Essex is one of the most varied wedding venue counties in England — and one of the most underestimated. Within its borders you'll find converted barns on working farms in the Braintree and Saffron Walden countryside, grand country estates in the Dedham Vale and Epping Forest fringes, 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, it offers something rare: genuine countryside and coastal character within 35 to 55 minutes of Liverpool Street.

This page brings together wedding venues in Essex across every area and style — so you can browse, compare, and enquire in one place.
