ROWNHAMS HOUSE & GARDENS, SO16 8LS 02380 733 298 | www.rownhamshouse.com Rownhams House is one of Hampshire’s hidden gems providing an exclusive setting for a romantic wedding. The beautiful Georgian building is set in 12 acres of gardens and woodland, complete with its own lake. The gardens offer a wealth of great photo opportunities and the lawn is the perfect place for mixing and mingling post-vows. Licensed for ceremonies with up to 120 guests, you can marry under the Medieval Coach House arch, in the woods or by the side of the lake surrounded by trees. The Coach House with its impressive arches and tall clock tower provides a stunning backdrop for photos and for outdoor dining during the summer months there are two large marquees available on the lower lawn with stunning views of the lake. The house oozes atmosphere and elegance with its striking architectural design and Regency drama; perfect for a Bridgerton-inspired wedding. You can tie the knot in the Grand Library and celebrate afterwards with a wedding breakfast for up to 100 loved ones. The adjoining Billiard and Morning Rooms are ideal for intimate ceremonies or the drinks reception when the weather’s bad. There’s a spacious main entrance hall for the evening food, reception room for relaxing, a separate dancefloor area for the DJ or band and a quirky dedicated bar in the adjoining Knights Hall. WE LOVE… that brides have their own private room to get ready on the day.
