We will deliver everything you could possibly need to make your day memorable and coordinate all of the details so you don't have to. Being an independent, family-run hotel we go that extra mile with a personal touch that can only come from a smaller venue.
The Forest is beautiful, with stylish and up-market decor throughout the function and bedrooms. Close by we have the wonderful Packwood House and Baddesly Clinton for those all important memorable photos, or the Dorridge train station has become a very popular spot producing some quirky shots.

FAQs

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
It's one day, albeit a very important one, but don't take out a 2nd mortgage to pay for it.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Tables named after sweet types - heroes, cherry lips, allsorts etc and then they were used to sprinkle on each table, there were not many left by dessert!
