Unique and Unusual Wedding Venues in East – England

We had an amazing experience with this wedding venue – it truly had everything we wanted for our special day. One of the things we loved most was how flexible it was; we were able to tailor our day exactly how we wanted while still staying within our budget, which made the whole planning process so much less stressful. A special mention has to go to Holly, the wedding coordinator. She was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and supported us every step of the way. We honestly can’t speak highly enough of her. On the day itself, she was calm, organised, and incredibly reassuring – even stepping in to cut our cake when one of our groomsmen started making a bit of a mess of it! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team and would highly recommend it to anyone planning their wedding.

Where do we begin to talk about our wedding at the Canary Shed, it was the most magical, unforgettable and completely unique weekend of our life. I’ll say a weekend and not a day, as the moment you arrive at the Canary Shed on the Friday evening the celebrations begin. From being able to have complete creative control of the decoration of the shed, which is already such a bright and special place, to having all of your nearest and dearest staying with you on sight for the weekend! It truly was the best weekend of our lives. Jade and Paige really were incredible, from the moment we booked the venue back in 2022, there were regular check ins and genuinely nothing was too much of an ask. Jade is the wedding planner you’ve always dreamed of and made the weekend run so flawlessly, from setting up the ceremony space on the morning to fixing our damaged cake with disco balls, she’s amazing!! We’re based in the midlands, but chose the canary shed because they were dog friendly and let’s face it, you’ve never seen a venue like it! We had so many comments on how incredible the venue and the day was. It’s so great that you can completely tailor the day to you, bringing in your own caterers, crockery, and having full creative control. We wanted a relaxed alternative vibe and the canary shed was the perfect fit. We honestly would do it all over again and I can’t thank the canary shed team enough for giving us the most special weekend wedding celebration of our life. It was perfect in every single way and I genuinely have struggled to put into words what an incredible time we had. We made memories to last a life time and we can’t wait to come back and stay at the shed to reminisce on them. 5 stars wouldn’t be enough!! Lots of love, Amy & Ollie xxx

I recently attended an event at Lakeview Marquee and honestly it’s such a lovely place. The first thing you notice is how peaceful the setting is with the lake right next to the venue. It makes the whole atmosphere feel really relaxed and special, especially in the evening when the lights are on. The marquee itself is spacious and nicely set up, so it never felt crowded even with a lot of guests. Everything looked clean and well organised, and you can tell that the people running the venue care about keeping it nice. The outdoor space is also great because guests can step outside, enjoy the view of the water, and get some fresh air. What I liked most was the overall feeling of the place. It’s simple but beautiful, and it made the event feel more personal and memorable. If you’re looking for a venue with a nice view and a calm atmosphere, Lakeview Marquee is definitely worth considering.

Our wedding day at Woodhall Manor was truly magical from start to finish. The venue itself is absolutely stunning — full of charm, romance, and a wonderfully intimate atmosphere that made our day feel so special. We loved how the different rooms were used throughout the day — from our ceremony to the reception drinks, wedding breakfast, and finally the evening disco. It meant we got to experience and enjoy the very best of the manor, with each space offering its own unique character and charm. The staff were incredible throughout the whole process, especially our coordinator Georgia. Nothing was too much trouble and I truly believe her organisation, kindness and passion lead to this being a perfect day . All of the team made everything feel effortless, taking care of every detail so we could simply enjoy the moment. Their professionalism and warmth really stood out and made us feel completely at ease. The food and drinks were perfect — beautifully presented, delicious, and enjoyed by all our guests. Every part of the day ran so smoothly, and it genuinely felt like the team went above and beyond to give us our perfect day. We can’t thank Woodhall Manor enough for making our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly romantic and unforgettable venue!

OMG do not hesitate book today ! Right from the word go at our initial meeting with Lee and Esme we knew we would be in safe hands and Shortmead would be the venue for our special day. The team are so professional and accommodated our every request, we had a large Italian wedding and nothing was a problem. The grounds are spectacular and our guests felt like they had been transported abroad on one of the hottest days of the year. We are so glad we booked our reception here and everything went smoothly. There really is no comparison to anywhere in Bedfordshire (and beyond !) and was the perfect choice. Keep up the great work and thank you a million times over. xxx

We approached the KO in Oct 24 for an April 25 Wedding. we met with Paula , and from that point on they were nothing but amazing! The venue is just beautiful , and needs little vision (I was a Bride who didn't have much !!) The following 6 months everything just ran smoothly. They were constantly in contact , and they have lots of recommendations with regards DJ's , sax's etc. Food choices were all great , and everything was super easy to del with and pay . Paula and the team , Toni etc were all amazing !!!!

Voewood is truly a one-of-a-kind venue and the perfect setting for our wedding day. From the very beginning, the entire team were incredibly helpful and supportive, making the whole process feel effortless and enjoyable. Mel and Sarah were an absolute delight to work with in the run-up to the wedding. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring presence made such a difference. On the day itself, they ensured everything ran smoothly and seamlessly, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue or a more dedicated team. Voewood will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

Stunning location great boat ride in! Love every second of our big day! Team were wonderful and the day was perfect!
