Just the best of the best!
If you want the best wedding day ever, we cannot recommend Fennes enough!
First of all, a mahoosive big up to Sophie, our wedding planner, making the whole experience from start to end the most amazing, smooth and stress-free time, plus the fact she is just one of the loveliest people we've had the pleasure to meet! Any question I had was answered so quickly, anything we wanted, Sophie made it happen - there are just no words for how amazing Sophie made the whole wedding.
The venue is just stunning, so much character inside the beautiful house in all the rooms, a choice of two marquees decked out with magical lights, the honeymoon suite with the swankiest copper bath tub you've ever seen and the garden/grounds that are just so perfectly kept - it is just picture perfect!
The service throughout the whole day of the wedding was just top notch! We didn't have to worry about anything, I mean anything. Everything was just perfect, from the decor being put out in the morning, the wedding parties getting ready if they needed anything, to the wedding breakfast service, not to mention how many people have said to us the food was one of the best they've had at any wedding before (highly recommend the Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert).
We just can't recommend Fennes enough, I say again, if you want the best wedding day ever, please just book Fennes cos you will not regret it. -

Perfect venue
We got married at The Fennes and it was the most perfect day.
From pre-wedding communications, to set-up and service from the staff on the day, to the food (would recommend the Hog Roast for the evening meal option), to everything else, it really was the most magical place.
If I could go back and re-live the day again I would and I wouldn’t change a thing.
Thank you to Sophie and the Fennes team for all that you do . -

Our wedding 30/3/26
Our day at Fennes was absolutely fantastic. The service from start to finish was superb, the whole day was seamless. The staff went above and beyond for our day. Our wedding planner Sophie was incredibly helpful, especially with my 1000 questions and tweaks I made. She was patient and understanding. I will recommend this venue to every one that is looking in the Essex area. -

Beautiful Venue with Exceptional Service
We recently had the pleasure of celebrating a wedding at Fennes, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning – beautifully kept grounds, charming spaces for both the ceremony and reception, and plenty of picturesque backdrops for photographs.
The team at Fennes were professional, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the whole process. They made everything run smoothly on the day, and no detail was overlooked.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines elegance, warmth, and exceptional service, I would highly recommend Fennes. It’s a place that makes a special day feel truly unforgettable. -

E & N Wedding Day 30th March 2025
What a place to get married! We tied to knot at Fiennes on 30th March 2025. The attention to detail, preparation, and overall service was absolutely amazing!
We initially went for a viewing and fell in love with it, so booked our venue with only 6 months to go! We were allocated Vicky as our wedding coordinator and she was a treasure to have by our sides! The meeting to the lead up to ensure the day went smoothly, the food tasting experience, unlimited visits to the venue (within reason) - we even had our pre-wedding photoshoot at the venue so our photographer could get used the to venue!
On the day, there was a slight hiccup with a lack of water in the accommodations, however we got a percentage of the room cost refunded back to us.
Vicky was there on the day, ensuring our day ran smoothly, alongside many other incredible Fences staff! The lady behind the bar was also brilliant!
We haven't heard a bad word from our day, just how beautiful the wedding was and the grounds were!
Thank you so much for making our day so so special 💕-

Seamless and professional
We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Fennes, and we could not be happier with our choice. From the moment we first visited, we were captivated by the elegance of the manor and it's grounds.
The staff at Fennes were professional and friendly. They made the planning process as smooth as it could be and our coordinator (Sophie) was always available to answer our questions and provide valuable suggestions that enhanced our special day.
On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly. The catering provided by Fennes was outstanding. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food and amazing service. The team were very accommodating for the various dietary needs.
We booked the Fennes DJ, Jack Berry, for the evening. He didn't just play the list of songs that we provided but was really in touch with the vibe of our guests and just knew what to play at the right time. He also added in songs that really fit the mood as we danced the night away!
Overall, our experience at Fennes was nothing short of magical. The combination of a breath taking location, exceptional service, and attention to detail made our wedding day unforgettable. We are incredibly grateful to the entire team at Fennes for making our dream wedding a reality. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a perfect place to celebrate their love.

Stunning grounds with a Characterful house - Staff are incredible
Fennes, Braintree was the one and only venue we ever looked at. Before viewing if for the first time we were determined to be 'open minded' but the entrance alone took our breath away and safe to say, we paid the deposit in the car on the way home! Every single member of staff we dealt with along the way were faultness, from accounts to the wedding coordinators themselves. We had Sophie Richell as our Wedding Coordinator and it was so easy to find comfort and trust in her with our big day. No query was ever too big or too small and rest assure- You would be in fantastic hands!
The grounds and the house were the perfect background for our photos and full of character, the food was absolutely fabulous - Smoked Salmon starter and Beef fillet were insanely delightful (we went with a mix across the menus).
The long and the short of it, if I could do it all again at Fennes, I'd be back there tomorrow. -

Magical Venue
Fennes proved to be everything we could gave wished for, for our daughter’s wedding. The venue itself, with the listed house, and the two beautiful marquee areas beyond, deliver everything you could want for a wedding day delight.
The superb and beautiful rooms for the bridal party to get ready on the day are beautifully appointed for shower, hair and make up requirements. It is a great addition for stress free prep.
Four beautiful bedrooms are available within the house for an overnight stay on the wedding day, together with other rooms for special guests, within the grounds of the venue. The bride and groom have use of a totally separate, spacious and wonderful cottage.
The grounds are stunning and create a perfect backdrop for photos.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, both in the build up to the day, or the day itself. You have your own personal wedding planner who guides you through everything you need. Nothing is a chore, everything is organised carefully and with precise planning.
In short - you will not regret booking Fennes - it offers everything you think you need and so much more!
