Hutton Hall is a pristine estate based in Brentwood, Essex. This wedding venue is set in the middle of eight acres of beautifully manicured gardens in a stunning location opposite the village church. The team offer couples a choice of where they have their reception either inside a large marquee or to have a more intimate wedding breakfast inside the Hall.

Facilities and Capacity

The marquee at Hutton Hall can seat up to 120 guests and is near a rich rose garden with backdrop views of the house and grounds. The historic Blue Room, Grand Hall and Library offer great celebration spaces for guests to gather and use for the drinks reception, the wedding breakfast and the evening reception. The venue also offers couples the option to have an outdoor civil ceremony, located in a beautiful tranquil position in the garden. While the dressing room is something that is so beautiful it must be seen to be believed. Guest-of-honours have the luxury of getting ready with their wedding party in a large, high ceiling, white preparation room and adjoining listed panelled bedroom with fabulous views of the sweeping drive and front gardens. The grand-sized bathroom adds to this luxury with chandeliers and a freestanding bathtub.

Our amazing wedding day!

I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude to you both, and your amazing team of staff. From the day we booked, to enjoying breakfast the morning after the wedding, you have spoiled us with such a personal level of service. I honestly felt as if our wedding day was a luxury house party. It felt so intimate from start to finish. I've often said that, you wouldn't be greeted with the same level of personable service at a large cooperate venue. This is what made our wedding day so very special.
A special mention to the incredible Ray, who ensured our wedding day went smoothly, as well as keeping on top of the beautiful roaring fires! Also, a special mention to Marion, who ended up driving me and my Mum to the church when the rain scuppered my country walk plans. All our very dear friends and family, have complimented us on such a beautiful venue choice, and how it is possibly the best wedding they've ever been to.
So, thank you once again for all you did. May we wander the country lane for weekends to come, dreaming of our very special wedding day at Hutton Hall.

Venue of our dreams!

Hutton Hall had everything we were looking for from a venue its stunning and has the wow factor plus for me with the beautiful village church based just at the back of the grounds, over the little wooden bridge it couldn't have been more perfect for a church wedding and then reception location!
We hired the bridal suite and bedrooms the night before the wedding so we had access to the light, bright and lovely preparation room for myself, mum and bridesmaids to get ready with an early start on the day.

The marquee set up for the wedding breakfast was beautiful overlooking the grounds and the fountains and with the sides up as it was a nice day was just perfect.

I was initially a little worried about the space as we had 100 guests in the day time, and 30+ in the evening, but I shouldn't have been concerned as it worked brilliantly and never felt overcrowded. The dancefloor even though it's a separate room was constantly busy all night and the courtyard and main hall and bars were perfect for people to mingle!

We had so many compliments from friends and family about what a great venue and day it was and we were honestly thrilled.

The Georgian Manor house with its high ceilings and beautiful features was ideal as we wanted light and airy, with a feeling of glamour / grandeur. I have to say it had all this, while also feeling intimate.
We fell in love with Hutton Hall straight away, and booked very quickly after our first viewing. Francesca and Paula are brilliant and answered all my many questions and worked with us to coordinate the day. They also work with a great selection of their tried and tested suppliers who are not only nice people but deliver a top class service.

I cannot recommend Hutton Hall enough, and if you have any doubts over the suppliers included in the packages, we can confirm Limeberry catering provided a slick service the food was delicious, hot and well presented with a lovely team of waiting staff and DJ AJ (Paul G) was fantastic keeping the dancefloor busy all night too. They have such a great team on board here, which makes life so much easier as a bride, if I'd have known how great it was going to be, i wouldn't have wasted less time worrying about the little things!

Thank you so much for the best day of our lives.

The most magical day

Seamless day in the most beautiful venue. From the moment I viewed Hutton Halls website i knew it would be our venue. The whole building is stunning - from the blue room to the bridal prep room to the grounds.

It is run by the two loveliest ladies - Paola and Francesca who are always on hand to answer (my many!) questions.

