Suffolk Retreats gives you the unique opportunity to have an exclusive venue, with complete control over what else you book and how much you spend. You are completely free to arrange your own caterers, food, drinks bar staff, flowers, DJ or band to make you day exactly as you want it to be.

So what else is different?
– Most venues request you use their own caterers. We do not
– Most venue request that you buy drinks from them. We do not
– Most venues ask the music to stop at 11pm. We do not. Why stop when the party has only just started?
– Most venues only allow you access on the day – at Suffolk Retreats you will be here overnight allowing plenty of time to get everything ready, without any panic
– The choices of things you might like to book yourselves are endless. At previous events there have been fireworks, a bird of prey display, an air display overhead, giant slides, and a bride and groom arriving by helicopter. We are happy to work with you and your chosen suppliers to make your day truly both bespoke and unique.

With the backdrop for the marquee being a 400 year old cottage, and set in the wonderful Suffolk countryside, the photo opportunities are endless too.
