Reviews of East Mersea Hall

D. S. H.

This venue has so many different areas for photographs, plus when day turns to night the water is lit up in a stunning manor for yet again more photograph opportunities. When going to this venue it is rude not to have a go on the big swing. You can also have an outdoor ceremony in a beautiful dedicated ceremony area. The team here are very friendly and help the day run smoothly. This is a great venue to be able to customize the day and add unique suppliers and make your day special.

We had an absolutely amazing day at East Mersea Hall. We honestly could not have asked for anything more. The venue is so picturesque, the food was delicious and most importantly the staff are so amazing and accomodating and we would like to thank the whole team, especially Anneka, for helping everything to run so smoothly for us 💕

Well what can I say, after two years of our wedding being cancelled due to lockdown restrictions, we decided to move our venue to east mersea hall, and what a great decision that was, they are so accommodating, their attention to detail is second to non. Thoroughly recommend this venue. Regards Mel and Dennis palfrey

From our first visit back in March we just knew that we'd found THE place. Daisy spotted some gorgeous shots on Instagram from the woodland that just sparked an instant connection. This was more than a pretty venue, it was a physical manifestation of how we wanted to celebrate our civil partnership. Meeting Kirsty and getting a tour was the icing on the cake. Although we went and visited other perfectly lovely venues, it was clear none could compete with East Mersea Hall. So we booked! Next came the barrage of questions that we fired at Kirsty about exactly how we wanted to craft our day to exacting standards. With her industry experience and cool headedness, Kirsty didn't once break a sweat and nothing was too much for us. We felt well looked after in the run up. Anneka kept things going smoothly on the day and offered the best kind of background support so that our plans unfolded just as we'd envisaged. This was all the more impressive when we discovered that her car had been crashed into by an inconsiderate driver on the way in that very morning. Talk about the show must go on -That's what we call dedication to service! The secret garden was super fun for the kids to play around in. The serving staff were friendly and professional and the catering was delicious. There was plenty of food and the lakeside views as you eat will transport you to an exquisite Mediterranean retreat! Having the cottage to stay over in was so convenient for us and the holiday site right next door is perfect for guests to stay in and stumble back to on foot of an evening. Our special day was early September and we got incredibly sunny weather which elevated everything to the next level! Mersea is a lovely place to find yourself too so it's ideal for making a long weekend of things if you are so inclined! You don't need us to tell you this is the right place to book, you'll realise in the first 5 minutes of being there so get a tour booked in and we hope you have as wonderful celebration at EMH as we did!

We had our wedding in the grounds of East Mersea Hall and after a year and a half of lockdowns and COVID it was the perfect venue for a party. The woodland was a great outdoor space for our ceremony, both spacious and intimate. The venue also has so many other outdoor spaces which everybody enjoyed spending most of the day in and there is also a lovely Pavillon for the seated meal. There is also a beautiful lake, a rope swing, and bridal suite to get ready in and later spend your first night as a married couple in. All the guests said the venue was stunning and the kids enjoyed running around and playing garden games etc. Kirsty and the team delivered impeccable service and their experience shows. Since taking the place over they have really upgraded it. We would highly recommend this wedding venue, especially if you are having a lot of guests.

After postponing our wedding twice we finally tied the knot at this amazing venue! We were originally getting married somewhere else but fell head over heels in love with East Mersea Hall and their incredible staff. Anneka was absolutely amazing in the lead up to the wedding, nothing was too much trouble, even rearranging the table plan just days before - she made it so easy and straightforward for us, no panic or stress whatsoever. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and all of our guests commented on how the staff went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend, 5 stars isn’t enough! X

Words cannot describe how beautiful East Mersea Hall is. We booked the venue in 2020 during the pandemic and didn't get the opportunity to view it. Kirsty and Anneka has been amazing. They showed us around the venue via video call. The first time we actually got to see the venue was the day before the wedding which was in September 2021. It was exactly as the pictures online and on Instagram. The venue was so beautiful that it required minimal decorations. The team kept us informed throughout and have been very helpful and supportive. They communicated effectively with us and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. Even our guests were gushing about how stunning the venue looked. We took our vows outdoor and had our reception indoors. I love that we didn't have to commute far between vows and the reception. The outdoor scenery was amazing. We even took pictures on the boat by the lake. I would 100 percent recommend East Mersea Hall to anyone. You will be in great hands!!!

