Rebecca R. Sent on 26/08/2024Fabulous Venue!
Lanwades Hall was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first visited the venue we fell in love with it. It looks very grand but has a very intimate feel to it and the grounds are beautiful. We went for the weekend package which was brilliant for giving us time to set up and to spend the evening before celebrating with our friends and family. The day itself was everything we could have wished for and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. Thank you to Charlotte, Tegan, Alex and Elvis for making our day so special.Lanwades Hall's reply:

It was a pleasure to be part of your celebration, and we hope you have many happy memories from your time here. -

Georgie B. Sent on 25/08/2024What about amazing wedding venue
We had an absolutely amazing wedding at Lanwades in June 2024. The team there are so incredible, managing to be laid back but totally on top of everything at the same time. They managed all the details seamlessly in the background and we were able to enjoy the day without worrying about anything. The venue itself is absolutely stunning with beautiful grounds and lovely accomodations. Thank you so much to Alex, Elvis, Charlotte and Tegan for helping to make this such a special day for us. We really appreciated all the extra little details. I highly recommend this beautiful wedding venue.Lanwades Hall's reply:

A stunning, hidden gem
Lanwades Hall was the perfect venue for our day. The hall is completely stunning but still has a comfortable, homely feeling to it which helped to make our day feel relaxed. The grounds, including the sunken garden, are beautiful and well looked after, giving you endless opportunities for gorgeous photos. Plus the accommodation upstairs allowed our travelling family and friends to enjoy the night to the fullest. The rooms were super comfy and the supplied breakfast meant there was no admin for us to worry about!
Charlotte, Alex, Elvis and the team were so friendly and helpful throughout the planning process. Communication was always strong and, on the day, there was literally nothing for us to do!! They made it all so easy!
The only tiny hiccup we had was a misunderstanding about music for the service - we were unaware that we had to find someone from our wedding party to manage this - but it was soon sorted. It just would have been nice to have a staff member support us with this.
Thank you SO much to everyone at Lanwades Hall who helped make our day beyond perfect ❤ -

Amazing from start to finish
We can not fault Lanwades or the team they are amazing from start to finish. Everyone was so helpful & friendly. Charlotte was amazing she even helped on the run up to the big day with advice(even tho she was on holiday herself). we didn't have the best weather on the day (rain all day) but they thought of everything and the whole day run so smoothly and this is down to the team. We could not recommend Landwades and the team any higher. I'm going to miss not talking to carlotte and visiting on the open days. Its a beautiful venue with a beautiful team who make you feel so welcome from day one.Lanwades Hall's reply:
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We’re overjoyed to hear that you had such a fantastic experience with us and that Charlotte, (even while on holiday), could provide the support and advice you needed. We’re sorry about the rain but thrilled that the team was able to ensure everything went smoothly. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we’ll miss working with you too! It was a pleasure having you at Lanwades Hall, and we’re so glad you felt welcomed and cared for from start to finish. -

We had our wedding at Lanwades Hall on 8th June 2024. We had a phenomenal experience and would highly recommend this as a venue to anyone.
We were looking for a small-to-medium sized venue for around 60-80 guests. We chose this venue after visiting for one of their open days because the venue was the right size and location but also because everyone we met there (Alex, Elvis Charlotte, Tegan) was so warm, the building is beautiful and the sunken garden is spectacular.
Things we found particularly great:
• The setting is stunning and certainly has a wow factor. The house itself and the grounds are stunning. Despite the Tudor-style it is actually quite a modern building, so whilst looking impressive and grand, it is very clean and comfortable.
• The team (Alex, Elvis, Charlotte, Tegan) were fantastic. They were all extremely friendly and welcoming. They have been running weddings there for several years now, so are extremely experienced at knowing what works well, how to use the space, different things people have done etc.
• There will be members of the team there on the day to help guide your guests (and us) around and make sure everything went smoothly (absolutely no need for an additional wedding planner).
• They allowed us to select from two caterers at different price points, as these companies know the kitchens well and have a close partnership with the venue. Both caterers have fantastic menus. We went for the more affordable option (Portfolio), but the food and service was absolutely fantastic (many positive reviews from our guests), so either way you’ll have a great meal. In some ways the reduced choice of caterers is actually a blessing (sometimes too many options is a bad thing).
• The accommodation was great. We were able to offer affordable rooms in the venue to up to a max of 26 of our guests on the night of the wedding, which was ideal. There are lots of accommodation options in Newmarket near the venue (at various price points) for other guests.
• The space itself was really what we were looking for. There are lots of different interconnected spaces (bar, dining hall, cosy rooms with sofas and chairs, outdoor terrace). It meant in the evening people who didn’t necessarily want to be on the dance floor, could comfortably retire and chat, but still felt part of the wedding. We’ve been to weddings before where the venue is essentially one big room, which personally I enjoy less.
• All our local vendors (photographer, DJ, flowers) all mentioned how they had worked the venue before and how much they loved working there, which is great.
We had just under 70 guests, which is about the max that this venue can accommodate, so if you are planning a wedding with mega-numbers of guests (e.g. >100), it is probably not the venue you’re looking for. If however, your wedding is 50-70 guests, Lanwades is absolutely perfect and would recommend it to anyone.

My wonderful husband and I grew up in Newmarket and had no idea that this incredible location existed until we spotted an open day sign one day, when driving past. We had only really just started thinking about setting a date but we stopped in and fell in love with the place immediately. We didn't even bother looking anywhere else. As you make your way down the driveway you can feel how special it is.
We booked for the whole weekend and honestly am so grateful that we did.
Elvis and Alex were so welcoming and made booking the venue of our dreams so easy. Charlotte was fantastic at helping us plan the whole day and both she and Tegan just made everything from setting up on the Friday to packing up on the Sunday seamless. Whenever we visited and especially when we were there for our wedding, they made it feel like our home.
The venue is stunning, the grounds are beautiful. There isn't a part of this venue that is not to love. It's perfect if some of your guests have kids with a play area and being set apart from the road. Our guests absolutely loved Lanwades Hall and have all commented on how perfect it is for a wedding.
We certainly can't thank the team enough and would not change a thing if we were to do it all again. -
