- HHelena and Andrew10/10/2024Part 2 Part 2Food and drink were lovely, with catering for all diets and rogue requests. They kept us up to date about things over the day, but quietly and professionally solved any problems that arose so we were none the wiser! A truly wonderful venue and I cannot recommend it highly enough for a weekend wedding. Food and drink were lovely, with catering for all diets and rogue requests.

- HHelena and Andrew10/10/2024Part 1 Part 1We had our wedding at KCC and had a perfect time. We knew that it was the perfect venue for us from the first time we viewed it. Communication was great from the beginning, and we had lots of our own individual ideas, plans and decorations which they fully supported and helped us implement and facilitated all of them easily. Having access to the venue for the whole weekend was so convenient and made us feel nice and settled for the big day, as well as allowing a big family catch up.

- DDean10/10/2024Seriously impressed! Seriously impressed!I just shot a wedding at this absolutely beautiful venue. Seriously impressed! The staff were really warm and welcoming to guests and supplies, something that isn't always the case and so, so important for a good smooth and happy wedding. No word of a lie, this wedding venue is absolutely top drawer and so the place I would choose if weren't already married. How could you not want to get married with perfect views of historic Corfe castle in the distance.I just shot a wedding at this absolutely beautiful venue. Seriously impressed!
