You've dreamed of your wedding day for your whole life, so why settle for anything less than perfect? At Bedford Lodge Hotel, we have everything you need for your dream wedding from an exquisite venue and surroundings to mouth-watering food.

As a popular Suffolk wedding venue, we offer civil ceremonies in Newmarket which is the perfect alternative to a Registry Office. Nestled in three acres of secluded rose gardens, the hotel offers beautiful surroundings and three self contained banqueting suites which can accommodate 10 to 150 guests. And with room for a marquee in the hotel's stunning grounds, it’s the perfect place for a civil ceremony venue in Suffolk this summer or beyond.

Our exquisitely elegant white stucco building, parts of which date back to the 17th century, and dazzling rose gardens provide a wonderfully romantic backdrop for your wedding photographs and create the perfect environment in which to enjoy a glass of champagne and canapés with your guests.

Our Executive Head Chef, from our award winning restaurant Squires, has created a delicious menu of tempting dishes that will make your mouth water! From the Wedding Breakfast to your evening buffet and canapés for your guests to enjoy on arrival – there is something to please every palate.

We use fresh, seasonal produce sourced from local suppliers where possible. If our menus do not completely satisfy your delights, we are happy to create a tailor-made menu for you. For a quirky alternative your guests will remember for all the right reasons, why not serve warm bacon rolls at midnight. For summer weddings why not a hog roast or posh BBQ served in our beautiful rose gardens.

If you are thinking of getting married in Suffolk, why not select one of the finest wedding venues Suffolk has to offer; our professional wedding co-ordinators will be on hand to ensure everything goes smoothly – enabling you to enjoy the big day without a care in the world. Our dedicated wedding team will give you all the personal care and attention you deserve.

As the famous Scottish saying goes: "S mairg a ni tarcuis air biadh” (he who has contempt for food is a fool) which just about sums up the attitude of the Scottish and the love of their grub!  From the national dish of Haggis to the finest whisky in the world, the Scots over hundreds of years have embraced offerings from rugged mountains, lakes and lochs to fertile valleys and moorlands.

Join us over the next 2 weeks and savor some fine Scottish recipes, carefully selected by our Executive Head Chef, James Fairchild... served up in our award-winning Squires Restaurant!
