Your guests will be invited to take their seats for the wedding breakfast and will take a short and magical walk through the Italian Garden ready for the next part of your wedding day to unfold. Your caterers, stylists and florists will have been completing the set up secretly without your guests seeing it all happen! Our beautiful marquee is located in the "Secret Garden" called so because your guests won’t see it whilst it’s all being set up during the ceremony and drinks reception. Far enough away from prying eyes but just a short walk to reach.
Came House is your exclusive wedding weekend venue set in the heart of Dorset’s beautiful countryside yet we are a short drive to the Jurassic Coast. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with the Coast and Countryside right on your doorstep.
This is not just another wedding venue. We want Came to be an experience. Your experience. From the moment you get in touch until the moment you leave us (on cloud nine!) you will be looked after by our Came family. You will never forget your time at Came.
Our stunning 12m x 24m traditional marquee features three elegant timber poles and can comfortably seat up to 200 guests for dining. It’s complemented by a hidden 6m x 9m catering tent and a walk-in chiller to keep your drinks perfectly cool throughout the celebration.
The high-peaked roof and panoramic windows on three sides create a light and airy atmosphere — and on balmy summer days, the sides can be lifted to let the outdoors in.
Inside, you’ll find:
White festoon lighting (on dimmers) to set the perfect mood
A fully equipped sound system for background music and speeches
A beautiful oak dance floor suitable for up to 200 guests
A spacious stage ready to host anything from a DJ to a 10-piece live band
A bespoke white bar for your evening bar service
Luxury marquee loos, designed and built to complement the marquee’s timeless aesthetic
Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to provide a seamless and stylish experience — a truly bespoke setting for your celebration.
A lot of the couples who choose to marry at Came are not based in this area but choose Dorset as their destination wedding location as this is such a beautiful and picturesque part of England.
Make a real weekend or break of your time at Came. Your guests can join you here for a magical weekend and then go on to enjoy other delights which this stunning area has to offer
