Here is everything you need to know about your wedding at Hodsock Priory!

The Ceremony

Ceremonies mainly take place in the Panelled Hall with space for up to 120 guests, or in the Library for a slightly more informal ceremony option – both are equally beautiful. In the Panelled Hall, you can say your vows in front of the roaring fireplace overlooking the Gatehouse, North Lawn and manicured gardens. This spectacular room is the epitome of grandeur, featuring portraits of ancestors adorning the walls and decadent furnishings to complete the look. 

The Reception

Hodsock Priory is renowned for The Pavillion, which is often considered to be the focal point of the house. The room is rich with history and heritage, boasting ornate décor and subtly luxurious details. It can host up to 120 guests for your wedding breakfast and 250 for your evening party. A blank canvas space, the Pavillion offers you the chance to unleash your creativity and go all out with your wedding décor, colour palettes and themes to really make your wedding at Hodsock Priory your own!
