Your East Anglian Wedding - Page number 25 - June/July 2021 (Issue 49)

ALL MANOR OF EVENTS, HENLEY 01473 831 263 | www.allmanorofevents.co.uk Just 10 minutes from Ipswich town centre, Manor Farm Barn is set in a rural location with fabulous countryside views. Approached by a long driveway lined by chestnut trees, it offers a wealth of great photo opportunities. The barn has undergone extensive work to transform it into the versatile wedding venue it is today. With double glass doors to the outside, a fully equipped kitchen, bar area and large black and white sprung dancefloor, it provides a self-contained space for weddings large or small. Dressed with marquee-style lining and chandeliers, the neutral colour scheme complements a range of wedding themes. You can marry in the main Chestnut Barn joined by 200 seated guests and host a sumptuous wedding breakfast afterwards. The spacious courtyard provides a sheltered spot for al fresco drinks day or night and looks magical lit up in the evening. At the side of the building, the cosy Poplar Barn is ideal for more intimate ceremonies and if you’re dreaming of an al fresco affair, the purpose-built Garden Room provides the perfect space to exchange vows. WE LOVE… the pygmy goats, sheep and alpacas on the farm; a popular attraction for guests, especially the little ones. www.elem entalphotography.co.uk www.elem entalphotography.co.uk BLACKTHORPE BARN, BLACKTHORPE 01359 720 350 | www.weddingsatblackthorpebarn.co.uk Blackthorpe Barn ticks a whole lot of boxes when it comes to country weddings with style and character. The Medieval thatched Suffolk barn is nestled in a picturesque setting surrounded by woodland and wildflowers with a meadow to the side; perfect for outdoor games and glamping. The main barn is licensed for ceremonies with up to 250 guests and come the evening you can party the night away with as many as 350 of your friends and family. Coupled with Blackthorpe House, there’s something to suit a whole range of big-day needs. The beautifully furnished Georgian house next to the barn can be used for staying the night before and getting ready in the morning as well as somewhere special to stay on the wedding night. It’s available for intimate weddings too and is licensed for ceremonies. WE LOVE… that weddings are tailored to suit you and it’s a bit of foodie heaven too! BEAUTIFUL BARNS 25
