Description

Deans Court is set in romantic, semi-wild gardens. The Wedding marquee lies next to an ancient lake, where monks used to fish 1,000 years ago. Today, the venue retains a dreamy, rural atmosphere – but only a stone’s throw from the centre of the pretty Dorset market Town of Wimborne, with its famous Minster. The venue fee is virtually all-inclusive, and covers everything you need to hold a Country Wedding in a marquee, apart from the food and drink. One of our main strengths lies in the fact that we can organise everything for you and we can offer on-site accommodation for the Wedding party (up to 12 people in our Cottages, and further 16 in our Gate House). Deans Court is a private family home, so you can rest assured that the venue is yours exclusively for your day. Every wedding here is unique because it is designed by the Bride & Groom, with the help of our events team.

Wedding day of dreams!

"From the moment we stepped into Deans Court we just knew it was the place for us. From start to finish Georgia and her amazing team could not do enough for us. This lady knows every aspect of weddings! No question or ask was too much and we were updated and informed of everything, every step of the way. Georgia felt more like a friend, no pressure, informative with updates, dealing with our suppliers and she truly took the overwhelming emotions out of the equation for us.."- Wedding - July 2024

The most magical day!

"Wow! The most incredible venue! From our first venue tour at Deans Court we came out and knew that it was the perfect venue for us. The location and the grounds are stunning, and it was perfect for us. Georgia and the whole team at Deans Court were fabulous, from planning the day and our thousands of questions, to the running of the day itself we didn’t have to think of anything. We had access to the venue the day before which was great..." - Wedding Date - September 2024

Perfect wedding day at Deans Court

"From first enquiries to our wedding day the Deans Court team have been fantastic. The venue is absolutely stunning and the preparation that the team did on our behalf was perfect. A special mention for Georgia, above and beyond, kept us in the loop at all times, kept our day running smoothly and always there to support us throughout the day. Absolutely fantastic and our guests all commented on how magic the staff and venue were. Can not recommend highly enough!" - Wedding Date - September 2024

Stop looking for another wedding venue!

"If you are looking for a beautiful, romantic, picturesque venue then Deans Court is the place. From the moment we entered the venue we knew it was for us. It is the best background on which to build a wedding in your own personalised style. Every detail from the number of guests (we were small at 50), catering arrangements, entertainment and decor completely of your choosing. This was made so easy by the wonderful events team at Deans Court led by Georgia..." - Wedding date - August 2024

Brilliant venue

"Deans Court was the most wonderful venue for our wedding, I couldn't recommend it enough. Not only was the setting absolutely stunning (which was mentioned countless times by our guests), but the Events Manager, Georgia, was absolutely brilliant as well. Nothing was too much for her and her team, and her communication running up to the wedding was great. Everything we wanted to happen on the day was accommodated, and we felt the price was extremely reasonable for what we got." -Wedding - Aug 24

Simply the best!!

"I am not sure where to start! Georgia and the team at Deans court were amazing from the moment we secured our date. No question was a silly question and Georgia would go out of her way to try and make all our requests happen. They are very open with food and drinks options which worked for us as you did not just have to use one supplier which we liked..." - Wedding Date - July 2024

The best day!

"Thank you so much to Georgia and the team at Deans Court. Our day really was perfect and stress free. A stunning location, friendly and professional staff and very easy to communicate and plan the day. Everything was thought of and nothing was too much trouble - even last minute changes! We wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else." Wedding Date - July 2024

Absolutely sublime

"Words allude me with how fantastic this team is. Georgia is absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have done this day without her nor could we now imagine it without her. How anyone could manage a wedding without someone like Georgia and her team I don’t know. She made the day absolutely sublime. The day itself was stunning, the memory of it alone brings us to tears. My only set back is that we can’t do it all over again exactly as it was. Perfect. ..." - Wedding Date - May 2024
