    Venue Specialist Tip No. 1: Narrow down your favourite wedding locations in Essex.

    If you’re on the hunt for your perfect Essex wedding venue, narrowing down your favourite locations is a great place to start. Colchester, for instance, is a charming town full of history and character, with stunning wedding venues such as grand manor houses and rustic barns set in picturesque countryside surroundings. Brentwood, on the other hand, is a popular wedding destination for its luxurious hotel venues that offer a mix of traditional elegance and modern sophistication.

    Here are some tips to help you:

    • Consider the style of wedding you want and what location will best suit it. Do you dream of a fairytale wedding in a castle or a bohemian ceremony in a garden?
    • Think about your guest list and whether the venue is easily accessible for everyone. Is there accommodation nearby or on-site for your guests who are travelling from afar?

    By narrowing down your favourite locations in Essex and considering these important factors, you can find the perfect wedding venue that ticks all the boxes for your dream day. To learn more about the wedding venues in Colchester, Brentwood and other Essex locations, speak to one of our local Venue Specialists today.

    Venue Specialist Tip No. 2: Consider Essex hotel wedding venues with on-site accommodation for your guests.

    If you’re planning a wedding in Essex, one option to consider is a hotel wedding venue with on-site accommodation. This can make it easier for your guests, allowing them to relax and enjoy the celebration without worrying about transportation. Here are some hotel wedding venues in Essex that offer on-site accommodation:

    • Layer Marney Tower: This historic wedding venue in Colchester boasts two private apartments in the main house and six glamping tents in the woods for your guests to stay in. The Tower Suite, located at the top of the tower, is perfect for the bride and groom with its stunning views of the Essex countryside. 
    • Greenwoods Hotel & Spa: This stunning 17th-century restored manor house in Stock is surrounded by beautiful gardens and offers 39 rooms and suites for your guests. The hotel’s spa and health club are perfect for pre-wedding pampering. 
    • Prested Hall: This elegant boutique wedding venue in Colchester offers 20 stylish bedrooms for your guests, as well as a health club and spa. The venue’s beautiful grounds provide a picturesque setting for your wedding photos.

    When considering your options for wedding venues in Essex, be sure to ask about on-site accommodation and other amenities to make the planning process as smooth as possible.

     

    Venue Specialist Tip No. 3: Don’t forget about transportation to and from your Essex wedding venue.

    Transportation can be a crucial aspect of your wedding day logistics. When choosing your Essex wedding venue, consider the following tips to ensure a smooth journey for you and your guests:

    • Check if the venue has ample on-site parking or if they have arrangements with nearby parking facilities.
    • If your venue is located in a remote area, think about arranging shuttle buses or coaches to transport your guests to and from the venue.
    • For venues located in town centres, consider the availability of public transport options, such as train or bus stations.
    • If you have guests coming from out of town, look into local hotels that offer shuttle services to and from the wedding venue.

    Keep these factors in mind when making your final decision, and don’t hesitate to ask our Venue Specialists for their transportation advice.
