Blacknest Golf and Country Club Full Description
Blacknest is set in the stunning Hampshire South Downs National Parkland. If you are planning a traditional wedding, or something more alternative we offer a bespoke service to make it a day to remember. From your initial enquiry, through to overseeing the smooth running of the occasion itself, our helpful and experienced team will be with you every step of the way. As the catering is one of the most important elements of any wedding day we are really proud to offer our in house catering team of experienced chefs to create a wonderful menu. We can offer 2 or 3 courses, rustic bbq, grazing tables or pulled pork with all the trimmings. Our beautiful Woodlands Events Tipi is able to cater for 70 to 120 seated guests, and up to 200 evening guests. Our three hat Nordic tipi is available from May to September each year. With the addition of our Outdoor Pavilion, this is licensed for Civil Ceremonies, making it the perfect place for an outdoor, rustic relaxed festival style Wedding all in one place. Our boutique hotel has 5 bedrooms, including a Bridal Suite overlooking the grounds, which is the perfect addition to offer accommodation to the bridal party the night before or on the day. There is also an option to hire one of our 10 bell tents 4 Luxury with double beds or the 6 classic's with the two single beds. At Blacknest we are fortunate to be able to offer couples a completely individual experience. To discuss hosting your special day with us please get in touch.

We absolutely LOVED everything about our wedding

We absolutely LOVED everything about our wedding day, we got SO much positive feedback from our guests who said that the Tipi is one of, if not the best wedding venue they have ever been too. The food was great and there was plenty of it, and the presentation of the drinks with the bar looked amazing. We honestly have no negative feedback on the venue, staff or food etc... Thank you again for all your effort and being so responsive throughout all the planning.

A Unique and Beautiful Venue

The woodlands Tipi fitted our Wedding perfectly. A unique beautiful venue which wowed our guests. We toasted marshmallows, lit sparklers on the fire pit. The kids were able to play safely and happily outside. We were able to personalize the Tipi with our own touches of bunting, flowers, balloons to really make it our own. The staff were professional and helpful, assisting us in every way possible. Blacknest made our Wedding just as we imagined, we wouldn't change a thing.

I cannot fault a single thing...

We had the most amazing Wedding Day which Blacknest helped to make as magical and amazing as we imagined. The venue is a beautiful Tipi with a relaxed feel amongst beautiful grounds. We had garden games set up outside, a photo booth camper and an ice cream camper, which all worked perfectly and nothing was too much for the lovely Blacknest staff to help make it happen. The team were very accommodating with our ideas. I cannot fault a single thing and highly recommend this venue.

I can't tell you how happy we were with everything

Hayley and her team were outstanding with their support, advice and reassurance. We never felt like we were being a nuisance and messages and emails were responded to quickly and efficiently. The rooms were all set up in time and at no time did I feel like they weren't in control. All food and beverages were fantastic and our guests complimented the food from canapes, to three course meal to evening food. I can't tell you how happy we were with everything and how well we felt the day went.

Stunning Tipi! Wonderful fire pit.

Fantastic original Wedding venue. Stunning Tipi! Wonderful fire pit. Great relaxed venue. We had 40 guests camping and a great breakfast was out on the following morning. Friendly staff. Wedding manager Hayley was fantastic at overseeing everything and calm and professional and forever helpful. All our guests and family loved it. Perfect with the number of children we had who ran around and had a great time. Thank you Blacknest!

The venue is a such a gem!

Hayley and the team have been great from start to finish of our wedding planning, doing their best to make our day what we wanted. The venue is a such a gem and we are so glad we found it – the day and setting couldn’t have been more perfect from the Tipi, the pavillion, the food, the camping facilities, we couldn’t fault any of it. Thank you, Blacknest! x
