Whether your wedding is small and intimate or a larger affair, the Mill is the perfect venue for you. Sopley Mill is an inclusive venue, and we are all about showcasing your happiness. Love is love, and we have proudly hosted same sex marriages at The Mill for many years and with many gay couples already booked in for this year and next, you can entrust your most special day to us.
Our team are friendly and welcoming, and we are excited to share just how romantic a setting Sopley Mill could be for your same-sex wedding day.
We are licensed for civil ceremonies, and we also have hosted wonderful celebrant led weddings following a civil marriage offsite.
Exclusively yours, the Mill provides privacy and flexibility for you to create your most wonderful wedding day in the most idyllic rural setting. We are located in the quaint village of Sopley , surrounded by nature and peaceful, yet just 10 minutes from the major towns of Bournemouth and Christchurch with mainline public transport links and accommodation for your guests.
The Mill is a blank canvas for you to design your perfect day. We will provide the stunning views, a beautiful historic building in a riverside location and the privacy that is hard to find in other local wedding venues. You can use the photographers whose style you like, the florist you know, the wedding planner you trust, the decorations you have longed for and the caterers you want from our extensive list of trusted and local suppliers.
We offer two different options for couples wanting to use this incredible building for their wedding. Option 1 is just hiring the building and creating your own fantastic day from scratch. This for couples who want to design their own wedding and make sure it is completely unique. Option 2 is for those who want a bit more help and guidance and would like the Sopley Mill team to organise your day with you.
For anyone wanting to organise their own day we work with some great, well known, and trusted local suppliers who can make planning your big day an absolute breeze. But that is up to you, you may prefer to do all the planning yourself.
With our off-peak wedding packages, we help organise the key parts of your wedding, the catering, drinks and music. This helps with budgeting and allows you to concentrate on the finer details. Our wedding co-ordinator will also be on hand to help set up and run your day so that you can relax and enjoy yourself. We offer off peak and peak day wedding packages. Please contact us for further information or your bespoke package quote.
