Imagine the wedding day of your dreams, an idyllic venue in Newmarket, superb cuisine and sensational service. Our elegant white stucco building, parts of which date back to the 17th century, and stunning rose gardens provide a romantic backdrop for your wedding photographs and create the perfect environment in which to enjoy canapes and a glass of champagne with your guests.
The recently refurbished and upgraded Classics Suite offers the perfect wedding venue - based in Newmarket, Suffolk we are conveniently close to Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds and even London is just an hour away. We are fully licensed for civil ceremonies, so you can choose to have this as well as your reception at the hotel. Our three self-contained banqueting suites can accommodate an intimate wedding of 10, to a more lavish celebration with up to 150 day time guests.

The staff were all very professional and a special mention to Kieran and Andrew who made sure everything ran so smoothly. They was always there to assist but never in our faces. The day ran like clock work, due to all the work by the staff going on behind the scenes. We were made to feel special from the day we booked the venue until we checked out after the wedding. We would not hesitate in recommending the venue and I am sure we will be back celebrating anniversaries in the future.Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, we wouldn't have changed anything.
