Your East Anglian Wedding - December 2020/Janaury 2021 (Issue 46)

MURRAY EDWARDS COLLEGE, CB3 0DF 01223 762 267 | www.murrayedwardsevents.co.uk Located in a tranquil spot on the edge of the city centre, Murray Edwards College is a hidden gem. One of the more modern Cambridge colleges with wide, light-filled corridors, a magnificent main dining hall as well as smaller, more intimate spaces, it’s a versatile venue for a city-chic reception. The Fountain Court Walkway is ideal for pre-dinner drinks and overlooks the fountains, a wow-factor feature lit up at night. With world-renowned works of art to admire inside the venue, the gardens are a major part of the Murray Edwards experience too. The Orchard Court lawn is ideal for marquees, inflatables and outdoor games and the secluded Fellows’ Garden leads directly off the Fellows’ Suite which includes a dining and drawing room; great as a wet-weather back up! Receptions for up to 210 guests can take place in the Dome Dining Hall, which boasts a dancefloor and bar. For more intimate affairs with up to 70 people, the Fellows’ Suite furnished with colourful rugs, art and attractive furniture, is ideal. Psst... the college is planning to apply for a ceremony licence for 2021, so watch this space! SHEENE MILL, MELBOURN 01763 261 393 | www.sheenemill.com Perched on the banks of the River Mel, Sheene Mill has been a landmark of the Cambridgeshire countryside for more than 400 years. With immaculate landscaped gardens and a beautiful wedding pavilion set on the riverbed, it’s a fairytale setting that’s hard to beat. Originally a flour mill, the traditional 16 th -century building boasts a wealth of original features including open fireplaces and exposed beams. Licensed for ceremonies for up to 110 guests, you can tie the knot inside or out and take your pick from a choice of romantic backdrops. The heated outdoor pavilion can be fitted with a canopy so you can marry al fresco whatever the weather. The Banqueting Hall can cater for up to 120 loved ones for the wedding breakfast or the Garden Conservatory, with views across the lake, provides a setting for more intimate celebrations. We love... the luxurious, two-floor suite for getting ready on the big day. www.pho tographybysimon.com www.scot tsofcambridge.co.uk www.lizg reenhalgh.co.uk 26
