This is such a fun wedding venue, enough space to play, but not too much that the children can not be easily kept an eye on.

It’s all exclusively yours to decorate how you wish. So much opportunity here to make your wedding unique.
Surrounded by woodland, meadows, and fields of Suffolk you really are away from the rest of the world. A rural wedding experience.
I have found it can be very popular with couples who live in London, an escape from the city… a break for all in the countryside. Guests often make a little holiday out of their trip to weddings here as there are many interesting places to explore nearby.

An Alpheton Wedding Ceremony

There is so much choice when it comes to deciding where to have your legal wedding ceremony in Alpheton. First up, we have the traditional church ceremony, and right next door is St Peter & St Paul’s Church.

For a civil ceremony with the Suffolk registrars or any other kind of ceremony (having performed the legalities at another time), you have two options: an outdoor wedding in the woodland ceremony glade, surrounded by trees… or indoors in the West Barn.

Suffolk Wedding Venue

Above and beyond is what comes to mind when I think of Alpheton Hall Barns.
Which is probably surprising as this is a venue hire only place.
I always get the warmest of welcomes from Nic and Carol when I turn up for a wedding. I love to see just how much they care about every wedding held at their venue.

There’s so much choice when it comes to the actual ceremony. You can get married in the church of St Peter & St Paul next door, a civil ceremony in the barn, or you can take your vows surrounded by trees in the woodland ceremony glade.
