Mulberry House is a family-owned and operated wedding venue located in High Ongar, England. This Essex estate is nestled on 22 acres of rolling fields, wishing wells, and lakes that create a breathtaking backdrop. The historic house has been subtly converted into a boutique hotel while retaining its origional charm and details. Featuring stunning Georgian architecture mixed with 21st-century additions, this venue is a luxurious and unique setting to hold weddings all year through.

Mulberry House is licensed for civil ceremonies of up to 140 people. The venue has two beautiful wedding reception spaces, both of which come equipped with working bars and can seat between 50 and 140 guests. The Copper Room is furnished with exquisite chandeliers and exposed beams, while the Marquee is draped with white cloth and fairy lights. Before dining and dancing, drinks receptions can be held on the terrace overlooks the grounds and lake. After the festivities, you and your loved ones can retire to the hotel's 25 overnight accommodations. These comfortable and tastefully-designed en-suite bedrooms will allow you to relax and unwind after a fun-filled day with all your friends and family.

Beautiful venue
Had our Wedding here yesterday and honestly can’t recommend Mulberry House enough. The extra mile and detail the staff had gone into was just amazing. All our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue and the staff. Our day was so special. Faz,Jo and Clare and all the bar staff were absolutely amazing you felt like family. A huge thank you to the recommended suppliers we used, Zoe for the piano, Carly&Joe as the Photographer/Videograper, Elisha Florist designs, TJ for the chair decor and Gail Gardner for the hair and make up. You all made our day perfect, every detail every effort and every extra touch ups did not go unnoticed. We will definitely visit again for the events you have. Huge thank you again.

Magical Mulberry House
There is something quite magical about Mulberry House.
The grounds are stunning, the house is beautiful, but it is the team of people that make this venue what it is.
From the first time we viewed it, we knew this would be, where we wanted to get married and we weren’t disappointed.
Right from the get-go, Chloe was on hand to help and answer any questions. We had an amazing food tasting date night and the team were always happy to answer any requests.
On the Special day itself, Jo and Claire were like Mulberry House angels, ensuring things were on time and on plan. Even when I managed to get chocolate on my dress within an hour of being married, Jo dabbed till it disappeared and we carried on with the party with no one any the wiser (thank god)
We used a lot of the recommended suppliers as we wanted to ensure we had people that had worked with the venue before.
Everyone commented on what a beautiful day it was and I’m genuinely so sad its over.

Mr & Mrs Phillips Wedding!
When we first viewed Mulberry House we instantly fell in love with the venue and then we met the team and knew this was the place we wanted to get married.
Our wedding day was perfect and the staff couldn’t do enough for us and our family / friends.
From arrival to the morning after we can’t fault anything with the service we received!
Special mention to Jo and Claire for making our day run so smoothly and looking after us the whole way through. They couldn’t do enough for us. Also Chloe who helped us the whole way through our wedding planning making the process as easy as possible for us always on hand to answer any questions we had along the way.
We can’t wait to visit again in the near future
Thanks for all the memories created!

Wedding at MH 11/06/25
Our wedding at Mulberry House was nothing short of perfect. From the very beginning—nearly a year prior—the planning process was smooth and stress-free. After being turned away by several venues for having a smaller guest list, we were so grateful to find that Mulberry House was not only willing but enthusiastic about creating a bespoke wedding for us.
The team was exceptional during the planning phase: responsive, accommodating, and always just an email or call away. Their professionalism and warmth immediately put us at ease.
On the big day, everything unfolded seamlessly. From our arrival to the final farewell in the evening, every single staff member was friendly, professional, and genuinely kind. They helped create an atmosphere that was both elegant and welcoming.
The grounds at Mulberry House were immaculate and an absolute joy to be in. The beautiful landscaping provided a stunning backdrop for the day, and we’re so grateful for the gorgeous photos we now have to remember it all.
The food was a true highlight—generous portions, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious from start to finish. Many of our guests couldn’t finish their breakfast portions, which says a lot! The dinner service was flawless: tables were beautifully set, utensils spotless, and the courses arrived hot and promptly.
Thanks to the incredible service, attention to detail, and heartfelt hospitality from everyone at Mulberry House, our day was one we’ll cherish forever. It truly was a dream come true.

Our wedding at Mulberry
Me and my partner couldn’t praise Mulberry House enough for their help from start to finish of our wedding planning process. The moment we set foot on the beautiful grounds we knew this was the right venue for us. We loved every aspect of the venue and all the team at mulberry made us feel so welcome from the first day when we came to view it, to all the open days in between to the actual day.
Throughout the planning they was so helpful and their communication was amazing with answering any worries we had and advising on different aspects.
On the day they was simply amazing nothing was to much trouble all the staff on the day were super helpful and friendly the food was spectacular and the venue itself if you added no styling is just magical. We had so
many compliments from guests on the venue and how beautiful it was and how nice the staff was throughout the day.
We couldn’t recommend Mulberry House enough to anyone looking for their dream wedding venue. Mulberry helped so much to make our PErfect day and we are so happy to now be apart of the Mulberry family

An INCREDIBLY special day - and more than we could have ever expected!
There are not enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe what an amazing experience it was to have our special day with Mulberry House. Right from booking the venue, to planning and refining in the run up, to then soaking up our wedding day, it was a truly magical and memorable on all fronts.
There was consistent contact and support right throughout from Wedding Co-Ordinators Chloe and Nicola, where no question or request was ever too much. Before the big day, there was ample opportunity to look around the venue and take in how it could be planned out and ask about how we could make it our own. The menu tasting evening a few months before was great to try the full selection of their food on offer and settle on what we enjoyed most and felt like the best banquet we'd ever had - even at this stage!
Then on our wedding day, everything went like a breeze, where you never felt worried, stressed or concerned at any moment. The great thing about Mulberry House is that you can have both options of having your wedding inside or outside; unfortunately for us in rained too much to have on their gorgeous lawn. But it was equally as amazing inside in their Copper Room, finalising with ease on the day where we would tie the knot. The ceremony was everything we could have imagined, assisted by staff in the morning to make it look perfect.
Then coming onto the food and hospitality, every single member of staff whether they're front-of-house, chefs, receptionists or managers Jo & Claire were so attentive and friendly, you couldn't have asked for better service. The food was easily the best meals we've ever had in our lives, choosing their BBQ Platter and every one of our guests that we spoke to commented on how delicious everything was. We customised our meal, adding Beef Brisket to the Breakfast and it turned out to arguably be the best decision of the whole wedding process 😂
Mulberry House now feel like close family and friends as to the level of detail, care and love that they poured into our day. We cannot recommend them enough on all fronts, whether it be service, food, decor or value for money. If you want your special day to be flawless from start to finish, then this is the venue for you.
