Ivy House Country Hotel, a hidden gem set within 21 acres of beautiful gardens and Suffolk Countryside, on the banks of the river Waveney.

Enjoy exclusive use of our hotel and its beautiful venues when you book all 22 bedrooms, giving you and your guests the freedom and privacy to make the entire property your own for your special day. With everyone staying on-site, your wedding can become more than just a single celebration - from gathering together before the ceremony to enjoying a cooked breakfast (minimum 25 guests) and sharing stories the following morning, every moment can be part of the experience.

Say ‘I do’ in our rustic 17th Century Crooked Barn, a charming and characterful setting for both intimate ceremonies and larger celebrations of up to 85 guests. With its relaxed countryside atmosphere, it provides a beautiful backdrop as you exchange your vows and begin your day together.

For your wedding food and evening celebrations, Ivy Hall offers a grand and versatile space for dining, speeches, drinks and dancing. Whether you’re planning an elegant meal with your closest family and friends or a lively evening party, the space can be styled to create the atmosphere you’ve always imagined.

Step outside and discover acres of lush green gardens, mature trees and peaceful outdoor spaces, providing endless opportunities to capture those all-important photographs. From romantic couple portraits in front of the willow tree at sunset to relaxed group photographs with your family and friends on our lawns, our grounds offer a variety of beautiful backdrops throughout the seasons.

Your wedding should feel effortless, which is why you’ll have the support of your dedicated wedding coordinators Hannah & Sophie throughout the planning process. From discussing your ideas and helping to organise the finer details to managing the logistics on the day itself, they’ll be there to ensure everything runs smoothly, allowing you to relax and enjoy every moment.

We invite you to book a private tour of the hotel and grounds, where you can explore the spaces for yourself, discover the possibilities and start imagining your perfect day. Your dedicated wedding coordinator will be delighted to show you around, answer your questions and help you begin bringing your wedding plans to life.
