Full Description
Situated in the quaint village of Banham, one of Norfolk’s best-kept secrets Applewood Hall offers an undeniably unique wedding venue for your special day.
Once the grounds of the Grove Farm orchard, Applewood Hall served as the store during the harvest season. Now an elegantly decorated entertaining space, it offers a licensed bar, dance floor, stage and seating for up to 200 guests. Applewood Hall is a harmonious combination of rustic charm and contemporary style.
Accommodation is available onsite with six luxury-styled glamping pods providing the perfect retreat after a long night on the dancefloor. Spacious caravan and camping pitches with electric hook-up are also offered allowing you and your guests to retire to your very own patch of the countryside.
And if that wasn’t enough, Applewood Hall is located next to Banham Zoo, Norfolk's award-winning family attraction, so if you fancied something a little bit different whether it’s a giraffe feeding experience, a ceremony within the zoo grounds or photos with some of the stunning animals – anything is possible!

We can't recommend Applewood Hall highly enough!
My wife and I stuck to our guns and battled some very tough circumstances and decisions! Kiera Goymour the wedding planner and owner of Applewood Hall took so much pressure off of myself and Amy. Yes, we had a reduced numbers wedding but it was as special as a full sized wedding would have been. If anyone is looking for a venue where the wedding planner makes the whole journey enjoyable, I literally can't recommend Applewood Hall highly enough.

We couldn’t recommend Applewood more if we tried
Myself and my partner got married on the 10th October, and Kiera and the venue couldn’t have been better!! Kiera kept us up to date throughout it all, let me email and ring her with all my stupid questions and was so thoughtful throughout everything!
We got married in the Oak Rooms which is the smaller room, due to having a COVID ‘micro’ wedding but it still couldn’t have been more amazing. The room is decorated really lovely, and has the most beautiful wooden beams which look so magical. It was all run so smoothly too - I knew regardless of how nervous I was on the day, Kiera would have it all in hand.
The area around Applewood and the Oak Rooms is absolutely gorgeous, which was just perfect for the photos we wanted. We couldn’t recommend Applewood more if we tried.
Thank you for making our micro-magic happen ♥️

Thank you for such a wonderful day!
Thank you for such a wonderful day yesterday. It wouldn't have been possible without you and your hard work. We really appreciate all the effort you've gone to over the past few months with your reassuring words, calming ways and hopefulness. Our day may not have been what we planned but the ceremony and the short time afterwards was very lovely, very informal and so very relaxed.

It was the day we dreamed of!
We had our wedding reception at Applewood Hall on Saturday 28th September 2019. We had the best day, everything ran so smoothly and the venue was perfect for what we needed and wanted. Kiera was very helpful in the run up to the wedding, answering any question I had big or small and offering us advice. Dawn did a fab job with the food, it was delicious and she even made us a yummy cheesecake wedding cake. The staff were all professional and helped the day run smoothly. We would highly recommend Applewood as a wedding venue and cannot thank Kiera and her team enough for making it the day we dreamed of. Thank you for everything!

Applewood Hall is beautiful
I recently had my wedding reception at Applewood Hall and couldn’t fault it. It’s a beautiful enclosed hall with everything you need in one space, which is brilliant if you have children. The DJ and dance floor is set out in the middle of the hall which is fantastic to get people up and dancing. The food was delicious with a good quantity for each course. I would definitely recommend Applewood Hall if you are planning your wedding, I felt it kept the whole wedding party together, kept the children in sight and safe even in the enclosed garden, the hall is already beautiful so doesn’t need much adding to it and the staff are polite and friendly and the food is really good, so if you're planning on getting married I would definitely keep Applewood Hall in mind!

5*?... More like 10*!
My husband and I had our reception at Applewood Hall on the 10th August and just wow, wow, and wow! 5*?... More like 10*! Kiera and her team are absolutely fantastic! Dawn, the food was spectacular! I have never seen such professionalism in one place. Nothing was ever too big a job and every single detail was done with the biggest smile. From the very beginning right up until the end, Kiera was there at the end of a message, email, phone to help with anything. A remarkable wedding planner, yes, but definitely now a friend too. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
It's YOUR day, so don't be afraid to be a bit selfish when it comes to things like your menu choices, drink selection and seating plans. Prefer to have canapés during your drinks reception rather than a starter, why not! If you want a big, gooey chocolate dessert, go for it! If you'd prefer to have a classic G&T rather than bubbles for the toast, do it! If you want the seating to be more informal with no seating plan, be bold! These small things will help your day feel special and unique to you.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
We had a lovely couple this year that had the brilliant idea of a personalised festival band to tie the napkin on each place setting, which they encouraged everyone to wear on their wrist once they'd sat down. It made everyone feel apart of their day and really worked with their outdoorsy, festival-chic vibe.
