The Kings Oak Hotel Full Description
Licensed for civil ceremonies in our three beautiful function suites, the flexibility of each allows our bridal couples to make their wedding day very different. Be it the grandeur of the King's Room, the intimacy and grace of the Oak Lounge, and the chic starlit Beach Club that overlooks our terrace, pool and gardens, there is a combination to make your wedding day perfect. Maybe your plans do not include a civil ceremony. In that case, the convenience of the beautiful and historic Church of the Holy Innocents lies just a ¼ of a mile away. Many couples who use the Kings Oak for their wedding receptions get married in this stunning Epping Forest church. The Kings Oak chefs always provide a first-class dining experience. Together with their skilled team, they will offer you a broad range of cooking styles and menu options for your wedding breakfast. Paula heads up our very proficient events team and has been with us since 2010. Having run clubs and promotions in Essex & London before she joined the Kings Oak, her events experience is unsurpassed. Paula has an amazing grasp of what the customer is looking for and is the 'go-to' person for wedding inspiration and customer service. Coupled with a superb back-office team that runs the office like clockwork, your wedding planning could not be in better hands. The team are happy to discuss the Kings Oak being hired out on a dry hire venue-only basis. We appreciate that certain cultural requirements are sometimes best left to the wedding party. Jewish, Greek and Asian cultures may find this arrangement better suited to their plans. Still, we will always provide the support of our wedding planners to assist on the big d

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue...
Good morning Kings Oak, Thank you so much for everything! Me and Bradley had the best day ever on the 6th of October and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue or nicer people to get us through the day. All our guests loved it and keep saying they wished they could do it again!

Sister's Wedding - One to remember!
Sisters wedding - one to remember x My sister Michelle got married here on 30th March 2019 to Michael and I feel compelled to write a review, which is unlike me! It was the most beautiful occasion and so well organised, the attention to detail was amazing! Well done to the team on what was a superb event, my sister and her new husband had the most wonderful time (and so did everyone else) we are all still talking about it now!! Carly x

Our perfect wedding day
My husband and I got married here on Friday 29th March & it was absolutely everything we could have wanted! Skye and the team made everything run so smoothly we had nothing to worry about, and the venue was decorated exactly how we imagined! Our guests all complimented the venue and the food as well :) Thank you for everything - I wish we could do it all over again!!

We had our wedding at The Kings Oak yesterday, everyone that attended said how beautiful the setting and all the rooms were. We have had many guests compliment the roast beef that was served perfectly and everyone adored the starter. All the food served on the day was delicious and the food and drink was on constant flow. We were made to feel comfortable and all my requests were met with no hesitation. They were all extremely accommodating and made the groom and I feel happy and relaxed all day through to the evening. Absolutely would recommend having a wedding or special event here! Thank you everyone
