Your happily ever after starts here…

Almer Manor is made for intimate weddings with a relaxed, personal feel. Exchange vows outdoors in the beautiful Dorset countryside before gathering with your closest family and friends for drinks, photographs and an unhurried evening together.

Available for exclusive-use wedding weekends, the Manor and Cottage offer complete privacy for up to 40 guests. There is no need for a marquee or traditional reception format; simply make the house and grounds your own, creating a beautifully considered celebration that feels entirely true to you.
