Where to wed in and around this historic market town BURY ST EDMUNDS AND NORTH SUFFOLK Ravenwood Hall Hotel, IP30 9JA 01359 270 345 | ravenwoodhall.co.uk This versatile venue offers the best of both the old and the new. Located just three miles from Bury St Edmunds, it’s set in glorious secluded grounds and provides the ideal setting for a country house wedding. There’s a choice of varied spaces, whether you’re looking for old world charm or contemporary chic. Parts of the hall date back to the days of Henry VIII and the main building offers a traditional feel with original features including exposed beams and open fireplaces. The atmospheric Tudor Room is licensed for ceremonies and can host up to 70 people for your ‘I dos’ and 50 seated guests for the reception. Set in the grounds, the contemporary-style pavilion provides a light and airy space with its own gardens and private lawn; great for a relaxed summer wedding. You can tie the knot here with up to 130 loved ones, enjoy al fresco drinks post-vows and continue the celebrations inside with a seated wedding breakfast or buffet-style reception. With nearly seven acres of grounds there’s no shortage of great photo opportunities and plenty of space for marquee receptions for as many as 500 family and friends. We love... the summerhouse with its pagoda walkway for picture-perfect outdoor ceremonies.  Spotlight on... REGIONAL VENUES 19
