A Classic and Timeless Wedding at Pentney Abbey, Norfolk
The Ultimate Guide to Our Dream Wedding at Pentney Abbey
Planning a wedding is a magical journey filled with love, joy, and countless decisions. We are thrilled to share our love story, wedding details, and expert tips to inspire other couples as they prepare for their special day!
Our Love Story: From Racehorses to Romance
We met in Newmarket while working with racehorses, bonding over our shared passion for these magnificent animals. From early morning stable runs to late-night race preparations, our connection grew stronger each day—and the rest is history! Our proposal was an intimate and unforgettable moment—at 6 AM on Thurlestone Beach in Devon, over BBQ bacon sandwiches in our pyjamas.
Finding the Perfect Wedding Venue
When we drove up the driveway of Pentney Abbey, it stole our hearts immediately! After viewing around 7–8 venues, we canceled the rest of our appointments because we knew Pentney Abbey was the one.
Our Wedding Theme & Style
We embraced a floral-inspired theme with a blue colour palette and a less is more approach to styling. Our vision was elegant, romantic, and timeless.
