Not sure if our review can do this place justice….. but just WOW!!!!
If you are searching for a top-class wedding venue that is unique, elegant, exclusive, fun and FULL of surprises - then we urge you to look no further! These were all the very reasons why we chose this Thursford Garden Pavilion as our wedding venue. They say that the venue makes a wedding – and boy did this place deliver on every front!
From our first viewing with Melissa and Emma we just knew that this was the venue for us. The incredible Events team at Thursford are the ultimate professionals and they REALLY know their stuff, taking the stress out of planning the... -

Wow! Wow! Wow is the best way to describe Thursford Garden Pavilion, Holly Lodge and every single member of staff there!! We stayed the night before the wedding at Holly Lodge and it was the best decision we could of made. It was absolutely beautiful, the staff were exceptional and went above and beyond with everything. They were so kind and caring and made us feel so welcome. They have thought of everything you could possibly want or need at Holly Lodge. The bikes were awesome and having a Birthday to celebrate the night before, the beautiful garden was a perfect spot to do so!
We got married in the secret garden (thanks to Melissa making it happen... -

From the minute we arrived to look round Thursford I was smitten, the whole atmosphere felt calm and serene and welcoming. We had the lovely Charlie show us around and his enthusiasm was so infectious, we were excited already! We were also completely bowled over by how involved and enthusiastic all the staff we met were. We left and didn’t think twice we were hooked!
The whole experience with Melissa and Emma was so smooth, nothing was too much and they were genuinely excited by ideas no matter how bonkers they sounded. Inflatable helter-skelter, no problem, filling the room with antique furniture and “Knick knack”, sounds great, changing up the wine offering to have Rose Lemonade, consider it... -

A day to remember
My husband Joe and I got married in May at Thursford Garden Pavilion, and it was everything we had hoped for—and more! The venue looked just as stunning in person as it did in the photos, we were really lucky, and it was a lovely dry and sunny day.
The night before, we checked into Holly Lodge which is an amazing place to stay and on the morning of our wedding the staff there were on hand to make breakfast for us and even iron our shirts last minute!
We got married inside the museum itself, which is such a one-of-a-kind setting. The space created a warm, intimate atmosphere that our guests loved. Many of them commented on how... -

Becca Sent on 25/09/2024Stunning venue, incredible staff!
Thursford was the last of 7 venues we visited around Norfolk, and it's so true when people say you just know. Melissa greeted us on arrival and her love for the venue really showed, she was so enthusiastic and was able to answer all of the questions we had. We booked for August 2024, and throughout the year Emma and Melissa would keep in touch asking how planning was going, recommending suppliers and helping me organise things.
Due to the amazing support and communication from the team I felt completely at ease when the day came around, we booked the Holly Lodge accommodation package for two nights so we were able to spend the day and night before with... -

Wendy Sent on 18/09/2024We chose Thursford
From our very first meeting with Melissa and Emma at a wedding show at the Norfolk show ground we found Thursford Garden pavilion to be a unique choice! It wasn’t until we met with Emma and Melissa again at Thursford that we realised the most beautiful and utterly magical venue which ticked all the boxes for us both. From that very first moment we found our perfect venue!
Not only did Emma and Melissa help with making our day so very magical but any problem I encountered and which seemed so big to me was a walk in the park for this duo!
We had planned to marry in the... -

A Unique and Magical Wedding day at Thursford
We celebrated our wedding day at Thursford Garden Pavilion and had the most amazing day.
From the moment we were greeted by Melissa for the viewing, we knew instantly we had to book, it was everything we had dreamt of and more.
In the run up to the wedding, Melissa and Emma were both on hand to answer any questions we had and they both went above and beyond to ensure our day was exactly how we envisioned it. The whole team at Thursford are a pleasure to work with.
After our church ceremony , we had canapes and prosecco in the secret garden, this is a hidden gem, with beautifully manicured lawns and the most... -

Becky Sent on 03/05/2024A wedding to be magically remembered by all!
What an absolute privilege to have celebrated our wedding at Thursford Garden Pavilion!
We chose to stay for the two nights at Holly Lodge B&B across the road which certainly was the icing on the cake and made our day that much more special and stress-free. The breakfast included on both mornings were delicious, the rooms were stunning and no ask was too much from the lovely staff, they even had sewing kits and did our ironing! It also gave us a great base to return to and could easily access the venue.
The whole process of preparing and planning our special day was made easy thanks to the fantastic team at Thursford, they were all extremely... -

Spring wedding 2024
Before the wedding itself, Emma was fantastic with communication and Melissa helped us when we had an issue with a supplier (not linked to Thursford), this was extremely reassuring and helped massively. We really enjoyed preparing the venue the day before (with lots of help, advice and support from Melissa). We felt so reassured with the knowledge and experience the events team at Thursford have and didn't have to worry about anything.
I was able to wake up at the stunning Holly Lodge where my bridal party all enjoyed the amazing breakfast. The Holly Lodge staff team were all so welcoming, friendly and went above and beyond to make the wedding morning perfect - even offering sausages... -

Perfect! A magical wedding day.
From the beginning stages of planning to leaving (after having an amazing stay at Holly Lodge ) the day after the wedding everything was perfect. The staff are friendly , calm and efficient, and we couldn’t have asked for more from them. The venue is beautiful and so unique.
The venue is outstanding and just magical a“one-of-a-kind venue”, as many guests said.
It has a great mix of different areas for you to get married , have drinks and then have your wedding breakfast. The venue boasts lots of character both inside and out.
We chose to have use of the ice-cream parlour, carousel and gondola which made it even more special, especially as... -
