We had our first tour of 2025 yesterday in the most horrendous weather…typical January!
But even in strong winds, heavy rain and thick fog, this beautiful venue shone through ✨
We look forward to another fantastic year ahead with all our lovely 2025 clients, catching up with suppliers who we’ve had the pleasure of working with before and meeting new suppliers too 💞
Here’s to 2025 🥂

Happy one year anniversary to our lovely clients Alex and Jonny 💙
We had such a blast working with you both to plan this incredible reception!

Thank you for the lovely review that you kindly sent all the way from your honeymoon in Mexico:

“We want to thank you so much for all you’ve done for us over the past two years. You’ve always responded to every question we could think of (often the same question!). Your presence at the venue was so valuable, not just in problem solving, and the ocean of emails leading up to the day, but also because we know you genuinely care - and that shone through. You are phenomenal. The day was all we dreamed of and more. The guests could not get over the view. After they saw it, it very quickly answered the question as to why we chose to get married in Swanage.

All the very best and thanks so much!”

Have a fabulous day celebrating 🎉

At the beginning of June we hosted a wonderful Ceremony and Drinks Reception at for our couple Ian and Katharine.

We received some very kind words from the couple after the event:

“Dear Polly

Just a warm word of appreciation and thanks for all you and the staff at Durlston and Emily did on Friday to enable our wedding to run smoothly. It has been a pleasure organising with you, and your eye for detail has been much appreciated. The occasion was everything we hoped it would be. Many thanks

Ian & Katharine”
