Minterne House

I got married in October at Minterne House and it was outstanding! The house and the grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and it was the perfect setting for our Autumn wedding. Lord Digby and the wonderful staff who helped out made us feel very at home when we spent the wedding weekend there. They were all so kind and accommodating and any issues that may have cropped up, were covered and the day went so smoothly! They went above and beyond and every wish that I had for the day was granted by them, which you don’t get at a lot of venues. The accommodation on site is fantastic for guests - it was amazing having the wedding party and family on site the whole weekend. Every guest spoke about how stunning the venue was and marvelled at the incredible history of the house. Minterne House is truly one of a kind and will hold a place in my heart forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our day so memorable and special!

Minterne was relatively new to the wedding industry when we booked it back in 2021 following many failed COVID-effected dates with our original venue, and so finding Minterne was a true aligning of the stars (thanks Bridebook!). I cannot express how wonderful the team are - we truly felt welcomed by Lord Digby and his team into his home as special guests. This venue is not a wedding factory - they will make you feel at home and do everything they can to make your day the best day they can. From accommodating our toddler to the most impressive breakfasts, to helping find a string quartet the day before the wedding when the original group cancelled(!), to the genuine care that the venue managers had to get it right for us. They accommodated our requests so happily and it was a relief to hear “yes” rather than “no” as we had done from our original venue. The guests all said how stunning the venue was (in fact some said it was the best they’d ever seen) and the fact that 40 of the guests could stay on the estate was just amazing. Every room received a box of chocolates and a handwritten card welcoming them - this is 5* accommodation service. We honestly feel a bond to the estate now and we hope to rent a cottage there for our first anniversary. PS there is even a pool for guests staying the morning of the wedding! Thank you thank you thank you!

I came here and celebrated a friends wedding and was enchanted by the house, its owner - Lord Digby- and the team. What a special home and place to get married.

Celebrated my daughter’s wedding at the beautiful Minterne House in Cerne Abbas, Dorset. The venue is truly amazing. Accommodation was superb. The grounds stunning. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating, especially Sarah who was there from start to finish and nothing was too much to ask, and always done with a smile. They ensured the happy couple, family and friends left with a smile and many happy memories. We can’t thank you enough. I would strongly recommend anyone thinking of holding a wedding or special event to contact them. First class service. 😁

We couldn't have hoped for a better venue to celebrate our wedding than Minterne House, it was the perfect setting for our big day.

We loved every minute of our wedding, Minterne House was beautiful. The atmosphere at Minterne instantly put everybody in a relaxed and happy mood.
