A Country House Wedding, Reimagined
Celebrate your love at The Ickworth
A grand estate with wild gardens, sweeping views, and a warm welcome for every generation. Romance lives here, in every elegant room and sun-dappled corner.
A Suffolk love story begins here
The Ickworth isn’t just a wedding venue, it’s a place where history, nature, and romance dance together. Set within 1,800 acres of National Trust parkland, this Italianate palace is grand, yes, but never stuffy. It’s where candlelight dinners meet carefree lawn games, and every generation feels at home.
Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant indoor ceremony or a joyful outdoor celebration with sweeping estate views, your day here will be unforgettable.
Ceremony & celebration spaces
Choose from beautiful indoor and outdoor settings, each full of character and charm. Our reception spaces suit every style, from formal dining to relaxed gatherings. Every detail feels effortless and elegant, surrounded by views and heritage.
Weddings made for all generations
Make it all entirely yours for a wedding that brings everyone together. With exclusive use of either The Lodge or The Ickworth Hotel and The Lodge together, you can host drinks, wander the gardens, and celebrate across a whole weekend at your own pace. Children are joyfully included, with crèche services, games, and menus designed just for them. Families stay close in spacious rooms and suites, from playful little ones to proud grandparents, all welcomed and well cared for.
