Your East Anglian Wedding - February/March 2026 (Issue 77)

Romantic reflections A serene waterside venue where contemporary style meets natural beauty, The Boathouse at Ormesby Broad offers unforgettable weddings Nestled on the banks of Ormesby Broad, The Boathouse is surrounded by tranquil waters, native reedbeds, and abundant wildlife, creating a truly beautiful and idyllic backdrop. The venue features a spacious, decked terrace that extends over the water, offering ample space for ceremonies, photography, and al fresco receptions. From gentle water reflections to the natural wildlife setting, every detail feels thoughtfully curated to create a vivid and memorable experience. Inside, The Boathouse exudes serene contemporary style, with cool, calming colours, clean lines, and understated elegance that harmonise seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Ceremonies can take place beneath a charming outdoor arbour, tucked beside the peaceful waters of Ormesby Broad and framed by lush reedbeds. This naturally romantic setting can accommodate up to 120 loved ones. Alternatively, if the British weather isn’t on your side, the Ceremony Room provides a wonderfully light and airy option. With sliding glass doors offering uninterrupted views of the broads, this space also hosts up to 120 guests. Following the vows, The Breakfast Room, adjoining the Ceremony Room, hosts your seated wedding breakfast. It comfortably accommodates up to 120 friends and family on round tables dressed with crisp, contemporary linens, and features striking fixtures, modern furniture, and stylish finishes. Later, the space can welcome up to 250 loved ones for the evening celebration, with easy access to the dancefloor and a private bar. Between the two main rooms, you’ll find the reception and private bar area, perfect for drinks and canapés, while guests can also step out onto the decked terrace to enjoy an al fresco celebration. For an unforgettable arrival, couples tying the knot at The Boathouse can choose to arrive by boat. Travelling across the broad aboard the venue’s Edwardianstyle launch, Gentlemen Jim, couples can step onto the jetty and make a truly grand entrance. This dramatic approach, along with the jetty itself, provides a stunning backdrop for wedding photographs. Mini boat tours are also available for guests to enjoy during the celebrations. To experience The Boathouse firsthand, couples are invited to attend the venue’s upcoming Wedding Fair on Sunday 22nd March, from 11am–3pm.
