The New Forest National Park is a jewel in Hampshire, with its beautiful surroundings and landscapes. It will impress your guests and create unforgettable memories. You’ll find many New Forest wedding venues, from country manor houses to beautiful converted barns to modern and classic wedding venues. You will be utterly spoilt for choice.
Some of our Bridal Wedding Cars in Hampshire and Dorset are based local to The New Forest, and are often visible chauffeuring our Brides and Grooms throughout the forest roads to some hidden wedding venues. Whether Vintage or Classic Cars are the mode of transport for the day The New Forest will be the place to see them in their finery on a weekend. Alternatively, check out our small wedding venues in Southampton if you're looking for a more intimate event.

Rhinefield House Hotel is my firm favourite (probably because I worked there for a year). It has a 40 acres of well kept private ground, ornamental ponds, beautiful gardens, outdoor wedding ceremony and a excellent reputation for its food.
If you are looking to get married in The New Forest you will certainly wish to add Rhinefield House to your shortlist.
