Our experience at Apton Hall in Rochford was nothing short of magical. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect in every way.

The venue itself is stunning, and the beautiful garden areas provided a picturesque backdrop for our photos. Every detail at the venue was perfect and well maintained.

What truly sets Apton Hall apart is the exceptional service. The team was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our day special. They were always on hand to assist with any request, ensuring everything ran smoothly and seamlessly.

The food was also exquisite, delighting all our guests with its quality and presentation.

Our wedding day was a dream come true, thanks to the wonderful team at Apton Hall. If you're looking for a venue that combines beauty with outstanding service, I cannot recommend Apton Hall highly enough. It was the perfect setting for our special day, and we will cherish the memories forever.

Thank you, Apton Hall, for making our wedding an unforgettable celebration!

From the very first meeting with Hayley we instantly we had found our perfect wedding venue (one of the reasons being that it was dog friendly too!)

Hayley and Lauren have been so helpful throughout the planning process and were always on hand to answer any queries we had – big or small. I am so grateful for the two of them for all of their help and advice!

On the day itself Emma looked after us as our coordinator – she is so calming and made me feel slightly more at ease (I was very nervous that morning!).

The waiting staff were so friendly, all of our guests mentioned that the food is the best meal they've ever had at a wedding! We had lots of compliments on the bar staff too – they were very quick at serving and professional.

Thank you to the whole team at Apton Hall for giving us the most perfect day that we will remember forever.

As soon as we arrived at the venue we knew it was for us! We was instantly greeted by staff and they were superhelpful all the way until our big day.
The venue was perfect and had everything you could want. I think the most useful thing for us was feeling safe in the staff's hands to know that everything was being taken care of so we did'nt need to worry on the wedding day. Honestly we are so happy we picked Apton Hall and would reccomend to everyone. Thank you to everyone there who made our day perfect!

I would recommend Apton Hall to anyone looking for a stress-free wedding! Our day went perfectly, the team did so much for us both in the planning stages, behind the scenes, and on the day to make sure the day was everything we dreamed the day would be. The food here is also amazing - a big hit with everyone.

Would highly highly recommend Apton Hall as a Wedding Venue. We loved it from the moment we saw it, they were great with communication back and forth throughout our engagement. On the wedding day the whole staff were absolutely incredible! From helping me get into my dress to organising the day and making sure we had everything. Honestly made our day truly magical & go very smoothly. Couldn’t recommend them more!

I knew the moment I visited Apton Hall that it was going to be special, but I honestly cannot put into words just how incredible the place and all the staff are there! They made what would have been a perfect day, utterly magical. Endless emails from me were answered quickly, Specific requests were made possible, quite literally nothing was too much trouble. And not only that, but every single person we encountered were happy, excited and seemed to genuinely care about giving us the best day of our lives. And they did not disappoint. My husband and I had the best day of our lives. And it was made all the better by the staff at Apton Hall. I have to give a special thanks to Lauren, for being so patient and utterly amazing! Rebecca and Josh on the day were superb! My whole family felt like they were a part of the family too! And nothing was too much trouble! I didn't have a care in the world!! I wasn't worried if things went a bit wrong, but I needn't have worried anyway, as they made sure thay not only we got what we wanted, but the whole thing ran as smoothly as it could. We really did have the perfect day and I would not change a single thing! Thank you isn't enough to convey how grateful we are for providing us with the best memories that will last us our lifetime! But thank you none the less! Also breakfast with the family the following morning, was an extra special touch! Perfection, just perfection!

Wow, where do I begin?!

The grounds and the venue of Apton Hall are simply STUNNING! There’s nothing like it. The layout means that everything can be accessed without going outside in the case of bad weather, but with good weather you have vast amounts of beautiful spaces for glorious photos. The layout also means that guests have plenty of spaces to mingle, dance, or catch up on a drink in throughout the day.

The rooms available for guests were absolutely luxurious, and all the guests who stayed not only commented on how well decorated the rooms were, but also how comfortable they were. It really was a luxury stay for all of them!

The food was above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. HUGE portion sizes, the most exquisite flavours, and the chef was just so ahead of our requests that even those with allergies had personal touches to their dishes that made them feel cared for.

Along with the chef, Lauren and Josh went above and beyond the expectation of their jobs to make sure that the day (and EVERYTHING leading up to it) went smoothly and offered me a lot of confidence and reassurance that they would have me and my husband at the heart of all they did. When we thought something might go wrong with some people pulling out last minute, Josh was ahead of the game and seamlessly adjusted table layouts. When we couldn’t figure out something the night before, Lauren was at the end of the phone within minutes. All members of the team on the day were exceptional, whether it was making sure we had drinks flowing, or people knew where to be and when, I can’t thank them enough for their attentiveness and attention to detail.

