Discover YOUR Wedding Style
​
Finding the perfect wedding venue is likely to be at the top of any newly engaged couple’s list. With the venue playing a vital role in the success of your day, it’s the big decision you really need to get right and we think we have the right venue you've just been looking for...
​
Imagine arriving by a vintage bus or a coach-built automobile and the charm of a marriage ceremony in our waiting room on the platform where your own 'private train' will pull in to take you and your guests gently through the delightful countryside to enjoy your very special wedding Afternoon Tea on board ... a wonderfully unique experience for you and your guests to treasure forever.
The scenery, the sights, the sounds and smells are all evocative of a time long passed. Our traditional 1950's station has a wedding suite that will comfortably seat 47 people. After your ceremony you can enjoy Norfolk's beautiful scenery from our heritage coaches whilst enjoying a glass of champagne. On your return you could enjoy a hot or cold buffet reception for all of your guests. We aim to make your day a truly memorable occasion and we guarantee you a warm welcome. We can tailor your wedding package to your requirements.
From the day you book your wedding with us until the day of the ceremony itself, you will have the services of a dedicated Weddings Co-ordinator who will be happy to discuss with you those individual requirements that will make your wedding day extra special.
