Top Event Planning Services in Battramsley, Hampshire

As a wedding photographer, I'm always on the hunt for venues that provide a beautiful, romantic setting for couples to celebrate their love. Pylewell Park in the heart of the New Forest certainly fits that description - it's a quintessential English country estate that looks plucked straight from the pages of a Jane Austen novel.

From the moment you turn down the long, winding driveway lined with ancient trees, you get a sense of the grandeur awaiting at Pylewell Park. The grade II listed 17th century manor house sits majestically amidst rolling lawns and meticulous gardens. Couples have the option to get married in the charming village church nearby, or take advantage of Pylewell's stunning grounds for an outdoor ceremony beneath the spreading oak trees.

No matter the ceremony location, Pylewell's grand entrance hall provides an elegant space for the bride's arrival and first look with her partner, full of historic character with its ornate fireplace and sweeping staircase. The bridal suite upstairs is equally impressive, with soaring ceilings, huge windows, and lovely views over the estate - perfect for capturing the getting ready moments.

After the ceremony, the manicured lawns and gardens surrounding the manor make for an idyllic setting for the drinks reception and couple's portraits. I loved exploring all the little nooks and crannies with the newlyweds I photographed, finding colourful blooming flowers, ornate archways, and stately trees around every corner.

As the evening festivities commenced, the pavilion marquee set up on the grounds offered a grand yet cosy space for the wedding breakfast and dance floor revelries. The pastel floral decor and staging provided by Pylewell created such an elegant, romantic ambiance.

And of course, no review of Pylewell Park would be complete without mentioning the breathtaking photo opportunities as the sun begins to set over the New Forest. Grabbing couples for golden hour portraits in front of the manor's facade is a photographer's dream.

Pylewell Park combines the timeless grandeur of an English estate with a relaxed countryside vibe that lets couples and guests fully soak in the festivities. It's truly a world-class wedding venue right in the heart of one of the UK's most scenic locations. I can't recommend it enough to couples looking for a romantic, elegant setting.

What an incredible Wedding Venue! I photographed Kara & Sam's 2 day wedding celebration here in summer 2023, and it was an absolute blast!

If you're looking for a venue that ticks every box, look no further. The team are fantastic, attentive and know weddings inside out. The gardens and grounds lend themselves perfectly to weddings of any size, and it's just a short walk to the sea. After 15yrs and 500+ weddings, this is undoubtedly one of the top UK wedding venues in my eyes. Go and book it immediately!

We got married at Pylewell over summer and I can't recommend the venue enough! From our first viewing we were blown away by the teams enthusiasm and professionalism. Planning our weekend was easy thanks to the teams organisation.
The venue itself is stunning with grounds including a lake and a beach. Being able to host your friends/family in the building is an extra bonus and the bedrooms/facilities are incredible.
Thank you all so much!!

The most perfect wedding venue. The whole team is so helpful and so friendly. They made sure everything about our big day was perfect and we're always prompt to reply in the run up to the wedding.
The venue, both inside the house and the grounds, is breathtaking. So beautiful and so secluded.
Would recommend this venue to every couple getting married!

Thank you so much to the whole team for all of your help, care and hard work!

What a dream wedding venue! Such a grand building and the gardens are just stunning. This is a perfect place to get married. I loved capturing Katie and Ashley's wedding. Grace Pham Photography
