Nestled alongside Pimperne village Church in the heart of Dorset, you’ll find The Old Rectory, a unique wedding venue in a stunning setting.
The Old Rectory in Pimperne was quite simply the most stunning venue for our marquee wedding. Our guests were blown away!”
Ben – Bournemouth
The house was built by King Henry VIII and sits in three acres of beautiful, intimate gardens including a large flat croquet lawn suitable for marquees and rooms in the house available for bed and breakfast.
Weddings at The Old Rectory are a far cry from the more commercial options in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch and elsewhere on the South coast. Our guests appreciate the unique, intimate and personal atmosphere created by the nature of the venue.
A Hidden Gem! We were so excited to find the Old Rectory in Pimperne, it exceeded our expectations. The gardens and house are beautiful and our marquee sat perfectly on the huge croquet lawn!
