Our weddings are bespoke and personalised - reflecting your personality and making your wedding unforgettable.
Originally built around 1832, Minstead Lodge is steeped in history and character. The venue features beautiful rooms with oak-panelled walls and captivating views over the grounds which you and your guests will have exclusive access to. The Long Hall, adorned with an oak fireplace for a winter log fire, leads to the South Terrace-an ideal spot for a refreshing drinks reception before the wedding breakfast. Intimate gatherings find solace in two bay-windowed reception rooms, versatile for ceremonies, receptions or additional lounge/bar areas. The lush gardens, spanning from the veranda to the middle terrace, offer outdoor ceremony options. At the same time, the Blade Garden accommodates celebrations with the Lodge and a marquee, providing flexibility to tailor your special day.
As your celebration unfolds, Minstead Lodge offers a variety of spaces for the wedding breakfast. Opting for the drinks package adds a sparkling touch, with prosecco toasting the happy couple (or sparkling elderflower for non-alcoholic preferences). The festivities transition seamlessly to the Long Hall, where chosen entertainment sets the stage for dancing until 11pm. The day gracefully concludes at 11:30pm, with pre-ordered taxis ensuring your guests find their way home safely, wrapping up a day filled with love, joy and cherished memories.

Top Wedding Tips
Prioritize your needs and desires. Identify the aspects of the wedding that matter most to you and your partner, whether it's the venue, photography, or specific elements of the ceremony.
Have contingency plans, especially for outdoor weddings. Weather can be unpredictable, so having backup options for ceremonies or receptions is a smart move.
Remember, your wedding day is a celebration of love and commitment. Enjoy every second of it!
