An Essex Wedding - Mar/Apr 2017 (Issue 79)

Tie the knot in these fabulous regional hotspots Braintree and Uttlesford Spotlight on Braxted Park Set majestically in 500 acres of parkland and approached by a sweeping driveway, lies Braxted House. Its Walled Garden has been carefully restored to its former beauty making an idyllic setting for a wedding. The Pavilion is situated within the garden itself and overlooks the semi-mature pleached hornbeam hedging, intricate planting and cascading water features, creating the most photogenic backdrop for your nuptials. The Orangery is an exceptionally pretty room with vistas over the mature gardens of the main house; whereas The Knott Garden is a picturesque setting within the walled garden, both of which can comfortably seat 150 loved ones to witness your vows. Receptions can take place in The Reception Hall, which provides the perfect country house setting for your post-vows drinks before sitting down to your wedding breakfast in the elegant Ballroom. The Walled Garden Pavilion is also a superb location for a reception, catering from 50 to 300 guests and is fully equipped with air-conditioning, heating and bar facilities. We love... the bridal hampers offered to nearly- weds who get ready at the venue. Contact: 01621 892 305 | braxtedparkweddings.co.uk REGIONAL VENUES 19
