Choose the right venue:
When planning a summer wedding, consider venues with outdoor space so you can take advantage of the warm weather. Whether it's a beautiful garden, a waterfront location, or plenty of open space, make sure to choose a venue that suits the summer season. Our Hampshire wedding venue has beautiful gardens with winding pathways and luscious green lawns and is located just a few steps from the picturesque Beaulieu River making the perfect back drop for your wedding photos.
Have a wet weather plan:
Choose a venue that offers indoor and outdoor options so you can easily accommodate any unexpected weather changes. Our New Forest wedding venue offers plenty of indoor space for both the wedding ceremony, drinks reception and meal. Our beautiful Oakwood room while indoors offers a light and airy space with views over the garden.

Stay Cool:
Be prepared for the heat by providing guests with items like fans, parasols, or cold drinks to help them stay cool.

Choose the right outfit:
Make sure to choose attire that is light and breathable for both you and your wedding party. Opt for lightweight fabrics like chiffon or organza for your dress, and consider having your groom and groomsmen wear lightweight suits or linen attire.

Timings:
Plan your ceremony and reception times carefully to avoid the hottest part of the day. Consider having a late afternoon or evening ceremony to take advantage of cooler temperatures.
