Hold back the river

We’ve got lots of gorgeous Waterside Wedding Venues in Dorset to inspire you. To help you find the perfect match you can filter results by location, capacity and specific features like exclusive use and civil licence.

There’s something special about a wedding by the water. On a lake, by the sea, in front of a river… the atmosphere and beauty that comes hand in hand with a waterside setting is pretty spectacular. The photo opportunities are amazing too – so it’s not a big surprise that some of the best wedding locations in the UK happen to be waterside venues. So from riverside settings to secluded bays, harbourside hotels and shimmering lakes to on-the-beach weddings with the sea lapping gently on the shore, we’ve got the best waterside wedding venues ready and waiting to be explored.
