    A grand occasion

    Summer Lodge is sufficiently large to rise effortlessly to the grand occasion, yet it has never lost the feel of a welcoming private home – whether you’re planning an impressive event for up to 70 guests, or a more intimate affair for between two and 24. You can also choose a marquee in the garden for up to 200 guests.

    Equally important, there is a close knit team of experienced staff with all the skills, talent and enthusiasm required to make every moment utterly magical. Their attention to detail and passion for excellence are sure to exceed your every expectation.

    The ceremony

    Hold your ceremony in our local church, in the hotel's elegant Drawing Room, the intimate Dorchester Suite or weather permitting, outside in the hotel gardens with the idyllic Dorset countryside as your backdrop.

    Saint Osmund's Church is located in the village, just 100 yards from the hotel, with the Drawing Room and Dorchester Suite in the hotel main building.

    Intimate weddings

    For intimate weddings, the beautiful and serene surroundings of Summer Lodge are perfectly suited to small celebrations as well as large lavish affairs. Whether you are opting for a celebration for just the two of you together, or with your nearest and dearest, our dedicated staff will make sure your special moment together is everything you could wish for. 

    The perfect venues

    Drawing Room

    The elegant Drawing Room is located next to the Bar and is beautifully decorated in a traditional style. Perfect for civil ceremonies of up to 40 guests, including the registrar, it's an ideal venue for the wedding ceremony, before enjoying drinks in the Bar or on the terrace.

    The Restaurant

    Choose from exclusive-use hire for the evenings, or non-exclusive use for intimate lunchtime celebrations. The restaurant and the adjoining conservatory seat a maximum of 76 guests, or perhaps choose the adjoining Conservatory on its own for up to 20 people.

    The Dorchester Suite

    The splendid Dorchester Suite offers style and sophistication in peaceful surroundings. Ideal for more intimate weddings, The Dorchester Suite can accommodate up to 22 guests (including registrar) for ceremonies and receptions or a private wedding breakfast for up to 12 people.
