Venue & Vineyard

VENUE & VINEYARD Copdock Hall Congratulations You’ve made the most important decision... but it’s only the beginning

We appreciate how overwhelming planning a wedding can be and at

Copdock Hall, we want you to enjoy the day exactly the way you’ve

planned.

We’ve created a stunning historical building with all mod cons,

but it’s waiting for you to put on the finishing touches.

Each wedding is individual and with the hire of the venue lasting 48

hours, you really have time to make it your own. Of course,

we can help along the way with an emphasis on fun, so that you, your

family and friends can share a day to remember.

On the big day you will have access to the barn at least 24 hours before the event when you can personalise the venue with flowers, lighting, special effects and seating plans. On weekend weddings the hire will run from midday Friday to midday Sunday.

• There is a private bridal room at your disposal for the whole day.

• There will be a dedicated event manager on the day.

• We have three caterers for you to choose from and recommendations for photographers, florists, DJs, cake suppliers, make-up artists and hairdressers which have been personally selected by us.

• You are welcome to bring in wine for the wedding breakfast with no corkage charge based on guest numbers. We supply a staffed bar in the evening charging local pub prices.

• There is a wide range of three and four-star accommodation within four miles of the venue as well as easy road and rail networks to London, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk.

• We are on hand to offer advice and answer questions.

The venue hire price includes provision for the civil ceremony but fees are payable to the Registrar direct for their services - currently between £450 to £595 depending on day/time.
