From a ceremony inside our historic country house to celebrations in a marquee on the lawn, there are plenty of ways to make Minterne your own. And with accommodation across the estate for up to 60 guests, you can turn your wedding into a whole weekend together.

So if an autumn country house wedding in Dorset is on your mood board, perhaps it's time to see it in real life.

Love the idea of a marquee wedding, but still want the character and beautiful surroundings of a country house? At Minterne, you can have both. 🤍

Our South Lawn provides a beautiful setting for a marquee, giving you the freedom to create a reception that feels completely your own, with Minterne House and the gardens as your backdrop.

You can hold your ceremony inside the house, outdoors on the lawn or at one of our two nearby churches, before heading to your marquee for the wedding breakfast and evening celebrations.

And with exclusive use and accommodation available across the estate, your guests don't have to disappear when the party ends either.

If a marquee wedding in the grounds of a historic Dorset country estate sounds like your perfect setting, we'd love to show you around.

Some stunning photos from Anna & Ryan's wedding at Minterne earlier this year. 🤍

They really did make the most of all the different backdrops around the estate, from the historic interiors of Minterne House to the gardens and grounds outside.

One of the lovely things about getting married here is just how many different settings you have for your wedding photos, all without having to leave the estate. Grand rooms, beautiful architecture, sweeping lawns, hidden garden corners and plenty of Minterne character along the way.

So, if you're looking for a historic country house wedding venue in Dorset with plenty of beautiful photo opportunities, you may have just found it.

A little throwback to November 2024 and Fran & Max's cosy autumn wedding at Minterne. 🍂

They held their ceremony and drinks reception inside the house, before moving out to a marquee on the lawn for their wedding breakfast and evening celebrations.

It was such a fun wedding and we think you'll agree the décor was absolutely stunning. And what better way to finish the celebrations than with fireworks? 🎆
A beautiful day from start to finish, and a lovely example of how you can make the different spaces at Minterne work for your wedding.

You've saved the posts, scrolled through countless wedding venues and probably opened more tabs than you'd care to admit... but perhaps the search ends here. 🤍

At Minterne, your wedding isn't limited to just one day or one room. The house and estate become the setting for your whole wedding weekend, with beautiful spaces to say "I do", incredible gardens for your photographs and accommodation for up to 60 of your closest family and friends across the estate.

It's historic, full of character and, most importantly, gives you the freedom to create a wedding that feels completely personal to you.

But photographs can only show you so much. The best way to know if Minterne is your place is to come and experience it for yourself.

What makes a wedding at Minterne a little different? You don't have to say goodbye at the end of the night.

With 11 beautiful bedrooms in the main house, up to 18 adults can stay right here at Minterne as part of your wedding weekend.

It means your closest family and friends are just down the hall. The morning of your wedding can unfold without anyone rushing between hotels, and when the last song has played, you can just head upstairs.

And there's room for more of your guests to stay on the estate too. With additional accommodation available across Minterne, including Parva Farmhouse and The Pool House, the estate can accommodate up to 60 guests in total.

So rather than your guests disappearing off in different directions, you can have more of the people you love staying close by and really make a weekend of it.

There's something rather special about having your wedding venue become home for the weekend.

If you're looking for a Dorset wedding venue where you and your guests can stay over and enjoy more than just the wedding day, come and see Minterne for yourself.
