GOSFIELD HALL 01787 472 914 | www.gosfield-hall.co.uk A former royal palace, Gosfield Hall exudes charm as you walk through its historic rooms, boasting ornate details and period features. Each space offers something unique, be it oak-panelled walls, extravagant ceilings or cosy furnishings. During the colder months, the stunning Georgian mansion transforms into a winter haven, with roaring log fire, delicious menu offering seasonal highlights, and a selection of drinks to warm guests, including hot chocolate and winter Pimm’s. Furthermore, the sizeable venue means there’s more than enough space in its grand reception rooms for the wedding party to celebrate indoors, when the weather turns outside. Marry your soulmate in the Queen Charlotte’s Gallery (116 capacity), making a real entrance with its 120-foot-long aisle. Alternatively, say ‘I do’ in The Grand Salon (84 capacity), all the while taking in its handpainted ceiling and double-height sash windows. Receptions are then held in The Marquis of Buckingham’s former-Ballroom for up to 116, a stunning setting for fine dining, with its giant crystal chandeliers and huge double-height mirrors. You can then party the night away with additional guests for your evening reception with up to 250 friends and family. HEDINGHAM CASTLE 01787 460261 | www.hedinghamcastle.co.uk The history of Hedingham spans almost a millennium, with the Castle being just shy of 900 years old. The romantic and candlelit Banqueting Hall, where ceremonies take place, is one of the finest examples of Norman interiors in existence, and boasts the largest Norman arch in England at 20 feet high. However, the venue really comes into its own during the colder months, with the original Tudor Bridge a perfect spot for winter shots, leading down to the handsome 18th century, brick Mansion House – with incredible views over the lake. Your ceremony for up to 130 takes place in the Banqueting Hall, with its breathtaking atmosphere and impressive double height arch. The space can be lit with candles, while two grand chandeliers give the room a truly romantic feel. Your wedding breakfast is then hosted in the elegant Ballroom Marquee (150 guests), a permanent structure adjoining the Mansion House. Or, for smaller celebrations, you can hold your entire day in the Castle, dining for up to 70 in the Tapestry Room and then continuing the party on the floor above with drinks and dancing. www.lewiscabuche.com www.lavenhamphotographic.co.uk www.lewiscabuche.com 26
