The best day ever

Working with Godwick was a dream. It had such a beautiful atmosphere. We knew as soon as we stepped into the building it was where we wanted to get married. Everyone that works there is just wonderful. Always happy to chat, help and they did everything with a smile on their face. We felt genuinely invested in and that made the whole experience fun instead of stressful. We're so thankful!

A truly magical place

Godwick is a beautiful venue off the beaten track, nestled in the Norfolk countryside. It truly feels like a magical place. Every staff member went above and beyond to make it special. We'd like to give a shout out to Hannah in particular, who guided us through and picked up the fine details without us even having to ask!

Amazing venue and accommodation with an amazing team

Amazing venue which was easily personalised to our tastes. The team really went out of their way to make the experience extra special with small gestures along the way. We would very happily recommend to friends and family!

Just the two of us and the dogs - a magical day!

Godwick Hall is a gorgeous place, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the venue and the team. Our elopement wedding in May 2024 was better than we could have ever imagined - a beautiful venue with the most lovely people who were genuinely invested in making our day as magical as it could possibly be. The response from James to our initial enquiry was prompt and helpful. The elopement package included accommodation in a shepherd's hut, which looked lovely, but wasn't suitable for our two dogs, Maisy & Raffy. There was no issue with upgrading to the Old Stables, which was an absolutely beautiful, spacious, calming place to stay, and to get ready on our wedding day. Once we had the wedding date & time booked, the wonderful Debbie-Lee arranged calls to talk us through how our day would work, things we might want to consider and options for local suppliers; and then kept in touch to see how we were doing and to make sure that everything was covered as the day got nearer. Super dog-friendly, Debbie-Lee took us to look round the Hall when we arrived the day before, so it wasn't new to the dogs (or us) on the day; then she and Jenni acted as combined witnesses / dog carers / dog treat providers, as needed, before, during and after the ceremony on the day itself. And, for the ceremony, Debbie-Lee sorted playing the music we'd chosen and did our reading too. An unexpected tear or two and being 'chauffeured' on the tractor to the ruins of the medieval Godwick church by James all added to making an incredible, uniquely memorable day that exceeded all expectations, and truly surprised us with just how good it was. Thank you to all at Godwick Hall for making our day and our stay so very special!

The best day ever

Choosing Godwick as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made. We loved absolutely everything about the barn and the accommodation. Hannah provided us with such valuable support and really went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly both in the lead up to the wedding and on the day. She was a pleasure to work with and made us feel confident that our day would be a success. It was such a highlight to be able to have our families and closest friends be able to stay at the venue with a particular highlight being the bridal party being able to use the Stables to get ready on the day and be able to fully debrief with everyone on the Sunday! The Great Barn was a magical venue and totally exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to the entire team at Godwick for enabling us to have such an incredible wedding day!

A lovely experience

We highly recommend the elopement wedding. It was a wonderful experience. We also can’t thank Hannah enough for helping us locate one of the rings in the grass with a metal detector when it was dropped. She was a life saver! Thank you to all the team, what a wonderful bunch of people.

The Perfect Wedding @ Godwick

Me and my partner booked Godwick after a chance visit in January 2023. The location and venue were gorgeous, the staff were so welcoming and kind, we were sold very quickly. Once we'd booked, the team were excellent at communicating with us throughout the process, making sure we were prepared, comfortable and fully in control before the big day. In the run up to our wedding weekend, we had regular calls with Jenni, who helped to structure our day properly and get everything arranged. Our on the day manager, Debbie-Lee was an absolute star - so personal, attentive and always looking for that one extra thing to make me and my partner feel special. We thank the whole Godwick team for their fantastic service and beautiful venue, but Debbie-Lee really wowed us all, so particular shout-out to her! We also had the privilege to stay at the on-site accommodation for the entire weekend of our wedding alongside our family - we adored it - beautiful vistas, fun games nights and amazing memories throughout the weekend. I cannot recommend this venue and wonderful team enough! Thank you Godwick!

The most perfect wedding at Godwick

Loved everything about our wedding, from start to finish. We decided to have a very small elopement, just us and our two small children. It was very sweet and intimate. The ceremony room itself was beautiful and felt so romantic. We hired a tractor and went to the barn with the ruins in the distance. A really wet rainy day but that didn’t matter at all- it actually made it quite funny. The children led the way really and it was perfect it being relaxed and going with the flow. The staff at the venue were so attentive and made sure it was the most special day for us, and it really was.

Actually perfect

Honestly one of the best days ever. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to Debbie-Lee, our wedding planner who truly went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy. The venue itself is beautiful and cosy, perfect for our winter elopement! No notes!!

Describe the best wedding that happened at Godwick?

Mine! No but seriously we have had loads of amazing weddings at Godwick, but how could I not say my own. We really did have an amazing autumn wedding in October 2015. We wanted to have a big old fashioned knees up, with a relaxed and informal atmosphere. I had some large rustic trestle tables made and these provided a fabulous communal banquet with large sharing platters and copious amounts of wine. We had great live music throughout the day, a wonderful ceremony, a big banquet dinner and then loads of dancing to a fabulous band, all set in my own wedding venue with all my family friends, what more could you want.

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

I'm a big believer in working out what your theme is and how you want your day to feel, what will the vibe be like? For us, we spent a long time figuring out our theme, which was based around a strong autumnal colour pallette, and a rustic, country feel with lots of tweeds and textures. We combined these with our desire to create a relaxed and informal event and ensured that our theme ran through the whole event from the stationary we had designed to the clothes we wore, to the styling of the venue and even the menu itself. I think this really helps an event hang together and the guests get a real sense of what your wedding is about. Of course, you need to choose a great venue, and one like Godwick that is flexible and customisable!!

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

We have had some wonderful, creative and stunning wedding arches for outside ceremonies, I love these.

Describe Godwick in 5 adjectives

Quirky, awesome, rustic, majestic, flexible

Where’s the best photo spot at Godwick?

The ruins of Godwick All Saints provide an amazing back drop to any wedding photography.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Godwick?

Yes we have had a few well known faces as guests, including Ireland rugby captain Rory Best. BBC London weather girl and presenter Wendy Hurrell also got married at Godwick and we have a super famous social media star getting hitched with us but as always we would never reveal their name, unless we have their permission of course!

What’s your favourite canapé?

I can't think of a canape I don't like, but it's hard to pass by any type of roasted grape adn goats cheese crostini... It is really suprising how good these are.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Toasted marshmallows on a roaring Godwick firepit of course

What is Godwick most unique feature?

We have a few unique features, but I guess our own vintage tractor, which acts as bridal transport from Godwick Hall to the Great Barn and takes couples to the ruins for photos is pretty unique. The venue itself is one of a kind and we love it for that.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

My team are an amazingly hard working bunch who are as passionate about Godwick as I am!
