Step through the ornate wrought-iron gates and prepare to fall head over heels. Nestled in the heart of Hampshire, New Place Hotel is the kind of venue that stops guests in their tracks. This Grade I listed manor house is pure romance and brimming with character. A striking blend of Tudor and Elizabethan charm with a subtle contemporary twist, it’s a true architectural showstopper. Even better? The estate was originally commissioned as a wedding gift and designed by legendary British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens - so love really is written into its walls. Your Day, Your Way Start the day in our dressing room. It has beauty stations, natural day light and your own private changing area so you can have that ‘big’ reveal to your VIP’s. There’s also comfy sofas, mini fridges and a TV so you can sit back and relax on your all-important day. Located on the first floor of our Grade 1 Listed Manor House, you have the whole room to yourselves. It even boasts views over the front circle so you can privately sneak a peak of your guests upon their arrival. When the time comes to say ‘I Do’ you’ll head down our beautifully decorated hand carved staircase, and into the ceremony room where you will be ready to walk down the aisle to meet your loved one. Fully licensed for civil ceremonies of up to 100 guests, the Manor House offers a selection of elegant indoor spaces to suit your vision. Say your vows in the refined Dining Room or the beautiful Bristol Room, both perfect for ceremonies big or small. Or take your vow’s with the most envious of backdrops, our garden. This really is the wow moment of your wedding and the outside ceremony will be the talk of all your guests. Once you have cemented your love you can go on to capture the moment and explore our beautiful setting for your photograph’s. Rest at ease and enjoy your first moments of married life as we’ll host your drinks reception on the glorious terrace and keep the conversation flowing with Pimm’s, classic Kir Royales and ice cold champagne. For larger celebrations of up to 110 guests, you'll head to the Arden Suite, where your beautifully dressed tables set the scene for unforgettable dining. In the evening enjoy dancing the night away with up to 150 of your loved ones. Everything Taken Care Of From start to finish, the dedicated wedding team is on hand to make your dream day effortless and unforgettable. With all-inclusive wedding packages and an experienced wedding coordinator guiding you every step of the way, you can relax and enjoy the journey. On-site accommodation means you can end the night in comfort, complete with a complimentary breakfast for the newlyweds the next morning.

We had the most wonderful experience celebrating our wedding at New Place Hotel. From start to finish, Jacinta and her team were professional, welcoming, and incredibly well organised, making the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with stunning grounds and elegant spaces that created the perfect backdrop for our special day. The kitchen and bar staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly, and we felt so well looked after throughout. Our guests also commented on how lovely the venue was, and how convenient it was to stay on site to enjoy the wedding in its fullness. We couldn’t hav

New Place was always going to be the venue I chose for the wedding. Could not fault it at all! Jacinta was very professional and efficient organising everything with us as I know was difficult not being very organised really at all. She was either a phone call or email away and always answering any queries to us. Freddie was an absolute legend, she was there whenever you needed something, always wanting to help and she could always tell if something had annoyed me (nothing to do with the venue) she was always there to calm me down and make me relax and chill out. Freddie & Jacinta is an absolute credit to New Place! The other staff that helped Nick, Joe, Callum & Finn (I think) and I can’t remember the two team members that helped us the day before too we’re all brilliant! The food was absolutely amazing, the chefs did a fantastic job! Cannot forget the housekeeping & reception team, they were all friendly efficient & very acco

Honestly, we can't thank the team at New Place enough. Planning a wedding through the pandemic wasn't easy but the team did everything they could to ensure we were able to plan a day we always dreamed of. They kept us in the loop as much as they could and were extremely accommodating when it came to changing the date of our wedding. They were amazing from the very start when we visited a wedding fayre, all the way up to the moment we said goodbye to our guests on our wedding day. Every email, phone call and venue visit came with great professionalism, kindness and consideration. We couldn't fault them. The grounds are stunning, the rooms are lovely and the food tasted amazing. Our guests loved it and had the best day too. We will onl

We wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the staff at New Place for making our wedding day so perfect and special! From the beginning when we found the venue and arranging with Jacinta to book it, we knew it was the place for us, it was just perfect! The amazing Manor House, the lawn and gardens and with the hotel for our guests to stay it was perfect! All along this journey of organising the wedding, you and all your team have been brilliant, so caring and helpful in any questions I needed answering and anything I needed help with so from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much!! Leading up to the wedding you have been so incredibly helpful Kay, you’ve been amazing!! Thank you to replying to all my emails and messages left for you! It helped me immensely to know that I could ask you for help and you would be there to help us ! Meeting the master of ceremonies Nicco and on the day our Master of Ceremonies Eleanor was so brilliant our day went without a hitch and she was there with anything our wedding needed sorting! Can you say a massive thank you to her from us please as she was superb and so lovely and kind! She did an absolutely amazing job!! At the end of the night, the bar staff and others who helped pack our wedding pieces away were brilliant! Thank you to all of you, you’ve done an amazing job and you’re all a credit to New

After looking at a number of venues online we went to see New Place for their wedding fair. It was the first venue we saw in person and we booked our wedding that same day! We knew it was the right venue for us immediately. The key things that appealed to us were: we could do the whole wedding on site, the accommodation is lovely and affordable so guests could stay on site, there were lots of lovely indoor locations that we could do photos of the weather was rubbish, the grounds and hotel are both beautiful, the staff on the open day were friendly and helpful, and it was within our budget!! From the day we booked it the staff here have been amazing. A special thanks to Jacinta, Kay, Socrates, Nicu and Liam - they looked after us so well both in advance and on the day. The wedding day itself went off without a hitch. The staff had everything in hand, I loved the little drinks and cakes they gave u

What a beautiful venue, we could not recommend it enough, the grounds are beautifully kept, Food is delicious, the accommodation great and the staff are wonderful! From the minute we began planning our wedding the dedication from the team was seen, from little reminders here and there to always being down the end of the phone for a panicking bride a few weeks before! The whole process is amazing especially with meetings close to the day just to make sure everything has been done and is ready for the big day. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect! A huge thank you to Kay and Nicu, what amazing people to have as part of your team. Kay was brilliant from day one and helped everything fit together, nothing was too much to ask. Nicu helped to make the day go smoothly and genuinely puts his heart and soul into every little detail. Thank you again, we cant wait to visit on our first anniversary
