LGBTQ+ Friendly Wedding Venue in Dorset

The family owned and operated Marsham Court is an Edwardian hotel overlooking the beautiful Bournemouth bay with its award-winning sandy beaches. Our award-winning gardens provide terraces awash with colour in the summer months.

With 4 individual civil ceremony spaces, couples can pledge their love to each other outside in our beautiful south facing garden, or choose one of our wonderful indoor ceremony and banqueting suites, which can provide both a traditional or contemporary space to suit your personal preference whilst all benefiting from stunning views over the water.

As an inclusive venue, we have welcomed many same sex couples who have allowed us to play a key part in their special day and host their civil partnership. The hotel offers award winning event coordinators and staff to work with you to plan your special day. All dietary requirements are catered for and our talented culinary team will create menus of delicious cuisine to satisfy your tastes and those of your guests.

We have carefully crafted 2 packages which offer a stress-free option for couples who want to concentrate on the excitement leading up to their celebration. Our Bay View package is perfect for couples who want the hassle taken out of the whole day and includes all the key elements that make up the day you have dreamed of. Alternatively, our Sunset package is more suited to couples who would prefer an informal evening reception after their ceremony. Perhaps you’re getting married abroad and would like an evening party for friends and family? Our evening package will allow you to celebrate your marriage or civil partnership exactly the way you want.

Of course we are very happy to work with you to create a bespoke day and have arranged wonderful themed celebrations including Afternoon Tea or Hog Roast options. NEW for 2019 for smaller celebrations for up to 32 guests is our intimate wedding option requiring a minimum spend of just £1500 giving you complete control to have your wedding, your way!
