Fennes

  VOTED BEST UK WEDDING VENUE 2009!

There is something truly unique about Fennes. Located in 100 acres of Essex countryside, it has a wonderfully welcoming feel and it is easy to imagine that it could be your own home. It is this that makes Fennes the ideal venue for your wedding day, with over 14 years' experience as a dedicated wedding venue, we have mastered the essence of what makes your special day perfect.

Some parts of the house date back to the 15th century, the majority of the reception rooms are Georgian in style with high ceilings and a very spacious feel.  We are able to accommodate smaller, more intimate weddings within this suite of rooms whilst larger wedding parties use these rooms to receive guests before moving through to the Wedding Pavilion.

The Pavilion is lined with beautiful silk featuring chandeliers, wall sconces and a starlight ceiling, The Pavilion also includes a bar area and state-of-the-art sound system and dance floor.  Licensed for Civil Ceremonies and overlooking the estate grounds, it makes a perfect setting for a very personal occasion.

The Banqueting Hall is our largest function room and can seat up to 400 guests under its starlight ceiling.  A versatile space used for evening receptions, it can also be partitioned for smaller parties.

Father Philip Need, the Dean of Bocking, welcomes couples who wish to discuss the details of their ceremony and will consider most requests.

Fennes prides itself on its outstanding reputation for fine foods and attention to a professional, yet personal service making it essential to any memorable day.

      Faultless!
      We cannot fault the service we received from Fennes from the first enquiry to the post-wedding assistance. Sharyn, Miles and Joyce felt like one of the family and their dedication and professionalism did Fennes proud! Both venue and staff were faultless - we wouldn't fail to recommend Fennes wholeheartedly to others. Unbelievable quality - great value for money.

      Amazing Day!
      We had an amazing day and all staff were very polite and helpful. Nicola (Front of House Manager) was brilliant and ensured we had everything we had asked for.

      WE LOVE FENNES!
      Everyone commented on how good venue, staff, food and general day was. For us, from start to finish it was perfect! If we are able to be free, we would happily attend open days to let prospective brides/grooms know. We love Fennes!

      Bridal Suite!
      Room was fab, lovely touch having the bath run ready! All rooms in the house clean and tidy - can't grumble about anything! Thanks to all the staff both behind the scenes and frontline staff, we have many memories of our perfect day.
