A small wedding venue in Suffolk that doesn’t make you pay for empty chairs

Most wedding venues set a minimum number of guests, so a smaller wedding ends up costing the same as a big one. At The Venue at Kersey Mill we’ve done away with that. You book exclusive use of the venue, choose your catering and drinks for exactly the number of guests you’re inviting, and add the extras you want.

Set in 18 acres of countryside in Kersey, near Hadleigh, we’re an easy journey from Ipswich, Colchester, Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds. Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding for close family, a relaxed midweek celebration or a full Saturday party, the package works the same way.
