In an ideal location, just half an hour's drive from Southampton yet retaining the charm and serenity of the countryside, Parley Manor is an ideal Dorset wedding venue. With wedding ceremonies, receptions and evening parties all hosted in the grand Pavilion, there's little to detract from the wedding you imagine.
The surrounding gardens are a beautiful sanctuary. A team of staff will be on hand to ensure your wedding is professionally coordinated, and without worry. A full list of prices and options is available via the manor's website.
Built in the year 1713, this beautiful Georgian house once dominated an estate which extended for over ten miles to the River Stour in the distant northwest. Whilst now only four acres remain, the house and grounds have lost none of their former grandeur and charm, and nowadays present one of the most splendid gems of the County of Dorset.
The Manor gardens, lined with artistically-crafted Italianate walls and feature pool, will play host to your wedding party exclusively from sunrise to sunset. The large, elegant marquee resides here, adorned with statues and stonemasonry to afford the occasion a singular and timeless aesthetic. Whilst hosting up to 150 seated guests for wedding ceremonies, the capacity extends to 200 for the duration of the evening celebrations.
In-house caterers provide superb cuisine, and pets and children are always welcome to any occasion. There are also a range of recommended suppliers, so you can keep your feet up while wedding planning!
The expert in-house chefs present a broad range of menus, from canapés and wedding breakfasts to a luxury barbecue, starting from just £27.75 per head. Vegetarian or other dietary requirements will be observed to ensure all guests are well looked after, and there is even a specific vegan wedding breakfast menu.
Although independent external catering is not an option at Parley, a corkage fee of £8 per person is levied should you wish to bring your own wine to celebrate your big day. An extensive wine-list and comprehensive beverage menu is featured on the website.

AddressHonestly, our wedding was just so perfect. It is incredibly difficult to actually find anything to suggest to improve. It was truly amazing! Thank you so much for everything you all did from Charlotte, to Merlins, to Malcolm.
Everything went so well. We were so impressed, and so were our guests. The venue and food were amazing. Thank you so much for making our day go so smooth and everything we could have imagined!
I wanted to start by thanking you again, especially for all of your great help on the actual day of the wedding. You really helped to take the stress away and everything was just amazing. We are so, so happy with our choice of the wedding venue, it couldn't have been any better. Thank you again so much.
I just wanted to send you a message to say thank you for everything that you and the team did in the lead up to our wedding and on the day itself. You were always there to answer any of my questions and made sure everything was perfect. On the day itself we didn't have to think about a thing!
We had an awesome day so thanks to every single member of staff that made that happen for us. I don't think we could have topped the day anywhere else in the world at any other venue. Everyone guided us through so well and, apart from the usual bride and groom nerves, you guys made us and all our guests feel so relaxed and well looked after.
I cannot thank you enough for how amazing you have been throughout the planning of my wedding. I feel incredibly blessed to have had my wedding at Parley Manor. It was literally my dream come true.
Thank you for calming me at the highest peak of my nerves. For fluffing my dress. For your step by step, meticulous guidance in making sure our day went smoothly and beautifully.
