Leah Sent on 19/10/2026If you’re thinking of booking East Mersea Hall, just do it!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. If you’re wondering whether to book East Mersea Hall, just do it! You won’t regret it.
From start to finish, the whole experience was amazing. A huge special thank you to Holly, who ran the day like a well-oiled ship! Everything flowed so smoothly, and we were able to relax, enjoy every moment and soak up the day without worrying about a thing. Holly was absolutely brilliant.
All of our friends commented on how gorgeous the venue was, and one of the biggest standouts for everyone was the BBQ food. It was absolutely fantastic and had so many of our guests talking about it afterwards!
The convenience of having Coopers Beach right next door was another huge bonus. Nearly all of our guests could walk home, which meant we could really make a whole weekend of the wedding rather than just one day. It made everything feel so special.
The church was beautiful, and honestly, how many venues can offer you a gorgeous church and a full wedding reception venue practically in the back garden? It’s such a rare find and made the whole day feel even more magical.
We also couldn’t believe how reasonable the cost was compared with pretty much every other venue we viewed across Essex. You get such a beautiful setting and so much flexibility without the eye-watering price tag of some other venues.
One of our favourite things was how creative we were allowed to be. We had so many ideas we wanted to bring to life, and I genuinely don’t think we received a single “no”! They allowed us to make the day feel completely personal to us, and that meant everything.
East Mersea Hall gave us the most incredible setting for the start of our married life, and we will always be so grateful. Thank you to Holly and the whole East Mersea Hall team for helping make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more.
We just wish we could do it all over again! ❤️ -

Amazing day! Holly and the team were on it all day! We felt very confident and trusted them to just make the day happen which they did with enthusiasm and professionalism from start to finish. The thing we noticed the most was how every member of staff constantly checked in on us or offered encouragement when needed (even during the nervous bits)! You have a great team! Anything we needed we only had to ask! You were flexible, efficient and literally made us feel that nothing was too much of a bother.
The food was great and all our guests commented on how tasty it was!
The venue is stunningly beautiful, we loved how we could just wander off into the grounds and find a quiet spot to just take it all in. We had the most amazing day and the first thing we said to each other the next day was 'can we do it all again!'. -

Samantha Sent on 14/09/2026Phenomenal experience for our wedding!
East Mersea Hall and all of the staff ensured our wedding was the most amazing day we could ever have asked for. Anneka was amazing, she always kept in contact and her organisation and running of the day were fantastic. She planned everything to the exact detail and the day couldn't have gone any better. Thank you to Anneka, Kirsty and all of the staff at the venue for ensuring we had the most amazing wedding we could have ever envisioned. The food was brilliant, the ceremony was so special. We absolutely loved our day and can't stop talking about it. This venue is THE PLACE TO BOOK! -

Rose Sent on 09/09/2026Most perfect venue!
We honestly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding day. East Mersea Hall was absolutely incredible from start to finish and gave us the most magical setting for such a special day. But what truly made East Mersea Hall stand out was the incredible team. Every single member of staff went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we had dreamed of. They were so friendly, helpful, attentive and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and we felt completely looked after throughout the whole experience.

Where to begin…
We were in awe from the moment we set foot in the grounds of East Mersea Hall and by the end of our first walk around we knew it was the only place we wanted our special day.
From the start of planning right up to the day of our wedding Anneka was there looking after us, bringing our vision to life, keeping us on track and checking in with us.
Then it was our day and here is where the magic really began. In a matter of hours our dream day came to life as the past 2 years of planning became a reality.
Anyone getting married needs an “Anneka”
From the very beginning, her attention to detail was exceptional. She looked after us every step of the way, making sure that everything was exactly as we had imagined, exactly what you’d expect from an award winning venue.
What we didn’t expect was her attention to us. Anneka instinctively knew when we needed her. She would quietly appear at just the right moment to check that we were okay, make sure we had everything we needed, and then disappear back into the background to let us enjoy our day.
The entire team at East Mersea Hall is Top Class and they deserve every accolade and we cannot recommend them enough.

