Dunwood Hall Estate

“It’s only forever”…for this very reason it was important for us to find a venue which reflected us and what we are about. Dunwood Hall surpassed all expectations. Our wedding ceremony and celebrations were absolutely perfect. So many guests commented that it was the best wedding they’d ever been to; it all felt so relaxed, intimate and filled with love. Everything we dreamed of was accommodated - to the finest of personalised details. This is not a run-of-the-mill venue; it is a beautiful, neo-gothic family home which gives guests a luxurious and unique experience for a few lucky couples each year. The house and grounds are stunning- quirky, unique and intimate with acres of fields, and numerous garden areas to explore, alongside a fresh water swimming pool. Multiple indoor areas allowed our friends and family to mingle, dance or chill as they wished. Moving between the sunny orangery, outdoor terrace lounge, dining room, opulent hallway bar with grand piano, music room and the cosy snug with open fire. Erika and Brodie are wonderful hosts, We were encouraged to do things our way rather than worrying about what others expected or what tradition dictates. This ultimately resulted in a wedding which was so meaningful to us, surrounded by the people we wanted to celebrate with. Trust in Erika and Brodie’s experience and advice. They know what works and what doesn’t. Our experience was fully bespoke with ongoing support throughout a year of meticulous planning as well as during our wonderful weekend of love and fun. Erika and Brodie’s attention to detail, friendly comms and wicked sense of humour meant that they became an integral part of our weekend; chatting and celebrating alongside us all, whilst somehow also ensuring the smooth running of events at the same time. That is no mean feat; they are incredible! As a dog-friendly venue it was a joy to have our cavachon as ring-bearer and our friend’s little yorkies as pooch-maids, complete with flower garland collars. Resident doggos, Chisel and Lourdie, were perfect hosts too and even guided some guests to the orangery for the ceremony as they arrived! We recommend booking the venue and on-site accommodation for the entire weekend (Friday to Sunday) as we did. This allowed us time to give 10 of our guests a weekend away whilst also settling in and getting organised well in advance so the wedding day itself was completely stress free. The newly refurbished on-site accommodation is gorgeous! Especially the Bridal suite, with far reaching views of the local hills, an en-suite featuring a roll top bath, and the most beautiful toilet we’ve ever seen! 🤣 As an LGBTQ couple, it was also important for us to choose an inclusive venue where we would be understood and welcomed with open arms. We felt 100% comfortable to be ourselves; allowing us to fully enjoy an amazing and magical experience.

Attended a wedding at Dunwood Hall. Beautiful place, wonderful hosts. Grounds are unbelievable. We were able to stay there overnight. Had the most amazing time.

I recently visited Dunwood Hall as a photographer. I approached the Kemp-Lovett family to ask if I possibly use the hall as a location for a styled shoot. They were more than accommodating and opened their home to us. So very professional and helpful. Myself and the other suppliers involved in the shoot all said what great hosts they were and such nice people. The House itself is nothing short of majestic, beautifully decorated throughout and the grounds were gorgeous. I really hope I get to work there again in the future. A fantastic, family run business.

Beautiful & tranquil the estate will meet all your expectations. The Kemp-Lovatts are the perfect hosts. We had the pleasure of attending a wedding at the Dunwood Hall Estate... would highly recommend!

We chose Dunwood Hall for our wedding because of its gothic charm and quaint styling. It was the perfect intimate venue for what we wanted and still catered for a large party in the evening. It complimented our style superbly and really gave the retro/vintage feel that we wanted. As a venue it is a little different comprising of numerous intimate and enchanting rooms off the main hall. People would slink away and have quiet drinks or mingle in a busy atmosphere. The gardens are beautiful, again with numerous little pockets of gorgeousness which were perfect for photos. It is definitely a venue with the wow factor whilst keeping its composure and charm for a bespoke and truly magical day. We would absolutely recommend!
