Absolutely perfect in every way

Our daughter's wedding here was a 'Twilight Ceremony and Reception' at Prested Hall for around 90 guests and we also booked all their accommodation for the wedding party.
The Groom's family and some friends travelled from the US and honestly, Emily and her team at Prested couldn't have done enough for us all.
Absolutely perfect in every way - the buffet was amazing and the rooms quaintly perfect.
A superb 'morning after' buffet breakfast in the orangery for the guests that stayed. Cannot praise it enough.
If you are thinking of booking an occasion here -don't hesitate.
Such a magical day

Our wedding day was such a magical day, thanks to Prested Hall Hotel.
My wife and I feel like we are only now getting back to normality since getting wed a month ago at Prested Hall.
What a crazy journey, but so much fun and our wedding day was such a magical day.
Leanne Walsh (Events Manager) and her team deserve all our praise for making our wedding such a wonderful event.
Their help and support from when we first approached them to be our wedding venue, all the way through the build up, the wedding day itself and on departure, the following day after breakfast - they were absolutely marvellous.
From helping guests on the day and guiding my wife and I through the wedding, Leanne and her team were brilliant and we couldn't have asked for a better venue, a better team or a better day.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Love Mr & Mrs Scott
The Perfect Wedding Location!

The perfect wedding location- it was stunning.
The ceremony was held outside in the grounds by the river, followed by the wedding breakfast in the beautiful marquee.
As the sun shone hotter, one side of the marquee was completely opened by staff to give a lovely breeze and beautiful backdrop.
We moved into the main house for the evening reception. Staff were attentive yet discreet and all I can say is that it was absolutely perfect in every way.
We stayed overnight in a large room with a huge bed. A couple of stairs led down to the separate toilet and enormous bathroom, with a big, Art Deco style bath.
Homemade biscuits and a large bottle of water were a lovely touch in the room.
A big thank you to all of the staff, but especially to our son and new daughter-in-law's wedding planner Emily, so friendly, kind, understanding and helpful yet so professional in every respect.
I would not hesitate to recommend here for a wedding, we will treasure the memories forever.

A Dream Come True

We held our December 22nd 2017 wedding at Prested Hall. We are so happy we chose this venue as it truly did make our wedding day a dream come true. Rachel Hull was our wedding advisor at the venue and she is amazing. Nothing is too much trouble or too much effort. All of our guests commented on how beautiful everything looked and the food was superb. The whole day ran so smoothly and I have no doubt at all that this was down to Rachel and other members of staff. We wanted an intimate cosy welcoming wedding and prested Hall delivered, it ticked all the boxes. We also found it most convenient that 10 of us could stay the night before in the apartments. I am still walking on air. Prested Hall and staff - Thank you
Our day was flawless!

My new husband and I got married at Prested Hall 2nd December and words cannot describe just how wonderful this venue is. Our day was flawless and this was entirely down to the fantastic staff and most especially our excellent wedding planner Kathryn. The whole planning process was completely free of stress thanks to the guidance and hard work of Kathryn. We really cannot praise her high enough. The venue has an intimate / warm vibe to it and we felt instantly relaxed whenever we visited. This was enhanced by the fact every single staff member encountered was extremely helpful and friendly, nothing ever too much trouble. Our guests were universally delighted with their rooms which were all immaculate and combined character with modern convenience. My Mum has mobility problems and stayed in the ground floor bedroom. She could not stop raving about how wonderful the room was, especially the bathroom which was huge with a walk in shower. There is a choice of 2 bridal suites, the “Dingle” which is a little cottage away from the main building or room 1 within the main hotel. We picked the latter because it was beautifully characterful with wooden beams, a huge bed and bath with stunning views of the lake. The food served was plentiful and sumptuous, we had many compliments from guests commenting that it was the best food they’d eaten at any wedding. High praise indeed! Staff as ever were attentive throughout the meal and drinks were flowing. The venue itself is set amongst picturesque Essex countryside which as nature enthusiasts we really loved. However it also benefits from excellent transport links and is easily accessible by road and public transportation. Thank you so much to all at Prested Hall you really are wonderful!
Thank you Prested Hall!

