Marriage ceremonies can be held in a Gazebo which stands within the heart of these beautiful gardens. From here you and your guests can enjoy your ceremony with a backdrop of the Monet style Japanese Bridge and water lily ponds. This is the closest you can get to an outdoor wedding within the UK under current laws. Civil wedding ceremonies can also take place indoors within The Tropical House or The Conservatory.

Available for exclusive hire, wedding receptions for 30 to 250 guests can be accommodated in a choice of two locations. A lavish marquee on the Green overlooking one of the water lily ponds, or in Café Monet which has a superb view over the lake to the wedding gazebo.

You may choose to hold just your ceremony in the gardens or just a marquee reception, or you can enjoy your entire special day in this one venue. With ample parking for your guests the venue is exclusively yours for the duration or your weddings ceremony and reception. The wedding venue is situated on the edge of Chickerell Village on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast and only 2 miles from Weymouth Harbour. Comfortable accommodation can be found within Chickerell village.
