Pylewell Park is the New Forest’s charming country house-cum-award-winning wedding venue by the sea. It’s less than two hours from London, yet feels worlds away, reached via a long, tree-lined drive that opens onto 58 acres of manicured parkland and sweeping views over the Solent. The estate thrives on individuality: the team, affectionately known as the ‘wedding wing women’ – Mel, Nicole, and Aby – toss out the rulebook to craft highly personalised bespoke weddings. The team are specialists in making the impossible possible, and the sky is literally the limit – they can arrange hot air balloons. At Plylewell, everything is entirely yours: the house, gardens, and private beach. Couples can exchange vows in a variety of stunning locations, from the intimate in-the-round Circular Lawn, set among rhododendrons, to the dramatic Main Sail, a nine-sail canopy accommodating up to 180 guests. Celebrations flow seamlessly around the estate, with guests lingering in sun-dappled gardens and convivial nooks. The house itself is a home from home – particularly so your dogs will be welcomed – sleeping up to 26 guests in 13 individually styled bedrooms (befitting Marie Antoinette, no less) with a designated three-bedroom penthouse ideal for the bridal party. Pylewell Park invites imagination; embrace its ethos: your day, your way.
Every moment felt straight out of a fairytale. The attention to detail that you show is second to none – we adored all of the little details and personal touches that you scattered throughout the venue for us! Our guests were blown away by the house and grounds (who wouldn’t be?!) and so impressed by the hospitality you showed to them all. We can’t fault any part of our wedding weekend with you guys, there are no words to express our gratitude to you all!

It was most definitely the best day of both of our lives. We are so grateful – the team in the lead-up made us feel so at ease, and no question was too big/odd. From the ceremony run-through to helping with our multiple music requests and helping in the morning to ensure everything ran smoothly – we were blown away by our Events Manager. The whole team also made us feel so welcome, and it really felt like our home for the weekend, which was exactly the feeling we wanted to have.
