Sunninghill Weddings Venue Dorchester

As a wedding photographer, Sunninghill is an amazing wedding venue to work at and an amazing place to achieve beautiful wedding photos. The main lawn its amazing for outdoor ceremonies, couple portraits, cocktail hour and group photos! It's also amazing if your looking for dreamy, backlit evening portraits as the sunsets onto the lawn nicely. It also has lovely scenery around, with trees surrounding the area, its hard to believe your in a busy town when your there!

We had our wedding at Sunninghill last month and had the most perfect day thanks to Jacky and her team. Even with rain on and off we had a beautiful backdrop inside the venue. The staircase and stain glass windows are stunning for photos. Having a package where tableware, flowers etc were included took a lot of stress away and helped with cost. Having Jacky on hand to help plan and answer any question big or small really took the worry away. The location was brilliant for guests

Hi Jacky, Three years ago today! We've often said how lucky we were to find you you and Sunninghill. Your help both before and on the day was fantastic and the venue perfect. We've got very happy memories and great pictures. Hope you're all well and business is good :) All the best, Guy and Fiona x

My husband Chris and I were married at Sunninghill on 4th June this year. Sunninghill is a very picturesque venue with a rich local history, and we could not be happier with the service provided by Jacky and the staff. Jacky was extremely accommodating when we chose to postpone our wedding by a year, and she and the team worked hard to give us the beautiful outdoor ceremony we chose (and a backup plan, of course!) We had close to 70 guests during the day, who were all very well looked after and catered for. Even with more evening guests, there was plenty of room inside the venue and on the veranda and grounds for everyone to feel very comfortable. I also made use of the bridal changing suite, which was beautifully set up, and it was a real relief to be onsite and ready. It was also amazing to have Laura available to help with my dress! We never had any doubt during the planning or on the day, that anything would be less than well organised and run. Our wedding day was perfect, and we couldn’t have done it without the team at Sunninghill and their partner vendors. ♥️

We were delighted to have chosen Sunninghill for our wedding which finally took place on 28th May after 2 postponements due to covid. Jacky was brilliant from the start helping us to plan our special day, even with the disappointment of the postponements she made things so much easier and was always on hand to answer questions. The day was absolutely perfect, we were very lucky with the weather but had still chosen to have our ceremony in the garden room which was beautifully decorated and arranged by Jacky’s team. Everything ran like clockwork from the moment I arrived as I had chosen to get ready in the bridal room. Nothing was too much trouble and Laura was a great help getting me into my dress x The venue is such a lovely place everyone commented on it, and we had some lovely photographs within the house as well as outside, the grounds were beautiful for the outdoor photographs. We had the most wonderful day and we would thoroughly recommend Sunninghill as a wedding venue, with Jacky and her team behind the scenes organising from our plans, it really was perfect. Many thanks Nikki & Mike Morris 💗

We were lucky enough to get married here on 09/04/22 - we booked late January for a wedding the same year, 3 months later! Jacky was a dream to work with and took all the pressure and stress out of our hands. The building and surrounds were perfect for our intimate ceremony of 30 day guests and an extra 60 more for the evening party, added bonus having a playground for the children - no need to fork out on bouncy castle or other entertainment. The food was delicious and the evening buffet was greatly received. The way Jacky and her team transformed the rooms with such a quick turnaround was very impressive, the boho theme was enhanced with the stunning arch, Ivy trees and wreath wall decor. If you’re looking for a budget friendly location to get married, but without losing the grand wedding vibe, I promise you you need not look further. Just wish we could do it again. Thank you all so much for making our day one to remember. Mr & Mrs Jones

We held our whole wedding day here in August 2021 and it was amazing. Jacky and her team were very accomodating, and despite everything with Covid, we were able to have the wedding that we'd hoped for. The venue is really beautiful; we held our ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening party in the conservatory room and it was perfect. We had around 50 guests and it was the perfect size. The cost was good value for money, and even included some decorations and flowers which was a bonus. There are plenty of lovely spots to get those all important wedding photos, both indoors and outdoors. Particularly the tall stained glass windows! Everything was so chilled and Jacky ensured the day ran smoothly for us. We couldn't have been happier with how the day went. We would highly recommend Sunninghill for weddings.

Thank you to Jacky and all the staff at Sunninghill for our amazing wedding reception. It is such a lovely location, perfect for the family wedding feel we wanted, and the decorations were stunning! All the organisation and your attention to detail allowed us to relax and just enjoy celebrating the day with our guests :)
