Located in the heart of the West Country and surrounded by the peaceful Dorset countryside, Minterne House is licensed to host civil ceremonies in all of its principal rooms, as well as on the South Lawn overlooking the gardens.

Whether you’re planning an indoor ceremony with historic charm or an outdoor celebration in the open air, Minterne offers a setting to suit every style. For those wishing to hold a religious ceremony, the beautiful St Andrew’s Church sits just next door, while the larger St Mary’s Church in Cerne Abbas is only a few minutes away.

Elegant yet welcoming, Minterne House is perfectly suited to both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations — a flexible and memorable place to say ‘I do’.
