Sutton Bonington Hall is more than just a wedding venue. We regularly host other important family celebrations at the Hall. In this way families can revisit and enjoy the Hall more than once!
We have hosted Christening Lunches and 'Welcome to the World' parties, for families to celebrate their new baby with a family gathering at this beautiful venue. Occasionally the parents were married at Sutton Bonington Hall and choose to revisit the Hall for this next special step in their lives. We could also host Baby Naming Ceremonies at the Hall, as an alternative to a church christening.
We also host wedding anniversary celebrations. Whether it is Ruby or Golden or perhaps a 10 year wedding anniversary you are celebrating we tailor the event to suit your requirements. Perhaps a Sunday Lunch would be best, or an evening dinner dance. Call 01509672355 or email enquiries@sutton-bonington-hall.com with your ideas.
The Hall has been the venue for a few Golden wedding celebrations, and the families often bring elements of their wedding day to the Hall. Displaying old wedding photos and newspaper clippings from the day.
In the last few months we have hosted a special 50th birthday evening party, which the birthday girl organised herself so she had the party she wanted. In contrast for a special 70th birthday celebration, his family organised a surprise party at Sutton Bonington Hall, which had also been their wedding venue a few years prior.

How to find your perfect wedding venue...
First of all, if you are recently engaged - Congratulations!
Hopefully after the celebrations of the engagement calm down you can move onto enjoying planing and preparing for your big day. However, for some couples this is a difficult step into a world they know little about - where do you start!
We have put together a couple of hints and tips that we pass on to couples as they visit Sutton Bonington Hall, and hopefully they may be of help to you too!

We have put together a couple of hints and tips that we pass on to couples as they visit Sutton Bonington Hall, and hopefully they may be of help to you too!
- Keep an open mind - in the early stages of searching for a wedding venue don't rule out a venue to soon. There are so many types and styles of venues around the country let alone just in the East Midlands that you may need an open mind to understand the opportunities each venue offers you
- Visit a few venues - But not too many all at once! - Even if a couple views Sutton Bonington Hall as their first venue and falls in love with it, we would always encourage couples to view another venue or two just to cement your previous feelings. It is such a big decision, we want to ensure you have made the right decision for you. Do spread viewing out over several days though, couples that have visited 6 or 7 venues in one weekend often can't remember what the first venue looked like!
- Come back for a second visit - We always invite couples to arrange a second, or even third viewing, and also you may want to bring parents or a friend on this second visit for a second opinion. Often parents see things slightly differently, and ask different questions, so if you are all agreed on a venue you have probably found the right one!
- Dates - The more flexible you can be with a wedding date, the more opportunity there will be for you to book you favourite venue. We offer to pencil a date to couples for a fortnight to give you time to check that your church or the registrars will be available to marry you, but also to check that your family hasn't got a holiday booked!
- Ask your wedding venue about suppliers - We have a list of suppliers (such as photographers and florists) that have worked at Sutton Bonington Hall in the past. This can be invaluable to our couples as it is far easier to use suppliers who are familiar with your chosen venue. They will already know where the best photo opportunities are, or where your might want flowers without you having to tell them.
