If you're looking to host the party of the year, you'll need a special venue to do it. And, if you're based in or near Essex and love the idea of countryside retreat, then look no further because 'That Amazing Place' offers all kinds of packages for event and party planners.
This aptly-named venue is a Grade II listed manor house surrounded by beautiful countryside and even boasts a cottage with space for 31 people, so that you can take over the exclusive use of the site for the whole weekend. Formerly a family home, the current owners have lovingly renovated it for its new purpose as a stand-out venue.
Inside you'll find a selection of rooms that can be reconfigured or transformed with decor to suit the style of your soiree. The Lakeview Lounge, for example, boasts period features such as a fireplace, sash bay windows and ceiling cornicing making it a gorgeous space for a networking or a drinks reception, an informal 'hang out' room in the day, or even for giving a presentation in.
The largest space indoors is The Hall which can accommodate up to 100 people. This wide, open area is perfect for a party. Add lights, music and decorations with side tables for perching at with a drink and this is a fabulous place to dance the night away, get together with friends or even host colleagues or clients.
If the warmer weather permits, the gardens are gorgeous and should be planned into your weekend, whether it be a picnic or a walk. The marquee also offers a swish al fresco dining experience; with a cream-hued, draped ceiling and chandelier, it's got all the charm of the main house but complemented by the 360 degree views. Here, you can invite 150 guests for a sit-down meal or up to 200 if drinks and dancing only.
