An Essex Wedding - March/April 2023 (Issue 109)

ORSETT HALL HOTEL, RESTAURANT & SPA 01375 891 402 | www.orsetthall.co.uk What to expect Orsett Hall’s Main Building is beautifully designed and rebuilt to replicate the original building which was built initially around 1750 and then rebuilt in the early 20th century, but unfortunately burned down in a fire in 2008. The hotel features individually designed and stylishly decorated guest bedrooms, superb dining in the Garden Brasserie, elegant function rooms, a gorgeous chapel and boutique spa. Time to celebrate Orsett Hall has an on-site chapel, licensed to conduct religious and nonreligious wedding ceremonies, as well as civil partnerships. Its stunning interior resembles something out of a fairytale and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Designed in soothing pastel tones and framed by elegant white beams covered in white flowers, the chapel offers traditional seating and a large balcony where additional guests can be seated and music can be played. The gazebo offers couples the opportunity to get married outdoors within the gardens of Orsett Hall. Perfect for weddings in the summer months, it offers couples an intimate setting al fresco. All function rooms are also licensed for wedding ceremonies. The Gold Room with its exquisite chandeliers, period fireplace and large window areas, is a bright and welcoming setting for a wedding. It can cater for up to 100 guests seated, and up to 200 for an evening reception. Whitmore is decorated in warm rich tones and can comfortably accommodate up to 140 seated guests, or 250 for a standing reception. It includes a large bar and is the perfect venue for a special occasion. The Grahame Thomas Pavilion is the largest suite; it contains its own private bar and can seat up to 520 people for a banquet or wedding. The Pavilion is fully air-conditioned and even boasts its own koi carp pond and bridge, where outside seating is also provided. We love... The twinkling chandelier catches everyone’s eye as it stretches from the lower ground level of the hotel corridor to the second floor. LANGTONS HOUSE 01708 433 155 | www.langtons-house.co.uk What to expect Langtons House is a beautiful Georgian Grade II listed building with many traditional features including damask wallpapers, wood panelling and jaw dropping crystal chandeliers.
