The Belfry is a very popular venue for Traditional and Hindu weddings. The venue is surrounded by beautiful grounds and water which create stunning backgrounds. Being one of the UK’s top Asian wedding venues, being mindful of traditions, religious beliefs, culture, and heritage.
When previously shooting at this venue I shot both a Civil Ceremony and a Hindu Ceremony. The Civil Ceremony was held in The Cotton Suit which has spectacular views across the PGA National and The Brabazon golf courses and has an uplifting bright and airy ambiance. With large windows that pan around the room allowing natural light to shine through. The Hindu Ceremony was held in The Woodland Suite which has a guest capacity of 400. The Woodland Suite is multifunctional with it being able to provide the perfect location for Hindu Ceremonies and Receptions. Once the Mandap area is cleared it’s the perfect space for a DJ, the chairs are cleared and rearranged with tables and a space for a dance area to continue the celebrations.

What does the Woodland Suite have to offer?
The Woodland Suite at The Belfry is a wedding venue that provides a natural and serene environment for couples to exchange their vows and celebrate their union. It is surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and boasts a panoramic view of the golf course. This suite is designed to be versatile, with a neutral colour scheme and a layout that can accommodate both intimate and grand weddings. It features a large dance floor, a bar, and ample seating for guests. The Woodland Suite also offers a private terrace, where couples can take in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.
How is the Woodland Suite transformed for a Wedding Reception?
As the wedding ceremony comes to an end, the venue's experienced event staff quickly and efficiently transform the Woodland Suite into a lively reception space. The chairs are removed, the dance floor is uncovered, and the bar area is set up, ready for guests to enjoy the festivities. The Woodland Suite's spacious layout and neutral color scheme make it easy to add personal touches and decor to create a unique and memorable reception. From fairy lights and florals to bespoke table settings and centerpieces, the options are endless. The venue's in-house catering team can also provide a range of menu options, from formal sit-down dinners to more relaxed buffets, ensuring that every aspect of the reception is tailored to the couple's individual tastes and preferences.
Here are the top 6 moments we aim to capture during your wedding reception:
First dance: The first dance between the newlyweds is a classic and sentimental moment that should be captured for posterity.
Speeches: Capturing the speeches given by the best man, maid of honor, and other important figures is a great way to preserve the memories of the day.
Candid moments: Don't forget to capture the candid and unscripted moments between the couple, their families, and guests. These spontaneous interactions often make for the most memorable and heartwarming photos.
Decor: The reception venue and decor play a big role in setting the tone for the celebration. Capturing the details, such as the centerpieces, lighting, and overall ambiance will help preserve the memories of the day.
Dancing and partying: Make sure to capture the guests hitting the dance floor and having a great time. These fun, energetic photos will perfectly capture the spirit and atmosphere of the reception.
Not to worry we won’t forget some of the other special moments to capture such as the newly weds grand entrance as Husband and Wife and the intimate cake cutting moment where the couple take the first bite of the beautifully decorated cake!

““Ankit recently photographed our civil wedding and we could not be happier with the results! He was very professional - we barely noticed that he was there during the ceremony and the speeches, but the photos he took were amazing. When our wedding was postponed Ankit was incredibly helpful and even found a videographer for us when we changed our minds about wanting a wedding video. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and look forward to him photographing our hindu ceremony and wedding reception.””
