Godwick Hall and Barn

How do I begin to talk about Godwick! From the moment we arrived and were met by James with his relaxed and comfortable style we were in love. The venue is to die for, so unique, such history and the perfect mix for us to put our stamp on the space.
Hannah was incredible from start to finish, she guided us perfectly for the months leading up to the day and asked all the things we had forgotten about. To have her with us on the day meant everything ran smoothly and just put us right at ease.
We stayed for the whole weekend with all the people most near and dear to us and that just added to the day, creating memories that will last with us all forever. The accommodation can only be described as luxury - everything you need, plenty of space to enjoy together and all the amenities you need on a party wedding weekend!

Thank you doesn't really cover it for us by it's all we have, thank you for helping us create our wedding weekend and for making it one of the most special and cherished times of our lives. We will be finding any excuse to come back!

Belly Laughs and Happy Tears

We had an absolutely amazing time at Godwick! From our first ever viewing to checking out of the barn and hall, we have had nothing short of a wonderful experience! Jenni and Megan were always on hand for a chat or reassurance with planning and we don’t have enough words to thank them for everything! We made great friends in them and cannot wait to see them all again! Couldn’t have had a better experience!

Wonderful wedding

We had the best time at Godwick, it was such a special day.

We felt so invested in by everyone that worked there. They really cared about making sure they got it right and that the day worked for us. When we had questions they answered quickly. The place is beautiful and we stayed on site too which we would highly recommend.

All in all it was just magical.

A remarkable place

Godwick is a beautiful venue off the beaten track, nestled in the Norfolk countryside. It truly feels like a magical place. Every staff member went above and beyond to make it special. We'd like to give a shout out to Hannah in particular, who guided us through and picked up the fine details without us even having to ask!

Our wedding at Godwick

Choosing Godwick as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made. We loved absolutely everything about the barn and the accommodation. Hannah provided us with such valuable support and really went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly both in the lead up to the wedding and on the day. She was a pleasure to work with and made us feel confident that our day would be a success. It was such a highlight to be able to have our families and closest friends be able to stay at the venue with a particular highlight being the bridal party being able to use the Stables to get ready on the day and be able to fully debrief with everyone on the Sunday! The Great Barn was a magical venue and totally exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to the entire team at Godwick for enabling us to have such an incredible wedding day!

Perfect elopement at Godwick

The most special day. Just us and our 2 children. It was so magical, enjoyed every moment. I’m so so happy we decided to have it at Godwick hall, The room was perfect, very cosy and intimate on a gloomy autumnal day. The staff were so lovely and welcoming, made us feel right at home.

Beautiful and easy going

The elopement venue, The Drawing Room, was stunning and perfect for a small elopement. We stayed in the Norfolk Horn Shepards hut which was cosy, warm and peaceful - perfect for our pre and post elopement stay. Only which we’d stayed longer!

What a day!!!

We can’t thank the team at Godwick for hosting our wedding. Nothing was too much of an ask and everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The venue is just stunning, and the team are super flexible with what suppliers you can use which is often not the case with many other venues. Accommodation is simply gorgeous, and housed all our family. We feel super lucky to have had the experience we had with our family and friends. Wish we could do it all again!

Outstanding

Godwick made our dream come true.
Everything was flawless from the planning to the day.
Godwick team included us throughout and made us feel calm and organised. On the day, they ensured that same calmness remained.
The venue and accommodation speaks for itself and if I had a choice I would’ve never left.
I can wait to go back and relive the memories.

Pure Magic

Where do we start about this incredible venue and superb team?

We were completely taken with the Barn and its unique surroundings when we had our first meeting with James and after taking a look around Godwick Hall, the stables and shepherds huts there was no question that we knew this was where we wanted to get married and it did not disappoint.

Every guest who celebrated with us was blown away by how beautiful the venue was. Our family and friends who were able to stay with us and share all the accommodation on site had the most amazing long weekend which was the perfect way to extend the celebrations.

Our event co-ordinator, Megan, couldn't have been more helpful and supportive throughout the whole process and under Megan's supervision the day was completely perfect and we felt so lucky it was ours!

We will be recommending Godwick to anyone we can, not just for a wedding but for a special and memorable weekend away and we so hope to be back soon to relive the amazing memories we made.

A huge thank you to the whole Godwick team who made everything so special for us. We couldn't be more grateful.
