Such a beautiful venue, our day was just perfect
We had our very small interment wedding reception at Downham hall and can honestly say that every single member of staff made our day exceptionally special.
Nothing was ever too much trouble with a member of staff always close by to see to our every need.
If you are considering booking your day or special event at Downham Hall please don’t hesitate as you won’t be disappointed.
Can’t thank you all enough, will definitely see you again soon-

Perfection
We celebrated our Wedding Day at Downham Hall on 25th April 26. We got married at St Margaret's Church just up the hill and then had the rest of our day at Downham Hall.
We had around 75 day guests with an extra 30 guests in the evening.
It was the most perfect day ever. Debra was our wedding coordinator and arranged everything, she was warm, caring and so on the ball she made sure our wedding day was perfect without any glitches.
We had our welcome drinks in the beautiful orangery and outdoor seating area. The sun was shining and the prosecco was being poured, it was stunning.
Our guests really loved the canapés and their meal, we chose the best location.
Lots of people had warned me that not everything goes to plan on your Wedding Day so expect a few things not to go to plan - but this was not the case at all at Downham Hall. Everything was perfect! Debra and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the most special, beautiful day, we were blown away with how perfect everything was, wish we could do it all again.
The rooms are lovely too and breakfast the next day in the Orangery was delicious - especially the sausages.
Tim the DJ was brilliant, he played all our requests, the dancefloor was packed all night!
Thank you so much to everyone a Downham Hall, we are sooo happy we chose this location to celebrate our Wedding day. We can't wait to come back for Pizza night - especially as I was too busy dancing on the Wedding night that I forgot to eat some pizza!.

Perfect wedding venue
Whilst looking for a wedding venue we came across Downham Hall by pure chance. We attended a wedding open day and was shown around by Andrew who was so passionate about the place. We explained that we wanted our day to reflect us as a couple as well as our individuality. From the moment we booked our special day that's what we got. Communication was fantastic, our requests accommodated and they made the whole process so effortless which truly made the day even more special as we didn't have anything to stress over.
One of our wedding guests was a professional chef and complimented our menu, the ingredients and love that went into preparing the food shone through.
Our day was made even more magical by Downham Hall and the whole team and for that we will forever be grateful!-

Perfect Wedding Venue
We got married at Downham Hall in July 2023 and cannot recommend this venue enough! The location, grounds, rooms and surrounding views are absolutely stunning.
The service was outstanding, the staff worked so hard to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day and were very helpful and informative during the planning process.
The wedding packages they offer are very comprehensive and flexible meaning you can make your wedding day bespoke to you. For example we wanted completely meat free (vegetarian) catering which they were more than happy to create a bespoke menu for us. You also get use of the bridal dressing room and overnight stay in the beautiful hotel rooms included.
I highly recommend you visit the venue to see it for yourself and if you do decide to book it for your wedding day, I’m sure you won’t regret it 💕

Beautiful venue
We had our wedding here 2 days ago. It’s a beautiful venue, the staff were great, really helpful, nothing was a bother when we asked them for anything. The food was fabulous and the accommodation is lovely. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a venue in Essex. -

Hands Down… The Perfect Venue!
We had an extremely tiny, completely bespoke wedding day at Downham Hall. It was absolutely perfect and everything we had hoped it would be. Christina, Debra and all the staff were amazing from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend Downham Hall highly enough. We have been back numerous times since. It’s like coming home. -

Couldn’t have done more for us!
After two cancelled dates due to Covid at another venue, my (now) husband and I decided we were tired of waiting and got in touch with the team at Downham Hall just 5 weeks before we were going to tie the knot.
They really couldn’t have done more to accommodate our last-minute request. The team made us feel so so welcome, the venue was stunning, the food incredible and we had the most amazing day.
I really couldn’t recommend Downham Hall more! -

Perfect Boutique Wedding Venue
Downham Hall proved to be the perfect choice of wedding venue. It's a beautiful country house with stunning grounds and an amazing team, who went above and beyond from start to finish, to make our day perfect. Genuinely can't recommend highly enough. One visit is a all it took for us to know we wanted to get married at Downham Hall and we're both so pleased we did. -

Lizzie & Kyle
Downham Hall allowed us to have our perfect wedding. Even when we were due to get married outdoors and the great British weather turned on us the team were brilliant with changing to an indoor ceremony at the last minute. We were able to choose exactly what food we wanted for our wedding Breakfast and evening meal (even allowing us to provide our own signature cocktail to our guests!) The staff were very attentive throughout the day and the breakfast the morning after with our closest family was amazing! Would highly recommend as a wedding venue. We both still enjoy going back to the venue for meals and afternoon teas now, the views are beautiful and food always amazing! -
