Last update: November 2024

Crondon Park is a historic wedding venue located in Stock, Essex's beautiful and peaceful countryside, offering exclusive use for grand affairs. This award-winning setting is a fine example of 17th-century architecture, with its Jacobean barn providing a truly unique atmosphere. Set in the picturesque surroundings of Stock Valley, this secluded property is the ideal space for a peaceful country wedding.

Facilities and Capacity

The Baronial Suite is the beating heart of Crondon Park, bursting with character, charm, and stunning staging areas. The Ryder Room is the designated civil ceremony space overlooking the estate's beautiful gardens. Outside, a gorgeous floral canopy provides a romantic amphitheatre-style setting for summer nuptials. The Baronial Hall is the main function room, embracing an authentic Tudor barn aesthetic. The room features a rare Rosewood floor beneath provocative light oak timber beams. The effect is one of dignified splendour that celebrates its centuries-old roots. From here, couples will have private access to a beautiful half-acre garden where they take those all-important photographs. A full-stocked bar opens out to the hall, with an external seating area available just beside. All three sites share themed lighting that can be adjusted to match the chosen colour scheme. To-be-weds will also have use of the Willows, a lockable room with toilet facilities attached to the Ryder Room. Thirty yards from the property awaits the get-ready suite, complete with a four-poster bed, lounge area, multiple mirrors, and prime lighting. A luxury selection of comfortable suites, with an outdoor patio and garden, are also available for guests to retire.

New to the venue we are able to offer for night before accommodation, located separately from the Baronial Hall. It can sleep up to 8 people, has 2 dressing tables and private patio, allowing the bridal party to prepare themselves prior to the ceremony. For accommodation on the night of the wedding, we have a Bridal Suite with private courtyard and parking, as well as 5 guest rooms within the main building.

A wedding venue that will go the extra mile for you!

In terms of the beauty of crondon park you can see for yourself...

But the care of the people that work there were unbelievable. Honestly, nothing is too much for them. You are paying a lot to get married (anywhere!) but somehow most people still feel embarrassed to ask lots of questions or things they don't understand. Crondon never made us feel bad for asking questions and clarifying things, asking for adjustments and just being reassuring.

They were so helpful on the lead up, everything was clear and on the day they were faultless. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone!

We had 103 guests so on the higher side and it was still plenty of space.

The food was also incredible!

The BEST wedding venue!

We couldn’t not send in a review after our magical day in October. Crondon Park is just phenomenal at what they do - creating beautiful and memorable wedding days. From the very first visit, we knew Crondon was the place for us. The rustic barn feel was everything we wanted, coupled with the fairy lights draped across the wooden beams and it was perfect!
The food is incredible and all of our guests (and us) felt so looked after from morning til night. We opted for the cocktail hour too which is ABSOLUTELY worth it. The team mixing and serving were just brilliant and so welcoming. Jo, our front of house manager was just fantastic. She genuinely went above and beyond to make sure everything ran so smoothly which is something I’ve heard from multiple guests since the day. She has such a calm and friendly nature and was just outstanding at organising the details of the day. Walking into the venue dressed for the first time was magical - it was everything we dreamed of.

Crondon Park is truly an 5 star wedding venue. From the stunning venue, outstanding service from all team and delicious food - I couldn’t recommend a place more to celebrate the most special day.

Crondon Park is truly a magical wedding venue, offering an exceptional experience from start to finish. The picturesque grounds and stunning Baronial Hall provide the perfect backdrop for both the ceremony and the reception. The venue is beautifully maintained, blending a rustic charm with modern touches that make every moment feel special. From the first moment we stepped in we knew that this was where we wanted to get married.

The food at Crondon Park is absolutely outstanding. The menu is crafted with care, offering a wide variety of dishes that are both beautifully presented and delicious. From the canapés to the wedding breakfast, every course exceeded expectations, with guests raving about the quality and flavor. The attention to detail in the catering was clear, ensuring that even dietary requirements were thoughtfully addressed.

What truly sets Crondon Park apart, though, is the exceptional service. Jo, our front-of-house manager, was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Her professionalism, warmth, and tireless support were invaluable throughout the day. Jo's calm demeanor and attention to every detail ensured that we could relax and enjoy the celebration without a single worry. The entire team was attentive and accommodating, making the day truly unforgettable.

In terms of planning, the support we received leading up to the wedding was fantastic. The team at Crondon Park was incredibly helpful and responsive, always ready to answer questions and offer guidance. They made the entire planning process stress-free, ensuring that every aspect of the day was meticulously organized.

Overall, Crondon Park is a top-tier wedding venue. With its beautiful setting, outstanding food, and remarkable service—especially Jo’s incredible dedication—it's a place that will make your special day everything you dreamed of and more. Highly recommended!

Mr & Mr Arnold Gregory

The most stunning venue with the most incredible staff. We honestly could be here all day saying how amazing Crondon Park is. The staff were amazing from when we first booked to even now. There wasn’t anything they wouldn’t help with and they would answer question we had. Our front of house Kayleigh was absolutely incredible. She made our day go so smooth and honestly we will never be able to find the words to thank her enough. The food was amazing and all of our guests said the same. We are so glad we chose Crondon for our wedding and we would do it there again if we could!! Thank you all so much for the best experience and the most amazing wedding day. We’ll see you again at one of your date nights!

The wedding was absolutely perfect to us!

I can not praise the whole team at Crondon Park enough! From the first interaction to the days after the wedding Jo and her team were professional and always around. No tasks were too big or too small and no questions were to silly to ask. The support and guidance given during the planning made sure that the day was everything I wanted. From the canapés, 3 course meal and reception buffet our guest were left with satisfied smiles and empty plates!
The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and every setting was a photo opportunity.
I can not imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

Stunning in every way!

