East Anglia Wedding Venues

You are not religious any other day of the year. So why get married in a church? There are some beautiful East Anglia wedding venues situated in former manor houses and sharp contemporary hotels. They offer a chance to get married in a stunning environment without the uncomfortable church atmosphere. Alternatively, some Suffolk wedding packages include a variety of special extras, from beauty treatments for the bride to rooms for the guests.  Places offering Norwich wedding receptions range from golf clubs to intimate hotel function rooms, where food is laid on and you can book an open bar.

East Anglia Civil Partnership Venues

Hoteliers are catching on that same sex partners want to get married, and making it clear that they offer civil partnerships as well as opposite sex wedding ceremonies. There are plenty of East Anglia civil partnership venues that offer extra services like wedding planners and caterers, so all you have to worry about is your outfit and keeping feuding relatives separated. If you are planning a Cambridge civil partnership ceremony take time to explore several possible locations, from the historic quarters to the riverside developments. Also be sure to book the perfect Cambridgeshire honeymoon hotel to ensure a blissful start to married life together.

Suffolk Wedding Venue

Nowadays, very few people want a 'traditional wedding' at a Suffolk wedding venue.  Why? Because they are expensive, dull and as Rosamund Urwin said, end up being "a mix of misogyny and materialism". They are also incredibly tacky; remember the pink plastic confection that was Jordan's wedding coach? India Knight also pointed out that the skyrocketing cost of weddings just leaves most couples miserable and uptight. If you want to plan a more unusual wedding in Bury St Edmunds, why not buy a flattering dress, in a colour and cut that suits you, from your favourite boutique, or even eBay?  Get married in a garden, skip the speeches and remember that love never means obedience.
