  Britains's Finest Luxury Hotels

Civil Ceremony

Four beautiful rooms of the house are licensed to perform civil ceremonies.

 

We do not usually hold civil ceremonies only without having the wedding breakfast at the Hall, however, we may consider this possibility out of prime time – prices for civil ceremonies only on application.

 

The timings for your civil ceremony depend upon your evening reception and can be discussed at the time of enquiry.

 

To arrange a registrar to attend your civil ceremony, the bride or groom should contact the Ipswich Registrars direct to check availability of dates and times on 01473 583051.

 

As part of our wedding service, we can co-ordinate your personal choice of CD music for the entrance of the bride, signing of the register and bride and groom’s exit. Alternatively, you may like us to help arrange live musicians, such as a string quartet, harpist, pianist or guitarist.

 

The following room hire prices apply for your civil ceremony. If you wish to hold both your civil ceremony and your wedding breakfast at Hintlesham Hall Hotel, then simply add both the civil ceremony and wedding breakfast room hire rates (on separate tabs) together.

 

VAT at the current rate is inclusive.

The Salon

The Georgian-style Salon is the most spectacular and largest licensed room, with its impressive chandelier and ornate gold-leaf ceiling.
