Best weekend of our lives

The best weekend of our lives! We just had our 3 day wedding weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. From a 2 year planning period, the events ladies (Ruth, Ellie, Kate) were a dream to work with. No questions were a hassle and we would always get a quick response. On the day they were amazing, they made everything run so smoothly. The grounds of bruisyard are breathtaking, you can tell how much love and effort goes into the upkeep. The house was immaculate too! The big winner for us was the food, it was insane! From the grazing board we had the night before, the main wedding meal and the Sunday BBQ. We couldn’t fault anything, the quality and generous quantity was perfect for our big group of 30 friends and family. We wish we could do it all again! Thank you Bruisyard, you’ll hold a special place in our hearts forever.

Stunning wedding venue for a weekend wedding!

The Bruisyard Country Estate is such a stunning venue that was so perfect for our weekend wedding. From our initial viewing the Bruisyard team were so professional, attentive and catered for our every request, paying great attention to detail to make our day fantastic. We hired both the large house on site & the barn for the wedding day itself. The house was truly something special and a great place for our closest family & friends to stay for the weekend. The catering was delicious and had great reviews from our guests. We can’t recommend enough a wedding at Bruisyard Estate, it truly was amazing!

Thank you, Bruisyard - you were perfect.

As soon as we got engaged, we started discussing our vision for our wedding day: timeless, relaxed, beautiful, and fun. Now that the dust has settled post-wedding, we can wholeheartedly say that we made the right choice in Bruisyard. It would be difficult to beat the beauty of the venue, but moreover the team genuinely cared about helping us to achieve our vision, and couldn't have been nicer throughout or easier to deal with. Thank you, Bruisyard - you were perfect.

Thanks Bruisyard. We had a truly wonderful day!

We visited Bruisyard Hall and Barn after a recommendation from my sister-in-law and as soon as we visited the venue, we knew that it was going to be a special place to hold our wedding. The wedding day was perfect from start to finish. Ruth and Ellie were on hand to help with anything we needed, but in truth everything was so well organised that there weren’t any issues and everything ran very smoothly.

10/10 would recommend to anyone!

We first saw Bruisyard Country Estate on a drizzly grey Saturday and we knew straight away that we had to get married here, come rain or shine! The weekend itself was nothing short of sensational. From the perfectly presented house for our friends and family to stay and sink in the atmosphere, to the on-hand support to set up the day prior and smooth sailing on the big day. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for the most beautiful and memorable celebration. Huge thank you to the team!

The most incredible magical venue!

We booked our wedding at Bruisyard Estate and we cannot recommend it enough! You absolutely must book Bruisyard you will not be disappointed, it was the last venue on our list of places to see and we’re so glad we viewed it, once we saw the place we fell in love and just knew it was the one! Everything was perfect, the hall, the barn, the staff, the food & drinks all of it, we had the most magical day & so glad we chose Bruisyard as our wedding venue. Would highly recommend! ❤️

Wedding Venue straight out of our dreams

The most amazing venue for our wedding! The grounds, the barn and the Hall are stunning. We felt like country royalty for the weekend. The staff at Bruisyard are superb, Ruth, Ellie, David and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make our day as tailored to us as possible. The big day itself run like clockwork. We can't think of any complaints or suggestions for improvement. We hope to 1 day attend as guests just so we can revisit.

Beautiful Location

Bruisyard Country Estate was a beautiful location with amazing surrounding gardens. We had a small private wedding with 23 guests all stayed within the superb manor house and our ceremony was also held within the house. So many photo opportunity spots within the grounds. All our guests commented on how wonderful the site and ameneties were which made it a unique wedding with all guests staying for 3 nights. The staff were friendly and so helpful and the food for the wedding breakfast was so nice and nothing was too much trouble to accommodate. We didnt use the barn so I cant comment on this, but we did have our taster appointment in the barn and it looked very pretty. Our guests have even talked about booking for their vowel renewal, instead of going back to where they had their own wedding. I can honestly say is hard to beat Bruisyard Country Manor and their staff for a small private family and friends wedding and holiday. 11 out of 10.

We cannot thank everyone enough!

After looking at many Suffolk wedding venues Bruisyard Country Estate was our clear favourite from the outset. As our wedding fell during the Covid-19 pandemic we had the pleasure of working closely with Gareth, Katie and the team at Bruisyard for longer than many other couples. Their care, organisation and support was exemplary and we cannot thank them enough. They took our endless questions in their stride and nothing was too much trouble. The day itself was perfect!

There was never anywhere else!

From booking through to the day itself, the Bruisyard team were absolutely seamless. Even through postponement, we could not fault them. Gareth emailed and called to check in and just chat through the lockdowns, and Katie felt more like a friend by the time the actual day rolled around. We felt listened to, but more than that, like our day mattered. As we trusted the Bruisyard team explicitly, I didn't worry about a single thing on the day. Thank you to the team from the bottom of our hearts!
