Have you looked at what seemed like the perfect venue, then been hit with catering costs, corkage charges and bar prices that have blown the budget?
Here at Suffolk Retreats we offer a new approach to wedding planning by offering a beautiful setting, exclusive use of our traditional luxury marquee set in 9 acres of private grounds. Accommodation in 4* Gold commended properties with separate bridal room. And most importantly of all you have complete control over exactly what you want on your special day.
Most venues request that you use their own caterers, their own bar staff and buy drinks at bar prices. We don’t.
Most venues ask you to finish by midnight – We don’t.
Most venues don’t want you on site until the wedding day. With us you can arrive the day before to get everything ready and leave at your leisure the following day.

30x75 feet luxury marquee with ivory walls and roof linings.
Chandelier lighting with dimmer switches.

What our guests say:
We loved the fact that you could bring your own drinks. Choose your own caterers, music and flowers.
We were allowed to have the marquee exactly as we wanted it. Getting it all ready the day before was such a great help, and chilling out in the hot tub with family and friends the night before was such a treat. The wedding was wonderful and the following day family stayed for a BBQ.
A simply amazing weekend which came in so much cheaper than comparable sites.

Fantastic Venue- a hidden gem!
The most wonderful day! Suffolk Retreats is a fantastic venue if you want to be in control of organising your own day and not having the restrictions like many other venues on finishing times, caterers, corkage etc but have the comfort of knowing you are in an amazing setting.

The accommodation is perfect to cater for a large number all on one site, immaculate condition and so unusual with yurts as well!
Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