Happiest day of our lives. From the moment we booked the venue all the way to the moment we left Kirsty and the team looked after us. Through Covid they kept us informed and helped us by keeping dates aside in case we had to postpone again. They dealt with all of our suppliers, some of them easier to deal with than others. But didn’t complain and took all of the pressure off of us. Our wedding wasn’t a conventional wedding. So we had numerous complicated elements to be planned and factored in. But we never really had to worry because it was all looked after by the team. We were just told everything will be fine and it was perfect. The team were perfect on the day making sure things were running smoothly. Everything happens without you needing to be involved. You get to the next part of the day and everything is ready and waiting. No questions, no fuss, no problems. And yet they are perfectly discrete in what they do. Waiters and waitresses you will see. The people keeping things running smoothly are in the background working away on walky talkies. The venue is stunning. With so much work and thought put into it. Whether you’re getting married indoors or outdoors any time of the year there’s a beautiful place to have a photo. Our guests said it was perfect and most said they dreaded to think how much we paid. And yet it was cheaper than many of the venues we’d been to before. We have already said we’d like to go back and have a party there every year with the team. Most people we’ve spoken to have said it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Thanks so much everyone who was involved.

We got married at East Mersea hall on 24/09/22. We can truly not rate this venue enough!! Anneka was absolutely amazing with sorting everything, replying to emails and making sure everything ran smoothly. The staff on the day were amazing, the venue was kept clean and tidy and everything ran smoothly. We have had a lot of guests mention how nice the staff were and how lovely the venue was. The food was beautiful and very well presented we had lots of comments of how lovely it was. We can’t thank Anneka and the staff enough for our amazing day. We truly have memories that will last forever. Thank you All xx

The venue is amazing but the best thing about East Mersea is Anneka and Kirsty!!! :-) They are cool as ice, such pros and so lovely, which is just what you need on your wedding day. They made everything so easy, so straightforward, I was so impressed by them!!! East Mersea itself is incredible, all of our guests kept telling us how amazing the venue is, they loved how many different little cool parts there are to hang out, they all gave it rave reviews. You really can't go wrong with East Mersea, it's an epic venue with awesome people running it!!!!

We cannot thank Kirsty, Anneka, and the team enough for making our wedding day such a great memory. After postponing twice due to Covid, we finally got to tie the knot in August this year, allowing family and friends from around the world to come and celebrate with us, which we are very grateful to Kirsty for. Anneka was an absolute god-send, smoothing out all the kinks and crinkles and soothing any worries all the way through the planning right up to and throughout the day. The venue is stunning with lots of great places for a wide range of photo styles, all of our guests greatly complimented the beauty of it and our photographer had a field day exploring! The catering team was excellent, we had a vegan wedding and our guests loved the menu choices, the care taken, and taste! The options for evening food were fantastic too, again we received lovely compliments from our guests. Overall we couldn’t have had any more of a perfect day. We would rate the place and the staff higher if we could.

Kirsty and Anneka at East Mersea Hall were the perfect wedding planners we could have hoped for. 3 years waiting to be married and it definitely was worth the wait. ALL of our guests were saying how wonderful the venue is. They couldn't believe how we had found a place with the setting it has, how nice the reception/ disco was and how good the food was. So much food!!! Thank you all so much for making our day run so smoothly. We definitely couldn't have done it without you both. We wish you all the success for the future and are already trying to figure out a way we can come back to have another party with you!

We got married here July 2021 and had the time of our lives! We were blown away by the exceptional service, and priceless expertise and experience of the team. We were supported throughout the planning process, including 3 changed dates due to the pandemic. Total professionals that are there for you every step of the way. The venue is unbelievably beautiful, an idylic location in every way. Thank you so much for bringing our dream day to life! X

WOW what an amazing place. Our wedding went by without a hitch. Everyone said it was an amazing place. My whole day was as perfect as perfect can be. The venue. The staff. Everyone was very accommodating. Thank you for making my day as perfect as perfect can be. 👰🤵💍🎉❤️

Me and my wife recently celebrated our wedding at East Mersea Hall, and it really was the perfect venue for our wedding. We booked the venue in the height of covid without even being able to visit the venue, but this risk paid off massively. Anneka, Kirsty and the team really went above and beyond to ensure every last detail of our wedding went to plan. The whole process of wedding planning was completely smooth with Anneka happy to accommodate any request for our wedding, with many of our guests commenting how wonderful the venue and whole day was. I would not hesitate in an instant to book this venue again. Thanks again to East Mersea Hall for hosting our wedding!

