The ceremony

Deans Court offers the complete package. You can be legally married on site with an outdoor ceremony in the gardens, or in the historic interiors of the house if the weather turns. Of course we are also happy to host the reception only - and there are beautiful local churches and establishments for wedding ceremonies, including some within walking distance.

Though our outside ceremony space would be virtually unlimited, if we needed to go inside the house as a ‘wet weather backup’, this would be limited to 80 seated or 120 standing (or a mix).

To discuss the ceremony, and to book a registrar, call the Dorset Registrars on 01305 225153.
