Weddings

Old Somerley - exclusively yours for your special day.

Nestling in 7000 of acres of parkland, just fifteen minutes from Bournemouth, 20 minutes from Salisbury and 25 minutes from Southampton, Old Somerley is perfect for smaller and more intimate weddings. The newly renovated building retains the original features of wooden beams and rustic charm with a contemporary style. On arrival your guests step through the circular Moon Gate into the unique Zen Garden with water features, driftwood sculptures and exotic plants.

Old Somerley's Garden House is licensed for Civil Ceremonies with up to 100 guests or the venue can seat 60 for just an intimate party or wedding breakfast. A marquee can be sited in the picturesque Walled Garden to provide the ideal wedding solution, incorporating the Civil Ceremony and wedding breakfast, or to host larger wedding parties and evening entertainment.

We offer a number of all year round inclusive wedding packages, starting from £5,900+vat, for 50 guests but each can be individually tailored to your own specific needs, as we know from experience that no two weddings are ever the same. Numbers can increase or decrease to suit and it includes the following:
