Exclusive-Use Moments: How to Host a Fully Private Wedding at White Hart

Why Choose an Exclusive-Use Wedding Venue?

Your wedding day is one of life’s most meaningful milestones, and many couples want complete privacy when celebrating. Choosing an exclusive use wedding venue in Oxfordshire ensures the entire property is yours alone. This not only enhances intimacy but also gives you flexibility and peace of mind.

At the White Hart Hotel in Dorchester-on-Thames, couples can hire the entire venue, combining the history of a 16th-century coaching inn with the benefits of complete exclusivity. From your preparations in the morning to the last dance, the inn becomes a private haven for you and your guests.
