Why Choose an Exclusive-Use Venue for Your Wedding?
When planning your wedding, selecting the right venue is one of the most significant decisions you'll face. The venue establishes the overall mood for the day and is vital in crafting the ideal atmosphere. Opting for an exclusive-use wedding package guarantees that your venue is reserved solely for you and your guests, preventing public access. This ensures a truly distinctive and memorable wedding experience.
At the Montagu Arms Hotel in the New Forest, we offer exclusive hire of our Hampshire wedding venue. Here are our top reasons for keeping your big day exclusive...
Privacy & intimacy
With an exclusive-use wedding package, you and your guests can enjoy your celebration in a completely private setting, free from interruptions by other events or hotel guests.
This dedicated environment fosters a peaceful, intimate atmosphere, allowing you to focus on creating meaningful memories with your loved ones in a warm and personalised setting.
Home away from home
An exclusive-use wedding can feel like a genuine "home away from home." The private setting allows you to personalise the space and create a warm, inviting atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and relaxed.
This sense of familiarity and exclusivity can transform your wedding day into a deeply meaningful occasion. Surrounded by loved ones, you'll have the chance to forge genuine connections and share intimate moments that will be treasured for years to come. These heartfelt experiences will leave a lasting impression, making your celebration truly unforgettable.
Personalisation
Choosing an exclusive-use hotel wedding provides a higher level of flexibility and control over every aspect of your special day. You have the opportunity to collaborate closely with the dedicated event team to bring your vision to life, ensuring that every detail aligns perfectly with your style and preferences.
From customising the décor and theme to adding personalized touches that reflect your unique story as a couple, an exclusive-use venue allows you to craft a truly one-of-a-kind celebration. This tailored approach ensures your wedding feels authentic and meaningful, creating a memorable experience for you and your guests that perfectly captures your personality and love story.
Accommodation on site
Having accommodation available on the venue premises simplifies your planning and allows for a more seamless wedding experience. With 33 comfortable bedrooms for you and your guests, there's no need to worry about transportation or finding nearby places to stay.
This convenience means everyone can relax and fully enjoy the celebration without any added stress. You can truly let loose, savour every moment, and focus on creating unforgettable memories on your special day.
Exclusive use provides a sense of privacy and intimacy that can’t be matched. With exclusivity of our New Forest wedding venue, the grounds, the staff and anything else you require you and your guests can fully immerse yourselves in the moment without any distractions.
