Actually perfect
Honestly one of the best days ever. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to Debbie-Lee, our wedding planner who truly went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy. The venue itself is beautiful and cosy, perfect for our winter elopement! No notes!!

A day we will never forget!
We can’t thank the team at Godwick for hosting our wedding. Nothing was too much of an ask and everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The venue is just stunning, and the team are super flexible with what suppliers you can use which is often not the case with many other venues. Accommodation is simply gorgeous, and housed all our family. We feel super lucky to have had the experience we had with our family and friends. Wish we could do it all again!

The most perfect wedding at Godwick
Loved everything about our wedding, from start to finish. We decided to have a very small elopement, just us and our two small children. It was very sweet and intimate. The ceremony room itself was beautiful and felt so romantic. We hired a tractor and went to the barn with the ruins in the distance. A really wet rainy day but that didn’t matter at all- it actually made it quite funny. The children led the way really and it was perfect it being relaxed and going with the flow. The staff at the venue were so attentive and made sure it was the most special day for us, and it really was.

Looking for a stunning countryside wedding?! Look no further
Godwick as a venue was everything we wanted. The barn and scenery was stunning and meant no matter the weather you were guaranteed a beautiful countryside wedding. The accommodation onsite is also incredible and turned the celebrations into a 2 day affair! The team gave us free rein and supported all the ideas we had to make the wedding really bespoke. They were very responsive, flexible and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend them to any couple.

The Perfect Wedding in December
We booked Godwick Hall for an Elopement Wedding package after looking at many venues . The house and gardens are beautiful and additionally we stayed for two nights in one of the Shepherds Huts so felt fully immersed in the experience. We had the whole place pretty much to ourselves , almost fairytale like . We were supported by a wonderful team headed by Debbie Lee . From start to finish she has been amazing and we cannot recommend her highly enough . Always full of love , ideas , support and genuine care . Communication was easy and reassuring either by phone , text or email.. She was also one of our witnesses.. Simply put all we are left with are perfect memories and wonderful photographs of the day and the venue. We cannot praise everyone enough , words seem inadequate . Thank you Debbie Lee and all involved, and if you desire the perfect wedding in beautiful rural Norfolk then really , what are you waiting for ? Simon and Sharon Bailey ..

Pure Magic
Where do we start about this incredible venue and superb team? We were completely taken with the Barn and its unique surroundings when we had our first meeting with James and after taking a look around Godwick Hall, the stables and shepherds huts there was no question that we knew this was where we wanted to get married and it did not disappoint. Every guest who celebrated with us was blown away by how beautiful the venue was. Our family and friends who were able to stay with us and share all the accommodation on site had the most amazing long weekend which was the perfect way to extend the celebrations. Our event co-ordinator, Megan, couldn't have been more helpful and supportive throughout the whole process and under Megan's supervision the day was completely perfect and we felt so lucky it was ours! We will be recommending Godwick to anyone we can, not just for a wedding but for a special and memorable weekend away and we so hope to be back soon to relive the amazing memories we made. A huge thank you to the whole Godwick team who made everything so special for us. We couldn't be more grateful.
Response from the venue

Frequently Asked Questions

Describe the best wedding that happened at Godwick?

Mine! No but seriously we have had loads of amazing weddings at Godwick, but how could I not say my own. We really did have an amazing autumn wedding in October 2015. We wanted to have a big old fashioned knees up, with a relaxed and informal atmosphere. I had some large rustic trestle tables made and these provided a fabulous communal banquet with large sharing platters and copious amounts of wine. We had great live music throughout the day, a wonderful ceremony, a big banquet dinner and then loads of dancing to a fabulous band, all set in my own wedding venue with all my family friends, what more could you want.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

I'm a big believer in working out what your theme is and how you want your day to feel, what will the vibe be like? For us, we spent a long time figuring out our theme, which was based around a strong autumnal colour pallette, and a rustic, country feel with lots of tweeds and textures. We combined these with our desire to create a relaxed and informal event and ensured that our theme ran through the whole event from the stationary we had designed to the clothes we wore, to the styling of the venue and even the menu itself. I think this really helps an event hang together and the guests get a real sense of what your wedding is about. Of course, you need to choose a great venue, and one like Godwick that is flexible and customisable!!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

We have had some wonderful, creative and stunning wedding arches for outside ceremonies, I love these.

Describe Godwick in 5 adjectives

Quirky, awesome, rustic, majestic, flexible

Where’s the best photo spot at Godwick?

The ruins of Godwick All Saints provide an amazing back drop to any wedding photography.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Godwick?

Yes we have had a few well known faces as guests, including Ireland rugby captain Rory Best. BBC London weather girl and presenter Wendy Hurrell also got married at Godwick and we have a super famous social media star getting hitched with us but as always we would never reveal their name, unless we have their permission of course!

What’s your favourite canapé?

I can't think of a canape I don't like, but it's hard to pass by any type of roasted grape adn goats cheese crostini... It is really suprising how good these are.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Toasted marshmallows on a roaring Godwick firepit of course

What is Godwick most unique feature?

We have a few unique features, but I guess our own vintage tractor, which acts as bridal transport from Godwick Hall to the Great Barn and takes couples to the ruins for photos is pretty unique. The venue itself is one of a kind and we love it for that.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

My team are an amazingly hard working bunch who are as passionate about Godwick as I am!
