- AAnita & Chris22/10/2025Delightful experience that made all the differenceDelightful experience that made all the differenceFrom the moment we met Christina and had the tour of Dragon Hall, we were sold on this being the venue for our wedding. It is a very special venue; from the magical hall itself to the Foyle gallery and undercroft, with a lot of space to use for various parts of the day, no matter who your guests are and what they like to do! We had a lot of comments about how great the space was and it really worked for a group of our size (80). Christina was a wonderful event manager - communicative, loads of great suggestions and took everything in her stride. I can't thank her and the staff at Dragon Hall enough for how she contributed to a wonderful day for us.From the moment we met Christina and had the tour of Dragon Hall, we were sold on this being the venue for our wedding.

She brought calm presence on a stressful day that just made us feel more relaxed but confident she and the team had everything under control. We could not recommend Dragon Hall enough to engaged couples! Dragon Hall was an amazing venue to have our wedding. It is beautiful, lots of history and an incredible team.

They all went above and beyond in accommodating and looking after everyone - we cannot overstate how much the thoughtfulness and kindness from all the team. All of our guests have not stopped raving about both the venue and also about every member of staff who helped out at Dragon Hall to say how helpful and considerate everyone was, ensuring that the day ran as smoothly as it did. We have received multiple comments from guests who have said that Christina is the best wedding coordinator they have seen and we would have to agree!

- NNat21/06/2025Brilliant Wedding Experience!Brilliant Wedding Experience!What a unique and beautiful space! The weather let us down on the big day, but that was more than ok with such a gorgeous venue. The hall space upstairs is so full of natural light and charm. The downstairs has a lovely space for a dance floor and socialising. When the weather permitted the gardens are wonderful place to catch up with family. Christina the events manager was incredibly helpful. She was flexible, knowledgeable about the venue and organised during the day. The venue is also really conveniently located next to transport so it was really easy for all our guest to attend. As well as being set amongst the picturesque lanes of Norwich. It was a huge plus that for weddings you have to book the venue for 3 days so the day before you set up and then there was no need to rush to tidy up the night of the wedding. Dragon hall provides a great package for weddings and was just an all-round stunning venue. What a unique and beautiful space!

- JJade & James12/09/2024Thank you Dragon Hall!Thank you Dragon Hall!Thank you to the entire team at Dragon Hall for making our wedding day so special. We couldn’t have planned a better day (and the weather was magical as well). The organisation and support from Christina and the wider team not just on our wedding day, but in the lead-up to our wedding was first class and ultimately meant we were able to fully embrace and enjoy our wedding experience. The feedback we had from our guests on the venue was incredible and it seemed everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did.

- BBree14/08/2024Our perfect day!Our perfect day!We are so pleased we had our wedding at Dragon Hall! The venue was just perfect for us. Such a beautiful building, full of character and charm. A real hidden gem, it was a privilege to get married in such a historic building. The great hall provided a magical space for our ceremony and dinner. And downstairs worked perfectly for drinks and dancing the night away! The courtyard provided a nice outdoor area and the glass wall made it feel like one big space downstairs. All of the team at Dragon Hall were really helpful in the run up to the wedding and on in the day itself. They were excellent. We were given a range of different caterers to choose from - we ended up going with Gingerlily who were also excellent.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
We hosted a fantastic LARPer wedding, where all the guests dressed up in medieval garb. It was incredibly unique and perfectly suited to the character of our wonderful 15th Century building.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
I recommend that the bride and groom separately make a list of priorities for their wedding, and then compare notes. That way you will know what aspects of the wedding are the most important to one another and you can focus on those when planning your special day.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
As the National Centre for Writing by day, we love a book! One couple asked guests to bring a book to swap instead of a gift, which resulted in some lovely literary chats amongst guests. Another couple kindly chose a book for each guest as a wedding favour, accompanied by a personalised bookmark
