Part 2
Food and drink were lovely, with catering for all diets and rogue requests. They kept us up to date about things over the day, but quietly and professionally solved any problems that arose so we were none the wiser! A truly wonderful venue and I cannot recommend it highly enough for a weekend wedding.

Part 1
We had our wedding at KCC and had a perfect time. We knew that it was the perfect venue for us from the first time we viewed it. Communication was great from the beginning, and we had lots of our own individual ideas, plans and decorations which they fully supported and helped us implement and facilitated all of them easily. Having access to the venue for the whole weekend was so convenient and made us feel nice and settled for the big day, as well as allowing a big family catch up.

Seriously impressed!
I just shot a wedding at this absolutely beautiful venue. Seriously impressed! The staff were really warm and welcoming to guests and supplies, something that isn't always the case and so, so important for a good smooth and happy wedding. No word of a lie, this wedding venue is absolutely top drawer and so the place I would choose if weren't already married. How could you not want to get married with perfect views of historic Corfe castle in the distance.

Beautiful settings, stunning views
We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our wedding here in June. The staff could not have done more for us, absolute perfection from everyone involved. The food was incredible and everyone enjoyed all aspects of the catering from start to finish. I cannot express how enjoyable the experience was, from start to finish. Beautiful settings, stunning views and the rooms are absolute perfection. All amenities are provided and they will cater to any request, e.g children, dogs, elderly relatives.

You should get married at KCC
When we were looking to get married, we had an idea of the kind of venue we would like. Then we saw Kingston Country Courtyard, and we were blown away. It is the most magnificent setting in the Purbeck countryside, and even if the weather is unkind, the facilities are fantastic and can pretty much cover anything you would anticipate wanting for a wedding and more. But, most importantly, this venue has the very best people to plan with. Planning a wedding is stressful enough as it is, so to have a caring, patient, and highly competent team to work with really makes the entire process an order of magnitude easier! We can’t stress enough how Julie and all of the team at KCC help with the planning process and being there on the day to ensure everything goes very, very smoothly. Our advice would be to have a look at a number of venues, and then choose KCC. It’s the best place, the best setup, and the best people with whom to plan and experience your special day

They were the perfect hosts
We recently had our wedding reception at Kingston Country Courtyard with many of our friends and family staying over the weekend as well. I honestly could fault any of it. They were the perfect hosts and the whole wedding day and weekend were amazing. The grounds and venue are stunning and in a perfect location with fantastic views. The barn which help the reception is beautiful with plenty of space. The food was incredible. The rooms are comfortable with good facilities.

We visited for the weekend to attend a wedding. The rooms were lovely & spotlessly clean. Our dog was given a very warm welcome & the staff couldn't do enough to help during our stay. The food was really good & the location is stunning.

Really special to us
We had our wedding at KCC in June and cannot speak highly enough of all the staff. Julie and Roxanne were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, both in the calls and face to face meetings we had, but also via email when it came to our many questions along the way. Leanne, Claudine, Tony and the team were fantastic over the weekend itself; enthusiastic and friendly. The food was delicious and of course the venue itself is beautiful.
