Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - July/August 2020 (Issue 81)

Wedding hotspots in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Spotlight on ... THE KINGS ARMS, CHRISTCHURCH 01202 588 933 | www.harbourhotels.co.uk/kings-arms If you can’t decide between traditional or contemporary style for your big-day, this distinctive venue blends the old with the new to provide the best of both worlds. Set in the heart of Christchurch, the hotel enjoys fabulous views of Christchurch Castle, the town’s priory and Avon River. Opposite the main building, the hotel has its own traditional bowling green and pavilion which has been lovingly restored into a beautiful New England style wedding venue. A bright and airy space, the French doors open on to a private veranda, allowing the sunlight to flood in as you exchange vows watched by up to 96 guests. Afterwards, stroll across the lawns for a chilled drinks reception and enjoy some outdoor garden games before hosting a reception in the Kings Priory Suite. With its own bar and dancefloor, it can host up to 200 people for the evening do. We love... that the venue hire also includes use of the private dining room for dinner the night before or post-wedding brunch. REGIONAL VENUES 17
