Tucked away in the forests and heath lands of Suffolk's Heritage Coast lies one of East Anglia's best kept secrets, a wild and fantastic location, Butley Priory. Originally an Augustinian Monastery dating back to 1171, it now provides an incomparable wedding and event venue, with superbly comfortable accommodation. No other venue equals it in such beauty, history, glamour and romance

Pretty details from Tom & Laura’s weekend wedding at Butley Priory. Our little corner of Suffolk provides the perfect backdrop for a country garden marquee wedding.

Laura chose a beautiful palette of pink and sage green, which featured throughout the stationery, florals and tableware.

Laura’s day began in the wedding suite with a morning of pampering surrounded by her girls, while Tom enjoyed a round of golf with the guys.

A ceremony at nearby Orford Church and then back to Butley for drinks & canapés in the South Garden.

Onto dinner & dancing in the marquee, with a carefully scheduled cocktail hour featuring Gin Gardens, Spicy Margarita’s & Espresso Martinis. (Swipe for evidence!)

At the end of the night, a village of gorgeous cottages & farmhouse awaits our guests in which to rest their weary heads and dancing feet!

Friday night suppers & Sunday brunching topped & tailed a glorious day of celebration, all expertly delivered with a little help from our talented friends below..

Congratulations Laura & Tom, what a superb weekend! Everything looked beautiful and we loved every minute!

Looking back to Alice and Lewis' beautiful Winter wedding today, where classic whites and fresh greens were seen throughout.

From the bridal party, who were dressed in simple, elegant white dresses, through to the florals, and table settings - it all came together seamlessly.

Thankfully, the day presented us with a glorious golden hour for the most exquisite couple portraits.

We'll never tire of looking through these incredibly beautiful images, thank you Alice and Lewis for choosing Butley Priory to host your very special wedding day!

It's all about the details...
Scrolling through the images from Emilie & Charlie's winter wedding, we couldn't help but notice all the wonderful special touches that culminated in a fabulous weekend of December celebration. Can you spot them?

1. Pretty glassware - Emilie & Charlie chose pretty prism glassware for both the reception and wedding breakfast.
2. 'Something old, Something Blue' - a tiny blue ribbon and coin were stitched into the inside of Emilie's gown.
3. Killer heels - Feeling fabulous in a pair of shoes
4. Scent - Peony & Blush Suede scented candle from
5. Glow - the palest pink candles created all the ambience
6. History - The most beautiful black & white framed family wedding photos
7. Kiss me - Under the mistletoe (psst: it's hanging from the chandelier!)
8. Cocktail Hour - Treat your guests to Espresso Martinis, the perfect accompaniment to tea & coffee
9. Prosecco tower - For all the drama, with none of the spillage!
10. Sparklers - Head out in style...the photos will look amazing!

What an incredible wedding! Congratulations again to Emilie & Charlie

Feel inspired!

With a little help from the delightful duo of and , Emilie and Charlie created a wonderful ceremony room, which later transformed into an equally beautiful reception space for their wedding breakfast.

Using statement florals in the form of a sumptuous display on the mantelpiece, together with two rising pillars flowing with blooms, the scene was set for a romantic and pretty ceremony.

A few adjustments later and the Great Hall was transformed again to reveal the prettiest tables for a delectable dinner of Teriyaki glazed pork belly, coconut rice, served with Ohitashi greens. A delicious Winter wedding menu full of flavour!

Using the same room for your ceremony and reception doesn't have to be limiting, scroll through to witness the most exquisite transformation...and just look at those flowers!

The Drawing Room is such a special room. It has a wonderfully intimate feel with a cosy fireplace and deep, comfy sofas but look up and you'll find the most intricate stone ceiling, with a fabulous floral chandelier as its centrepiece.

On days when it's not feasible to be outside, it's in the Drawing Room that we'll host your drinks reception, and the best bit?

Tucked away, you'll find our secret bar, revealed via a door in the wooden panelling. A welcome surprise for your guests to find a haven of carefully selected gins and freshly made cocktails.
