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 130 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 Mulberry Suite is furnished with two 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 23 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.

The most perfect day!
WOW WOW WOW!
We got married on 22/09/2024, and what a day! From the minute we viewed the venue at one of Mulberry's amazing wedding shows we knew IT WAS THE ONE!
The whole proceeds of wedding planning was made so easy with the support from Claire, Jo, Natalie and Chloe.
All emails were answered pretty much straight away and the lovely ladies on reception were always so helpful if we called up!
Nothing was too difficult for the team. A fussy eater bride… no problem. There were so many options to choose from and Nick, the head chef couldn’t be more accommodating! So thank you.
The wedding taster evening was fantastic! Live entertainment and the chance to sample the dishes you can’t quite decide between!
The wedding day itself…. The most perfect blur!
The girls arrived at 8am, make up and hair team ready to go! We had so much space! A getting ready room and breakfast room! Breakfast rolls and mini hasbrowns washed down by pink fizz! The boys had their own space too to get ready away from the girls! Perfect!
Claire and Jo made every part of my vision come true! From setting the setting the ceremony room up with the little details to making the wedding dinner room beautiful! Couldn’t have wished for anything more!
The food was ON POINT! So many positive reactions from our guests! Especially the brownie!
The waiting staff and bar staff all fabulous! Couldn’t do enough for us throughout the day! Sammy and her team really are amazing! Harley too. He’s served us many times at various trips at Mulberry and it was a pleasure to have him on our wedding day! He was great!
The evening …. Again amazing! Beautiful set up. Our centre pieces were moved from one room to another. No grief for the staff at all! They always saved us one of everything (even if we didn’t get round to trying it all) 🙈
The whole venue was pristine! Beautifully clean. Toilets and rooms spotless! Sammy, Linda and all the ladies you’re a real token! The grounds were also kept beautifully! And the black swans made an appearance which was extra special!
Thousands of photo opportunities in the beautiful grounds and so many different options for your special day!
Overall the day went super fast but it really was the perfect blur!
Thank you so much for everything Mulberry House! 💗🤍

Perfect wedding! Owen’s - October
We had the most amazing wedding day at Mulberry house, from every meeting leading up to the day the team kept us up to date and checked in on us in our wedding planning. The team on the day specifically Jo was incredible and made our day run so smoothly! The food and drinks were delicious, and all our family and friends told us what a brilliant day it was and how great the venue did. The day was above and beyond what we expected, every staff member was perfect and it really was the BEST DAY EVER, thanks to Mulberry house, we want to live the day over and over again! Amazing food, delicious drinks, beautiful house and scenery, friendly team, organisation of the day was perfect, what more could you ask for!

The Best Wedding Venue in Essex
We had our wedding at Mulberry House September 2024 and it was the best wedding I could have asked for and that was all thanks to the expertise and skills of everyone at Mulberry House.
From the day we arranged to book our wedding with Mulberry House, they offered tremendous support and helped at every stage. They are very professional and incredibly organised with the lead up to your wedding and spot on running the day for you. I could trust them completely.
All my guests had a brilliant time and complimented how wonderful, warm and brilliant the staff were as well as how gorgeous and well kept the grounds are.
The food was amazing too. Everything was just brilliant!
Thank you Mulberry house for making our day the best we could have asked for. Special Thanks to Chloe, Claire O'Sullivan and the Faisal and all the team who worked on our day and the wonderful waitress who had a dance with us all. (29.09.24)

Best Team & Venue!
We were aware of Mulberry House prior to becoming engaged, but once we were engaged we viewed Mulberry House along with a few other venues in Essex and Mulberry House stood out from the start.
The quality and attention to detail around the grounds, building and accommodation is incredible and made for beautiful photographs. We had an outdoor ceremony by the lake, however the cedar suite used for indoor ceremonies is just as beautiful. The marquee is crisp and clean, we noticed other venues looked a bit grey/grubby but that was not the case at Mulberry House!
The accommodation has recently been refurbished, it's clean and beautifully decorated and comes together nicely with the venue. Breakfast the morning after is also incredible!
Food was amazing (and Halal!), they catered to various dietary requirements including, gluten, dairy and caffeine free. Provided non-alcoholic options for toasts and reception drinks for pregnant and muslim guests.
Finally, the staff are amazing and make you feel like part of the family. From booking a viewing, to booking the wedding, questions etc and on the day of the wedding everyone is helpful and extremely good at their jobs!!