The evening before myself and my bridesmaids stayed at the venue which I recommend doing as it made the build up so special. Paola bought us a nice cold bottle of Prosecco up and a lovely cup of tea for me (my favourite!). We ordered in food and had a really relaxed luxurious night in their beautiful bedrooms - the huge bridal suite bath is a must!

The day of the wedding was seamless. Everyone who came said it was the most beautiful venue they’d been to. The entrance hall when you walk in is breathtaking and there are many silk flower arrangements around helping the decor of the day look extra stunning.

The food on the day was spectacular. We used Limeberry who are a preferred supplier of the venue and I’m extremely fussy on food but wow - they really blew us away! The food was plentiful (nothing worse than being hungry at a wedding but no chance here!) and Angie who ran the catering side was super helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The dishes were made gluten free with no issue and were delicious.

Our day was just everything we had dreamed of and more - the photos are breathtaking. I can’t thank Paola enough for pulling together the day of my dreams and being so friendly and helpful along the way.

If you’re thinking of holding your wedding here it’ll be the best choice you’ve made. It was a fairytale day

Timeless, beautiful venue

Hutton Hall was everything we were looking for in our venue, and did not disappoint on the day. It was absolutely stunning, offering we wanted very conveniently located next to each other: huge and luxurious bridal suite and guest rooms, outside ceremony area, beautiful gardens for champagne reception and garden games, stunning marquee for the dinner, spacious areas inside for dancing, seating areas and two bars, and beautiful fairy light courtyard for our evening pizza. The team behind Hutton Hall are what make this venue truly ideal though. We felt supported and in very safe hands throughout the planning process and on the day, and truly felt like the whole team genuinely wanted our day to run perfectly...and it really did! You won't be disappointed!

The best day ever!

We had the best day at Hutton Hall. The building and grounds are beautiful and all of the staff are lovely! Paola helped us organise everything and answered all of our questions promptly. She supported us throughout the delays due to covid and was very understanding. We had the most magical day and Hutton Hall made it run smoothly and stress free! Definitely recommend.

A BIG mistake that we deeply regret

I would love to have written good feedback for this venue but sadly our wedding was not enjoyable for us at all and we wish we did not book to have it here. We were promised a totally different experience to what we actually received on the day. The staff were not professional with us at all. From the moment we booked communication was difficult and nobody was attentive to our needs or asking about where things need to be etc or what the plan for the day was or anything. *****’s main concern as me and my bridal party arrived was keeping the door closed so the venue didn't get cold, instead of warmly welcoming us. We had several bags and dresses to carry in so we needed the door open so we could do this. It was in fact very hot inside and I politely on more than one occasion asked for the heating to be turned off everywhere as it was on full blast and seemed like it had been for a while. I had to chase her several times throughout the afternoon for things, one of which was the 'PA system' we were told was in the hall and the blue room, it turned out to be just a bluetooth speaker which was baffling. I also had to ask for the wifi password several times. It felt like not much was prepared for our arrival. As a bride I should not be chasing any of these things and it was all just very stressful when I should have been focussing on getting ready. Before my wedding I was asked around what time we would want drinks and some sandwiches sent up which I thought was a really lovely gesture. When I asked about it on the day I was told there was no food or drink but they could run to the shops to get us some (I really wasn't fussed or desperate for it but why say you're going to do this and then have nothing?). The saddest part was my husband had arranged with the venue to have 100 red roses and some gifts delivered to me but nobody actually opened the gates to let the delivery people in so I never received my gifts and my husband was left very upset and called me to apologise as I was getting ready. A waste of money and just a really sad memory to be honest. His mistake for trusting them with it.

