The Tudor Barn Belstead is surrounded by seven acres of landscaped informal wooded grounds, so providing a beautiful backdrop for your wedding or enough space to set up marquees if you want to host more people. There is also space for outdoor games, fire pits, firework displays and anything else you can think of! We are happy to help you create the wedding that you already have in your mind or provide inspiration if necessary.
It’s hard to pick just one, but a recent favourite featured undercover singers disguised as waiting staff who burst into song mid-meal – the guests were stunned and the atmosphere was electric! Moments like that remind us how creative and joyful weddings can be.
Trust your suppliers and don’t try to do everything yourself – choose a team you click with and let them take the pressure off. The day goes so quickly, so focus on being present and enjoying every moment.
One couple created a ‘family tree’ photo display, hanging framed pictures of generations of weddings from both sides of their families in the barn. It was such a beautiful tribute and a powerful reminder of love through the ages.
Charming, relaxed, rustic, romantic, welcoming.
The meadow to the west of the barn is a photographer’s dream – especially at golden hour. With wild grasses, soft light and those sweeping Suffolk skies, it creates the most romantic, natural backdrop for unforgettable shots.
We’ve had a few familiar faces pass through, but we’re sworn to secrecy! Let’s just say, Suffolk is full of surprises...
You can’t beat a mini Yorkshire pudding with rare roast beef and horseradish – it’s a classic for a reason.
A sizzling late-night Pad Thai always goes down a treat – comforting, full of flavour, and a great crowd-pleaser after a big dance session! We love that it’s easy to offer veggie and vegan options too, so everyone’s included.
Our 16th-century timber-framed barn, lovingly restored by our family. It has such warmth and character – you can feel the history in every beam.
That we built it together, as a family. I was closely involved in the project from start to finish and took on a lot of the work myself, but it was very much a team effort. It’s incredibly special to see the space now filled with love, laughter, and memories being made.
