Norfolk’s Coastal Wedding Venues
With its expansive blue skies and breathtaking coastlines, Norfolk stands out as one of the UK’s most picturesque regions for weddings. The county boasts over 90 miles of diverse coastline, from serene salt marshes to vast sandy beaches, offering a stunning backdrop for any celebration. As spring welcomes in warmer days, it’s the perfect time to explore some of Norfolk’s finest coastal wedding venues. Here are three fantastic coastal venues where I’ve had the pleasure of capturing couples’ special moments.
Briarfields hotel, Titchwell
Nestled in the tranquil village of Titchwell, Briarfields Hotel offers panoramic views over the salt marshes towards the sea. This venue combines rustic charm with modern elegance, accommodating up to 140 dinner guests and up to 350 for a drinks reception. For those seeking an exclusive experience, the hotel is available for private hire.
Photography Tip: Utilise the hotel’s expansive outdoor spaces during the golden hour. The soft, warm light enhances the natural beauty of the salt marshes, creating a romantic ambiance for portraits.

Titchwell Manor Hotel
Situated opposite the expansive sandy beaches of North Norfolk, Titchwell Manor Hotel is a boutique venue known for its bespoke wedding experiences. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, the hotel’s dedicated team collaborates with you to tailor every detail. With 28 individually designed bedrooms, some featuring jacuzzis and hot tubs, your guests are assured a luxurious stay.
Photography Tip: Incorporate the nearby sandy beaches into your photo sessions. The open landscapes and reflective waters provide a serene setting, especially during sunrise or sunset!

Cley Windmill
For a truly unique backdrop, Cley Windmill in the village of Cley-next-the-Sea offers an enchanting setting. This historic windmill provides a unique atmosphere for ceremonies, with the round Dining Room licensed for weddings. The walled garden is perfect for drinks and canapés, and the proximity to the shingle beach allows for the most beautiful photographic opportunities.
Photography Tip: Capture the windmill’s silhouette against the vast Norfolk sky during twilight. The contrast between the historic structure and the vibrant hues of the setting sun creates a captivating image!
