Wedding Receptions
We are delighted to offer you Symondsbury Manor as a venue for your wedding reception.
We have large grounds and can arrange marquee hire, catering, music, flowers, tables and chairs etc. A large eighteenth century paneled ballroom is made available. It is a far nicer experience than being in an hotel because the building is exclusively yours and can be booked for the weekend or week, allowing you time to prepare beforehand and unwind during and after with family and friends and to have a really memorable wedding. No corkage, no formality; a fine venue for a relaxed country wedding.
Catering
The area is famous for its organic food and has been promoted by various television programs including Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage series. Dorset food from this area has a high profile in organic food stores in many cities and our local caterers are very much part of the local food renaissance. Ask about catering for your event...
It is sometimes possible to be married in the village church or to have a Marriage Blessing (an affirmation of marriage vows).
The Electric Palace
We also have in our ownership The Electric Palace cinema/theatre in Bridport as a venue and this can also be booked if you require a large wedding reception with films, restaurant, dance floor etc. (See www.electricpalace.org.uk)
Music and Bands
There is a wealth of local musical talent available to hire for weddings, let us know your taste in music and we will recommend the musicians.
