Your Wedding At The Libertine

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 Mark 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.)

Our Wedding Testimonials

We had our wedding reception in The Forge and it was an incredible day! Staff are very friendly and went over and above for us and our guests. We had a buffet option from the menu and everyone remarked on how great the food was. It’s our favourite place in Westbourne and we were so happy to have had our special day with The Libertine and it’s crew!

Lottie - 2023

We booked the forge at the Libertine which is the rustic function room behind the restaurant for our Wedding reception. The room looked fantastic when we got there. The food was delicious and kept on coming, no one was left hungry. And the team were attentive and very happy to help us with anything we needed. I highly recommend booking the forge for any type of function or just a get together for a group of friends. Thank you to all at the libertine.

Paul - 2023

We went to the Libertine the day after our wedding with some friends. It was fantastic. We had a private seating area (the Forge), excellent service and amazing food. Can't wait to go back!
