Rhinefield House Hotel

Set within 40 acres of grounds and gardens in the New Forest National Park, Rhinefield House is a 19th-century manor approached along a drive lined with Canadian redwoods and copper beeches.

Carved oak, chandeliers and original windows give the Grand Hall its distinctive character, while the Forest Garden Doric Temple offers an outdoor ceremony setting. Weddings can range from ceremonies for two to celebrations of up to 130 guests.

A wedding shaped around you

From intimate ceremonies for two to celebrations of up to 130 guests, our experienced team will help create a wedding that feels completely your own.

The Bay Willow Package brings together the essential elements of your day, including reception drinks, canapés, a three-course wedding breakfast, selected wine, a celebratory toast and evening food. You will also receive a complimentary menu tasting and support from a dedicated wedding coordinator.

With only one wedding hosted each day, our focus is entirely on you.

The Forest Garden Doric Temple

Celebrate in the grounds

After your ceremony, explore 40 acres of lawns and gardens while enjoying reception drinks, photographs and lawn games.

Every part of the estate offers something different, from serene water features and ornamental gardens to the dramatic tree-lined drive. Should the weather change, the historic interiors provide equally beautiful photographic settings.

Food and drink

Our kitchen team creates seasonal menus showcasing the best available regional produce. From canapés and an elegant wedding breakfast to sharing dishes and interactive evening food stations, every course is prepared with care.

Our team can also design a signature cocktail or themed bar inspired by you. A complimentary menu tasting allows you to experience and refine your chosen dishes before the wedding.

Make more of your celebration

Arrive the evening before, welcome loved ones with a private dinner or enjoy a sparkling afternoon tea. You can also unwind by the swimming pool and make time to relax before the celebrations begin.

On the wedding morning, spacious suites within the original house offer period features, dressing tables and generous living areas, creating an elegant setting in which to prepare and capture those first photographs.
