Fennes Manor House is a timeless, romantic, and elegant wedding venue set in 100 acres of picturesque grounds in the North Essex countryside.
Fennes offers the magnificent grandeur of a beautiful stately home with a charmingly intimate atmosphere. The impressive high ceilings, spacious rooms and opulent décor provide an exquisite setting for your special day.

Exclusively yours - the choice of outdoor weddings, a manor house wedding or a fusion of both
Outdoor and Woodland weddings
Manor House weddings
Have you dreamed about saying “I do” in the midst of a woodland forest, out on a meadow or by a lake? Fennes provides a unique opportunity to embrace the remarkable beauty of nature and imbue your big day with a touch of magic. Set over one-hundred acres of pristine Essex countryside, our slice of heaven boasts stunning gardens, a woodland and views over its natural meadows and lakes.
While our Georgian Manor House has an intimate atmosphere, it is still undeniably grand. The high ceilings, spacious rooms and opulent décor provide an impressive setting for your special day. At Fennes you have the choice of the grand house or our grounds for your special day, and if the weather is not on your side for your dream outdoor wedding the house is just as beautiful and dreamlike to make your day special no matter the weather.
From meadows, woodlands, lakes to a manor house and so much more
Picture this scene… manicured lawns adorned with flowers, a backdrop of trees as far as the eye can see, the sound of laughter and clinking glasses ringing out from the picturesque house, photographs in the woodland during golden hour and dancing under the stars with everyone you love. Fennes is your home for the day.
Whether you choose a large celebration or a small and intimate wedding, Fennes offers the perfect space for your special day. You will have a dedicated team to guarantee your day exceeds your expectations including your own Wedding and Events Manager who will support you throughout the planning stages right up to the big day to ensure all goes to plan.
Your ceremony
Our idyllic venue can accommodate small, intimate ceremonies in any of our various licensed rooms. For larger events, you can enjoy our generous Banqueting Hall, which can seat up to 500 guests, or our stunning chandelier-lit Pavilion. Alternatively, if you are looking to celebrate in the great outdoors, our gazebo is fully licensed meaning you have the option to hold your ceremony within our beautiful grounds.
Your reception
We pride ourselves on our exceptional customer care - from your personal wedding planner offering you professional assistance in arranging your perfect day to our in-house catering team preparing meals crafted from locally sourced ingredients. Whether you are planning a formal, seated meal or something more relaxed, we can accommodate a wide variety of setups. Plus, to complement your mouth-watering meal, our friendly bartenders are delighted to pour fine wines, champagnes, and personalised cocktails.
Feasts with fizz
Fennes offers cuisine to suit every palate – from tempting canapés and sumptuous wedding breakfasts to unique world buffets and traditional hog roasts.
And with an extensive selection of fine wines and champagne, you’ll find the perfect beverage to complete your meal.
Accommodation
As the sun sets on your wedding day, you can look forward to waking up in the luxurious Honeymoon Cottage, your own private haven with four poster bed and copper bath. Meanwhile, your friends and family can unwind in one of our 13 beautifully designed guest rooms.
A delicious breakfast is served the following morning, allowing you to sit down and relive your special memories with your closest family and friends.