We fell in love instantly with Crondon Park and were not disappointed at all on our big day with our decision to have our wedding here. Everything leading up to the big day was relaxed and professional, the night before the wedding we stayed in the Lilly suite and it was extremely comfortable and clean. The breakfast on the wedding day was insanely good and catered to the dietary needs of some of my bridesmaids. The venue was set up beautifully and exactly how I wanted and more. Everything ran smoothly and if there where any issues they where handled without anyone knowing. The bridal suite was also amazing wish i could have stayed there longer. I would have loved to have a bit of a lazier morning after the wedding day but the venue is in high demand so understand why we had to be out by 10 but would love that to be an option to have a slightly later “check out” time for 11am or noon. Cannot wait to go back for one of their dinner events as the food is delicious as well! The chefs are real pro’s. Carly our organiser, you where a dream and thank you to you and all the staff for our beyond amazing wedding. Cannot thank you enough for everything.

The best day ever

As soon as we came to look round Crondon Park we knew it was our venue and we cancelled our other viewings. We had our wedding here last Friday and it was amazing. The staff were so great in the run up to the wedding and on the day, answering all our questions, setting up the venue for us in the morning, and making sure the day ran seamlessly. All our guests commented on how stunning the venue is and how good the food was, many guests have said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. The rooms are really comfy as well. We are so so glad that we chose Crondon Park for our wedding and would recommend it to anyone. Thank you!

Amazing venue, excellent staff.

We had our big day! Us and our guests absolutely loved the grounds, rooms, facilities and food at Crondon Park. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Events team, every single one of them were amazing, especially Kara and Carly, we appreciate all that you have done for us leading up to the wedding and on the day, you're both super stars! Our wedding was very diverse and Crondon Park were able to be flexible with us in terms of respecting/accommodating the diverse religions and cultures we had mixing. Be rest assured, the food here is delicious, we are massive foodies, all our courses were top notch and we had many compliments on the food from our guests. Thank you for helping us create our dream wedding.

Thank you Crondon Park! 11/10

Thank you Crondon Park! We couldn't have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment guests started arriving we had people coming up to us telling us what a beautiful venue we'd chosen and everyone raved about how tasty the food was, most notably the duck. We'd like to thank Tracey, in particular, and everyone who assisted at Crondon Park for all of your hard work. It was a long day for you all, but we couldn't fault your professionalism nor would we change a single detail! If we could, we'd return in a heartbeat to relive it all over again. Lots of post-wedding love, Sam and Becky xxx

Dreams come true

What an amazing place the reviews, the pictures just don’t do it enough justice this is definitely the best barn venue in Essex! Jo went out of her way to make my day run smooth and I will be forever grateful. Whatever questions I asked Jo or Fiona they always said yes and made everything happen they took so much stress away and as a bride you definitely need that. The team at Crondon are all perfectionists and they deliver everything to the final detail and that was comments coming from my guests so as a bride what more could you ask for? They gave me a wedding more than I could have ever have wished for and me and my husband will be forever grateful x

Amazing venue

Booked Crondon via zoom during covid and even then we knew it was the one! What a special place. We loved our day and everyone even a week later have mentioned how amazing the staff was! The meal service and the organisation of the entire day! We even saw some selfies with the waiting staff! The food was incredible and we still get comments on how amazing the meal was. Tracey was a GODSEND. She made the entire day smooth running and we couldn't have done it without her. My maid of honour is a wedding planner and she even said it was spectacular from a wedding planners point of view. It was truly the best day of our lives all thanks to the staff at Crondon. It will remain a place dear to our hearts.

A perfect day

Crondon park was the most amazing wedding venue. The staff were incredible, setting up everything exactly how I wanted so I didn’t have to worry about it myself, answering a million questions I had and giving me the best ‘front of house’ lady to oversee the entire day and make sure everything went perfectly. The food was insane and they were so helpful with all our guests dietary requirements.

The best day of our lives

Wow, what can we say, we had the best day. Originally booked in August 2019 and postponed twice both July 20 + 21. March was our next date and oh how lucky where we, 17 degrees and full blue sky and sunshine. Crondon you did us proud from our first visit back in August 19, through all the cancellations and questions we had you were there for us. The day Tracey and the team were on it. The food was amazing, the feedback from our guests was amazing. The grounds for photo's amazing... "just amazing" Breakfast the next morning yep amazing. Thank you so so much for the best day of our lives.

Special Place for a Special Day

The Crondon Park team made sure we had a day to remember. They guided us, never made us feel like we asked too many questions, or feel like we were one of a stream of couples. They made us feel special and excited. We and our guests had such an incredible day. Our guests raved about the food. Children were safe to run in the walled garden so parents could relax - and no one fell in the fountain! People were captivated by the venue. The Baronial Hall was cosy and intimate, and then became a great space for people to dance and throw some shapes. It was idyllic, rustic and romantic. It really was a perfect day. Thank you Crondon Park

The best there is!

I cannot thank all the girls at Crondon Park enough for making our day so special.

Our wedding had to be hastily moved forward from the 5th to 4th November due to the lockdown, and to say the the service we received was incredible would be an understatement; they even managed to make us last minute cupcakes! Nothing is ever too much for the girls at Crondon.

The bridal suite is stunning, my girls absolutely LOVED their stay and it was so perfect for us all to get ready in. The venue itself is beautiful and was exactly what we wanted for our rustic theme. I would recommend to any bride.

I feel so so lucky that we will get to relive this day again for our Reception in July 2021 and get to see the beautiful venue in a summer setting, we wouldn't want to have it anywhere else.

Faultless service, beautiful venue, and one of a kind ladies running the show - what more could a girl ask for.

Thank you for giving us a day dreams are made of.

Love Mr & Mrs Crossfield xxx
