    Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to The Balmer Lawn. From the months leading up to the wedding, right up until the morning after our wedding day, nothing was too much trouble. Our wedding planner, Ruth, was so helpful and reassuring. She was there to support us the whole way through, and seemed to know exactly what we would need next without us even needing to ask (i.e. a sip of water just before i made that daunting walk down aisle!). It was the little touches :). All the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, not just to my wife and I, but also to all of our guests. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was fantastic. All of our guests commented on how great the food was, and how hard the staff worked to ensure everything ran smoothly. And our Master of Ceremony was fabulous ! The staff at The Balmer Lawn worked so hard to make our wedding day one to remember, and we would definitely recommend having your wedding here.

    We’re just back from two nights in Amsterdam with friends and just talking about the most amazing day of our lives! Thank you, Slav and all of the team at Balmer Lawn for making our day so incredible- we just can’t believe how spectacular it was and all the love we had from so many people You are doing an amazing job and should be so proud at how you make peoples special day so incredible! We’ll be sending bigger emails soon to you and to and Chris and Alison – we felt so welcome and were treated in the most personal way. If we hadn’t had to have left early on Sunday morning we would have stayed to just tell everyone who came to the wedding showcase that there was nowhere else in the country to book their wedding than the Balmer Lawn Hotel. Our love and heartfelt thanks.

  • GEMMA & LUKE

    I just want to start by saying a massive thank you from both Luke and myself from the bottoms of our hearts!!

    You made our day the most incredible day we could have ever dreamed of! You made us feel so comfortable and relaxed from the day we booked with you right the way up to the wedding day. 

    The whole day was amazing for us. The venue is just perfect, the food was to die for and even all the small details it was more than we could have imagined. 

    Everyone complimented the food and said it’s been the best food they’ve eaten in a long time! 

    We just want to say that Lyndsey did an amazing job on the wedding day as well. 

    We will be back to Balmer Lawn as often as we can!

  • ALISON & MARCO

    From the first meeting right up until the end of our wedding day, the staff at Balmer Lawn have been exceptional.

    They made our special day even more spectacular than we could have ever dreamed of and nothing was too much trouble. They were attentive to every detail and request and as a result, our day went without a single hitch.

    Thank you so much and I would recommend for anyone looking for a venue to visit and choose them to hold your wedding day.

    Everything but the Dress

    This venue is just incredible- I would recommend it to anyone. From the moment we booked, Ruth and her team have been amazing. We got the Everything but the Dress package which meant we had no stress searching for suppliers. All of the suppliers were excellent and we got a perfectly tailor made day but with no stress. The communication in the lead up to the day was great- Ruth is very responsive to emails and so reassuring.

    The day itself was just incredible, the events staff were brilliant. Lindsey was our co-ordinator for the day and she was amazing- she was there from 10am till finish and everything was so organised. The whole day ran like clockwork and everyone was so lovely and friendly- but I could see how hard they worked. As a type A personality it's hard for me to relinquish control- but I really felt I could relax and didn't have to worry about a thing.

    I really can't put into words how great this place is- but I would recommend it to anyone.

    The most amazing experience

    Cannot even describe what a good experience we had with Balmer Lawn. Our special day has exceeded all our expectations. We opted for the Everything but the dress package and I cannot recommend it enough. All the vendors involved have been amazing and so accommodating. Everyone put us first and nothing we asked for was too much. Ruth has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish, the kindest person we've met. Our families and friends are raving about the venue, vendors, staff and especially the food. Everyone at Balmer Lawn made us feel like royalty (especially our dogs who definitely stole the show).

    My experience at the Balmer Lawn Hotel as a wedding venue was truly exceptional. The picturesque setting amidst the New Forest provided a breathtaking backdrop for our special day. The staff's attention to detail and dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly was remarkable. The hotel's flexibility in accommodating our requests, along with their top-notch catering and cozy accommodation, made for an unforgettable wedding experience. I would highly recommend the Balmer Lawn Hotel to other couples seeking a charming, elegant, and an accommodating venue for their big day.