The perfect venue with stunning grounds and even better staff!
We've just had our wedding at Mulberry House and I am so glad we chose this perfect venue for our wedding. The grounds and house itself are just stunning and made for the perfect setting.
Jo and her team were just amazing. The last thing you want on your wedding day is having to think about the timings of everything, how things look and is everyone having a good time - it's supposed to be about us. Jo and her team made sure this was not the case for us and everything ran so perfectly without us having to think about anything. We could focus on having a great time ourselves, and getting in all the important things like time for just us, drinks and of course the photos.
I could not recommend Mulberry House enough, all the in laws have been talking about is doing it all over again, and if i could- I would be straight back to Mulberry House!!!
Thank you all so much for our perfect day!!!

The perfect venue!! (With incredible vegan food!)
We had the absolute best wedding day thanks to the Mulberry House Team. We couldn’t have picked a better venue! All of our guests were amazed by the beautiful grounds and the ease at which the day proceeded, and the general treatment by Mulberry House Team. Our guests continue to say they have never seen a couple enjoy and relax so much on their wedding day and a lot of that was down to the amazing staff. Throughout the whole planning process, we felt cared for and looked after, even with bumps and unforeseeable problems along the way, which the Mulberry House Team tackled amazingly! Special shout out to them for holding our hand through the process as we were planning the wedding from another country.
I myself am vegan, and my husband is a chef, so we wanted a venue that could make the most bangin’ vegan food - and boy did they deliver!! Even our most meat-loving guests were blown away by the menu. It was INCREDIBLE!
We both said immediately the next day that we wanted to do it all over again! That’s a testament to everyone involved in making it such an amazing, special day.
Thank you so much.

Mulberry House MAGIC ✨ 🪄
From the day we set foot in mulberry house to view for a potential venue for our wedding we felt totally at ease and knew it was exactly where we would love to get married, friendly staff, beautiful grounds, venue, and feel good vibe sealed it for us.
From our very 1st meeting with Jo and all the staff they couldn’t do enough for you. Communication was spot on, planning meetings, you could see your were in professional hands, it’s what they do and they just do it so well !
On the day Claire was with us at every step and anything we needed was immediately resolved making the whole day flow and stress free. All our suppliers worked seamlessly with the venue making it a truly unforgettable day. So would suggest to go with their recommended suppliers.
We had a magical day and can’t thank Claire and the team enough.

Fantastic Venue
They made me and now husband feel very calm. They made it flow very well and didn't have to worry about what was happening next. My husband suffered from anxiety and they made him feel calm they allowed him to take his time to get himself together, and Claire looked after him by making a special drink to make him feel better. I will 100% recommend this beautiful venue and will be back for our anniversary.

A truly magical venue!
The entire wedding planning journey felt easy and incredibly smooth from the moment we booked our date, and was actually made to feel enjoyable (no stress whatsoever) thanks to the amazing Mulberry House team!
Every tiny detail was carefully thought through and nothing was too much to ask for. It really is true when people say they go above and beyond! Our guests had an amazing time and couldn’t stop saying how beautiful the venue was. And were also blown away by the quality of the food.
Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to, and whilst we’d love to take all the credit for it, it was all thanks to the staff and Mulberry House team who made our day truly magical - not just for us but for all our guests too.
We 100% recommend booking Mulberry House for your wedding, you’d be silly not to!

Our magical perfect
I can’t even put into words how amazing our day was. From booking the venue back in October 22, to visiting their open days. Open communication throughout the planning period, the team went above and beyond and made it all a breeze. The day before we had an unexpected issue and required an earlier access - Claire kindly came in extra early to assist. Nothing was too much for her. Everything throughout the day ran so smooth with Claire, she was like my very own fairygod mother. I was 34 weeks pregnant on our special day and Claire made sure everything was ok, constantly bringing us refreshments and some food during our photos. Checking we were both ok. We felt so comfortable with her and honestly couldn’t have done it without her.
The rest of the staff also went above and beyond throughout the day too. All of the guests kept complimenting the staff and couldn’t believe how lovely they were. You can tell how much they all love their job and it really shine with the service the team provide. We can’t recommend them enough.
The venue is stunning. We had minimal and rustic theme, but the venue decor made it look outstanding.
