Civil Ceremonies

‘We understand that this is the most important part of your day, when you exchange promises of love and commitment in the company of close friends and those you love the most.’

We will talk to you in depth regarding the ceremony itself, your choice of music, how you wish to organise the procession and other details which will make your ceremony perfectly tailored to your wishes.

We have a unique collection of 3 stunning rooms which are licenced for your ceremony to take place in. Chestnut Barn is the spectacular main barn where Wedding Receptions are also held. The ceremony takes place at the top end of the barn which is sectioned off. Poplar Barn is the exclusively appealing end barn which has a cosy intimate feel to it and is located off the side of Chestnut Barn. The ‘rustic’ design to Poplar Barn adds a beautiful modern feel to it with a touch of chic. The Garden Room is an exquisite Gazebo located outside of the barn which will provide guests with the facility to have an outdoor ceremony. The Garden Room oozes elegance and grace and is perfect for couples who would like to have an outdoor ceremony. We are also super excited to now be able to hold ceremonies in the Woodland! For more information about how this works, please contact the team who will be able to run you through the logistics of a Woodland ceremony.

It is your responsibility to check availability and book the registrar.  All Manor of Events is under the Gipping and Hartismere Registrars who are based in Stowmarket.  Their telephone number is 0345 607 2050 and their email is stowmarket.registrars@suffolk.gov.uk

We are licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships any day of the week excluding Christmas Day and Easter Sunday.  Ceremonies can be booked with the registrars from 8am to 5pm (5pm is latest a ceremony can start).

Use our easy seating plan tool to layout your civil ceremony or partnership.
