Couples seeking a historic wedding venue in Essex should definitely check out Marygreen Manor in Brentwood. This Tudor manor house dates from the 16th Century and was originally home to Henry Roper, a Gentleman Servant to Catherine of Aragon. The house still has all its original features, including oak beams and inglenook fireplaces, allowing you and your guests to soak up a bit of history as you celebrate your big day. This stunning wedding venue also boasts beautiful grounds, providing plenty of photo opportunities.
Marygreen Manor’s dedicated Wedding Coordinators have over 25 years’ experience so you can rest assured you’ll be in safe hands here. Whatever set-up you’re looking for, be it an evening drinks reception or a full-day wedding celebration including a ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening party, the team are on hand to ensure your day goes exactly to plan.
In addition to the venue’s period function rooms, there’s also plenty of on-site accommodation for you and your guests so you won’t have far to travel after the day’s revelry. And, what’s more, there are packages to suit all tastes and budgets meaning you can plan your perfect day without worrying you’ll overspend. There’s a day saver package, an evening saver package, an all-inclusive package and a premium all-inclusive package, which include various elements such as room hire, a three-course meal, alcohol, and overnight accommodation for the bride and groom.
We particularly like the adjoining Henry VIII and Samuel Pepys rooms, which are both ideally suited for wedding ceremonies and wedding breakfasts. They open onto the secluded gardens, which are an ideal spot for drinks after the marriage has taken place. Alternatively, you could choose to hold your wedding breakfast in the Tudors Restaurant, once the Baronial Hall.
Various menus are available for your wedding breakfast, so whether you want a traditional three-course meal with dishes such as lamb rump or beef Wellington, or something a little more modern, the chefs will be happy to oblige.