H. C.

Not only how amazingly beautiful this wedding venue is, it is also filled with the nicest, kindest and most helpful team. From start to finish they went above and beyond for us, so that our wedding day was special. Anneka was amazing and any questions we had or anything we wanted she made it happened. Even to the point of personally drying the boat out so we could get in it. The food was amazing and there was plenty of it. We couldn’t have had a better wedding day it was perfect and that was all thanks to Anneka and the team From the new Mr and Mrs Rampton

East Mersea Hall was absolutely perfect. We fell in love with it instantly when we looked around, and Mersea itself was a special place for us as we spent a lot of time there when we started dating. It really is a gem. The grounds are stunning and our guests were constantly talking about it for days afterwards. The water lillies were in bloom and the grounds were perfect for guests to mingle and provided many beautiful photo opportunities. The staff took great care of us and our guests throughout the day and helped keep us organised. Anneka our organiser was great, especially in the lead up to the wedding helping advise us on what needed to be done and adapting to last minute changes. We were thrilled to find a venue that would allow our dog there for the ceremony and reception drinks too. I cannot stress enough how much we loved our day and it will be the best of memories for years to come.

We got married at East Mersea Hall on 27th August 2022 and it was a perfect, magical day. From our initial enquiry, Anneka and Kirsty were professional. obliging, responsive and all you could ask for. The day itself ran smoothly, the food and service was incredible and the venue itself was just beautiful. We had our ceremony in the garden and the wedding breakfast and evening in the Pavilion, all of our guests said it was a fantastic wedding. The bridal suite for getting ready in and our overnight stay was fantastic and the breakfast basket the next morning was a nice touch. Thank you all so much for a truly wonderful day. Gail and Sax.

As soon as we saw this venue we fell in love with it. We made an appointment to view the grounds, which we done and then booked it straight away. We didn’t even look at any other venues. It was just everything and more. Anneka and Kirsty were absolutely amazing and made our day so special. They took care of everything, there was constant communication, Anneka helped me with all the planning as I didn’t have a clue. There was just nothing that we could have added into this day, everything was already taken care of. The grounds are absolutely stunning, we had a woodland wedding which was incredible. The bbq food was so delicious too. You will not be disappointed with this venue or the staff, truly fantastic.

Myself & my new Husband got married at East Mersea hall on the 19th of November 2022. We viewed in February of the same year, and I knew the second I saw the beautiful grounds that was where we would get married. In fact it was the only venue we viewed. During the lead up to the wedding the team were organised, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Our actual day ran like clockwork. I had so little to do besides enjoy our day. The team took charge of everything - however big or small. The food and service was second to none & we had so many compliments on choice of food as we had the bbq. Every member of staff were kind, courteous and polite. And the grounds speak for themselves, they made for an incredibly beautiful back drop to our Autumn wedding. I can’t recommend the venue enough, Anneka, Kirsty & their team are absolute professionals at what they do and when I say they are cool calm and collected every step of the way I really mean it. Which is exactly what you need on your wedding day! Thank-you so much for making my wedding vision come alive - our whole day was like a fairytale. A real dream come true 🤍

We booked our wedding at East Mersea Hall over 2 1/2 years ago… We were so impressed with Kirsty, her vision and passion we booked immediately. Our wedding was then postponed once and we then moved to 2022. We finally got married in July and I can say that it was absolute perfection. East Mersea Hall is the MOST stunning venue. We had a tipi in the secret garden and our wedding day was a dream from start to finish. Kirsty and the team made everything run so smoothly and seamlessly and made sure that my husband and I really enjoyed our day. Everyone thought we were crazy organising a wedding with 3 little kids, but it was a joy from start to finish and you all made it so easy. The food was out of this world and our guests were really blown away by how amazing it was. From the meetings, to the tastings and constant reassurance and care, I cannot recommend Kirsty and her team enough. Thank you for helping us to have the most amazing celebration and tying the knot at East Mersea Hall was the best decision we made and has been he perfect way to celebrate becoming Mr & Mrs xxx

We had the most wonderful wedding from before the big day to the end of the day everything was spot on! Anneka will make sure everything runs like clockwork, whilst the venue and the grounds speak for themselves! I didn’t have to do much at all anneka and Kirsty took care of everything and we had the best day ever! We are so glad we chose east mersea hall. Amazing food perfectly run and everything is top notch from the service to the dance floor ❤️ Nothing was too much trouble Thankyou!

