Sunninghill Weddings Venue Dorchester

As a wedding photographer, Sunninghill is an amazing wedding venue to work at and an amazing place to achieve beautiful wedding photos. The main lawn its amazing for outdoor ceremonies, couple portraits, cocktail hour and group photos! It's also amazing if your looking for dreamy, backlit evening portraits as the sunsets onto the lawn nicely. It also has lovely scenery around, with trees surrounding the area, its hard to believe your in a busy town when your there!

We had our wedding at Sunninghill last month and had the most perfect day thanks to Jacky and her team. Even with rain on and off we had a beautiful backdrop inside the venue. The staircase and stain glass windows are stunning for photos. Having a package where tableware, flowers etc were included took a lot of stress away and helped with cost. Having Jacky on hand to help plan and answer any question big or small really took the worry away. The location was brilliant for guests

Jacky is an absolute star. She and her staff hosted the perfect wedding for us under difficult circumstances. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sunninghill to anyone. The decorations were stunning, and on the big day everyone proved to be a very calming influence and everything went without a hitch. We had no idea how to arrange a wedding but with Jacky's guidance we got there and couldn't have been happoer with the results.

We held our whole wedding day here in August 2021 and it was amazing. Jacky and her team were very accomodating, and despite everything with Covid, we were able to have the wedding that we'd hoped for. The venue is really beautiful; we held our ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening party in the conservatory room and it was perfect. We had around 50 guests and it was the perfect size. The cost was good value for money, and even included some decorations and flowers which was a bonus. There are plenty of lovely spots to get those all important wedding photos, both indoors and outdoors. Particularly the tall stained glass windows! Everything was so chilled and Jacky ensured the day ran smoothly for us. We couldn't have been happier with how the day went. We would highly recommend Sunninghill for weddings.

Thank you to Jacky and all the staff at Sunninghill for our amazing wedding reception. It is such a lovely location, perfect for the family wedding feel we wanted, and the decorations were stunning! All the organisation and your attention to detail allowed us to relax and just enjoy celebrating the day with our guests :)

I was lucky enough to have my wedding at Sunninghill in December and it was just perfect. Jacky was super helpful from the first meeting and we knew we could trust her with our special day. The school was set with candles, Christmas trees and we got married at 3:30 just as it was getting dark. We were able to throw confetti inside and get some amazing photos on the beautiful staircase. Couldn't fault communication throw out the year which made me feel very at ease with my plans, I knew I could turn up on the day with no worries at all. Thanks to all at Sunninghill!! X

My husband and I got married at Sunninghill in 18th July 2020. The venue is beautiful, the outside space was amazing for our socially distant wedding! Jacky and the team did an incredible job of making the day so special. Our outdoor ceremony was beautiful, followed by a fantastic afternoon tea in the grounds. Would definitely recommend this venue to any engaged couple, it has something to suit everyone from the gorgeous outdoor space to the unique Sunninghill house. Jacky the wedding coordinator is beyond fabulous and will make sure you day is perfect!

This is a hidden gem, right in the centre of town. From start to finish Jacky and the team at Sunninghill have been superbly professional and so helpful in making our special day complete. The venue is spectacular, all year round. We used the facilities to the max, in particular the open plan large conservatory where we had our reception, the fireplaces, the cosy bar room with sofas which gave the ability for a quieter place for people to relax. We also made use of the sports hall for games, which included table tennis tables etc. Finally the Christmas decoration was magical, in which we utilised the large Christmas tree at the bottom of the staircase for countless photos and a place for people to drop our presents and cards. Jacky was extremely helpful in helping plan our day and kept us at ease all night. In the preparations she made regular contact through our year of planning, keeping us updated with itinaries of the day. Memories made for a life time, thank you Sunninghill for making them.

My husband and I chose to have our wedding at Sunninghill on Saturday 15th February 2020. Not even "storm Dennis" could spoil things! We were unable to venture outside but Sunninghill's beautiful staircase and impressive windows provided us with the perfect backdrop to all our photographs and a very special indoor confetti moment. Jacky was fantastic throughout the planning of the wedding, nothing was too much trouble and was efficient at answering my many emails. Sunninghill is a hidden gem in the heart of Dorchester and is a beautiful setting to be married in. Thank you so much for helping to create a day that we shall never forget.

We were lucky enough to get married here on 09/04/22 - we booked late January for a wedding the same year, 3 months later! Jacky was a dream to work with and took all the pressure and stress out of our hands. The building and surrounds were perfect for our intimate ceremony of 30 day guests and an extra 60 more for the evening party, added bonus having a playground for the children - no need to fork out on bouncy castle or other entertainment. The food was delicious and the evening buffet was greatly received. The way Jacky and her team transformed the rooms with such a quick turnaround was very impressive, the boho theme was enhanced with the stunning arch, Ivy trees and wreath wall decor. If you’re looking for a budget friendly location to get married, but without losing the grand wedding vibe, I promise you you need not look further. Just wish we could do it again. Thank you all so much for making our day one to remember. Mr & Mrs Jones
