We cannot recommend Godwick highly enough to prospective couples, if you’re considering booking a viewing, do it! Choosing Godwick was the best decision we made during our wedding planning journey. From our first venue tour with James, Godwick’s owner, the passion and love for the place that had been his family home and played host to his own wedding was clear to see, and this friendliness and pride in their venue was reflected by every member of the team we interacted with throughout the planning process. All of the small, close-knit team were approachable, professional and entirely dedicated to ensuring we had the best day possible. Our coordinator Debbie-Lee was an absolute superstar and a true asset to the Godwick team. From our very first meeting with her she understood our vision for the day immediately and went above and beyond to ensure she helped us create a day that was completely unique to us and exceeded all our expectations. She was incredible at communicating with our vendors, walking us through the logistics and timings of the day and thinking of special touches to bring all our ideas to life. The venue itself had everything we were looking for and more. We viewed around 8 venues across Norfolk and from our first visit it was clear that Godwick just had that extra special something. Everything at Godwick is finished to an exceptionally high standard without ever feeling corporate or ‘one-size fits all’ and its beautiful buildings provide such a versatile blank canvas around which to build your day. The beautiful venue along with the family-run and close-knit team mean you get a truly personalised experience created by people who generally care about you as a couple and are dedicated to giving you the best day possible. We loved the history of the Great Barn itself and it was the perfect size to comfortably seat all of our guests with room for a live band and dance floor. The lawn area behind the barn provided the perfect space for post-ceremony drinks, garden games and canapés, whilst guests enjoyed tractor rides to the beautiful ruins of the Lost Village of Godwick. The opportunity to visit the ruin by tractor was a unique selling point of the venue and provided such a lovely quiet moment to share with each other as newlyweds as well as the perfect backdrop for photos. One of the features that truly made our wedding weekend so memorable was the amazing on-site accommodation which provided the opportunity for so many of our friends and family to stay with us and share in such a special weekend. The Hall itself provided the perfect space for both the bridal and groom’s party to stay together the night before, get ready on the wedding morning and enjoy a brilliant pool party in the sunshine the next day. The rooms were each beautifully decorated and provided the perfect environment for getting ready, as well as a real sense of comfort and luxury. One of the best aspects of the hall was the well appointed games room with its pool table and darts board that provided an ideal space for the groom’s party getting ready photos, as well as for a darts tournament on the Sunday evening that brought all generations together. We also had guests staying in the Old Stables, which was particularly helpful for elderly relatives, as well as in the beautifully cosy Shepherds Huts and Glamping tents which our friends couldn’t praise highly enough. We are so incredibly glad we chose Godwick as the venue for our special day and cannot thank the team enough for all their hard work and dedication to ensuring we had the perfect weekend. We will never forget what a brilliant time we had there and would truly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an exceptionally high quality wedding venue with a real personal touch.

We recently held our post-wedding celebration party at the Dukes Head Hotel, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I mainly communicated with Sharon, the venue coordinator, who did an excellent job responding to my enquiries and confirming all the details. She was professional, friendly and always quick to help, her communication and people skills are fantastic. Our celebration was for around 40 guests, and the ballroom offered the perfect space. The venue allows for lovely custom decorations, such as fairy lights and additional lighting, which helped create the exact atmosphere we wanted. The location is easy to find, with plenty of nearby parking, and the surrounding area is beautiful. We had a custom-made buffet menu, while it wasn’t the best food I’ve ever had personally, all of our guests were very happy with it, and the staff ensured the buffet was refilled promptly. Everyone commented on how friendly, approachable and helpful the team was throughout the evening. We also stayed in the Elizabeth Suite, which was beautiful and comfortable. Both adults and children had an amazing time, and the evening came together perfectly thanks to the combined efforts of the venue team, our decorators, the DJ and our local cake baker. A special thank you to Sharon at the Dukes Head Hotel for her excellent communication and professional approach. xx

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 loved our time at Happy Valley and can’t imagine a more perfect location for our wedding. All our guests couldn’t believe how beautiful and spacious the site was. Katie, Hope, Klara and the team were so friendly and helpful throughout the lead up and on the weekend itself. The site has such great options for really making the event how you want it and it was amazing to spend such a long weekend with our families and whole wedding party on site and not just on the day itself. Memories made to last a lifetime!

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!

The staff at knights hill really went above and beyond to help us make our day special. Anything we asked for, we got. Guidance was provided when needed and the team were amazing. So so helpful. Highly recommended. Food was amazing. Service was perfect. Decorations were phenomenal. Just everything was perfect. They really helped make the day all we dreamed of and more!

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!
