The Bell Hotel is a beautiful hotel and wedding venue located in Saxmundham, Suffolk. Situated right in the heart of coastal Suffolk, this stunning setting offers five-star services and romantic spaces for your one-of-a-kind wedding celebration.

Facilities and Capacity

Since Georgian times, this historic hotel has welcomed guests for rejuvenating stays, even playing host to King George II in the 18th century. Before your special day, your loved ones can stay and explore the wonderful surroundings of the Suffolk coast. The Bell Hotel holds a wedding license, meaning that you're able to host a ceremony on-site. After you've said, "I do," you can make your way to the chic reception space for an intimate gathering with your nearest and dearest. An outdoor terrace is available in warmer weather, which is a lovely space for aperitifs and socialising.

Services Offered

The all-inclusive wedding package at The Bell Hotel is ideal for wedding celebrations with up to 26 guests. This includes a prosecco reception with canapés before your meal, a three-course wedding breakfast on the big day, and wine for your guests. You'll work with a personal event manager, who aims to ensure that all of your needs are met as you tie the knot. If you prefer a buffet-style meal, the catering team at The Bell Hotel can prepare delicious cuisine for up to 50 loved ones. Exclusive use of the venue is available for an additional fee, and you're welcome to hire an outside caterer if you'd like to host a larger celebration at the Market Hall, located next door.
