Describe the best wedding that happened at Hopton Court?
It would be impossible to pick one best wedding! We are so fortunate at Hopton to be licensed for marriages in a number of locations around the grounds which means we are able to host so many different styles of wedding. From a church service and traditional sit-down wedding breakfast to vows in the woodland followed by food served under the trees. All individual and all wonderful!
