Weddings
A beautiful and historic country house venue with award-winning gardens that offer romance, elegance, grandeur and beauty, the perfect backdrop for memorable photographs and a very special day with your family and friends. Forde Abbey never books more than one wedding at a weekend, making it exclusively yours to enjoy.
Celebrate in Style
Forde Abbey grants unmatched surroundings for you to greet your guests, dine and dance into the evening. Start with a champagne reception in the Great Hall and enjoy the 30 acres of award-winning gardens, open to your guests to explore while you create an unforgettable photo album.
Civil Ceremonies
Forde Abbey is available for civil marriage ceremonies, civil partnership ceremonies and chapel blessings. For sheer grandeur, the Great Hall provides a stunning backdrop or for a cosier setting, the Monk’s Refectory is a more intimate choice.
