About this space

Ivy Hall

Ivy Hall is a striking setting for larger ceremonies of 220. It’s licensed to hold 250 people for an evening reception but can seat a maximum of 220 for a sit-down meal. The smallest sit-down meal in the hall was 35 people. We cater for any style of wedding from a traditional three-course meal to an informal BBQ, hog roast or buffet with all your favourite nibbles – our chef will work with you to create a menu you’ll both love and remember. Other key features of this space include…

- Quiet and peaceful (away from any roads/water)
- Safe for children
- Purpose built for weddings/parties
- Air-conditioning (absolute necessity on hot summer days)
- Heating (toasty for winter weddings)
- Draped ceilings (important to point out this is not a marquee)
- Fairy lights on the soft ceiling drapes
- Spacious and airy venue with plenty of space
- PA system
- Stage (perfect for elevating live bands, musicians, DJs)
- Projector (perfect for speeches)
- Windows on two sides with garden views
- Private gardens with outdoor seating exclusive for the wedding party - perfect for wildlife spotting (foxes, muntjac deer, hedgehogs, squirrels, rare birds are a common sight)
- Fully stocked bar with drink deals available (upgrade to a double for +£2) two bottles of prosecco for £40
- Coloured lights in the trees and on the pergolas at night
- Toilets in the entrance foyer (built in 2020)

Ivy Lawns

With direct access to the banks of the Broads and 21-acres of grounds, our outdoor ceremonies are held on the Ivy Hall lawn with stunning panoramic views. You can either say “I do” in the Crooked Barn and host your reception outside - hire a tepee, marquee or outdoor awning adorned with fairy-lights for a dreamy outdoor wedding. If you like, you can hold both your ceremony and reception outdoors too.

Welcome to weddings at Ivy House Country Hotel. Situated on the most southern point of the Norfolk Broads and just a stone’s throw from the coast, Ivy House Country Hotel boasts the best of both worlds - evocative waterways and charming English countryside.

A relaxed country retreat with picture-perfect grounds - this perfectly sums up Ivy House Country Hotel. Widely known for its luxury hotel suites, Ivy House Country Hotel holds beautiful ceremonies in the thatched Crooked Barn and 21-acres of gardens, ponds and marshland. It really is a special place to say “I do”.

We live and breathe weddings. After all, it’s in our namesake. In folklore, ivy is often presented to the bride and groom as symbol of love, everlasting life, fidelity and devotion - making Ivy House Country Hotel, the perfect place to wed.

Wedding Venue Spaces

We play host to weddings of all types and sizes, from small intimate occasions of 10 to larger grand-scale shin digs for up to 230 guests. Packed full of charm, The Crooked Barn is an inimitable location for a wedding ceremony. We also have another stunning space, Ivy Hall – perfect for larger ceremonies, your wedding breakfast and reception. Alternatively, our grounds provide a blank canvas for sun-soaked and star-gazing weddings.