Overall, I couldn’t recommend the venue and the whole team enough. If you want the reassurance of a dedicated and caring team, and the most spectacular venue with simply stunning backdrops and a flexible space, THIS is the place to be ❤️

Honestly, I cannot thank Apton Hall enough for helping to create the most magical day. Wright from meeting Lauren when we first came to view the venue, the Service has been 2nd to none. I appreciate that this venue has weddings nearly every day, however when you are there, you truly believe your wedding is the only one that matters and the venue is all yours. Emma and Josh were superb hosts on the actual day. I made us feel so comfortable. And incredible venue, and incredibly well run team, thank you so much for helping us to create the best day of our lives.

The best day, the best venue, the best staff.
We couldn’t have asked for more from our day. Staff are professional, friendly and obviously enjoy what they do. The service, food and attention to detail is second to none.

We had an amazing wedding day thanks to the professionalism shown by Apton Hall staff. The day went smoothly, the food was amazing and the service provided by all staff was brilliant.
The coachhouse rooms were clean and tidy, along with venue and facilities.
All of our guests commented on the venue, food and staff.

We chose our venue as Apton Hall, having had an incredible reception there at our friends wedding! We had no hesitations, and booked the following Monday. We never looked back. The team are incredibly professional and sophisticated as well as human :)
We had the most incredible wedding in February 2024, only 11 months after the booked our date: the team were incredibly accommodating of our needs and made the entire process effortless to enjoy as a future Mr & Mrs to be from start to end. Thank you Lauren & the wider team for the memories,

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, thanks to the amazing venue and impeccable service from the team at Apton Hall. From the moment we stepped onto the grounds, we knew we had chosen the perfect place to celebrate the best day of our lives.

The venue itself is picturesque, surrounded by farmland and adorned with cosy farmhouse/barn decor that added a touch of elegance to our special day. The natural beauty of the surroundings, combined with the carefully curated details, created a romantic atmosphere that surpassed our wildest dreams.

The staff at Apton Hall played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of our day. Their friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail were unparalleled. From the initial planning stages to the day of coordination, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel heard and supported. Every request was met with a smile, and their dedication to creating a seamless experience for us and our guests did not go unnoticed.

The food was amazing and a lasting impression on our guests. Each dish was full of flavour, fresh and filling.

The flexibility of the venue allowed us to tailor our wedding to reflect our personalities and preferences, ensuring a unique and personalised experience for us and our guests.

Our wedding day at Apton Hall was a dream come true.

We got married at Apton hall 3 days before Christmas in 2023. It was everything we ever wanted and more. The venue is beautiful and staff and service is next to none. I would recommend this venue over and over again. 🥰

Apton was the 3rd venue we visited when deciding where to hold our vow renewal and we just knew the moment we were walking back to the car that this was going to be our venue. The service the team provide is exceptional and we never once stressed out about anything to do with the venue or the team that would be looking after us there. Everything was explained to us in finite detail, we were encouraged to visit more (by appointment) if we needed to and always received invites to the open days/evenings, supplier events and wedding fayres and this helped us to find virtually everyone who helped bring our day together. The couples taster evening was phenomenal and really did help us decide on our menu choices for our guests. We opted for the sit down wedding breakfast as we had nothing like this at our original wedding but Apton offer so many food choices, there really is something to suit everyone. Apton as a venue really does work to have everything in one place for the ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening entertainment as well as having the Dovecot bridal suite along with 7 onsite rooms for guests to stay and the standards are impeccable. We also hired the Meadow Cottage (airb&b) as you enter the approach to Apton for 3 family groups to stay in (this will no longer be available from 2024 I believe). There was a wedding at Apton the day before ours but when I arrived on our day you would never have known that as everything was spotless, our set up was in full swing and it was just all about our day.
The facilities are great, the food is amazing, the bar prices are reasonable and the team of people that work there are just fantastic, everyone we dealt with was so professional and it just shows what a fantastic set up Apton have. Throughout our planning process we mainly dealt with Lauren, which was fab as she was the constant for us during our 12 months of planning, always at the end of an email with support, answers and solutions, thinking of things we hadn’t thought of and would even respond to us on her days off! The rest of the team are just as great and it’s so nice to see a team of people working so well together and also good to constantly see the same people there every time we visited as this was important to us to not see a churn of different people because then you run the risk of the service and standards not being what they should. We definitely had nothing to worry about!
We’ve loved the last 12mths of planning, visiting Apton, meeting suppliers, catching up with the team there and bringing our dream day together and we’ll definitely miss it but we honestly cannot thank everyone there enough for what they did for us, everyone worked so hard to make our day what it was and always with a smile on their faces.
Thanks for everything and we wish you all a Happy New Year 🎊
