The listed farmhouse at Houchins dates back to 1623 and has been beautifully and sympathetically restored to offer maximum comfort for couples & their wedding party to enjoy. The formally landscaped wedding garden has been cleverly planted to show interest all year including white roses, verbena, tulips and much more. Beyond the garden is the woodland area for woodland weddings fronted by the recently renovated pond and fountain providing an elegant arrival.

The Main Barn known as the Grain Store incorporates a large, open fireplace and mezzanine gallery to make full use of the 35-foot-high ceilings with glass doors overlooking the garden & terrace. The Grain Store is centrally located between the bar and dance barn helping your evening flow.

Charlie and Alice met on Hinge during lockdown and had their first date the day the pubs reopened. What a day that was! Charlie was attracted to Alice's sense of humour, smile and love of sport. Alice was attracted to Charlie's handsome smile and the fact he also happened to be a Chelsea FC fan. Post lockdown the pair moved to New York and worked and breathed city life there for 13 months. A Stateside wedding was out of the question, as the pair wanted to invite all of their nearest and dearest – which couldn't be attained the other side of the Atlantic. Alice Foster-Nagel married Charlie Nagel at Hedingham Castle on 7th September 2024.

Through the power of social media, Louise and Paul found each other. Louise remembers, “We both felt really comfortable in each other's company from day one. The proposal was a complete surprise as when I met him, he was very anti marriage due to his past experience.” Louise must have made quite the impression and on 7th August 2024, Louise and Paul became Mr and Mrs at The Compasses at Pattiswick.

Vadim was the keyboard player of the worldwide metal band Dragonforce, famous for fast heavy music and featured in Guitar Hero III and Despicable Me 4 movie - Natalie was a fan of the band. The couple met at a Dragonforce concert where Natalie was photographing the show, and Vadim noticed her in the crowd and thought she was naturally beautiful and stood out. After meeting at the end of the show they fell in love very fast and had the, 'when you know, you know' feeling. Natalie was already a fan and had posters of the band on her wall as a teenager, so she was really surprised that her crush noticed her and was interested in her. Today, the pair have been married 10 years and have two daughters. Their love is stronger than ever and having not had a big wedding then, decided now was the time to renew their vows and have a huge celebration. On 2nd November 2024 they did just that at East Mersea Hall.