Prested Hall was the only wedding venue that we visited. We fell in love with it straight away. We wanted a venue that was relatively secluded but not hard to find, exclusively ours once booked and had a country house feel without being so big that our wedding guests ended up divided in to different rooms. Prested Hall provided us with all of these with an added and unexpected bonus, Kathryn Everitt. We had expected to plan our whole wedding so when we found out that our booking with Prested came with an event planner we were instantly feeling a little less stressed. We dealt with two great members of staff before Kathryn was allocated to us for our big day. All of the staff are friendly and nothing feels like it is too much trouble. Kathryn and the rest of the team had everything covered from the moment we booked to the minute we checked out the day after our wedding. This meant that we could enjoy our day knowing that everything would be perfect. Even if there were any hiccups on the day we still don't know about them even now as the staff at Prested had everything covered. Thank you Prested Hall!
The most amazing and special day

My husband and I recently held our wedding at Prested Hall and simply had the most amazing and special day.
The day itself took place after a relatively short engagement of six months, but despite the limited time frame, our ceremony and reception were delivered without a hitch, and without any stress. We wanted an intimate and personalised wedding, and this is exactly what we were given by the wonderful team at Prested. Melissa, our wedding co-ordinator, provided helpful advice, great communication and took care to understand our requirements. We finished the day off in style with a stay in the beautiful bridal suite. Other members of our families stayed too, and joined us for breakfast the following morning which was lovely.
I’ll treasure the memories from our wedding day forever, and would like to thank the whole team at Prested for making it absolutely perfect!
Fantastic Wedding Venue

Prested Hall is a fantastic wedding venue and we can’t recommend it enough. We got married there on the 14th October 2017 and had the most amazing day. It was the only venue we visited and booked it straight away as we loved it so much and it was perfect for the small intimate wedding we wanted. I stayed in one of the apartments and had dinner in the Bistro with the girls the night before the wedding, both of which I recommend. On the morning of the wedding Kathryn came and moved both ourselves and my dress into the bridal suite in the main building which is a beautiful room and was so lovely to get ready for the day in as well as staying in that night. Our guests also commented how happy they were with their lovely bedrooms. We got married in the Oak Room which is a beautiful room and was ideal for the small ceremony we wanted. All the food from the wedding breakfast to the evening buffet to breakfast the next morning was lovely with good portion sizes. Luckily we had beautiful weather on the day so were able to get some amazing photos in the stunning grounds. Our wedding co-ordinator Kathryn was just brilliant from the day we booked the wedding through to and including the day itself, everything ran so smoothly and nothing was too much trouble, we couldn’t have asked for a more lovely person to work with and we can’t thank her and the team enough for making our day perfect in every way.
Best Wedding Ever

Just wow. 18 months of planning for the best day of my life. Married just 2 days ago and cannot fault a single second. My event co-ordinator was amazing and looked after us from start to finish. I was close to tears when she clocked off in the evening as I wanted her to stay and party with us. The staff were amazing, the food was gorgeous and I cannot rate this place high enough. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and we've had many a "best wedding ever" comment.
Thank you so much xxxx

We held our wedding reception at Prested Hall on the 30th September and the day would have struggled to go any smoother. From the first time we viewed Prested Hall to leaving the morning after the wedding, our experience of Prested has been without fault. Our Events Manager was Kathryn who has the perfect mix of professionalism and warmth. In the 7 months that we were in contact with Kathryn she has never been anything other than genuine and personable, offering valuable advice based on her experience and being responsive to any of our questions/queries. Our day was extremely well organised at all stages and especially in the lead up to the wedding with Kathryn contacting our various suppliers in the run up to confirm timings, to on the day making sure that the marquee and cake was set up correctly prior to our arrival, through into the evening reception. You appreciate that someone has done an excellent job when you haven’t worried about any of the details on the day as you know you are in safe hands. Another big plus point for us was the ability to stay in the main building on the wedding night and the option to take the apartments by the Spa. I didn’t see the apartments but the rooms in the hotel are lovely, being tastefully and sympathetically decorated in keeping with the style of the house. A flawless day which is testament to the hard work of everyone at Prested. I cannot recommend the venue highly enough if you are looking for somewhere to have a stress-free wedding day in a beautiful setting. I am sure this will not be our last visit to Prested.
Everything was perfect!

We hosted our wedding at Prested Hall in late September and accommodated as many family and friends as we could there on the night. Our events manager Melissa was fantastic - providing us with support long before the week of the wedding and during the week itself was instrumental with calming those wedding nerves :)
Everything was perfect; from the warm professionalism shown by all the team at Prested Hall to the wedding breakfast and the fluid nature of the event.
The guests had an extremely comfortable stay overnight and have all since provided feedback to us that this was truly an event in which they felt welcomed in a genuine manner by all at Prested.
This hospitality in of itself is priceless and we would like to again extend a thanks to Melissa and crew and recommend this venue wholeheartedly for those who would like to hold a wedding here in future.
