The Most Amazing Day!
Had our wedding on 22.08.2025, Blake Hall made it so easy on the day - there was absolutely no stress, everyone was so helpful and attentive, the staff were absolutely amazing - Dave, Natalie and Shannon were so friendly and couldn't be more helpful with setting up and keeping track of what was happening - anything you needed, they were there. We were looked after from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The little check ins and updates in the morning from Natalie and Shannon like coming to let us know when the boys had arrived on sight and that everything had been set up kept us all very calm and excited for our day.
You know you're in for an amazing day when the staff get excited for your day too!
The food was fab and everyone can't stop telling us how perfect the day was and how beautiful the venue is.
Thanks so much to all the team at Blake Hall (the gardeners and staff behind the scenes need a mention too as the grounds are absolutely pristine) and Waters Edge Catering for making our day run so perfectly. We had the best day, it was better than we could have ever imagined.-

Amazing wedding venue
Blake Hall is the most amazing wedding venue, from the beautifully manicured gardens, the two beautiful Barns where the ceremony can be held and the other for the wedding breakfast and evening party!
The food was outstanding, with so many compliments from our guests on the day.
The team really can't do enough to look after you and ensure the day runs smoothly.
A special thanks to Dave, Danni and Victoria for the food and smooth running of our day.
It really was the best day of our lives and we are so glad we chose Blake Hall as our venue x

Wedding 30/08/2026
We got married at Blake Hall on 30/08/2026, and from our very first venue viewing right through to the big day, the whole process was seamless. The team at Blake Hall are genuine superstars, and Waters Edge, the catering company run by Dave, was phenomenal too.
Danni, our wedding manager, was fantastic — easy to talk to throughout the planning, and on the day she and her team took all the pressure off me and my wife, letting us truly enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime day.
The venue itself is truly breathtaking. The night before, my wife and her wedding party stayed in the old coach house and got ready there the next morning, while my groomsmen and I got ready in the potting shed — a lovely touch in itself.
All in all, the venue, staff, and overall experience at Blake Hall were truly fantastic. I can’t recommend them enough!Blake Hall Weddings's reply:
Dear Jordan, thank you so much for your fabulous comments and for taking the time to post this. I can not tell you how much it means to us and I will make sure that Danni and Dave see it too. We just loved hosting your wonderful wedding day and are forever grateful that you both chose Blake Hall as the venue for such a happy and beautiful day. Please come back and see us again soon. With many thanks and wishing you both all the best, from all the BH team -

The best wedding venue in Essex!
The whole team at Blake Hall and Watersedge Catering are a huge credit to this venue. Their kindness, professionalism and hard work was so evident and we've had so many guest compliment on how lovely not only the venue is but, how amazing each employee that works here is.
The food was phenomenal and we are so thankful for all of the different meals and substitutions they made for us for everyone with a dietary requirement. My step dad usually isn't able to eat a lot at weddings due to his dairy allergy but he was so grateful that, not only could he eat all 3 courses at the wedding breakfast but, he also had a dairy free pizza in the evening.
Natalie and Vanessa, helped the day run so smoothly. We never felt rushed and it's thanks to them both that we really got to not only experience the day but enjoy every minute of it.
We are so grateful that we booked Blake Hall for our wedding. The venue, the food, the staff and the atmosphere cannot be beaten and we honestly had the best day of our lives and the whole team here were huge contributors towards that.Blake Hall Weddings's reply:

The most perfect Venue & Team!
Blake Hall was the very first venue we visited when we started planning our wedding, and we completely fell in love. Although we viewed several other barn-style venues afterwards, and cancelled many more, we knew Blake Hall was the one. It didn’t need to be sold to us, everything about it felt perfect from the moment we arrived.
Every member of the team is incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The barns themselves are absolutely stunning, the accommodation is beautiful, and the wedding day was truly a dream. Everything ran so smoothly, which is a huge credit to Danni, our wedding manager, and the rest of the team for making the day seamless.
We genuinely had the best day of our lives and will never forget everything the team at Blake Hall did to make it so special. We will be forever grateful and cannot recommend Blake Hall highly enough.

