We had the best weekend....

We had the best weekend and Wedding Day! Cat and her team made the whole process so much easier for us to plan and organise our day. It was lovely to be there the whole weekend with family and close friends and the time at the venue to set up and pack up. Our guests all said they had a brilliant time and told us what a beautiful venue it is. We loved our ceremony in the stables it was really special, the grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed dancing the night away Thank you again Rachel & Steve

It was absolutely perfect

We got married at Abbots Court in June and it was absolutely perfect! Cat, Christina and the whole team were amazing and so helpful, they went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly and ensure it was bespoke to us. The house and grounds are just beautiful and even the gorgeous photos of it don’t do it justice! The whole place has such a warm and welcoming feel to it, with beautiful views out to the surrounding countryside.

Our idyllic Wedding venue

Abbots was our idyllic wedding venue and it was perfect in every way. From the moment we looked round we knew that this was it. We were always in contact with the team in the run up to the wedding- never felt out of the loop. The bedrooms were incredible and you got a real sense that nothing was too much trouble for anyone. Our dream wedding was made real Thanks to Christina and Cat - it’s a wedding venue like no other. Thank you for everything!! Alice and Paul x

Cat & Christina were both amazing and so friendly & helpful the entire way through. They always put us at ease throughout and nothing was too much trouble. They always went out of heir way to meet our every need.

We had an incredible day

We got married at Abbots Court on 22 October 2022. In the lead up to the wedding both Christina and Cat happily answered our many questions. The house was amazing for the Friday evening and felt very homely. We had an incredible day and Cat was in the background quietly ensuring everything ran smoothly. The venue is stunning whether for a wedding or just a weekend. Need to find another reason to visit. Louise & Andy xx

It's like no other

We choose Abbots for our wedding venue and so very glad we did... Its like no other. The house itself is absolutely stunning and exceptionally well equipped. The latest additions to the venue (the stable and the marquee) have been both designed and built to a very high standard. Beyond the awesomeness of the venue itself those who work for Simon and James obviously care and know their stuff. Christina had her finger on the pulse throughout. You guys made our day (and that of guests!)

We had the best weekend of our lives...

From the moment we arrived at Abbots Court and were greeted by the lovely Christina, we knew that this was the place we were going to get married. We had viewed numerous wedding venues across Dorset and we were so excited to be able to secure Abbots Court and have the opportunity to accommodate our families for an entire weekend of wedding celebrations, at a very reasonable expense. From start to finish the planning was seamless and Christina was around at any time/day of the week to respond really quickly to our never ending wedding questions! We are so thankful for Christina’s support during the run up and on the actual day, the whole thing ran so smoothly and she made us feel very calm during the day itself. As for the wedding venue, we initially took a gamble on planning CGIs as the pavilion was not built yet…. and the gamble most certainly paid off, we’ve since had many of our wedding guests say that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The house where our family stayed with us was absolutely beautiful, from location to decoration, we were all blown away. The walled garden is absolutely stunning, as was the pavilion and our guests and us could not quite believe we were in the UK! We were able to treat our family to a BBQ on Friday evening, and also a catered breakfast on Sunday to cure the hangovers! Alongside this we were able to offer the 6 x Glamping Pods to our family & friends who were travelling, and they all loved them! It was also lovely that we were able to bring our 4-legged friend with us as Abbots is dog friendly, wedding photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives.. Abbots Court has really thought of everything to provide the perfect wedding venue. Thanks to Simon, Christina & the team. We had the best weekend of our lives and would happily pay to do it all over again. We will most certainly see you again. Love Matt & Alice Griffiths
