Such a Fabulous Venue
Such a fabulous venue. Amazing building with beautiful grounds. We stayed in the “attic” apartment on the second floor and found it absolutely perfect for our group of 10.
We were at a corporate event and the bar was well stocked, and staff were very polite
For corporate events and weddings the attic apartment is perfect for hiring during the races at Newmarket as it’s very close

The most perfect day!
We chose Lanwades as our venue very quickly. We were having a winter wedding, so the beautiful house, fireplaces and warmth was everything we were looking for. This didn't feel like a treadmill venue where you pick a package and that's what you get. From the moment we choose our date Alex and Elvis were on hand to help plan the exact day we wanted. Always so accommodating and helpful. Such a lovely team always ready to help. I really couldn't recommend Lanwades enough. The main house is beautiful and so well kept but the apartments upstairs for guest are so clean and well finished. Our guests had such a wonderful time, and we couldn't be happier.

We couldn't have asked for anything more, simply stunning & exceptional service
My husband & I couldn't fault anything at Lanwades, from the service we received when we first went to view the venue to the morning after our wedding we were made to feel at ease. It is such a stunning venue, photos really don't do it justice you must go & view it. They have recently revamped the bridal suite, it is the perfect setting for getting ready & spending your first night of marriage. Having the addition of the other rooms means you can enjoy breakfast the morning after with your nearest & dearest - what more could you want! Thanks again Alex & Elvis for everything you did to make our wedding day so special, we will forever be grateful 😊

Simply a perfect venue with perfect hosts.
We had a perfect wedding day all made sure of by our gorgeous venue owners Alex and Elvis. They made sure the wedding ran smoothly. We had the ceremony, meal and reception all at Lanwades hall. All the info was given to us in a simple way to which was easy to understand as well as all the help we could possibly need and not to mention the prices were amazing. The venue itself is stunning with its dark wood Edwardian image perfect for any season especially with the beautiful gardens. It was the best day of our lives, we could be happier.

Stunning venue, just the perfect wedding day!
As soon as we visited Lanwades Hall we knew that it was the venue for our wedding day. This magnificent hall sits in the most beautiful surroundings making it such a special and memorable venue, which is impossible not to fall in love with.
We cannot praise Elvis and Alex highly enough! From the first day we visited Lanwades Hall to look around they were both warm, friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble. They planned our day from start to finish, thinking of every small detail. We lost count of all the lovely compliments we received from our guests about the venue and the day.
If you are looking for a beautiful venue, a magical wedding day, organised by amazing people you will find it at Lanwades Hall :)
Thank you so much!

A beautiful venue, with amazing owners
We had our wedding reception at Lanwades Hall in September 2019. The venue was perfect in every way. We utilised the gardens for a canapé reception and lovely photos in and around the house. Our wedding breakfast was in the great hall which made for an amazing setting. The venue also benefitted from bedrooms for our close family and a stunning bridal suite. Alex and Elvis the owners were extremely helpful and accommodating leading up to and on the wedding day. We will hold Lanwades Hall fondly in our hearts for years to come.

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
We are as flexible as possible so we can accommodate lots of requests to really make a day personal to you both. We have hosted a traction engine, vintage buses, a lorry, confetti pony, horse and trap, family pets, dodgems, helicopters, and even a carousel!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
It can seem daunting at the start with so many choices to make. Just make one decision at a time and it will all fall into place. If you are stuck or unsure you can always ask us for advice.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Some hand made paper flowers making full bouquets and mantelpiece displays were truly impressive. Personalised luggage tags were an excellent favour, as were mini potted plants.

The Wedding Suite always gets a wow when we show it- I always leave it for last. I love the mix of the original Edwardian elegance and charm with contemporary styles and mod-cons.
