We had so many compliments on our wedding day regarding the venue, from the beauty to how laid back the day felt and everything in between. You're given your own wedding planner who helps with every step, every one of our requests was met and the little touches they add mean everything, from the hand baked cookies from the chef being left in the hall for us on Friday, to a candle of the scent used in the reed diffuser in the hall being given as a gift when we checked out, so we can smell it and be taken back to our magical weekend. I cannot fault them at all, every single staff member went above and beyond to make sure we

We had the most perfect wedding weekend and fantastic experience of Bruisyard. We had ample time to set up the wedding ceremony and reception venue on the Friday during the day which meant far less stress on the Saturday as everything was set up and ready to go - the florist just needed to add flowers and Groomsmen did final touches. We checked into the STUNNING Bruisyard hall that evening and had an incredible first night with our closest family and friends. The wedding day was stress-free and relaxed. The team did what they needed to seamlessly and we got to enjoy every minute. The food was fantastic, all dietary needs catered for with no issue, the wine was great and the space looked absolutely gorgeous. It's a beautiful barn as it is so you don't need to do much, but you have the flexibility to add and create your own spin on things which was perfect. We had the best time, the venue is a great size so people could mingle well but we didn't loose anybody either. On the Sunday we invited people back and Bruisyard catered our post-wedding brunch which was absolutely fantastic. Ho

Bruisyard was the first venue we looked at when we got engaged. We drove onto the grounds and knew immediately this is where we wanted to get married. From booking a viewing to after the wedding the staff at Bruisyard have been exceptional. Communication has been effortless. The amount of time, effort and care the staff put in doesn't go unnoticed. It's all the little touche

We just had our 3 day wedding weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. From a 2 year planning period, the events ladies (Ruth, Ellie, Kate) were a dream to work with. No questions were a hassle and we would always get a quick response. On the day they were amazing, they made everything run so smoothly. The grounds of bruisyard are breathtaking, you can tell how much love and effort goes into the upkeep. The house was immaculate too! The big winner for us was the food, it was insane! From the grazing board we had the night before, the main wedding meal and the Sunday BBQ. We couldn’t fault anything, the quality and generous quantity was perfect for our big group of 30 friends and family. We wish we could

The Bruisyard Country Estate is such a stunning venue that was so perfect for our weekend wedding. From our initial viewing the Bruisyard team were so professional, attentive and catered for our every request, paying great attention to detail to make our day fantastic. We hired both the large house on site & the barn for the wedding day itself. The house was truly something special and a great place for our closest family & friends to stay for the weekend. The catering was deli

Bruisyard Hall is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding, as soon as we viewed the Hall we knew it was the ideal location for our wedding. The Hall itself is stunning, the bedrooms are all well decorated and comfortable, the communal rooms downstairs are all welcoming and a great place for family and friends to socialise. Staying at the Hall meant that we had plenty of time to relax so there was no rush on the day to get to the wedding venue, which was on less thing to worry about. The staff were amazing, there when you needed them but left us to it when we wanted privacy. The food was great and so much of it! The best thing was that we were able to take our dogs so the w

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for such an amazing day. We have only been home a few hours however we have had no end of compliments from our family and friends saying how fantastic the day was and especially the venue. We can’t fault you and your services. Thank you for all of your hard work making our day so very special. The food was amazing so please pass our compliments onto your fabulous chef. Can we keep your pizza chef?! The pizzas were delicious! The music was also fabulous so please pass our thanks onto Dreamwave for putting on tunes that kept our guests dancing until the very last song! Bethany, Thank you for being so approachable and friendly yet still so professional, you answered all of our questions along the way and made us feel instantly at ease. Alan, Thank you for giving us the sunniest November day we’ve had in years! You promised me the day I booked the wedd

We cannot thank everyone at Bruisyard enough for everything you did to help to make our wedding day so special. The venue is utterly beautiful and all of our guests commented on what a gorgeous setting it was - a hidden gem in Suffolk. Having the hall for the evening before just added to the whole occasion enabling all of our wedding party to spend that extra special time together. The rooms were all so beautiful and our evening meal from the kitchen was delicious! All of you staff were incredible in helping our day to run smoothly and take away any stresses there could have been. You had everything in hand on the day, which meant that Stephen and I were able to completely relax and just enjoy being together with everyone we love. The permanent smiles on our faces in the pictures say it all! Even before the event, your communication and support in the planning was incredible so thank you.
