Apton Hall 07.09.24 - A fairytale wedding

I cannot recommend Apton Hall as a wedding venue enough. My husband and I got married here on Saturday 7th September and it felt like a fairy-tale dream.

The venue itself is located in the quaint countryside of Rochford and it was the perfect venue to host our family and friends. The interior decoration throughout is really thought-out and elegant. I feel that something that stands out about this venue is that you really can do exactly what you want with it and each wedding there looks completely unique.

I cannot recommend Apton Hall as a wedding venue enough. My husband and I got married here on Saturday 7th September and it felt like a fairy-tale dream.

The venue itself is located in the quaint countryside of Rochford and it was the perfect venue to host our family and friends. The interior decoration throughout is really thought-out and elegant. I feel that something that stands out about this venue is that you really can do exactly what you want with it and each wedding there looks completely unique. The layout makes a lot of sense for hosting, the barn-style wooden beams are beautiful and stylish, the courtyard allows for this central feel to the wedding, the accommodation is extremely well designed, contemporary and comfortable. It has a rustic yet modern feel to it. We had an outdoor wedding which we were so happy about.

The staff- honestly, the service was on another level. We worked with Hayley to plan the event and she was superb, super efficient, professional, easy to contact, offered great flexible advice and has so much experience. A really friendly and kind person. We had Emma and Lily managing our event on the day and it felt so lovely to have these great people around us. They were really calm, super kind and extremely professional. There was no question they couldn't answer and they ensured our day went smoothly. The staff serving us and the guests throughout the day were flawless. We had so many compliments from our guests as to how attentive they were, topping up drinks, going the extra mile to call people by their names and our close friends, who have extensive dietary requirements and allergies felt super relaxed because they said that the servers would acknowledge, that their meal was, for example, 'gluten free' as they were setting the meal down, so our friends said that they didn't feel that they needed to double check anything. My friends said they had never experienced that before!

They really think of everything- like sending up a plate of your wedding cake up to the honeymoon suite for the end of the night and supporting you to be in the right place at the right time in a lovely calm way throughout the day. Everything was incredibly organised and we felt like we could truly relax because we were in such good hands.

We will forever be grateful to the staff at Apton Hall for making our wedding day so memorable, stress-free and beautiful.

The most magical day

From the minute we walked into Apton Hall we knew the place was amazing. From the beautiful buildings and courtyard to the delicious food the staff here go above and beyond to ensure you have the perfect day. The flexibility that the venue allows and the fine details they go through to make sure everything runs smoothly is truly outstanding. Everyone is so friendly and you can see the management and staff all love their job. I cannot recommend this venue enough and the wonderful people who work here. If you’re looking to put your own spin on your special day with beautiful surroundings and staff who are exceptional at their job then look no further.

Wedding 30th December 2024

Thank you so much Hayley, Josh, Emma and the Apton Hall team for making our day so special. We had the best day and have received great feedback from friends and family.
The food was amazing, big portions and great quality, all served on time. The venue was nicely decorated for Christmas, and the Apton hall team were so welcoming to not only us, but all our guests.

We recently got married at Apton Hall, and we cannot express enough how absolutely amazing the entire experience was. From the stunning venue to the seamless coordination, everything exceeded our expectations. A huge thank you to the dedicated staff who went above and beyond to make our day truly special. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made all the difference, and we felt completely taken care of. We’re so grateful for everything and can’t recommend Apton Hall highly enough!

Christmas Wedding - December 2024

It’s hard to know where to begin as there are not enough superlatives to describe our experience with Apton Hall.

I make no apologies for saying the staff - top to bottom, absolutely make this venue.

From the outset of our wedding journey with the Apton Hall team, we felt valued, listened to and above all cared about.

The quality of the venue, the food and the drinks were simply outstanding. Almost all of our guests commented that this was the best wedding breakfast food they had ever eaten.

However, the ultimate compliment was that all of our guests commented on the quality and professionalism of the staff on the day...

Thank you does not do justice for how we feel and I have no hesitation in the slightest in recommending Apton Hall for anyone thinking of choosing this outstanding venue for their special day.

Beautiful Venue. Fantastic Food. Helpful Staff.

Lovely, rustic venue with a modern touch.
Beautiful on site accommodation. Nice surroundings.
A nice flow through the different rooms within the venue that works well for the day.
Hayley/Lauren were brilliant and responsive in the lead up to the wedding.
Answered queries and questions that had probably been asked by us many times.
On the day, the team were helpful and set up the venue beautifully.
There's an on site dressing room you can access from 8.30am. It worked but was perhaps a little clunky when moving from the dressing room to the Dovecot at 11:30.

We had a few concerns which we reported after the day, which were handled in a reassuring and professional manner by the wedding coordinators.
Would recommend. Worked well in the wet weather.

September Wedding

All the team at Apton Hall are very helpful and accommodating.
From booking initially to the day itself the whole process was easy considering the amount of details that need clarifying.
Our day was perfect and couldn't have imagined it better, thank you all so much.
