Lanwades Hall

We booked for the whole weekend and honestly am so grateful that we did. Elvis and Alex were so welcoming and made booking the venue of our dreams so easy. Charlotte was fantastic at helping us plan the whole day and both she and Tegan just made everything from setting up on the Friday to packing up on the Sunday seamless. Whenever we visited and especially when we were there for our wedding, they made it feel like our home.

My wonderful husband and I grew up in Newmarket and had no idea that this incredible location existed until we spotted an open day sign one day, when driving past. We had only really just started thinking about setting a date but we stopped in and fell in love with the place immediately. We didn't even bother looking anywhere else.

There isn't a part of this venue that is not to love. We certainly can't thank the team enough and would not change a thing if we were to do it all again.

We had our wedding at Lanwades Hall on 8th June 2024. We had a phenomenal experience and would highly recommend this as a venue to anyone. We were looking for a small-to-medium sized venue for around 60-80 guests. We chose this venue after visiting for one of their open days because the venue was the right size and location but also because everyone we met there (Alex, Elvis Charlotte, Tegan) was so warm, the building is beautiful and the sunken garden is spectacular. Things we found particularly great: • The setting is stunning and certainly has a wow factor. The house itself and the grounds are stunning. Despite the Tudor-style it is actually quite a modern building, so whilst looking impressive and grand, it is very clean and comfortable. • The team (Alex, Elvis, Charlotte, Tegan) were fantastic. They were all extremely friendly and welcoming. They have been running weddings there for several years now, so are extremely experienced at knowing what works well, how to use the space, different things people have done etc. • There will be members of the team there on the day to help guide your guests (and us) around and make sure everything went smoothly (absolutely no need for an additional wedding planner). • They allowed us to select from two caterers at different price points, as these companies know the kitchens well and have a close partnership with the venue. Both caterers have fantastic menus. We went for the more affordable option (Portfolio), but the food and service was absolutely fantastic (many positive reviews from our guests), so either way you’ll have a great meal. In some ways the reduced choice of caterers is actually a blessing (sometimes too many options is a bad thing). • The accommodation was great. We were able to offer affordable rooms in the venue to up to a max of 26 of our guests on the night of the wedding, which was ideal. There are lots of accommodation options in Newmarket near the venue (at various price points) for other guests. • The space itself was really what we were looking for. There are lots of different interconnected spaces (bar, dining hall, cosy rooms with sofas and chairs, outdoor terrace). It meant in the evening people who didn’t necessarily want to be on the dance floor, could comfortably retire and chat, but still felt part of the wedding. We’ve been to weddings before where the venue is essentially one big room, which personally I enjoy less. • All our local vendors (photographer, DJ, flowers) all mentioned how they had worked the venue before and how much they loved working there, which is great. We had just under 70 guests, which is about the max that this venue can accommodate, so if you are planning a wedding with mega-numbers of guests (e.g. >100), it is probably not the venue you’re looking for. If however, your wedding is 50-70 guests, Lanwades is absolutely perfect and would recommend it to anyone.

From the first visit to the breakfast the morning after the wedding, every moment spent at Lanwades was an absolute joy and met all my wedding expectations. The whole team are amazing. Special shout out to Charlotte, Alex and Elvis. Nothing was too much for them. Every request and idea was accommodated. The venue is gorgeous, and so versatile. We had 70 guests to the day and another 20 in the evening, which felt like the perfect number for the size of the venue. The gardens are the perfect spot for welcome drinks and the sunken garden provided an amazing backdrop for beautiful pictures. Everything on the day was so streamlined and straightforward, the team took care of everything. We had different suppliers for the caterers, cake and florist, and previously to the day I was worried that it would be chaotic pulling everyone together but the Lanwades team managed all the logistics on the day that I didn’t think about it once. We feel so lucky to have chosen the venue as we had the most perfect day and I couldn’t have asked for more.

The team at Lanwades Hall were fantastic from start to finish. They provided us with excellent support throughout the planning process & we could not have done it without them. A special mention to Charlotte who was with us on our Wedding Day. You are a true professional and we both trusted you with everything on the day. You made us feel comfortable & our wedding party commented on how amazing you were.
