Deans Court Full Description
Deans Court is set in romantic, semi-wild gardens. The Wedding marquee lies next to an ancient lake, where monks used to fish 1,000 years ago. Today, the venue retains a dreamy, rural atmosphere – but only a stone’s throw from the centre of the pretty Dorset market Town of Wimborne, with its famous Minster. The venue fee is virtually all-inclusive, and covers everything you need to hold a Country Wedding in a marquee, apart from the food and drink. One of our main strengths lies in the fact that we can organise everything for you and we can offer on-site accommodation for the Wedding party (up to 12 people in our Cottages, and further 16 in our Gate House). Deans Court is a private family home, so you can rest assured that the venue is yours exclusively for your day. Every wedding here is unique because it is designed by the Bride & Groom, with the help of our events team.

Amazing Venue
Dean court was the most beautiful venue and everything we could have wished for. All the team but especially Georgia (who is incredible!) made sure the day ran smoothly from start to finish. I can not recommend them highly enough. Honestly there was no negatives or anything I would improve or change. 10/10 from the day we viewed all the way through to after the wedding. We also stayed in all 3 cottages on site which were beautiful and felt like home from home for the weekend. Date - July 2023

Beautiful Venue
We are so glad we chose Deans Court! We stayed in Apple and Plum cottages and had our Wedding reception at Deans Court. From the first visit, we fell in love with the venue and knew that we could trust Georgia and the team. All of the staff at Deans Court exceeded our expectations. They were so helpful and brought amazing energy to the lead up, the day itself and even the clean up afterwards. They put us at ease and we had such a brilliant day!... Wedding Date - June 2023

Everything we hoped for, and more!
From the moment we met with the Deans Court team, we immediately knew it was the right venue for our day. Georgia and team work tirelessly to make sure every last detail is perfect, and the result of that is a truly special and unique day for every single couple. Through the wedding planning process, the communication was excellent, no question or ask too much, and on the day everything ran so smoothly thanks to Georgia and team... Wedding Date - September 2023

The Perfect Day!
We couldn’t be more grateful to the team at Deans Court and specially to Jonathan and Georgia. The whole process from beggining to end was made so much easier with their ideas, advice and support. They were incredibly accommodating and always helpful and reassuring. The day went like a breeze, completely stress free we were able to enjoy every minute. Deans Court is an stunning venue! Every one was so taken back by how beautiful everything was. Thank you all for making our big day so magical!!
