Lanwades Hall

The best weddings at our venue are those where we can fully embrace the couple's vision and make their dreams come to life. We pride ourselves on being as flexible as possible to accommodate each couple's unique preferences and needs, ensuring their wedding day is truly personal and memorable. We've had the pleasure of hosting a diverse array of celebrations, from elegant and traditional affairs to more unconventional and fun-filled events. For example, we once had a wedding that featured both a carousel and a rodeo bull, adding a delightful and playful touch to the festivities. It’s these creative and individualised touches that make each wedding special and showcase the versatility of our venue in creating the perfect backdrop for any celebration.

My number one wedding planning tip for couples is to always remember that this day is about you and your partner, not anyone else. It's easy to get caught up in trying to please everyone and adhere to external expectations, but the most important thing is to focus on what truly matters to you both. This is your special day, a celebration of your love and commitment, so prioritize the elements that reflect your personalities and desires. By staying true to yourselves and making decisions that resonate with your vision, you'll create a wedding day that is not only unforgettable but also uniquely yours.

My favorite personal touch at a wedding is when couples truly make the celebration their own by incorporating bespoke elements that reflect their unique story. One standout example is custom wedding favors that hold special meaning for the couple. For instance, potted plants are an adorable and thoughtful idea, offering guests a lasting memento that grows and thrives, much like the couple’s own relationship. These personalised touches not only enhance the overall experience but also create meaningful connections between the couple and their guests, making the wedding day even more memorable.

Stunning, Elegant, Timeless, Intimate, Personal...

We have countless beautiful photo spots at our venue, each offering its own unique charm. However, if we had to choose just one, it would be the Sunken Garden. This picturesque location provides a stunning backdrop with the elegant House in the distance. The lush greenery and serene atmosphere of the garden, combined with the grandeur of the House, create a truly magical setting for capturing unforgettable moments. The natural light and scenic beauty make it an ideal spot for photos that perfectly encapsulate the beauty and elegance of your special day.

Lanwades Hall boasts a rich history, including connections to royalty both past and present. One of our most notable guests was Edward VII, who stayed at the Hall during his visits to the famous Newmarket races. This royal connection adds a touch of grandeur and prestige to the venue, allowing couples to feel part of its storied legacy. While we cherish these historical ties, the Hall continues to be a distinguished choice for many modern-day celebrations, making it a venue that seamlessly blends its royal heritage with contemporary elegance.

Our favorite canapé is a delicious sweet potato frittata

Our Favourite midnight treat has to be the cheese board! There's something irresistibly satisfying about indulging in a variety of rich, flavorful cheeses late into the night. Whether it's a creamy brie, a sharp cheddar, or a tangy blue, the mix of textures and tastes is the perfect way to end the evening. Paired with some fresh bread, crackers, and maybe a little fruit or chutney, it's a comforting and decadent treat that keeps me coming back for more. It’s the ultimate indulgence after a long day of celebrating.

Our most unique feature is The Sunken Garden! This stunning hidden gem offers a magical setting for outdoor ceremonies, creating an intimate and picturesque atmosphere surrounded by natural beauty. Whether you're envisioning a sun-soaked summer wedding or a cozy winter celebration, our venue provides the best of both worlds. The garden offers the ideal backdrop for spring and summer nuptials, while our roaring fireplaces create a warm and inviting ambiance for winter weddings, ensuring your day is unforgettable no matter the season.

We are most proud of our breathtaking Wedding Suite, which consistently delivers that unforgettable 'WOW' factor. It’s so special that we save it for the grand finale on our showrounds. The suite perfectly embodies the charm of Lanwades Hall, blending the elegance and sophistication of its original Edwardian architecture with modern touches and conveniences. Beyond that, we pride ourselves on creating a 'home away from home' experience, where couples and their guests feel comfortable and cared for. This unique combination of timeless beauty, contemporary style, and warm hospitality ensures a truly exceptional and welcoming atmosphere for every wedding.
