LOCATION AND GETTING HERE
The Perfect Wedding Venue for Winchester Registry Office and Winchester Cathedral
Straight into the celebrations!
One of the joys of getting married in Winchester is that everything feels wonderfully close together.
Forte Kitchen sits in the heart of the city on Parchment Street, just a short walk from Winchester Registry Office at Castle Hill. Once the ceremony is over, your guests can make their way to Forte for welcome drinks while you take a little more time to enjoy those first photographs as a married couple.
No coaches. No long transfers. Just a stroll through one of England’s most beautiful historic cities.
A WINCHESTER WEDDING ON FOOT
Winchester makes a wonderful backdrop for a city wedding.
From the Registry Office, the route to Forte takes you through the historic centre, with Winchester Cathedral and its beautiful grounds close by for photographs along the way.
It means your ceremony, photographs and wedding reception can all become part of the same relaxed experience, with plenty for guests to enjoy around the city before and after the celebration.

“A huge thank you for a fabulous evening. The whole night went so well and we all had a fantastic time at Forte Kitchen. Everyone said how excellent the food was, and Mum and I were so grateful to you for ensuring her allergies were fully catered for, so thank you, we appreciate how tricky it can be! The room looked great, and the venue was perfect.”
