Let it snow Magical venues for a winter wedding BESSINGHAM MANOR, BESSINGHAM 07970 073 315 | www.weddings.bessinghammanor.uk Cosy up at this beautiful Victorian manor house. Perfect for a winter wedding, the exclusive-use, Norfolk venue oozes character and style. With tall chimneys, Dutch gables and ornate, detailed red brickwork, there’s a wealth of standout features inside and out. Decorated in subtle Farrow and Ball colours, the interiors are adorned with cornicing, dado and picture rails, gorgeous light fittings and stained glass windows, creating a wonderfully romantic and inviting atmosphere. Set in four-and-a-half acres of grounds, there’s a vast garden at the back with mature trees and a small woodland area, open parkland beyond, and a large patio too. Your very own home away from home, you and your guests won’t need to leave the house if you don’t want to. There are working fireplaces in the study and kitchen and, as it’s mainly a dry-hire venue, you can decorate it how you like. Think garlands draped around the bannisters of the sweeping staircase or a Christmas tree in the main entrance. Tie the knot in the south-facing drawing room; light and bright with two sets of bay windows, chandeliers and a marble fireplace, it can host up to 100 ceremony guests and 80 for the wedding breakfast. For more intimate ‘I dos’ the cosy study is ideal. When the weather’s fine you can exchange vows outside in the gardens, sign the register in the study and celebrate afterwards with a marquee or tipi reception for up to 200 loved ones and invite more for the evening celebration. We love… the old brick and flint tower, once part of the entrance to the manor, it’s a great backdrop for just-wed photos. www.matthewclaytonphotography.co.uk www.perfectposephotography.co.uk www.perfectposephotography.co.uk REGIONAL VENUES 23
