The natural place to get married...

Set within the beauty of the Millennium Country Park with its mix of woodland, grass meadows and lakes, the Forest Centre is an idyllic natural setting for your celebration and provides a stunning backdrop for your wedding photographs.

Our experienced, friendly team understand that every couple is different and that their wedding day should be uniquely their own. Attending to every detail, our Wedding Coordinator and in-house caterers will help you create a truly personal “perfect day”.

"This venue had everything we were looking for. From the start of us confirming the booking till our special day we were looked after…I can honestly say we had the best day of our lives. The food was delicious… I would like to thank every one of the staff that helped out on our wedding day. You were all brilliant and we couldn't have asked for anymore… I would recommend this venue to anyone interested in finding the perfect venue for their special day, you will not be disappointed."

A licensed venue

The Forest Centre is a licensed venue for weddings and civil partnerships and welcome ceremonies, receptions and evening celebrations. For those looking for something less traditional, we are happy to host alternative celebrant services at the Forest Centre or in our outdoor spaces.

A special gift

Holding your special day at the Forest Centre helps fund the creation of the Forest of Marston Vale; supporting our vision to plant another 5 million trees. As a special gift, we dedicate a tree to every couple who celebrate their wedding with us, to mark the importance of both their marriage and the lasting legacy of their contribution to our work.

Our wedding brochure will tell you more about us and includes some sample menus, but we’re very flexible, so if you have something specific in mind, talk to us and we’ll do everything we can to make it happen.

If you’d like to talk to someone about celebrating your wedding at the Forest Centre, or arrange a viewing, please call 01234 767037 or email us.

Unique alternative to a Wedding Gift List

Save yourself the time and effort of writing a Gift List by getting your guests to donate towards new trees in the Forest instead. Every £20 is one more tree - imagine the satisfaction of knowing you've helped the Forest to grow, rather than filled up your kitchen cupboards with things you didn't necessarily need!

Simply choose 'More Trees in the Forest' as your cause and fill out a few details about yourselves and it's good to go!

You can choose to just hear about our events, or our campaigns and the work that we do locally. The more people that get involved, the quicker we'll be able to plant 5 million more trees and that can only be a good thing. Not just for the local area but for the planet.
