The Montagu Arms

We found The Montagu Arms on a wedding website and fell in love with the charming building and classic English gardens. We decided to visit to see the surrounding New Forest countryside and the venue and were blown away with how quaint and pristine the area was. We loved the ponies, donkeys and other wildlife and picture-perfect vistas. We knew this would be an ideal location in Hampshire for a wedding and would make lovely photos for keepsakes. On our visit, Clara was so welcoming and helpful, assisting with any queries we had. We also thought that for the location and the venue, the price was quite reasonable once we compared it to other venues.

You made us and all the guests feel totally spoilt, at home and relaxed all at once. It was perfect.

We wanted an intimate wedding, and when we visited The Montagu Arms, we fell in love with it. The hotel gardens were beautiful, and the location was ideal. We wanted a dog-friendly wedding venue, too, and the set-up at The Montagu Arms meant our dog could be with us for the whole day. Clara, the wedding coordinator, was great on our visit, answering all our questions and being welcoming.

The friendliness of the staff and the fact that we could have the entire hotel to ourselves. We loved the hotel and we were not disappointed. The guests really loved the food – it was a real highlight of the day. Soak in every moment and just enjoy it; the day goes by so quickly and you’ll wish you could relive it!

We had the best time and the day was perfect. We were very fortunate with the weather and everything went to plan. We must thank Clara and all the staff at the hotel to thank for everything they did, our guests loved the wedding and so did we.

The Montagu Arms ticked all the boxes! From the weather to the food, everything was perfect, and our day was better than we could have ever imagined. The whole team at the Montagu Arms was extremely helpful and friendly, and accommodated us from beginning till end. Everyone also loved the unexpected visit of two photogenic donkeys, who loved the fuss our families gave them!
