Hannah & Jordan
Real weddings
Hannah and Jordan’s intimate spring wedding at The Montagu Arms was nothing short of magical. Their heartfelt celebration held in the Oakwood room was filled with warmth, personality, and the natural beauty of the New Forest in full bloom. Held in May 2025, their day was a perfect example of how meaningful and memorable a smaller celebration can be, where every moment feels personal and every guest truly connected.
Set in the heart of the New Forest, our boutique Hampshire venue is one of the most charming wedding venues New Forest couples can choose for a relaxed yet elegant celebration. With its blend of characterful interiors and picturesque gardens, it’s easy to see why it stands out among New Forest wedding venues for those seeking something intimate and unique.
From the moment guests arrived, there was a sense of calm and joy that carried throughout the day. The characterful bar provided the perfect setting for welcome drinks, where laughter flowed as easily as the champagne. With a smaller guest list, Hannah and Jordan were able to spend meaningful time with each of their loved ones, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere that’s often at the heart of intimate weddings.
Choosing one of our carefully designed small wedding packages allowed the couple to focus on what truly mattered. Their day unfolded effortlessly, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of. For couples exploring hotel wedding packages Hampshire has to offer, this kind of experience highlights how seamless planning can be when everything is beautifully coordinated in one place. An all inclusive wedding package not only simplifies the process but also ensures a cohesive, stress-free celebration from start to finish.
The gardens played a starring role throughout the day, offering a stunning natural backdrop for both the ceremony and those all-important photographs. Springtime in the New Forest brings soft colours, fresh greenery, and a peaceful ambience that enhances every moment. Guests enjoyed relaxing in the grounds, while Hannah and Jordan stole quiet moments together.
As the evening drew in, the celebrations continued in a way that felt completely true to Hannah and Jordan. Unhurried, full of love, and shared with those who matter most. Guests relaxed into the cosy Oakwood Room, enjoying the warm, inviting atmosphere as the day gently transitioned into night. There’s something especially magical about an intimate wedding evening, where conversations linger, laughter carries, and every moment feels meaningful. It was a beautiful reminder that weddings don’t need to be large to be extraordinary; sometimes, the smallest gatherings create the biggest memories.
One of the most special parts of hosting a celebration like this is the ability to extend the experience beyond the wedding day itself. With beautifully appointed bedrooms available on-site, Hannah and Jordan were able to retreat in comfort at the end of the evening and wake in the heart of the New Forest the following morning.