Smashed it!
We had the most amazing experience at Black Hall. Danni and Dave were so attentive throughout, always making sure everything ran smoothly and that we had everything we needed. Their calm and professional approach helped everything feel stress-free. A special thank you to Shannon, who was incredibly helpful on the morning of the wedding with the table set up with the mini-bridesmaids. Everyone's support and friendly presence made such a difference and helped us start the day off right. We felt so well looked after from start to finish!Blake Hall Weddings's reply:
Thank you so much Kim for posting this and for your lovely words. We just so enjoyed being a part of your wonderful wedding and I will make sure Danni, Dave and Shannon read your fabulous comments. It was such a special day with so many wonderful personal touches. Thank you for choosing BH as the venue for your wedding and please do keep in touch. With love from all the team. -

Beyond Incredible
I would 1000% recommend Blake Hall to anyone. It was perfection. It was smooth from start to finish, nothing was too big an ask and they strove to make the day as perfect as possible and it really was. The venue is nothing short of stunning, I have never seen such a beautiful venue and EVERYTHING is perfectly laid out - they have thought of everything. The perfectly situated cottage to get ready in and on the doorstep is the doors to the ceremony barn which is incredible. The groom room so the groom & co can get dressed and have a beer before they head into the ceremony barn. The endless beautiful grounds. Then the green which is perfect for drinks and canapes which leads to the reception barn which was beautiful, fairy lights strung everywhere - it looked magical. Natalie was a saviour, answering my messages at any time and making everything as easy and stress free as possible. All the staff that contributed to our big day were absolutely fantastic and helped make the day amazing. Dave & the catering crew provided the best food imaginable and many of our guests told us it was the best venue & food they had ever had at a wedding. Everything exceeded our highest expectations, it was absolutely amazing - thank you to everyone at Blake Hall!Blake Hall Weddings's reply:
Wow!!! Thank you so much Abbie for posting this wonderful review. It really means everything to us and I will definitely make sure Natalie and Dave read your kind words too. We all have so many wonderful memories of your fabulous day and hope you are all keeping well. -

The Perfect Day
When I first stepped into Blake Hall I knew it was where I wanted to get married, it is just exceptionally beautiful. The barns and grounds are perfect- they almost don't need any decoration because they are a statement by themselves. If you are a considering a barn wedding, then please arrange visit because I do not think the pictures do it justice.
It was also brilliant having a place to stay onsite for the bride and her bridal party the night before the wedding- this took a lot of stress out of the morning. And they have a beautiful honeymoon cottage onsite for the night of the wedding, alongside 3 other lovely cottages (great for elderly guests who want to go to bed a bit earlier!). Check out was at 12 the next day and very relaxed.
Then, the staff. They are exceptional and so friendly and helpful. They really went above and beyond on the day, and beforehand were very prompt to answer any questions. Natalie was our planner and she was so helpful throughout the process, and Shannon helped us to set up in the morning and was great at helping to manage my anxiety! I also want to give a shout out to all the staff behind the scenes or helping on the morning who I didn't meet but were so good at replying to emails and making sure we had given them all the information they needed. Also a big shout out to Dave, the head of Waters Edge Catering who cater for all Blake Hall weddings- Dave was so flexible with all our last minute changes and requests, so helpful on the day with many things (not just catering related things- he walked all over the venue with me trying to find a pair of trainers at one point, and rescued me from several daddy longlegs!). Not to mention the food is absolutely delicious, with a wide choice of options, and you can arrange to do a tasting session beforehand (which I strongly recommend because then you get to eat it twice, win-win).
I also recommend going to the suppliers events that they host, where you can not only see the venue again, but meet a wide range of suppliers who are familiar with working at Blake Hall and recommended by them. I found my florist, fairy light coordinator (a must!) and my MUA through attending this!
We loved it so much we hope to return to the Harvest Lunch next year for our one-year anniversary. We just can't let Blake Hall and its wonderful staff go!Blake Hall Weddings's reply:
Wow! Thank you so much Emma for posting this. It really is appreciated. I will make sure that Dave, Natalie and Shannon read your very lovely comments as I know that they will be blown away. We all love what we do but days like your.s is what makes it very very special. I am so pleased that you wish to come back to the Harvest Lunch and really look forward to seeing you again then. -

Brilliant wedding venue in Essex countryside
We'd looked at 5 venues before we visited Blake Hall. As soon as we stepped into the Hay Barn I knew where I wanted to hold our wedding reception. The barns are spacious, beautiful and airy. The grounds are charming and smart in all seasons. Blake Hall is especially ideal if you like a bit of history in your buildings. There are so many opportunities to personalise your day, especially in terms of decor.
All the Blake Hall team are friendly. Dave and his catering team at Water's Edge are just brilliant, we couldn't have been happier with them.
We didn't know what kind of place we wanted for our wedding, but I don't doubt that Blake Hall was the right choice. We had a fantastic day and were supported all the way through, nothing was left unattended or forgotten.
