STUNNING VENUE & EXCELLENT EVENTS TEAM
Venue Service
By Lysia & David, on 06 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 28 Oct 2018
We would like to massively THANK & RECOMMEND the events team at The Kings Oak!! We had our daughter's Bat Mitzvah in the Kings Room with the Beach Club Marquee too, for a reception & sit-down 3 course dinner & disco... and it went off perfectly ... we are still buzzing!! Paula along with Skye & all of the team, the amazing chefs, bartenders, waiters/waitresses and all the behind the scenes staff - were amazing!! So professional, helpful, friendly - they all went above & beyond. It was so slick, flowed seamlessly & smoothly run. We will not hesitate to book again for future events! What we found so great is that we, along with our kids and family, felt looked after and "special" during the whole process. The communication, attention to detail, guidance and foresight of true professionals with a wealth of experience shone through. The decor and vibe of the venue is gorgeous and can take on whatever atmosphere and style you want - customising it to suit style and budget with different options /additions/light colour etc. We were over the moon with how delicious the food was!! Great taste, presentation, quality, quantity of our reception canapes & 3 courses dinner - over 100 guests and it was all piping hot too!! I could go on and on about the beautiful venue - just don't hesitate in booking for your event! You can put your trust in Paula and her team, and all the stresses are taken away from you THANK YOU AGAIN FROM ALL OF US XX.

We held our wedding and reception at the Kings Oak and we cannot thank Paula and Skye enough for all their help. Nothing was too much trouble and they even upgraded my dance floor for free!! They kept me organised and made the day so stress free it was amazing!
Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was. The food was lovely and there was plenty. There were a few vegan meals and they were received really well too. Drinks aren't over priced and a good selection of wines. We were expecting only red and white but rose was on the table too.
All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Thank you so much and we will be back x

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the King's Oak on the 24th October 2018. The day could not have run smoother thanks to the very experienced Paula and Skye. Our guests were happy and well informed at all times whilst we were able enjoy some private moments.
Having begun the planning process in only March of this year, I could not imagine how relaxed I felt throughout the organisation of details. Communication is consistent and ensures that decisions are made on time without pushiness. We felt that we were able to create the wedding we wanted with the assistance of the King's Oak team. We hired the Beach Marquee for ceremony, King's Room the Oak Lounge for drinks reception before our sit-down meal. I recommend this way so that your guests can truly appreciate the beauty of the King's Room because that haven't spent too much time in there. Our DJ and photographer were well informed about where and how to carry our their tasks due to prior communication and made to feel incredibly welcome.
The food was amazing and received nothing but compliments from our guests. The staff were friendly and seemed happy to go the extra mile for anybody. I have received such positive feedback about our occasion and we owe everything to Paula and Skye. Thank you so much, we will be back to celebrate our anniversary at the King's Oak.

I would like to thank everyone at the Kings Oak for hosting our daughters wedding. The whole day flowed seamlessly from start to finish. A special thank you to Paula who helped plan and execute the day. She was ably assisted by Skye. Our guests were full of compliments in respect of the venue and the warmth of the helpful staff. The food was hot and tasty and we were particularly impressed with the professional service. We hired the Oak Lounge for drinks and canapés before and after the ceremony, the Beach Club Marquee for the Ceremony and the Kings Room for the Reception. All the rooms were decorated to a high standard which impressed us and all our guests. Charles and Maulline Sam
Amazing Wedding
Venue Service
By Erol & Haley, on 05 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 12 Oct 2018
Skye and the Kings Oak Team have been amazing! Anything was possible and everything was perfect!
Booking The Kings Oak Hotel/preparation: This was such a smooth process. It was almost too smooth that it concerned me that something would go wrong on the day! We had regular meetings with Skye, which put me, the very nervous/excitable bride at ease. Every meeting, Skye took us through step by step what would happen on the day. She gave us total guidance and reassurance. We had a few unusual requests that required assistance from the Kings Oak team and this was never an issue! Whether it was by the phone or email, it never took Skye or the team long to get back to us. For the food we had Warm goat’s cheese & sundried tomato tart with a balsamic glaze Or Chef’s seasonal soup with crusty bread (Tomato and basil) Breast of chicken with brandy, mushroom & cream sauce served with mash potato or Baked aubergine, tomato & mushroom with rice. The food was gorgeous and the guests loved it. Portions sizes were very decent, chicken was not dry and presentation was fantastic!
Venue: The Kings Oak hotel really does have the wow factor! All our guests absolutely loved it and were so impressed with the glitzy, glamorous fairytale venue surrounded by the beautiful Epping forest! The whole day ran so smoothly – nothing went wrong! It was complete military operation! The staff completely tended to our needs throughout the day and everyone was very looked after – glasses always being topped up with drinks etc. A number of guests commented on how great the staff were and how they looked after everyone!

my son and now daughter in law had their wedding reception here last Saturday (28.07.18) and it the service provided by the Kings Oak was extremely disappointing.
First off, there was a pool party that brought the guests in on coaches, for this reason the car park was completely closed to any other visitors or guests until 10pm. We was not notified of this prior to the day and our guests were left with nowhere to park for the duration of the reception.
My daughter in law had made favours for hours prior to the big day and these were left with the pub to bring out when dressing the hall. This was not done and favours were not received by the guests.
food ordered (45.00 a platter for 8 guests), wow, what can I say!!!! all the platters ordered did not come out to the guests!!!! food was removed and disposed of at 10.30pm leaving the guests with nothing until the reception ended at 12 midnight.
The room was not air conditioned and was extremely hot.
The in-house dj did not speak a word the entire night, when songs were requested by guests they were shunned and at 11pm the music system lost power. The dj spent 10 minutes fixing the problem, having to leave the hall twice to remedy the problem, however, he did not speak to the guests or make any apology, just cracked on with whatever he was doing in silence.
my son and daughter in law spoke to the Manager, telling her of the blunders and disappointments. they also told them of the inacurate food platters and how the platters were removed, still containing food, half way through the reception. We have yet to hear anything!!! :(

We had our ceremony and reception here in may 2018, from the beginning and all the way through we had the upmost advice and support.
We wouldnt change a thing, it was a brilliant day, the food was 5*, the staff were fabulous and made sure our day was fun filled.
Paula advised us and kept in touch through out the months to make sure we were happy, she was really a god send and we are so so thankful.

Firstly thank you so much, to all the staff at the Kings Oak Hotel for making our wedding day run smoothly.
The planning side was handled extremely professionally by the ladies in the office.
We had several meetings with Paula, she was always full of enthusiasm and nothing was every any trouble for her.
Thank you to Skye, who I’m sure must just sleep at her desk, always responding to my email queries very quickly!
Our guests commented on how impressive the food was, not only was it served hot (sometimes venues can struggle with getting everyone served a hot meal) the portions were huge and it was delicious, what else could you wish for!?
The day itself ran extremely smoothly, even though it did bucket it down and that is of course thanks to all the staff. They really are a great team. Thank you

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that helped arrange my 40th Birthday celebrations in the Kings Room this weekend.
Everything was perfect, from the moment I walked into the Kings Oak I felt that I did not need to worry about anything and that all arrangements were under control. The band and set-up were all taken care of, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and the Bar staff made sure that everyone knew myself and my husband so the evening felt very personal to me.
The room looked stunning and the Hog Roast and Halloumi baps were excellent and enjoyed by all.
We also visited on Friday for a pre-birthday Afternoon tea, which was just delicious and we had a lovely afternoon.
Thank you to Jill, Paula and the whole team for making my birthday weekend so memorable, I have had an amazing time!
