Amy & Ben: The Jockey Club Rooms

 I was warmly greeted by Charlotte, the manager responsible for ensuring a seamless wedding day at The Jockey Club Rooms in Newmarket. While I’m no stranger to Suffolk weddings (in fact this year I have been in Suffolk and Norfolk more often than my home county of Essex), this was my first visit to such a beautiful venue with exceptional staff.

The Jockey Club Rooms was the ideal choice for Amy and Ben, given Amy’s lifelong passion for horses and her Newmarket roots. The venue offered a perfect blend of luxury for a laid-back relaxed wedding. The ceremony was officiated by a family friend, the outdoor terrace hosting the speeches and bowl food instead of a formal sit-down meal. The focus was on celebrating and having fun, so I wasn’t surprised when Amy changed into a new outfit, perfect for dancing, for the evening.
Amy and Ben were beaming with joy throughout the day, their happiness evident as they celebrated their marriage.
