MR & MRS PURTILL
Spectacular Celebration Spaces
Utopia’s light, open plan space offers a relaxed and stunning venue that really brings the outside in.
The main room offers a beautiful, informal setting for your reception which then easily transforms into the perfect party venue for the evening celebrations. The two smaller side rooms work wonderfully as a bar and chill out area.
Your Ceremony
Utopia has a civil ceremony license, offering a beautiful space to exchange your vows, either inside the building or outside on the veranda. Our Sacred Heart Chapel is also a wonderful option for Catholic weddings.
Food
Whether you are looking for a traditional wedding breakfast, a foraged grazing table or something totally unique to you, we highly recommend using our team of in-house chefs. We know that you will be in safe hands, as well as blown away by the delicious food that is both good for you and kind to the planet.
Flowers by Brook & Earl
We work exclusively with mindful florist Jane from Brook & Earl. As a trusted supplier, we can be sure that Jane will expertly deliver your vision and that your special day will look the part. Jane is based here on the Sanctuary and is familiar with all our venues and locations.

Fun on the Sanctuary
Your extended stay allows time to discover all that the Sanctuary has to offer. Enjoy an alfresco BBQ at our magical Fire Temple the night before, spend the day in our woodland sauna and wild swimming pond or keep it simple with a relaxing picnic by the meandering river.
