Milsoms Kesgrave Hall is a 27 bedroom luxury hotel set within a stadium of woodland along a picturesque lane in Suffolk. Our dedicated and licensed wedding venue is positioned on the edge of the landscaped grounds towards the rear of the hotel with an adaptable space that perfectly accommodates all wedding parties. Your dedicated wedding coordinator will help you to plan your dream day.
Many couples choose to arrive the day before their wedding to settle in, make full use of The Spa, Kesgrave Hall and unwind with treatments before your big day. Ten of our luxury bedrooms are reserved when booking The Hangar, and we include Room 1, our best, with our compliments for the celebrating couple. Invitations to breakfast, gifts and information can be placed in the guests bedrooms, and we’ll organise room lists for a fast and easy check-in.
Our location is set in beautiful tree-lined surroundings ensuring a great night’s sleep. On awakening you can enjoy a breakfast in bed, or perhaps a dedicated buffet breakfast on the terrace overlooking the lawns for you and your staying guests.
Your guests have arrived and will be ready for the ceremony. All that is left is for you to descend the winding stairs in the main hotel before making your entrance. We hold two wedding licences at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall, one in the main house and one in our dedicated wedding venue. Or why not enjoy the stunning Suffolk countryside with a wedding ceremony in your own exclusive woodland area.
You’re married and will be feeling a little more relaxed now as you notice your guests unwinding and enjoying the day. The photographer will have done their job and captured those magical moments and you can now look forward to enjoying your wedding menu.
Dinner has been served and the tables cleared. The speeches are delivered and their notes set aside. Perhaps it’s time for a change or to take a moment to reflect on the day so far. Whatever you choose, our team will be there to assist with all that you need.
A wedding really should be a wonderful and memorable party and once your evening guests have arrived and the cake has been cut it’s time to dance, drink or perhaps take a quick dip into your evening menu.
Whether it’s the first dance or that final dedication at midnight, the acoustics and lighting at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall will make for a very special occasion and even more wonderful photographs.
You’ve danced ‘til midnight and perhaps stayed a little later in the bar. The morning after can be a lovely occasion to invite your closest friends and family to a private breakfast where you can swap stories and share pictures of your wedding day. There is no need to rush away and you’re welcome to join us for breakfast, brunch or lunch and beyond.
