We had our wedding at Hengrave Hall on 12 July 2025. From our very first visit to Hengrave Hall we knew that this magical venue was where we wanted to get married. The entire venue is gorgeous and historic and kept in excellent condition; our guests were wowed by it. As history lovers we particularly loved how the Hall was decorated in a style sympathetic with the historical period of the property. While the hall itself is a dreamy, historical and luxurious venue, the staff is what elevates Hengrave to Suffolk's premier wedding venue. From our first visit to our wedding day, they went above and beyond for us. Every one of our (numerous) questions as answered quickly. We could visit the Hall pretty much as often as we liked, sometimes on the same day as we requested. The staff was always kind, courteous, helpful, and above all, professional. I had been slightly worried as I have heard from other brides whose venues had in-house day-of coordinators that were not up to par. I had nothing to worry about whatsoever with the staff from Hengrave and their exclusive catering partners Milsoms, who ran the wedding day. All we needed to do was sit back and enjoy getting ready, the wedding, and the breakfast the morning after; we didn't need to worry or stress about a thing! When we arrived at 10:30am, the wedding was almost entirely set up already. The staff was attentive and helpful all day, making their presence and help known but not being intrusive. Any question or task was dealt with promptly. Most importantly, they kept us running on schedule and shepherded the guests where they needed to go and when! Every little detail was treated with attention and care. Numerous guests, including some in the wedding business themselves, commented that it was the best organised and run wedding they had ever attended. It was truly a high-end, luxury, and five-star experience. Our whole wedding day was a gorgeous and amazing experience, thanks to Hengrave Hall and its staff. We are so glad we chose it and thank you so much!

Maddy was there in the morning to make sure we were doing okay, ensuring we got to the ceremony on time, did the ceremony music and from then on was always in the background making sure everything was done perfectly. The feedback from our guests were that food and drinks were fantastic, that the venue was modern and how effortlessly everything flowed. Getting ready in the bridal suite was fantastic too, a huge room overlooking the course and all of our guests used the facilities onsite with their bedrooms. We cannot recommend this venue enough, we have been so well looked after from start to finish and want to do the whole day again!

We genuinely can't recommend Swan Tipis enough. From the very first enquiry, the communication was seamless. Rob, Laura, and the team were attentive, organised, and incredibly helpful. They took the time to understand our preferences, offered brilliant vendor suggestions, and were easy to coordinate with when we brought in additional suppliers. The food was a real highlight. We had a BBQ for lunch, and pizzas in the evening. There was loads of it, and every guest commented on how delicious everything was! On the day, the Swan team were absolutely phenomenal. I’d expected to be managing the schedule and logistics, but they took care of everything. Whenever I thought of something, it was already done or being handled. Their calm, proactive approach meant we could fully relax and enjoy every moment. The venue itself is stunning. The pub is cosy and welcoming, and the outdoor space is perfect for games and mingling. Our guests loved our garden games—welly wanging, pick-up sticks, giant Jenga, and Connect 4 kept everyone entertained all day. We had so many compliments from guests about the food, the service, and the beautiful setting. Huge thanks to Rob, Laura, and the entire Swan team—you made our day unforgettable. We’d recommend Swan Tipis in a heartbeat. (I would upload more photos but took so few on the day as was having such a good time, and professional ones not back yet!!)

Well Honey and Team, where do we start.... We really can't thank you enough for the amazing day we had last Thursday, 29th. We just want to do it all over again. From the first moment we visited Tuddenham Mill we knew we wanted to get married there. It really is the most relaxing place we have ever been to. We start to relax the moment we walk through the doors. Honey from the moment we met we knew everything was under control. We really can't praise you enough. From start to finish your attention to detail has been amazing. We feel we truly have made friends at Tuddenham Mill. I'm afraid we will be visiting lots!! Along with Stanley obviously. I'm unsure I can write how grateful we are to you and the team there. You really have made a special day amazing, beyond words and we are so thankful. You all worked so hard to make our day the best and it really is appreciated. We look forward to seeing you very soon. Much love and thanks The Youngs xx

My Husband and I could not fault a thing! We had the most amazing day. We were lucky enough to get married at the Summer House outside on a beautiful August day in 2014. The staff were attentive and looked after not just us but all our guest, the food was superb and our family and friends commented on what a absolutely stunning day it was, every detail looked after! Thank you to Becky and her team x

To everyone at the Farmers Club, Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into making our wedding day really fantastic! Emma & Tom

We had the best wedding day at Hall Farm Weddings with great communication throughout. Being a dry hire venue, you have so much flexibility and space to be imaginative and creative with your wedding day to make it exactly and whatever you have dreamed of! You can choose the suppliers you want to be a part of your day, and Mike and Sarah are on hand to help throughout. The barn is absolutely stunning and set in a beautiful location surrounded by countryside and trees. Having 3 day hire gives you time to set everything up and down without feeling rushed so you can fully take in the experience of getting married. It's a great big bonus to have onsite bridal accommodation included in the package at The Hide Suffolk and a campsite for guests too. Totally recommend this venue for your big days and special events!

Where do I start? When we started looking at venues we first met Jono at his other venue in Essex. When we sat down with him and was discussing our wedding he then told us about this venue. Well we booked in to see it and we fell in love with the venue as soon as we stepped foot in it. I think we were the first wedding they held at this venue too Everyone who came to our wedding told us how wonderful the venue is and how good the food was and the service. Thank you to everyone who helped us with our wedding. It was such an amazing day and we couldn’t of done it without you all!
