Can we do it again?
The way you run events is nothing short of extraordinary. Everyone was so helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble! We were absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out, it looked absolutely beautiful and I know that you must have spent a considerable amount of time setting all of our bits and pieces up, so I wanted to let you know how appreciated it was!
The whole wedding completely exceeded our expectations, we spent so much time planning and putting effort into the details and to see it be brought to life by the St Osyth Priory team just blew us away. I'm only disappointed that we don't get to do it all over again!
Once again, a huge thank you from us! Words really cannot express how grateful we are! We will remember our day for the rest of our lives and can't wait to return for an anniversary!The way you run events is nothing short of extraordinary.

The dream wedding venue!
When we first found St Osyth’s Priory, we fell in love with the breathtaking beauty of the venue. Everything seemed to be perfect, the little chapel, the wonderful grounds, the beautiful gardens, the magnificent wedding breakfast room; absolutely everything. We were sold not just by the grandeur, but by the amazing professionalism of Livi. She was fantastic, communicating with us throughout the whole process, answering every email and every question, ensuring we had enough meetings to know what exactly was happening on the day, being on site with Mel and ensuring everything was going well. They made our wedding planning and the day itself so stress free, it was fantastic. The food was delicious, and every guest enjoyed it. We asked for a few extras, such as bowls with berries and cream for the drinks reception, which the venue very kindly offered to create for us, as well as creating a bespoke children’s menu (curtesy of my very picky younger sister!). Our wedding was non alcoholic for religious reasons, and the venue did everything to ensure that was being adhered to on the day and were incredibly welcoming even with this different type of wedding. In short, we absolutely adored it and the coordinators made everything incredibly stress free and easy, we had an amazing time and are so happy we got to celebrate our special day here!When we first found St Osyth’s Priory, we fell in love with the breathtaking beauty of the venue.

A dream wedding venue
St Osyth gave us our dream wedding day - we are indebted to Livi, Mel and the team there. They were charming, accommodating, professional and efficient from the moment we first viewed the venue. The settings are STUNNING - all our guests said it was one of - if not THE - best venue they'd been to. We fell in love with the priory's ancient history, coupled with its tasteful, contemporary refurbishment (whilst still respecting all the original features). The food & drinks were excellent, Livi catered to our every need, and the staff were so helpful with ever-changing plans, helping us set up and clear away. They made it so easy and such a joy at every stage. The venue's spacious and varied accommodation was also a huge draw for many friends / relatives travelling from afar, the rooms, cottages and villas are all super roomy, spotless and cosy. Could not recommend this more, we would so love to do it all again!St Osyth gave us our dream wedding day - we are indebted to Livi, Mel and the team there.

A dream come true
We recently had our wedding at St Osyth Priory in Essex, and it truly was the only venue in the entire area that ticked every single one of our boxes.
From start to finish, our experience was absolutely flawless, and we couldn't recommend it highly enough.
One of the standout features was the stunning accommodation available for all our guests. It was such a relief to know everyone was comfortable and beautifully housed on-site.
The team at St Osyth Priory also made it incredibly easy to tailor everything. No request was too big or too small, and communication with the team was consistently easy, prompt, and reassuring - Livi answered 1000s of questions for us!
As dog owners, finding a dog-friendly venue was important for us, and St Osyth Priory offered this. Being able to have our pup join us for photos was incredibly special and truly made our day complete.
The food was INCREDIBLE. It was absolutely amazing, and we loved that we could truly make it our own. We opted for the BBQ option, and it was a massive hit with everyone. We are still getting comments from our guests about the delicious mac and cheese – it was a real highlight!
Ultimately, everything was seamless. The team at St Osyth Priory handled every last detail with professionalism and warmth, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our special day.

The best day ever!
We booked our wedding at this venue in 2023, and from start to finish, the entire experience has been nothing short of amazing. The team were so accommodating and helpful with every request and question we had along the way - nothing was ever too much trouble.
Everytime there was a development on the estate, we were always welcomed so warmly and invited in to see how things were progressing. Each time we visited, the venue somehow looked even more impressive than before. It truly is an incredible place, and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was – a real hidden gem in Essex. People couldn’t believe a venue like this was just around the corner.
In the lead-up to the big day, Livi and Mel were fantastic – so supportive with the setup and full of brilliant suggestions. They went above and beyond anything we expected to make sure everything was ready and just how we wanted it. On the day itself, they were an absolute dream. From the morning prep right through to the evening, they were on hand, working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly.
The bar staff were so friendly and accommodating, and the whole team who helped with the reception and dinner service were just amazing. Every single person involved made the day feel extra special.
It was honestly the perfect day – we couldn’t have asked for anything more. If you’re considering this venue, we’d really encourage you to go and see it in person – as stunning as the pictures are, they just don’t do it justice. It’s such a beautiful venue with so many different options for how your day can look.
We also hired out several of the retreats over the wedding weekend for our bridal party and family, which was such a lovely touch. It meant we could all stay together, enjoy breakfast the next morning, and reminisce about the incredible day we’d just had.

Amazing venue
We had the most incredible experience holding our wedding at St Osyth Priory — it exceeded our expectations. The venue is absolutely breathtaking, with its rich history, stunning architecture, and beautifully kept grounds that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day.
The team at St Osyth made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. A special thank you to Livi, our wedding coordinator, who was an absolute star. She was calm, organised, and incredibly supportive throughout — nothing was too much trouble, and she genuinely went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly as it could.
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the venue and the atmosphere — it was elegant, warm, and intimate all at once. We’re so grateful to have celebrated such a meaningful moment at a place as beautiful as St Osyth Priory. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.We had the most incredible experience holding our wedding at St Osyth Priory — it exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful venue and fantastic service
We were extremely pleased with our decision to hold our wedding at St Osyth Priory. The venue is beautiful and received lots of praise from our guests. We were able to accommodate the majority of the guests at the venue itself, and all of the rooms were lovely and reasonably priced.
During the planning process, Livi and her team were in regular contact with us and our suppliers to make sure everything went exactly to plan. We found them easy to work with and never faced any difficulties or obstacles. On the day the team were switched on and took a lot of stress away from us by ensuring the day went smoothly.
We would thoroughly recommend St Osyth Priory as a venue for a wedding or alternative event.We were extremely pleased with our decision to hold our wedding at St Osyth Priory.

The most perfect wedding day
We recently got married at St Osyth Priory and we had the most magical day in the most incredible of settings. From the moment we first stepped foot on the grounds were just fell in love with everything about the venue. Livi & Lizzie were fantastic in understanding our vision and super responsive to all our questions throughout. Our minds were put at ease at every opportunity by the flexibility showed by the team who were really accommodating to our requests!
During the set up and all the way through our day Livi, Mel and the team were really hands on and couldn't do enough for us and our guests who were taken aback by the stunning venue, beautiful food and fantastic service.
The fact we were able to have our dog along to our perfect day was the cherry on top and such a priceless memory. We couldn't recommend St Osyth Priory enough to other couples, we look forward to returning for many anniversaries to come!We recently got married at St Osyth Priory and we had the most magical day in the most incredible of settings.

Perfect day, Perfect venue.
St osyth priory is beyond belief. The venue, grounds and building are stunning. All the guests commented on how beautiful it was. Livi, Mel and the staff went over and above. All day we were looked after and they paid particular attention to my disabled parents, which made life so much easier for me. From booking the venue to the actual day, Livi communicated with me, nothing was too much. Our day went without any hitches and we owe this to the staff, Mel and Livi. Thank you for making our special day perfect.St osyth priory is beyond belief. The venue, grounds and building are stunning. All the guests commented on how beautiful it was.
