BUTLEY PRIORY, WOODBRIDGE 01394 450 046 | www.butleypriory.co.uk When it comes to enchanting wedding locations, this fairytale venue is hard to beat. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the Suffolk coast, it’s a hidden gem surrounded by woodland and forest. Formerly the gatehouse to an Augustinian monastery, the Grade I listed 13th-century priory oozes character and charm. You can marry here and take your pick of great backdrops to make your wedding stand out from the crowd. Tie the knot in the Great Hall, with its high vaulted ceilings, and toast your new married status with drinks and canapés in the drawing room or garden, while the hall is transformed for the wedding breakfast. With room for up to 80 guests sat at long tables you can dine in style with a menu tailored to suit you. For larger weddings, a marquee on the front lawn can be arranged for your whole post-vows celebrations. The south-facing garden has recently been replanted and offers a wealth of opportunities for album-worthy photos while your family and friends enjoy Pimms and croquet on the lawn. The Priory has recently been refurbished and also offers luxury accommodation including a romantic wedding suite. We love… that you can marry outside in the garden, with chairs laid out on the lawn or directly in front of the priory.
