Easily Browse Wedding Venues in Essex

In the Southeast of England, Essex is one of the most popular spots in the country for civil marriages. This is partially down to the number of venues on offer as well as stunning countryside, rolling hills, and much more. In Essex, you'll find shopping and spas, as well as plenty of historical sites and Britain's oldest recorded town, Colchester.

A Wealth of Eclectic Options in the Heart of Essex

The venues in Essex include many historic houses, a century-old windmill, an authentic old-style cinema, England's tallest Tudor Gatehouse, and even a secret bar. Of course, couples can also choose Essex wedding venues like golf and country clubs, inns, halls, and even restaurants for those planning smaller celebrations. There's something in Essex for every couple.

Questions That Will Make Your Choice Easier

Choosing between Essex wedding venues isn't always easy, but if you take a step-by-step approach you'll find the ideal venue in no time. The first thing you'll need to do is research venues to find the ones you like best. Next, reach out to your favourite ones to ask whether they're available on your wedding date. If they're already booked, are you willing to be flexible? Or is your wedding date non-negotiable? From there, you'll need to schedule walk-throughs of each of the available wedding venues.

Finding time for all of these site visits can be tough, but touring wedding venues in Essex will be an important item on your to-do list. Your venue may determine which vendors you can use, how large your wedding guest list can be, and what the look and feel of your celebration will be. Seeing venues in person will also help you make your final decision.

5.0 out of 5 rating

Absolutely stunning! My wedding at Lakeview Marquee was nothing short of magical, and it was all thanks to the incredible team there. From the start, the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, making the entire planning process feel effortless and enjoyable. The service was simply outstanding – the team anticipated our needs, personalized every moment, and genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. The venue itself is breathtaking, with a gorgeous view of the lake that created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. We received countless compliments from guests on the ambiance and the seamless flow of the event. The catering was divine, with a menu that delighted every palate, and the setup was elegant, sophisticated, and exactly what we envisioned.

We haven’t had our wedding yet but we are very happy with our service from The Boundary so far! The venue is beautiful yet a blank canvas to tailor to our needs and style preferences and we can’t wait to add our touches for our special day! Charlotte has been great at helping us achieve and plan our dream day, allowing a bespoke menu to stick on theme! She has also supplied a really handy guide with everything we need to know and help us plan!

5 stars all round for this INCREDIBLE venue! We had our wedding here and I cannot shout loud enough, just how amazing the team are. Taz & her team were relentless and so attentive the night of the wedding and provided fantastic service! Rebecca helped coordinate the BEST day and was so laid back and relaxed and helped us have the wedding day we dreamed of! The venue itself is just out of this world! Considering it’s on our doorstep, hardly anyone knew about it and all were amazed at just how stunning it is! I can’t wait to come back for other events the venue run! Accommodation was also fantastic. Our family stayed here the night of the wedding and could not fault it one bit. Clean, tidy and a lovely home from home! Thank you so so much from everyone at Great Lodge!!!

5.0 out of 5 rating

We had our wedding at Tuffon Hall in June 2024 and it was beyond incredible. From the initial show round, and through months of planning, Sarah the wedding Coordinator was absolutely amazing. She always responded so quickly and was happy to help with any request and really helped us bring our ideas to life. I felt like I built a really personal relationship with her and I didn’t feel at all like I was one of many weddings. Sarah was there to help us set up the day before and made sure everything was just as we wanted. The actual wedding also ran incredibly smoothly and the venue was the perfect setting. Ideal indoor space, as well as beautiful outdoor areas. The farm house and cottage are also ideal for getting ready and staying over. Overall, an absolutely incredible and beautiful wedding venue and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

We got married at mulberry house Friday 24th may 2024! It was the only venue I looked at and the grounds alone were enough for me to marry here. From start to finish it was perfect. From Jo in the sales team to Chloe the wedding planner then Claire and Jo on the day I have no faults. Honestly if you’re considering mulberry house I’d go for it. They made all my dreams and more come true. I used all the recommend supplier too. They only go with the best. Thank you mulberry house for making my wedding the best day ever!

Chloe

5.0 out of 5 rating

For their first wedding as a business, we were amazed at how faultless and smooth running everything was. We owe so much to Patsy, Zoe, Roy and all the family. The venue was one of the most peaceful and beautiful places I’ve ever seen. To see Patsy and Zoe work together to make our day as perfect as can be, was truly inspirational as a woman. The venue was so accommodating for all of our dogs. The administration that this required prior to the day, was not a simple task, but they never made it seem like anything was too much. I cannot thank everyone enough. Roy, thank you for your woodwork skills, to make our woodland ceremony the wedding of dreams. I would recommend this location over and over again.
