Essex is one of the most varied wedding venue counties in England - and one of the most underrated. Within its borders you'll find converted barns on working farms around Braintree and Saffron Walden, grand country estates on the fringes of Dedham Vale and Epping Forest, coastal venues on Mersea Island and the Blackwater Estuary, and well-connected town-centre hotels in Chelmsford, Colchester and Brentwood.

For couples based in London, wedding venues in Essex offer something rare: genuine countryside and coastal character within 35 to 55 minutes of Liverpool Street. This page brings together venues across every area and style, so you can browse, compare and enquire in one place.
