Looking for a wedding venue that has it all – incredible grounds, luxury accommodation, a stunning backdrop, a choice of spaces for your ceremony and reception and on-site caterers for every stage of your celebrations? Well, you can call off the search, because Bruisyard Country Estate, near the Suffolk Coast, has all of the above and then some.

Forget about compromising on any of your wedding day wish list because at Bruisyard Country Estate you can sweep down the long drive and not leave the 700 acres of grounds and all the amazing spaces for the duration of your wedding. And, we’re not just talking about one day here. This historic hall and all its outbuildings and gardens, including the Byre, gorgeous newly renovated farmhouse style accommodation, can be exclusively yours midweek or over the weekend for up to three days, so you get to lap up the luxury and spend quality time with family and friends before and after your “I dos” too.

If you like options, you’ll love it here. There’s the 700-year-old hall with its charming, high-end and luxurious interiors with space for intimate weddings of up to 28 guests in the Entrance Hall or Drawing Room. The hall and the Byre combined have room for 30 to stay overnight, so the party doesn’t have to end when the last dance music fades out.

If your guest list is on the larger size, then there’s the beautifully restored 17th century vaulted barn that can seat up to 140 and has a Banqueting Hall, Medieval Hall, and Minstrels Gallery plus two further ensuite bedrooms. With large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy all the atmosphere of an historic beamed setting, but with lots of natural light flooding in too. Planning on inviting the world and his wife? A marquee on the lawn, with the hall as the backdrop, would make for a standout setting.

In warmer months there’s even more choice, with the chance to hold your ceremony or drinks reception outdoors in the sublime flower-filled walled garden. Whatever the season though, you’ll want to make the most of the 700 acres including a lake, meadows, woodland and manicured flower beds and lawns for some truly wonderful wedding pictures.

HOLIDAYS AT THE HALL

Not got a wedding to plan? Don’t worry, Bruisyard Country Estate isn’t just for engaged couples. Anyone can hire the hall, and/or the Byre and its grounds for a celebration or a group gathering and soak up the stunning countryside setting, five-star service and accommodation fit for a king. It might be big, but the owners have nailed that home-from-home vibe perfectly (with a 5* Gold Award from Visit England to prove it), so you can really relax here with up to 30 friends and family (and even the dog!).

And, if it’s a VIP experience you seek, you don’t have to lift a finger while you’re here with the option to have your own private chef cook up a feast for you using the best local produce.
