Smedmore House

Smedmore House is a very special, exclusive Dorset manor house for 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.

There is a recommended list of caterers.  It is possible to bring your own for an additional charge.

The house is always hired exclusively.

There are eight bedrooms in the main house, two of which are en-suite, whilst the remaining six share a variety of bath and shower rooms.

In addition, the Garden Wing may be available upon request for a further six people in three bedrooms (subject to charge).

A 30% non-refundable deposit on booking and sliding scale of charges if cancellation takes place during the 6 months leading up to the wedding.

Ceremony only offered Monday to Thursday inclusive.  Option to hold a reception afterwards if wanted.

Weekend package includes 2 nights accommodation and ability to put up marquee on Friday and strike on the Monday.
