Tucked away in the heart of the New Forest National Park in Hampshire, Minstead Lodge Estate provides an enchanting woodland haven for a country house wedding.
This charming venue, located on the outskirts of Minstead Village, is surrounded by the natural beauty of Lyndhurst, offering couples a tranquil space for their special day. The estate, belonging to Minstead Trust, a local charity supporting over 300 people with learning difficulties, adds an extra layer of meaning to your celebration, contributing to the well-being of vulnerable individuals and fostering a sense of community.
Explore a variety of exquisite rooms with oak-panelled walls and stunning views over picturesque grounds. The Long Hall’s oak fireplace, adorned by a crackling log fire in winter, provides a warm and inviting atmosphere.
For those seeking an intimate wedding experience, the cosy and elegant rooms are perfectly suited to create cherished moments in a smaller setting.
Let romance flourish amidst the enchanting gardens. From the inviting Veranda to the serene Middle Terrace, you’ll find a selection of outdoor spaces ideal for your ceremony within the tranquil grounds.
Whether you have tied the knot at the Lodge or another venue, the celebrations continue with the wedding breakfast in one of Minstead Lodge’s glorious rooms or a marquee if chosen.
Your guests can take their seats as your chosen music plays in the background. Your chosen caterers will serve you and your guests a delicious meal, and finally, your chosen entertainment will kick off the party! You’re welcome to have the music up until 11pm, giving you plenty of time to dance the night away.
Last orders will be called at 11pm, and the evening will draw to a close at 11:30pm. Taxis can be pre-arranged with local companies to ensure guests can safely and conveniently return home at the end of the festivities.
Whilst Misntead Lodge doesn’t offer a catering service, it does have a curated list of recommended caterers or is happy to welcome your preferred caterers into its fully equipped kitchen.
Being located in the New Forest, there are plenty of B&Bs, hotels, and other accommodation options to choose from. Minstead Lodge is also linked to Furzey House (also owned by the charity Minstead Trust) and is happy to offer this as accommodation for you and your wedding party. This house sleeps up to 10 people and is a short drive from Minstead Lodge.
Minstead Lodge is easily accessible from the M27 and is 25 minutes outside Southampton.
