30 years ago we were licensed for civil ceremonies….
Meet Lara – Your Civil Ceremony Co-ordinator at Thurning Hall, Norfolk.
At Thurning Hall, one of the most romantic wedding venues in Norfolk, your civil ceremony is personally overseen by Lara, our dedicated civil ceremony co-ordinator. As the venue’s licensed ceremony holder, Lara ensures your wedding is tailored to your vision—whether you’re dreaming of an elegant indoor ceremony in our Georgian Drawing Room or a magical outdoor wedding in our walled gardens.
On your wedding day, Lara works seamlessly with the Norfolk Registration Team, acting as the key liaison between you and the registrars. She will:
Advise on the best way to create your perfect, personalised ceremony
Coordinate with registrars to ensure full compliance with licensing regulations
Organise witnesses and manage the ceremony schedule
Maintain a calm, supportive atmosphere so you can relax and enjoy the moment
Once your vows are exchanged, Lara leaves you to celebrate in style—whether that’s a marquee wedding on our Norfolk parkland, a tipi reception in the gardens, or an intimate gathering inside our historic hall.
If you’d like extra assistance with your Norfolk wedding reception, Lara can recommend trusted wedding planners and on-the-day coordinators who specialise in marquee weddings, garden receptions, and bespoke celebrations. Whether you need full event planning or just support on the day, she’ll point you toward the right professionals to bring your vision to life.
With Lara’s expertise, your Thurning Hall wedding will be beautifully organised, stress-free, and truly unforgettable.
