‘I DO’ DORSET Where to wed in this picturesque county MARSHWOOD MANOR, BETTISCOMBE 01308 867 440 | www.marshwoodmanor.co.uk If Victorian grandeur and rustic simplicity are on your wedding wish list, check out exclusive-use venue Marshwood Manor. Located in the ancient Vale of Marshwood in West Dorset, the 22-acre estate offers an idyllic big-day backdrop for newlyweds-to-be looking for something different to the norm. Surrounded by ancient woodland, fields and private grounds, it’s a photographer’s dream. The brick-built Haybarn is a glorious indoor space with a raised platform, ideal for ceremonies, the top table or a live band for the evening party. It can host up to 80 guests for dining and with its high-vaulted ceiling and doors opening out on to a terrace, it’s great for summer or winter weddings. The Victorian courtyard is also licensed for ceremonies with as many as 250 or more guests. Spacious yet private, with access for street-food vans for relaxed dining, it’s ideal for a marquee and looks magical lit up at night. For festival-style celebrations, the Wildflower Meadow provides another picture-perfect spot with stunning views of the vale. WE LOVE… the woodland bower, an enchanting and magical setting for an outdoor ceremony. www.laur adeanphotography.co.uk www.hel enliskphotography.co.uk 17 REGIONAL VENUES
