Your wedding day, your way, in the heart of Hampshire countryside.
Set in the village of Beech, with easy access from Alton, Basingstoke, Hampshire and Surrey, our oak-framed hall and its village green have featured in countless wedding albums.
Beech Village Hall was the perfect location for our wedding hand tying ceremony. We used the indoors for our ceremony with tea and cake, then took some stunning pictures on the lawn when the weather cleared. Parking was big enough and close by for all guests. Fabulous location — feels hidden away and private. — Juan and Kelly Piastri
Why couples choose Beech Village Hall
Your suppliers, your choices. Bring your own caterer, bar service, florist and photographer. No imposed packages, no corkage fees. We maintain a list of trusted local suppliers at beechvillage.org.uk/wedding-and-party-suppliers if you’d like a starting point.
A full weekend, included. Your hire runs from Friday evening through to Sunday midday. Time to decorate and brief your team on Friday, celebrate all day Saturday, and clear away by Sunday lunchtime without rushing.
Exceptional value. Our all-in package starts at £1,200 – a fraction of what a dedicated wedding venue would charge for a comparable day.
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did for us leading up to our special day. The hall was absolutely outstanding, so many facilities and our guests commented on what an amazing venue it was. You have had excellent communication with us from the start and we are so grateful. What an absolutely beautiful setting for anyone’s wedding, and such a great package that you offer too.

There's a lovely green with a play area should you have children attending.
I'd strongly recommend enquiriing about local lady Sarah for any catering requirements, a great lady, so efficient,made the whole event effortless for us and food was perfect.
I booked the hall again for my 40th birthday in October. With a hired band, dancefloor, and photo booth, I needed a venue large enough to host the equipment but not too large that the room felt empty. It was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped for the food prep and the bar area was perfect for serving drinks, keeping the main hall separate for dancing. The built-in disco lights and fairy lights added an amazing feature and helped bring the ambience together. There are also plenty of chairs and tables.
Kim was fast to respond to any emails and queries. On the day I had an issue with the sound system, he fixed it within 10 minutes of my call which was fantastic and kept me stress free! I wouldn’t hesitate to book this hall again. Amazing value for money, clean, well equipped, and friendly communication.
Thank you!
On the day of the party, we encountered an issue with the newly installed music system, which was not functioning despite attempts by several individuals to troubleshoot. We ultimately contacted the person in charge, who responded promptly and was able to resolve the issue.
Overall it's a nice venue for small gatherings.
Again, thank you, it was such a great time, and see you again one day!
A few things worth knowing
Ceremonies. The hall is licensed for wedding receptions, not civil ceremonies. Many couples marry earlier in the day at Alton Register Office and arrive at the hall for the reception in the early afternoon, it works beautifully within our Saturday start time.
Bar and alcohol. You can run your own bar, hire a local bar service, or combine both. If alcohol is to be sold, a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) is required, your bar supplier can handle this, or we can point you in the right direction.
On the day. As a community-run village hall, we don’t have a coordinator on site, which is why our pricing is so competitive. Many couples choose to hire a day-of coordinator to manage suppliers and timings. If you’d like suggestions, just ask.
Music. Our sound limiter is set at 95dB, comfortably accommodating a lively reception. All music must end by 22:30 and guests must leave by 23:00.
