Wedding Venues in Suffolk

The Riverside Hotel team have been such an amazing support. From the initial planning all the way through to the day after the big event. We hired the Riverside Hotel to host our wedding and we booked the entire site exclusively for our use. The rooms were spacious and clean, the food was amazing, the staff were so helpful and professional and any questions were responded to within 24 hours during the planning stages. Thank you so much to all of your team. Lisa & Michael 14-SEP-2025

Myself and my husband viewed a number of different venues and this one just stood out to us as the most beautiful, in a gorgeous location. Joanna was fabulous and always on hand for any questions. We decorated the barn to our taste and it looked stunning. Everything was perfect. Thank you.

We had our wedding here on 20/07/2024 and cannot put into words what an incredible venue Elms Barn is. We had the perfect day and Elms Barn played a big part in making it this way. Ruth was incredible from start to finish! She was so helpful to us throughout the planning process - always available to give tips, advice and guidance. Ruth is beyond approachable and friendly and never makes you feel like you are being a nuisance (even when it’s just back and forth about how much tequila rose to be stocked behind the bar). Despite all of the other weddings she had - Ruth was always quick to respond to emails. Ruth was only meant to stay until just after our wedding breakfast, as Sarah was actually our on the day coordinator; however, the reality was that she left hours after this and when asked why she was still there she just said “I’m having a really good time” - you can tell that this is not just a job for Ruth but a passion and something that she really enjoys and loves and it really does show. Sarah, our on the day co-ordinator, was amazing. We had a meeting with her the day before and it was clear that she’d already spent time coming to grips with our wedding, as she already knew most of the details and it was just the case of nailing down on the finer details. Even on the day Sarah was trying to make us have the best day / experience possible and as we arrived back from our ceremony, she was there ready with the suggestion of instead of having the alpacas we’d hired for entertainment being there for when guests arrived - for us to walk round leading them to our guests, which was a brilliant suggestion and worked amazingly. Sarah, Ruth and the team were on hand the whole day to help with whatever was needed - we brought flowers back from the church and the team were quick to find places for them all to go. As a picky drinker Elm Barn were great at accommodating what I would actually want to drink (fizzy drink addict here) and when we arrived back in the Bentley - Sarah had not just gotten us 2 glasses of pimm’s but a glass of fizzy for me too! Elms barn were always so accommodating and allowed us to do our wedding the way we wanted it. When we wanted to skip a starter and just have a main and trio of desserts - they allowed us to do this instead of their standard 3 course offerings! They were beyond helpful in finding alternatives for vegetarians / those with dietary restrictions. The food was incredible and we have had so many people praise it! Elms barn is a stunning venue, which was made even more stunning by their in house florists who made the venue look absolutely beautiful - a special thanks to Teena for helping bring our ideas together. Teena and her team did an absolutely fantastic job and we have had so many people comment on how amazing and beautiful the flowers were! Even Elms Barn’s bar staff go out of their way to make the day special. Once the bar had closed they joined us on the dance floor for the last few songs, which was a lovely touch! Elms Barn is a gorgeous venue with picturesque grounds, which were not only used by us for photos, but our guests also explored the beautiful grounds and took pictures too. We are so pleased we chose Elms Barn for our wedding day and couldn’t be happier with the wedding they helped create. Thanks again to each person at Elms Barn who played a part in our wedding - each and every one of you are appreciated and we cannot recommend Elms Barn more highly.

Milsom’s Kesgrave Hall created the most incredible wedding experience for us! From the moment we booked to the day itself we were made to feel special and completely looked after. They listened and took on board our preferences and were able to advise us brilliantly to create our perfect wedding! The star cloth felt magical and everyone commented on how amazing the food was! A day we will always remember so fondly and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for somewhere special for their big day.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at the Brome Grange. From the moment we stepped foot on the grounds and saw the venue we knew we had found the right place. The team exhibited exceptional attention to detail, immaculately decorating exactly as we had requested. The team were extremely attentive hosts and checked in on us regularly to make sure everything was OK. Anything we requested; they were more than happy to fulfil. The venue itself had the rustic charm that we had been looking for, and the bridal suite was a unique highlight that made our day even more memorable.

We planned our wedding party at the Sancroft Barns (which we’d had to postpone numerous times due to covid) from Bangkok without having visited the venue, which could have turned out to be a complete disaster! But our experience couldn’t have been further from it. The barn is beautifully restored in gorgeous rural Suffolk but the best thing about it is Jeremy, Rachel and their team. They couldn’t have been more helpful, flexible or accommodating right from the first enquiry I sent to them. They were completely unflappable on the day of the event when storm Anthony hit - we were camping in bell tents at the venue and they offered us their guest room inside the farmhouse to get ready, met our guests with umbrellas in the car park, had a basket of towels ready and really had everything covered too in terms of a wet weather plan. We really felt that they bought into the spirit of our party too and helped make it a brilliant afternoon and evening. I wholeheartedly recommend the venue, especially if you want to avoid the cookie cutter wedding venue conveyer belt - they are the opposite of this but still utterly reliable and professional. We’ll be forever grateful to them for hosting our wedding party and ensuring it was just as we wanted.

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!

Fantastic service from start to finish! Nothing is too much trouble for them. The grounds are absolutely stunning and are perfect for the wedding photos. Food was excellent and the room was perfect. I can’t recommend Henstead Pavilion highly enough!

We were married here in the Summer of 2022 and we honestly could have not wished for a better experience. From initial enquiry to our day Sarah was informative, helpful, excited and professional. The food was exceptional and the service provided from everyone was second to none, we got some absolutely stunning pictures overlooking Oulton Broad and checked into the beautiful Honeymoon Suite after our ceremony. Spending your first morning as a married couple and waking up the the breath-taking view is certainly a moment to cherish. I cannot recommend this venue and Sarah enough.

From our first meeting with Charlie at the George and Dragon hotel, we knew we had found our venue. Charlie was so accomodating and worked with our budget to provide us with the most spectacular day, nothing was too much trouble. We met several times to go over details and ensure everything was perfect for the day. We had a giant menu to select from, selecting three options of starters, Mains and desserts, this then allowed our guests to pick what they'd like. Charlie and team also accommodated for children wonderfully. The room we married in was transformed into such a beautiful room (see photos!) And the gardens allowed for wonderful photography. We had the best day and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. Thank you! Mr & Mrs Nethercott