Attended this place as part of a wedding party and from what I saw it is a beautiful place to get hitched and an amazing atmosphere for the evening reception. I can't speak for the prices for hiring but from what I understand it is very reasonable (the bar prices weren't spiteful either) and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Only (and minor issue in my opinion) it is quite a long way away from anywhere so be sure to bring anything with you that you might need (cigarettes etc) as the nearest convenience shop is a 15/20 minute drive away. There may be a shop on the nearby campsite (Coopers Beach) but I believe you have to be a member to go on

M. D.

The service was very friendly, thoughtful and professional. Our guests were really impressed with the beautiful venue and excellent service and all really enjoyed the canapes and wedding breakfast. Would highly recommend.

East Mersea Hall is a gorgeous venue! The children had hours of fun on the huge swing and as the sun goes down, the tree wrapped fairy lights and the lovely lamps that circle the pond look magical x

We were lucky to have our wedding reception at East Mersea Hall in September 2021. It's a beautiful venue - amazing grounds around the lake for our drinks reception (even more stunning at night with all the lights!) and a great indoor space for lots of people at dinner. Just as great as the venue was the team (particularly Kirsty and Anneka), who were wonderfully supportive and helpful from beginning to end. The food and drink was also excellent - the cocktails on tap went down very well with our guests! Thanks to everyone at East Mersea Hall for an incredible day!

We had an amazing wedding at East Mersea Hall, despite the weather not being on our side. The cermony was very personal to us and it was in a beautiful setting inside and everyone commented how cosy it was and what a great atomsphere. The staff were amazing as was Anneka our wedding co-ordinator who we had a great repore with. Everything was perfect and alot of guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!! If i could do it all over again i would, such a special day

D. C.

Anika and her team were absolutley brilliant. We had our mothers funeral gathering following a service at Colchester. The room and the setting are beutiful even on a January day. The buffet was excellent and it's just a wonderful little spot. A visit to see what East Mersea Hall is like is a must. Can not thank you guys enough for making things go so well.

We cannot recommend East Mersea Hall highly enough as a wedding venue. The grounds are stunning, with a great balance between spaciousness and cosiness. Kirsty, the Wedding and Events Manager, is relentlessly supportive and highly knowledgeable about everything weddings. This was a huge help to us as we didn't know where to start! During the pandemic, Kirsty has been super understanding and has allowed us to postpone on two occasions with no hassles at all. She is amazing!

S. C.

24.07.2021 - the best day of our life! Kirsty and team have been incredible this last year, with the lockdowns and postponements I cannot thank Kirsty enough for the love, care and reassurance she gave us over one of the most stressful year. Having to postpone due to the pandemic was never going to be easy but knowing Kirsty was there made things run as smoothly as it could, there was times we both felt like throwing in the towel and canceling but after a quick phone call with Kirsty and listening to her positive thinking the excitement in our belly's was back. Her and her team was absolutely faultless throughout the whole process from booking the wedding until the last drink was served. The grounds are stunning, the staff are wonderful. I have been to lots of wedding venues as a makeup artist but this is most beautiful wedding venue of them all! EVERYTHING ran so smoothly and it was honestly the best day of our life.

H. T.

This place is truly spectacular.. Beautiful grounds..so much choice to suit what kind of wedding you would like as well. Kirsty has been super helpful and supportive throughout lockdown. When I needed to move my wedding nothing was too much trouble and she always stayed in contact with me to keep me up to date on what was happening. Can't wait to get married here in 2021. If you are looking for a venue make sure you add East mersea Hall to your list. You won't be disappointed! Thanks again x

East Mersea Hall was everything we could have hoped for and more! The grounds are idyllic and everyone was obsessed with how beautiful it was. The staff are so helpful, organised and attentive and we didn’t have anything to worry about on the day. Kirsty and Anneka were so flexible with anything we had in mind for decorations and helped to set everything up just as we had imagined it. The food was utterly delicious and everyone commented on how generous all of the servings were! So we would like to say a massive thank you for making our day absolutely perfect. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. Also, a special thank you to Anneka for cleaning the boat before we got in (hehe). You all really do go above and beyond. Much love and gratitude, Sam and Nicole :)

E. B.

Beautiful venue, very expensive. Not sure it offers more than other Essex wedding venues for the money.
