2nd marriages at Seckford Hall

Wedding experts have produced reams of advice on wedding planning for first time couples, but much less so about remarriage. Nevertheless, second and third marriages are more common than ever before.

Issues such as etiquette, ceremony options and blending families are all frequently asked questions by the 2nd time around bride.

At Seckford Hall Hotel, just outside Woodbridge, Sonia Colchester who plans and co-ordinates all the weddings at the Hall, commented that 2nd marriages were becoming more usual and that the bride and groom wanted to celebrate in the same way as if it was their first time around. Until the Civil Ceremonies were introduced a few years ago, 2nd time marriages had very little option but to get married in a registry office. Now the bride and groom can get married in beautiful surroundings and have much more choice of how to spend their day.

Seckford Hall has been hosting weddings for generations and offers the most amazing setting for your special day. The commanding Tudor hotel set in 34 acres of private Suffolk countryside boasts the most splendid gardens and an idyllic lake. With regards to 2 nd or event 3 rd marriages the hotel will make sure that all your needs are taken care of. Sonia commented, “We find that people embarking upon their 2nd marriage often want a more intimate wedding and invite only close family and friends, our facilities lend themselves beautifully for this. We can cater for the larger party in our Lakeside Suite, which holds 120 people, or we can arrange a smaller wedding still using the Lakeside but designing the room with more of an intimate feel. Mid-week weddings are also becoming very popular for the smaller wedding, and enjoy the benefit of reduced rate venue hire and the ability to book multiple room bookings for one night which is ideal for the intimate family gathering.”

There are still a few dates available for this year and the hotel is happy to show you and your family around the hotel and its facilities.
