The Duke’s Head Hotel has been hosting weddings for over 200 years. Located in King’s Lynn old town, the venue is perfect for a wedding of any size.
The historic venue has recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment to restore the building’s original character and elegance.
From small, intimate ceremonies to large, extravagant celebrations, we have three rooms for you to choose from for your civil ceremony. The Vancouver Suite seats up to 40 guests for an intimate ceremony. The suite is sleek and modern design with a few timeless pieces, such as the exquisite chandeliers. Our Nelson room is more traditional in style and can accommodate up to 60 of your closest friends and family. For a much larger affair, the Walpole Ballroom can hold 220 guest for your wedding celebrations.
At the Duke’s Head, we provide an outstanding quality of cuisine for your wedding breakfast. You can choose from our amazing range, or create your own menu. We aim to create a menu that reflects your individual tastes and we can even arrange a tasting session before the big day.
If you choose one of our fantastic wedding packages, our resident DJ will be available to you. With fantastic lighting and sound equipment, they are there throughout the night to keep the party going. Our DJ is happy to take requests and will make sure that all your favourite and important songs are played from the first dance to the last.
When the evening’s festivities draw to a close, you can spend your first night of married life in the luxury of one of our beautiful Bridal Suites. For your guests looking to spend the night, we offer special rates for a range of fantastic rooms.
A personal wedding coordinator will be on hand every step of the way to ensure that your day is everything you want.

    If you do anything on your visit to Kings Lynn, please please please go to Turners at the dukes head. Mark, Lewis, and Ashley are 3 of the nicest people you could ever want to meet, and the food is Michelin Star level. Highly recommend the crab & scallop lasagne, and the Eton mess for dessert.

    Great location in Kings Lynn, close to everything you need. Parking can be a challenge, but that's more of a Kings Lynn problem than a problem for this hotel. Rooms are on the small side and the power outlets are not conveniently placed, but they are well maintained and have a comfy bed. Great value for money here.

    Great central location but building and rooms are tired and in need of maintenance. Service was poor with dirty plates still on tables 2 hours after serving. Car park expensive at £10 a day.

    Really disappointed with the behaviour of the management during our recent stay. We politely asked if we could charge our e-bike anywhere-- they showed us a place we could leave it to charge and we left it there for a few hours, but when we came back it turned out the manager unplugged it almost immediately because he changed his mind. This left us without any means of transport and completely ruined our vacation. It was so careless and cruel that it's kind of shocking. All they had to do was let us know, so we could arrange something else. They refused to even apologize. Bizarre. Avoid if you think you'll have any need to interact with the management, although otherwise it was nice.
