<p>First in our Essex wedding venues list is the 17th century <a href="https://www.vaultymanor.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vaulty Manor</a>: think oak beams, sweeping lawns (oh and and exclusive use). Have a rustic do in the barn, alfresco in the gardens, or a twilight wedding as the sun sets. There’s even a ceremony room with floor-to-ceiling windows. You and your guests can even kick off your heels and stay in the Honeymoon Suite or accommodation for up to 55 guests.</p>

<p>Where else to book a viewing for? How about <a href="https://www.quendonhall.co.uk/about-us" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Quendon Hall</a>?

<p><a href="https://www.braxtedpark.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Braxted Park</a>, built in 1680, is ideal for those that want a church wedding, as it has its own parish church in the grounds that dates to 1042. It&#8217;s great for civil ceremonies, too, with The Orangery&#8217;s arched windows and hand-painted frescos. You can also hold your wedding on a venue-only/dry-hire basis, choosing your own caterering, cutlery, crockery, glassware and linen. </p>
