The Perfect Space for
Your Ceremonies
There are many Asian wedding venues in Hampshire, but none are quiet as luxurious, flexible and visually spectacular as Pylewell Park. Set within 1500 acres of stunning New Forest countryside, with 58 acres of parkland, a 15-acre lake, private beach access, romantic walled gardens and breathtaking views over the Solent and Isle of Wight, Pylewell offers a magical setting for every moment of your celebrations.
With a capacity to host up to 200 guests in the Pavilion and 130 guests in the Drawing Room for ceremonies, we provide a range of elegant and versatile locations for traditional ceremonies, from the beautifully dressed Mandap in our gardens, to the arrival of the groom’s energetic Baraat with dhol drummers and horses along our scenic drive. Our Pavilion is ideal for indoor rituals and vibrant receptions, while the expansive laws can accommodate fire rituals or cultural elements like the Varmala exchange or Milni.
For larger numbers, we have ample space on the balustrade to bring in additional tents or marquees, which can also be used as a weather contingency if needed. However you celebrate, your vision is our inspiration.

Our venue layout allows for seamless service, whether hosting a traditional Langar, an opulent wedding feast, or setting up interactive chai and desert stations.