Natalie Sent on 08/09/2026The Best Day at the Best Venue in the World
It’s honestly so difficult to put into words just how incredible EMH and the whole team are. Looking back, we genuinely cannot imagine having celebrated our wedding anywhere else.
From the moment we walked in and met Anneka and Dusty the cat (RIP), we had a feeling that EMH was going to be the place for us. Anneka made us feel completely at home from the very beginning, and that feeling never went away.
Holly was absolutely incredible throughout the entire journey. She seemed to know what we needed before we even knew we needed it! She spent so much time talking everything through with us, answering every question, reassuring us when we needed it and helping us plan every little detail. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Both Holly and Anneka were so warm, approachable and genuinely lovely that we always felt completely comfortable being ourselves.
They got to know us so well that, by the time our wedding day arrived, we felt like part of the EMH family. Even though they welcome so many couples, they made our wedding feel completely personal and like EMH was our own special place.
The day itself went by far too quickly, but it was absolutely perfect. Everything ran so smoothly, and we know that was largely down to the incredible team. Their attention to detail, care and genuine love for what they do really shines through. Holly and Anneka went above and beyond for us in every possible way, and we honestly don’t know how we’re supposed to say goodbye to them!
The venue itself is simply beautiful. There is something so peaceful about EMH that makes you feel instantly calm the moment you arrive. Getting married in the woods was an absolute dream of ours, and it was even more magical than we could have imagined. Holly also spent so much time helping us plan back-up options in case of rain, which calmed the nerves- although thankfully, we didn’t need them!
Then, as the sun went down and the venue lit up, it became even more magical. It was everything we had dreamed of and more.
The food was also fantastic. The portions were generous, everything was delicious, and so many of our guests commented on how lovely the food was. We also thought EMH offered incredible value for money. The package was so reasonable, and it was really easy to add extras that made the day feel even more like ours. We especially loved adding the cocktail hour — it was such a fun part of the day and something our guests enjoyed.
But ultimately, what makes EMH so special isn’t just the beautiful venue. It’s the people. It’s the way they make you feel like part of a family.
Our wedding day was, without a doubt, the best day of our lives. We were surrounded by the people we love most, in the most beautiful setting, with the most incredible team looking after us every step of the way.
We will forever be grateful to Holly, Anneka and the entire EMH team for helping create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We genuinely don’t know how to thank them enough, and saying goodbye was hard!
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding day so incredibly special. We will cherish our memories of EMH, and of everyone who made our day so perfect, forever.
We couldn’t recommend EMH highly enough. The most beautiful venue, the most wonderful people, and the best day of our lives

East Mersea Hall was the best wedding venue we could possibly have asked for! From booking with them up until our wedding day we could not have asked for anything more! They were so professional and made it so easy to make the wedding of our dreams come true. We will never forget the most amazing day we had, and to any couples considering them, they would not be disappointed! Xxx -

I honestly don’t know where to start with East Mersea Hall — there are so many reasons I could give them a 100-star review! ⭐️
From the moment we first viewed East Mersea Hall, we just knewit was where we wanted to get married. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, but there is also such a peaceful and calming feeling about the whole place.
We knew we wanted a woodland wedding and, most importantly, we wanted our dog, Riley, to be a huge part of our day. The woodland area at East Mersea Hall was exactly what we were looking for, and the fact that they were so welcoming of Riley was the icing on the cake. 🐾❤️
Originally, I had imagined us having a woodland ceremony followed by a tipi reception, which East Mersea Hall could accommodate. But then we saw the Pavilion, and we completely changed our minds! It was beautiful, with gorgeous views over the lake, and I could instantly picture our reception there.
And then there was the food… WOW! 😍
We chose the BBQ option, and we have had so many of our guests tell us how incredible the food was. Like many brides, I had absolutely no appetite on the day, but I did manage to try a little of everything — and what I tasted was AMAZING! I’m genuinely gutted I couldn’t eat more because it was so good.
If you’re considering the BBQ, you HAVE to have the pulled pork — it was honestly to die for! Our guests also couldn’t stop talking about how good the fish skewers were either!
Throughout the whole build-up to our wedding, our coordinator, Anneka, was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, and whenever we had a question, she was always there to help. Emails were answered within hours, and she somehow always seemed to know the questions we hadn’t even thought to ask yet!
Then came our wedding day, and Anneka was quite honestly incredible.
She was putting out fires I didn’t even know had happened — and there was one pretty big fire… 😂
One hour before our ceremony, a can of Coke was accidentally knocked over and sprayed all over the bridesmaid dresses. 😱 Anneka found a fix, helped the girls clean the dresses and got them dry, all without me even knowing it had happened! (I only found out three days after the wedding!) 😂
That was Anneka throughout the whole day, though. Things were happening behind the scenes, but she dealt with them before they ever became our problem, which allowed us to just enjoy our day.
There were also so many things she was doing in the background to make things extra special that we would never have thought of. She had a plate of canapés put aside for us so we wouldn’t miss out while we were having pictures taken.
She also did the same when she realised I hadn’t eaten much all day… We got back to the bridal suite at the end of the night and found that she had left us a selection of treats from our dessert table AND a pizza each. 🥹❤️
It was such a small thing, but after such a huge and emotional day, walking into our room and finding that waiting for us honestly meant so much.
And as if all that wasn’t enough, Anneka even came into work early the following morning just to say goodbye to us before we left.
I honestly don’t think we could ever properly thank her for everything she did.
Thanks to Anneka and the whole team at East Mersea Hall, we were able to relax, be present and enjoy every moment of the day.
East Mersea Hall really is a hidden gem, and we genuinely couldn’t recommend it highly enough. If you are considering getting married there, DO IT. You won’t regret it.
And Anneka — thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day so incredibly special. You were such a huge part of making it the most amazing day of our lives, and we will never forget it. ❤️ -
