The Libertine is situated just outside Bournemouth town centre in the heart of Westbourne. We’re a six minute drive from the Bournemouth Town Hall Registry Office, so we’re a perfect fit for those wanting a local reception. With our Rustic but beautiful Forge to hire, we know your wedding day will be one of a kind. Our team will be on-hand to make the planning process easy-as-pie, and just how you imagined.
Our fabulous Head Chef Ellis has come up with some set menus to suit both your palate and the season. From the wedding breakfast, to bite-sized grazing options, always made with the freshest, British ingredients, prepared with love & care, and served beautifully for your guests to enjoy.
Just get in touch – we’d be most happy to chat everything over (with a glass of bubbles, of course.)

We allow table decorations (these look fab) flowers – naturally – and helium balloons. (please note we do not allow confetti).
You can get pencilled-in straight away. Just pop through an enquiry via our website.

No, our Head Chef has created wonderful celebration menus, and if they aren’t quite what you are looking for, we are happy to discuss desired options and we can build a menu to suit. The Forge generally works on a minimum spend, depending on the number of guests, time of year and day of the week, as well as your room requirements.
Full menu choices, plus special dietary requirements are agreed 14 days in advance, so you’ve plenty of time.
Yes, you are more than welcome to hire a small band or a DJ for the evening, but we do ask that live music stops at 11pm.

Of course. Give us a call, or pop in and we can chat through.
