This has been written about the wedding venue: Highcliffe House, Dorset

"Highcliffe Castle is a Grade I listed building which was built between 1831 and 1835 by Lord Stuart de Rothesay. It has been described as "the most important remaining example of the Romantic and Picturesque style of architecture." The Castle was built on the site previously occupied by High Cliff, a Georgian mansion designed for the 3rd Earl of Bute (a founder of Kew Gardens), with grounds laid out by Capability Brown. The Earl's fourth son, General Sir Charles Stuart who sold the estate apart from Bure Homage, a small house on its outskirts, inherited High Cliff. All that remains of High Cliff today are the two entrance lodges, presently being used as a restaurant and some of the garden walls and features on the present estate. Highcliffe Castle specialises in the civil wedding ceremony and holds up to 3 ceremonies per day (1 only on Sundays). They offer just the ceremony, ceremony with reception or just the reception, to give you a choice for your big day. The marriage ceremony is held in the beautiful Wintergarden. If you are holding your ceremony only here, the fee is for use of the Wintergarden, Drawing Room and grounds for up to one and half-hours."
