WEDDING VENUES IN ESSEX

Choosing the perfect Essex wedding venue is an exciting part of your wedding planning.
 
There is a huge choice of Essex venues including country manor houses with acres of parkland and landscaped gardens, chic city boutique hotels and town centre locations for intimate weddings and civil ceremonies.
 
Your perfect setting could be in a rustic barn, a castle or a windmill for unique indoor ceremonies or an Instagram-ready outdoor wedding in stunning gardens. 
 
If you are both looking for exclusive use of a venue followed by a full evening reception, or a cosy drinks reception in a garden, there's plenty of charming venues for your dream wedding. Many of these venues offer open days or host wedding fayres, but are always available for a one-to-one personal viewing with a wedding coordinator.
