Description

Smedmore House is a very special, exclusive seaside wedding venue on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset.  This beautiful eighteenth century manor house is the perfect setting for all types of Weddings and Civil Ceremonies. 

Hidden away in the Dorset countryside, among rolling hills with sweeping views to the sea, the timeless beauty and friendly atmosphere of Smedmore House helps create an unbelievably romantic, magical and memorable occasion. 

Smedmore is licensed for Civil Ceremonies. These can take place either in one of 6 elegant rooms inside the house or in the grounds. Since the recent change in the law, many couples prefer to make their vows in the Avenue with its views to the sea or in the Walled Garden.

The lawn at the front of the house makes an excellent marquee site against the backdrop of the Georgian house and with extensive sea views to the side. And for your drinks reception, the walled garden beside the house offers a delightfully sheltered spot among the many exotic plants.

There is accommodation on site for up to 24 guests and for a weekend wedding, 2 nights minimum accommodation is required.  Smedmore offers ceremonies without accommodation midweek on Monday – Thursday.
