Spacious, classic and comfortable, we felt right at home. Flowers and ornaments decorated the space in a familiar way, with pictures of the famous Selfridge family adorning the walls and windowsills. A famous tenant of nearby Highcliffe Castle, Harry Selfridge rented it from 1916 to 1922 and although not resident at the time of his death, he is buried in St Mark\u2019s Churchyard at Highcliffe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Review: The Lord Bute &#8211; In the footsteps of Mr Selfridge\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144766 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692.jpg\" alt=\"luxury wedding venues uk\" width=\"1038\" height=\"692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692.jpg 1038w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-350x233.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Review: The Lord Bute &#8211; In the footsteps of Mr Selfridge\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144766 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692.jpg\" alt=\"luxury wedding venues uk\" width=\"1038\" height=\"692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692.jpg 1038w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-2-1038x692-350x233.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Review: The Lord Bute &#8211; In the footsteps of Mr Selfridge\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144767 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692.jpg\" alt=\"luxury wedding venues\" width=\"1038\" height=\"692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692.jpg 1038w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-350x233.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Review: The Lord Bute &#8211; In the footsteps of Mr Selfridge\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144767 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692.jpg\" alt=\"luxury wedding venues\" width=\"1038\" height=\"692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692.jpg 1038w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Garden-Suite-1038x692-350x233.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>Just a five-minute walk from The Lord Bute, Highcliffe Castle is beautifully picturesque. Built in a gothic revival style in the 1830s it incorporated large quantities of carved Medieval stonework, with its gardens laid out by the famous Capability Brown. Wedding ceremonies can be held at the castle, with ample opportunities for gorgeous photos \u2013 it really would be a stunning place to get married. Stained glass windows, gorgeous architecture and the beach just minutes away, your photos could feature backdrops of castle, beach and garden!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Lord Bute has three wedding packages and can cater for up to 100 guests for a daytime reception, with an extra 50 for an evening buffet. All packages give exclusive use of the restaurant and Bridal Suite, with additional extras for the other packages, including exclusive use of the entire hotel. The hotel has two AA rosettes for culinary excellence, so we were very keen to sample some of the delicious food!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_144764\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-144764\" style=\"width: 1038px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BH13-photography-1038x816.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Review: The Lord Bute &#8211;

A live jazz band provided the musical entertainment, and the food was, indeed, excellent.
