was sitting out by the fire-pit with the final guests at 1am and seeing a shooting star. It was amazing to have a free-flowing wedding day with multiple different spaces for people to mingle and relax or dance to the band, a lot of guests have said it's one of the best wedding venues they have been to :) We got a great discount on the venue hire for booking "short notice" (booking in January for August same year). The only downside for us was that live music has to end at 9pm (although the DJ can carry on beyond that) Photo credit to the highly recommended Tegan Mccann Photography!!

Such a beautiful place. Went camping and the field was secluded, surrounded by trees and pine forest. Great views all around. Very peaceful quiet and well maintained. Not too many camping pitches. There is a nice covered area with seats and also a fridge, plus place to burn open fires. Nice powerful shower and clean toilets. Owners are really friendly and helpful, will definitely go back.

On Tuesday 25th April we got married at the beautiful Moonacre site! We were so lucky to have amazing blue skies and sunshine on the actual day - which was definitely unexpected due to the rain during set up! We had a back up plan to use the marquee, but we’re so glad our ceremony took place outside on the woodland platform! We can’t thank Hayley, Dom and the crew enough for all of their help from the moment we booked in January 2022, until pack down after the wedding. The staff on the day helped with so much and did it all with a smile despite being on their feet for hours! Hayley was so helpful with my endless lists of questions and on the day she had such a calming presence… which was very helpful as I did feel my nerves kick in before waking down the aisle! Everything about Moonacre was just PERFECT. The setting, the marquee and facilities just made the day so run so smoothly. If we had to choose one word to sum up the day, it would be “magical”! We’re still on such a high and will never forget our perfect Moonacre wedding! 🖤
