An Essex Wedding - September/October 2022 (Issue 106)

BRAXTED PARK 01621 770855 | https://braxtedparkweddings.co.uk At the heart of a vast walled estate you’ll find Braxted Park’s magnificent country house and its stunning gardens. Combing elegance and romance throughout its interior, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to saying, ‘I do’. The Orangery exudes romance, with Roman-inspired murals and arched windows that look out over the grounds. Alternatively, during the warmer months, tie the knot outdoors at the heart of the walled garden as your guests soak up the sun. Braxted Park even has its own church, so you could have a religious ceremony just a few minutes away from the house should you wish to. Each option is capable of seating up to 170 guests. When it comes to receptions, The Pavilion is perfectly equipped for parties both large and small. This versatile space offers plenty of room for up to 350 guests and comes with neutral décor so you can truly make it your own. The in-house catering team are on hand to create some spectacular menus for your special day, while come evening, a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system and huge dance floor ensures you can enjoy yourselves long into the night. Psst ! The Garden Cottage really stands out and offers couples the perfect place to retire to after a day of celebrating, while loved ones can enjoy a relaxing night’s stay just a few steps from the Pavilion, too. THE CANARY SHED 01621 786503 | www.thecanaryshed.co.uk The Canary Shed is a restored traditional Essex black barn with a rustic but modern interior so that couples can add their own personal touches, making the venue unique to them. Located on a farm with views of the River Crouch, it boasts easy access to the nearby town of Burnham on Crouch and the Saltmarsh Coast Trail. You don’t even have to worry about somewhere to stay, as The Canary Shed has six self-catering converted barns and two hotel-style rooms with en-suite facilities for you and your guests to enjoy, sleeping up to 30 in total. While The Canary Shed can hold up to 120 guests, you can be legally married in front of up to 80 of your friends and family for legal ceremonies and sit-down meals. Taking place outside under a gazebo in the venue’s courtyard area, you can also choose an indoor ceremony in The Granary Barn, which can accommodate up to 30. All receptions are then held in The Canary Shed which can be set up by couples the day before, be it for a formal sit-down feast or a more relaxed buffet or festival-style reception. Opening out on to the courtyard area, it’s the perfect space for photos and reception drinks. www.flemingphoto.co.uk https://mattwing.co.uk/ www.flemingphoto.co.uk https://mattwing.co.uk/ 26