Although it was the first thing I had asked when we arrived, sadly the heating wasn't actually turned off in every room and the result of this was that the blue room was horribly hot during the ceremony and by 8.30pm when dancing began in that same room it was a complete sauna, guests were dripping in sweat as were we. We physically could not dance in there. It was roasting and you're not allowed to open the windows, after a certain time in the evening (around 7-8pm) they close the shutters. Nobody was on hand to help turn it off and by this time it was far too late to cool the room down with all that heat and all those people. In stark contrast the marquee was freezing with no heating and our guests kept leaving the dinner to warm up inside, I was so embarrassed afterwards when friends told us they were all freezing cold as people never forget these things and their memory of our wedding will be this. It’s also worth noting that security is placed at the front door in the evening and it is locked so you and your guests have to leave your wedding from a side entrance. None of this was explained to us before we booked. Neither was the fact that you cannot have music and dancing in the marquee and everyone must come inside by 9pm, the music inside also cannot go over a specific decibel amount either. This wasn't explained when we took the tour and we only found this out once we had given over the deposit. Whilst our guests tried to enjoy canapés and socialising ***** stood by the front door making sure it was shut every time anyone went in or out. We are still in a pandemic, we needed fresh air. I think the main concern was not letting any noise of people talking reach outside? it's very strange as there are no neighbours for quite some distance, I understand this is probably a requirement for them but people need to know this before choosing to have one of the most important days of their life here. Another staff member ******** was around for part of the day and we thought this was to help coordinate things but it seemed more like supervision and checking what was going on. We were made to feel totally unwelcome and our guests noted that the staff at the venue were not polite and were more interested in policing the event rather than making sure everyone was accommodated and happy. It was very embarrassing to hear this from our friends and family who should have enjoyed themselves.

***** allowed us to hire the venue on a dry hire basis and bring our own drinks (which I think they do not normally do and her partner was not actually very happy about) but at one point ******** started to shout at our guests that they weren't allowed to pour drinks, but this is what we had agreed with the venue, the message was not passed on to the staff working that day and this caused a huge misunderstanding between some of the guests and my father, all this was going on as we tried to enjoy our wedding day. After a while no staff were visible for help apart from the security at the front door and he was the only person who was helpful and friendly the entire day. Another massive disappointment was that we were told we could use the fireplace, it was sold as the guests can come inside and be cosy and have the fireplace on but when we asked to put it on we were told maintenance hadn’t been done on it so it could not be used. Just awfully disappointing. Another important thing to note, not necessarily negative but good to know - the venue is very bitty. You cannot have your dinner in the same room as your dancing etc, the dinner is in the marquee and dancing is only allowed inside the actual building. It’s not really fit for purpose as a wedding venue because of the noise restrictions in my humble opinion and this should be made very apparent when booking. We had about 100 guests and it felt like way too much for inside the actual house, even though they say it has capacity for 120. The ceremony room cannot fit more than around 60 people (comfortably) in my opinion, even though they say 100 can fit, we had around 80 and it was too crowded. We were glad when it was over which is a terrible thing to say about your own wedding. If we could do it all again some other place, we 100% would.

Fabulous wedding venue

The bridal party arrived just after 10 o’clock to be greeted with a lovely smile and hug from Paola. We were left to get on with our preparations. But someone was on hand to help if needed.
What a fantastic venue. Lovely people. Fabulous grounds. We didn’t want to leave. Thank You to everyone at Hutton Hall for a great day.

This place has it all!

We recently attended a wedding at this stunning venue as a guest and I must say it was one of the most beautiful weddings I have been to. Everything was perfect. There are so many stunning places to have photos taken inside and outside. We had a beautiful day. The food was delicious. The service was fantastic. I had my daughter and baby with me and staff offered to carry my bag for me before I had even realised I might be struggling - very attentive. My husband and I got married at one of the best known essex wedding venues and I have to say this seriously rivalled it - although I loved our wedding day, after attending this one I wanted to do it all again & felt compelled to write a review. I was allowed to have a sneak peak and the bridal dressing area - wow - every girls dream! What a fantastic classically beautiful wedding venue steeped in history. And a lovely bar & brilliant party atmosphere in the evening. Everyone had an awesome time and the bride and groom just looked thrilled the whole day and evening.

Fantastic venue

This is a fantastic venue which needs to be seen to be believed. We were married here and the family who run it and the catering staff, Milsoms will accommodate nearly all requirements. They will bend over backwards to assist. I cannot speak more highly of them.
