Located in the quaint town of Bocking, just a 30 minute drive from Chelmsford, Fennes is a beautiful Georgian manor house-turned wedding venue. Set in 100 acres of rural North Essex countryside, it’s an ideal setting for weddings, receptions and civil ceremonies.
This striking venue boasts a range of traditional, richly-styled reception rooms of all shapes and sizes as well as idyllic outdoor spaces overlooking the picturesque English country gardens. Host your ceremony on the sprawling lawns, or in the magical woodland, before heading out to the patio for a wedding breakfast under the stars. Whether you’re planning a large wedding or something more intimate, you can be sure of a stunning backdrop for your big day here.
When it comes to exclusive use weddings, you’ll find a range of reception rooms where you can tie the knot, ranging from 35 to 350 guests. Alternatively, the Banqueting Hall can cater to civil ceremonies for up to 700 guests, so there’s no need to keep the guest list short. Each couple will have a dedicated team to ensure the day not only goes without a hitch, but exceeds your expectations.
The kitchen at Fennes is experienced at providing all manner of wedding food, from traditional three-course wedding breakfasts to globally-inspired buffets, hog roasts and barbecues. Work alongside the team to bring your vision to life, with bespoke menus and countless food and drinks packages.
There are also 13 guest rooms on site, as well as a Honeymoon Cottage complete with a four-poster bed and a copper bath for that extra special first night as a married couple. Fennes has been hosting weddings for over 30 years, so if you have any questions, just ask one of the experienced staff members who will be happy to assist.
