Wedding Venues in King's Lynn

The Great Barn is beautiful - you can see that from the photos. What the photos don't show are the warmth and professionalism of the Godwick Team. From the outset, communication was efficient and clear. We were assigned an event planner (Hannah), with whom we had regular meetings - Hannah thought of so many small details which would never have occurred to us, but which made the day run smoothly. Hannah set up a WhatsApp group so that we could ping over any questions as they came to mind. Her responses were always quick, friendly and helpful. Our event manager was also present on the day, and it was so lovely to have someone so invested in our wedding overseeing the smooth-running. The day before, we had free-rein to dress the venue as we wished - which was a wonderful occasion in itself. We had lots of children at our wedding, and the Godwick team were extremely accommodating of high chairs, booster seats, play areas, sofas and more. The facilities are superb - ample toilets, parking, PA system, a great bar, an outdoor area for fire pits... Our caterer says the Godwick kitchens are some of the best she has worked in. We really couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else, or having a better experience.

When i first visited Stradsett Hall, i was struck by how warm and welcoming the reception was. Alfred and Charlotte were charming, witty, modest and incredibly helpful throughout the whole planning process. They guided us through the options and suppliers for the big day with ease, and couldn't have been more spot on with their recommendations. Julie Abbs, our caterers for the day were splendid, with an excellent team and the food was nothing short of perfection. Many of the guests said it was the perfect English country wedding venue, complete with stunning rose garden, orangery, and it's own romantic chapel. Completely Jane Austen! We highly recommend it as a wedding venue.

We cannot thank Georgie, Becky, Rebecca and the rest of the team enough for helping deliver the perfect day. They really went above and beyond from helping us capture amazing sparkler photos, fluffing the dress to walk down the isle and to even getting us to our room at the end of the night, with a midnight feast (which was very appreciated when you’ve spent all night dancing and forget to eat). They really put our mind at ease and we were able to enjoy our wedding day without needing to worry about a thing. Thank you all so much! We wish we could do it again. Connor and Eden 18.05.24

I know “Hidden gem” is a bit of a cliché but in this case it feels apt. We found the venue by accident. It’s VERY secluded – even by the standards of Norfolk barns – and surrounded on all sides by greenery, with no buildings aside from the barn in sight. If you love the countryside and nature, you will probably love this place (and you might be interested to know that the owner is investing in biodiversity projects nearby). We even saw deer and hares bouncing around on site. The red brick barn itself is also beautiful in an authentic rustic way and an excellent space for partying and music (our wedding band said it was one of the best party spaces they’ve ever played at). And no neighbours means you don’t have to worry about the noise. The people in charge of running the venue were absolutely great, they were just lovely kind normal people rather than wedding industry types, and were very laid back and flexible, essentially letting us do whatever we wanted with the site. There were no restrictions on suppliers or anything like that and the contract they sent us was incredibly short (our wedding planner was impressed!). We had lots of people camping on the site – more than 20 – and the camping facilities were excellent. The bell tents are luxurious – it was great being able to offer guests a free stay in those. Great Massingham is a five-minute drive away and is definitely one of the prettiest villages in North Norfolk (and we would know – we’ve seen a lot of them). The Dabbling Duck pub is a beautiful up-scale pub/inn/restaurant if you want a base for pre- and post-wedding activities. Overall, very happy to recommend the Little Massingham Estate barn to anyone, especially if you love the countryside and want a space you can make your own. Although our wedding is of course over we still feel quite attached to the place and we feel that the owners deserve every success. Hope you have a wonderful wedding there too!

I have to say everything was perfect. All the staff working at the hotel were fantastic not a thing could have been better. Your service and kindness was outstanding

This Hotel helped my new wife and myself have our very Special Day here, after having been let down by Bradleys Restaurant in Kings Lynn going to the wall, and not even advising us of their imminent closure, or return of our deposit cheque. The Manager and all the Staff helped us enjoy our Wedding Reception here on the 28th February 2013, they went out of their way to make our day truly a memorable one, and with special thanks to Hannah Valentine who was our Hostess and Banquting Manageress seeing us through what had been a very upsetting time prior to our Wedding Day. We were offerred the Main Dining Room in the Hotel for our exclusive use, which we took up the Hotel's offer of, and all of our Guests had a beautifully cooked and prepared and presented 4 Course Meal, with all of our drink requirements taken care of. Everyone present are still talking about our day at the Dukes Head, and we have since recommended another Couple who are getting Married, to look at Booking here, for their Wedding. We understand that they have since Booked up to have their Wedding here also. We both would like to commend the Manager and all of the Staff for providing us with a very Professionally presented Event, and one which we shall be eternally grateful. Thank you.

We are so glad we chose Pentney Abbey for our November wedding. It is a beautiful venue, with so much character which is exactly what we wanted. Meg was our wedding planner - she was amazing at helping us plan the details leading up to our wedding day. Meg always responded to us super quickly, answering any questions we had! On our wedding day, Meg was great at ensuring everything went smoothly and the day was stress-free. Our guests all commented on how beautiful the venue was, and how tasty the food was! Thank you to Meg and the Pentney/UNV team for making our wedding day so magical.

Every detail at Abbey Barn was taken care of by our wedding planner Sophie Manning and the team at UNV. The day was just perfect; my husband and I could just sit back and relax and enjoy the time together and with our guests. Correspondence was quickly and efficiently responded to and reacted upon and the venue contacted our suppliers to finalise details before the big day leaving us to just enjoy the last few days of exciting build up! Endless compliments on the beauty of the venue and excellent food! Couldn’t recommend it more!
