Established in 1880 as a Victorian Pleasure Garden, Larmer Tree now hosts relaxed, quintessentially English country weddings in the most stunning surroundings. Quirky and unique buildings sit next to a perfectly manicured lawn, allowing the feel of an outdoor garden wedding with the comfort of indoor spaces for dining and evening receptions for up to 150 guests (daytime) and 250 (evening). Get married outside in front of one of the quirky buildings or inside in the historic Jubilee Hall; an atmospheric and cosy space with a ceiling of fairy lights. Enjoy Drinks and Canapes on the lawn before dining in the bright and airy Pavilion dining room. Party the night away in the Jubilee Hall with its large dancefloor, adjoining bar, snug and terrace with firepit and festoon lights. Larmer Tree has several resident Peacocks (plus two Macaws!) and are a constant source of entertainment for guests. The famous Singing Theatre is a unforgettable backdrop for live music and photography. Larmer Tree hosts weddings all year round and in the cooler months couples enjoy the gardens for photography and use the Jubilee Hall & Pavilion for ceremony, drinks reception, dining and evening reception. The in-house caterers Forkingout design fantastic wedding menus to suit any wedding style. From plated formal dining, to sharing platters or barbecues, the flexibility is second-to-none. Enjoy the quality locally source ingredients prepared by experienced chefs and served by a friendly and professional team. Larmer Tree's team of wedding coordinators guide couples expertly through wedding planning, providing help and support at every step of the way and ensuring that on the day everything runs smoothly.

Our in house caterers, Forkingout, offer a wide variety of menu options. From plated menus, to feasts and BBQ's there is plenty for you to choose from. Forkingout have been in partnership with Larmer Tree from 2008 and so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands. "It is important to say that you are not just paying us for the food. We provide a complete service. Before your day starts, our team will be setting up and dressing the room, including table linen and linen napkins, ready to wow your guests. Throughout your day we will meet your guests as they arrive, opening our horse box bar for coffees and drinks. The entire time we will be mixing and serving drinks, while our chefs work hard to produce fresh canapés and your wedding meal. In the Pavilion, we will serve you freshly baked bread with Dorset butter, drinks and your wedding menu, ensuring that any special diets are catered for efficiently and discreetly. After fresh coffee and petits fours, it’s back to the lawn for games, the horse box bar remaining open until dusk. It is then that your guests will return to the Jubilee Hall to dance the night away. Forkingout will man the bar, prepare and serve evening food, cut and serve your wedding cake and wave goodbye at the end of your very special day."

The weddings of my dreams

I wanted to get married at Larmer Tree for years before I was even engaged. And every single thing about the day was completely magical. We both loved our wedding, the team that made it happen, and three years later we wouldn’t change a thing.

We had our wedding at Larmer Tree Gardens in July earlier this year and it was absolutely perfect. From our first visit to the venue we knew it was the place where we wanted to get married, it was magical, and had everything that we had in mind for our special day. Thank you specifically to Amy, who helped us throughout the whole journey, answered all our questions, and was just incredible on the day as well, it was seamless, we didn't have to think about anything else on the day and were able t

Everything under control

Our daughter recently got married at the Larmer Tree and what a lovely experience it was. Amy and her team made the day very easy, and nothing was too much trouble. Amy had everything under control, the day was as stress free as it could be. The settings are excellent and the combination of indoors and out worked beautifully despite the uncooperative weather. The food was excellent and Amy and her team provided excellent service throughout. The transition from one room to another was manage

Best day of our lives

We honestly could not ask for a better wedding day. It was simply the best day of our lives, and Larmer Tree was an integral part of that. From the stunning backdrops, the incredible staff, the amazing food and just a simply stunning venue. Although we knew how amazing Larmer Tree was from prior visits, it just felt even more incredible on the day. Francesca our wedding coordinator was simply faultless and made everything run so smoothly from the moment we booked, right up to the day. It is safe

Breathtaking

We had our wedding at The Larmer Tree Gardens and it was the most incredible venue. The grounds are just wonderful and absolutely breathtaking - the whole team are so helpful but particularly Amy who was our wedding coordinator. She is the most calming tranquil person I’ve ever met and she ensured that the day ran seamlessly. The peacocks are a delight to behold and they made a real show for our guests and the photographs. I couldn’t recommend The Larmer Tree highly enough. It’s spectacular.

A Fantastic Experience!

We had such a fantastic experience at Larmer Tree with Amy and the rest of the team there. The venue itself is incredible. It is such a beautiful setting with so many options of how you would like to have a wedding, we chose the lower Indian room for our ceremony and was perfect! Amy was a constant source of support throughout our wedding experience, she made the event run so smoothly and took so much stress out of the day. On the day she was incredible, quietly working hard to make sure we were having the best day and we could not have done it without her! We couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else and Amy helped us create our perfect wedding day.

What an amazing venue!

What an amazing wedding venue this is. We were so lucky to have been married in the spectacular gardens! From our first contact with the Larmer Tree, to our wedding planning meetings with Katy and our food tastings with Forking Out we could not fault a thing. Everyone worked so hard to make our day so special and there was nothing out of place or any little detail that was missed. The day went so smoothly and we are so grateful for the whole team who made our day incredible! We will certainly be back!

Everything we wanted and more!

We had our wedding at Larmer in April coordinated by Amy. The venue is absolutely stunning and it fitted everything we wanted and more. We had the absolute best day possible and that is all thanks to Amy and the rest of the team at Larmer tree and forking out. From the beginning (including helping with the postponement of our wedding) to the day, the organisation was seamless. Amy was incredibly responsive to all our questions leading up to the wedding and constantly put us at ease. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and it was all thanks to Amy’s super organising to make sure everything went as planned. Everyone commented on how well the day went and we couldn’t agree more! It couldn’t have gone any better, we had the best day! We can’t wait to visit Larmer tree for many anniversaries to come.

Absolutely Brilliant

We had an absolutely brilliant postponed wedding day at The Larmer Tree. The team were brilliant with all our date, and plan, changes, and Francesca was wonderful with all our organisation and on the day, we felt very lucky to be working with her. We've had so many comments, even now, about the food served by Forking Out which was plentiful and absolutely delicious! We've had quite a few guests say it's the best wedding they've been to - and some have been to quite a few!
