The Dorothy Clive Gardens
Facilities and Capacity
The Dorothy Clive Garden offers a riveting selection of licensed ceremony settings enveloped in natural beauty. The Belvedere Pavilion lies at the top of the garden and provides the most magnificent outdoor location for up to 150 seated guests. Elsewhere, the Bryan Mayer Pavilion is a chic rustic setting ideal for smaller weddings of 70. Afterwards, you are free to embrace a wedding feast and drinks reception in any manner you please. You could return to the Mayer Pavilion for a sweet country dining experience with 40 friends and family. Alternatively, you can hire the generous Paddock Lawn for a marquee or tipi reception with no limit on your guest numbers. Meanwhile, the Lower Tea Lawn is readily available for those embarking on a micro wedding of 15. Here in the heart of the garden, you and your loved ones can share the day in a cosy marquee, affectionately called the Little Hat.

Emma- Married at the Belvedere Pavilion in 2020
Jane and all the staff at the Dorothy Clive Garden. Sincere thanks from both of us for helping to make our wedding on Saturday 5th October 2019 so memorable.
Jane and the Dorothy Clive Garden Team. Thankyou for all your hard work, care and attention. With your help you made our wedding day really special. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate all your time and effort.
Our wedding at the Dorothy Clive Garden was an amazing day. The location was perfect, and the gardens are so beautiful for photographs. The staff were superb, and everything ran smoothly. Jane’s attention to detail really made us feel special by planning our day exactly as we wanted. Annie and her catering team provided such lovely tasty food. Our guests really enjoyed the day and complimented the wedding cake and delicious Afternoon Tea. Everyone was so friendly and professional, with nothing too much trouble.
Thank you so much for everything you did to help us make our wedding happen. It really was the best day of our lives. It wasn’t an easy road with lockdown but you’ve done all you can to help it go ahead every step of the way. We can’t thank you enough. We’ll see you next year for the party!
Couple who married at The Woodland Pavilion in 2022
The Woodland Pavilion at the Dorothy Clive Garden, although small, is an ideal place to hold an intimate wedding ceremony in a rural setting. It is a roofed structure with a flagged floor and wooden background wall and several large pillars.
It is tucked away in a quiet corner of the garden, giving considerable privacy to your celebration, even on busy days.
There is the opportunity to decorate and furnish the area to your wishes, in a short space of time, making it into a very personal space.
There are several outdoor areas for an “after ceremony get together” and, if like us, you are blessed with wonderful weather on the day, you will certainly have a magical day to remember.
