Beaulieu Hotel & Drift Inn, New Forest

Beaulieu Hotel & Drift Inn, New Forest – Wedding & Event Production

A former coaching inn set among open heathland on the edge of Beaulieu village, the Beaulieu Hotel & Drift Inn offers some of the widest views in the New Forest, and the space to match them. Ponies, donkeys and deer roam the surrounding heath, and the venue is close to Beaulieu Road station, so travel is easy for guests coming from further afield.

The largest wedding venue in the New Forest Collection

The venue has three connecting suites: the Ipley, the Exbury and the Beaulieu. Book them separately for a more intimate day, or combine them to host up to 250 guests for an evening celebration.

• The Ipley Suite: seats up to 120 for a ceremony.
• The Exbury Suite: a smaller, equally elegant alternative for around 90 guests.
• The Beaulieu Suite: has its own private bar for the evening reception.

A New Forest wedding day from drinks to dancing

Guests are welcomed with a glass of chilled English sparkling wine in the courtyard gardens, before moving through to whichever suite suits the scale of the day. For couples and planners who want real scale without losing the feeling of being out in the forest, the Beaulieu Hotel & Drift Inn delivers both.
