Applewood Hall Full Description
Situated in the quaint village of Banham, one of Norfolk’s best-kept secrets Applewood Hall offers an undeniably unique wedding venue for your special day. Once the grounds of Grove Farm orchard, Applewood Hall served as the apple store during harvest season. Now an elegantly decorated entertaining space, it offers a licensed bar, dance floor, stage and seating for up to 200 guests. Applewood Hall is a harmonious combination of rustic charm and contemporary style. Accommodation is available onsite with 6 cosy Glamping Pods and 5 luxury en-suite Shepherd's Cabins providing the perfect retreat after a long night on the dancefloor. Spacious camping pitches with electric hook-up are also offered allowing you and your guests to retire to your very own patch of the countryside. And if that wasn’t enough, Applewood Hall is located next to Banham Zoological Gardens, Norfolk's award-winning family attraction, so if you fancy something a little bit different whether it’s a giraffe feeding experience, a ceremony within the zoo grounds or photos with some of the stunning animals – anything is possible!

We would re-live our day over and over if we could

We had the most perfect wedding day at Applewood Hall. Chloe, our coordinator was an absolute star & made sure the whole day ran perfectly. The venue is beautiful, food is 5*, and the dj/music was just what we wanted. We would re-live our day over and over if we could. If you’re considering Applewood Hall then definitely go and take a look!

A beautiful venue with everything in one place

The team at Applewood Hall made mine and my now-wife's day amazing, from Dawn's catering to Chloe's organising it was fantastic. A lot of the weight of planning was taken off our shoulders and they went the extra mile to ensure we had a great day. If you're getting married and want a beautiful venue with everything in one place, Applewood Hall is the best place to go.

Everything we could have wanted!

We got married here in July! We viewed the venue and had a chat with Kiera and started proceedings straight away as the venue was everything we could have wanted. The planning and communication between Kiera and everyone in the team was great. The outdoor space was perfect and rooms are big and beautifully decorated. The venue has so much included that it took so much stress out of planning. Everything was organised to every detail and we're so grateful we decided to get married here.

We picked the right venue 100%

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day or for things to run any smoother than they did at Applewood Hall. Kiera was amazing the whole way through our planning, always made us feel like our wedding was important to her and was always quick to communicate with us. The whole team at Applewood Hallare friendly and welcoming, 1 month later we are still receiving compliments from our guests about how wonderful the day was. We picked the right venue 100%, so glad we went there for our wedding!

We just had the most fun!

Myself and my new husband had the absolute best day of our lives! Applewood Hall was the best choice for our wedding day. It's perfect, it provides the venue for ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening party all in one building! They made the building look gorgeous with its marquee type look and gorgeous white fabric draping. The garden is absolutely stunning for beautiful outside photos and drinks and canapés. The organization of the day was amazing and we just had the most fun!

Describe the best wedding that happened at Applewood Hall?

We honestly couldn't pick! We have had so many great weddings here.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

It's YOUR day, so don't be afraid to be a bit selfish when it comes to things like your menu choices, drink selection and seating plans. Prefer to have canapés during your drinks reception rather than a starter, why not! If you want a big, gooey chocolate dessert, go for it! If you'd prefer to have a classic G&T rather than bubbles for the toast, do it! If you want the seating to be more informal with no seating plan, be bold! These small things will help your day feel special and unique to you.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

We had a lovely couple this year that had the brilliant idea of a personalised festival band to tie the napkin on each place setting, which they encouraged everyone to wear on their wrist once they'd sat down. It made everyone feel apart of their day and really worked with their outdoorsy, festival-chic vibe.

Describe Applewood Hall in 5 adjectives

Contemporary, rustic charm, friendly, flexible, glamping!

Where’s the best photo spot at Applewood Hall?

Our new wedding garden! This beautifully landscaped space features a custom-built gazebo, contemporary outdoor furniture, lots of lush greenery and cottage garden flowers, grasses and herbs inspired by the British countryside. The perfect backdrop for wedding photos and alfresco arrival drinks in the sunshine!

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Applewood Hall?

No, but we were a featured venue on 'Don't tell the Bride!'

What is Applewood Hall most unique feature?

Applewood Hall is located right next to Banham Zoo, so if you fancied something a little bit different whether it’s a giraffe feeding experience, a ceremony within the zoo grounds or photos with some of the stunning animals – anything is possible!

What part of your business are you most proud of?

We love being a blank canvas venue so our couples can personalise the hall to whatever theme or colour scheme they want to incorporate into their special day
