The Essex Barn at the White Hart Reviews (16) Write a review Beautiful venue Venue Service By Elise Hughes, on 14 Apr 2015I could not recommend the White Hart more as a venue. Laura and her team were professional and attentive throughout the entire wedding planning process, and will be as involved as you want or need them to be. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The venue itself is beautiful, in a peaceful country setting, we loved it from our first visit. The mezzanine floor was something I'd never seen before at a venue, and I really felt it added something different and alternative to the venue, plus meant that if the weather took a turn for the worse, (which we were lucky to avoid on our day!) you or your guests won't get wet moving from ceremony to reception! The bridal preparation suite is also beautiful and spacious enough for all you need in the morning, plus a view out over the front of the Inn where you can see your guests arriving! Our guests have all commented on how lovely the venue is, as well as the gorgeous accommodation and amazing food. We are looking forward to returning for dinner or even to stay in one of the beautiful rooms. We highly recommend the White Hart, the service is second to none, and the Wedding package prices are really competitive, we didn't have a huge budget but still managed to afford all we needed and wanted.Thank you Venue Service By Tara and Matthew, on 09 May 2012I know this may be very much after the event but I don't think I ever really thanked you for making our wedding day so special! Although it was absolutley freezing, we had a fantastic day! All of the staff on the day were brilliant and it all went so perfectly I'd do it all again tomorrow if we could! Everyone that came loved the venue and seemed to have as good a day as we did..... I can't recommend you highly enough.
