Unforgettable Night, Best Venue in Essex

Beautiful venue, has everything you need! Was a memorable location and great parking for our wedding day for 26th July.

The team were excellent and they have wedding fairs which also made things easier for us to see what it would look like.

A wedding day of dreams

The most perfect venue. If you are considering Hylands Estate, book in a viewing and you will not be disappointed. We are so happy we picked you, such a magical venue, estate and house.

The estate is spectacular, maintained beautifully and it was the most picturesque venue for our wedding day. The bridal suite, bridesmaids rooms and grooms rooms are renovated to perfection and tie in perfectly with the essence of the venue. No other venues within close proximity compare!

So many photo opportunities, a grand venue and we are ever so grateful to Tracey who coordinated our wedding and I can not thank Grace enough for her tremendous efforts on the day. The staff are honestly so lovely, experienced and great at what they do. They went above and beyond and we are forever grateful.

Our guests really enjoyed the day, we were also very lucky with the weather, sunshine and blue skies.

Honestly, it was so beautiful I wish we could do it all again.

Wishing the team the very best for the future.

Thank you,

Anisah and Ridwan

Absolutely Perfect!

Honestly, there aren’t enough words to say great the team at Hylands were. They honestly made the whole wedding planning process seamless and truly enjoyable. From the moment we stepped foot into Hylands Estate for the viewing, we already knew that it would be the venue for us, everyone was so welcoming! We were always kept up to date and informed of anything that we needed to know.

Our wedding day was truly perfect. Grace and the team were so helpful and everyone of the guests had so much praise for them. Whenever you needed assistance you could always find one of the Hylands team at the right time. They really made the day run smoothly.

It is clear that everyone at Hylands really cares for the couples who are getting married and make every effort to make sure they are at ease on the day.

If we could get married again just to relive it all we would in a heart beat!

The best day of our lives!!

We both want to thank Siân and Grace from the bottom of our hearts for helping to organise our wedding. From the very start they have been warm, welcoming and nothing short of brilliant! Whenever we had any queries they were always so responsive and seemed to have ALL of the answers! Hylands house is a spectacular venue but it is only beaten in beauty by the efficiency and professionalism of its staff! We had the best day of our lives and a significant reason for this is because of how excellent it was managed. We both thoroughly recommend Hylands House to other engaged couples looking for their perfect venue, it’s hard to find better!

Venue Sound limits your entertainment

This venue has a sound restriction which could affect the quality of your entertainment. Be mindful, the sound limiter is set too low. My experience was not good. We could barely hear the DJ & live band
