The historic Hodsock Priory is the perfect location for weddings

Credit: www.meganwilson.netHodsock Priory was lovingly restored in 1829 and has been the home to the Buchanan family for nine generations. Down the sweeping driveway, couples will approach the Grade I listed Tudor Gatehouse and find beautiful gardens surrounding the property.

Having once entertained four English kings, including Henry VIII, the venue epitomises a country house-style with modern touches. The Panelled Hall is ideal for traditional, contemporary and informal ceremonies with 100 people and guests will love the family portraits, elegant wallpaper, high windows and modern touches. Or why not tie the knot in the Buchanan Hall, which features a neutral colour palette and bay window with views overlooking the historic gatehouse?

For those looking to exchange vows outside, the romantic Georgian gazebo is situated in the gardens and will look beautiful in photographs. For more intimate days, the light and airy Ante Room or the traditional Library are both perfect options. Hodsock Priory has been hosting spectacular parties for centuries, and the Pavilion is the perfect setting for wedding breakfasts with 130 people and evening receptions with 240. Guests love using the terrace for drink receptions and taking photos by the lake, which is complete with a rowing boat.
