SWYNFORD MANOR, CB8 0UE 01638 592 609 | www.swynfordmanor.com Swynford Manor is a luxurious country house combining contemporary style with rural charm. As you arrive down the gravel drive, flanked by plush lawns, you’ll catch your first glimpse of the distinctive timber-framed building. Step inside and the magic continues with a gleaming blackand-white checkered floor in the hall and a crystal chandelier above the grand staircase, perfect for making a grand entrance. The rest of the rooms are dressed to match the chic monochrome colour scheme. Surrounded by seven acres of green lawns and paddocks, all neatly framed by trees, you can be sure of privacy on your big day. Celebrate in style There’s a choice of stylish spaces for your ceremony, including the Garden Room with its stylish décor, beams and sumptuous furnishings. You can exchange vows, and after the drinks reception, sit down for a wedding breakfast with up to 150 people. The versatile space has an impressive dancefloor and room for a live band or DJ. You can host an evening reception for up to 220 loved ones and party the night away, sip drinks at the adjoining bar, or head off to the study for a little downtime. We love... The two outdoor ceremony spaces look stunning in photographs. HINTLESHAM HALL, IP8 3NS 01473 652 334 | www.hintleshamhall.co.uk Surrounded by peaceful gardens, Hintlesham Hall has an impressive Georgian frontage and an elegant Tudor feature at the back. This Suffolk gem is sure to wow your guests as they wind their way down the treelined drive and discover the impressive hall.

Intimate ceremonies take place in The Justice on the ground floor, which overlooks the back lawns. There are three function rooms too, including The Salon, which, with the adjacent Parlour, is big enough for up to 135 of your loved ones to celebrate in style. Relax in the venue’s inviting lounges, and at the end of the night, retire to the luxuriously furnished bedrooms, many of which have original timber beams. We love... The 17th-century plasterwork ceiling in the Carolean is believed to be one of the finest of its kind in the country. www.facebook.com/milkbottlephotography www.facebook.com/milkbottlephotography 25 HISTORIC VENUES
