What could be more relaxing than tying the knot at a spa hotel? Greenwoods Hotel & Spa is a grade II-listed manor house in the heart of Essex home to three function suites and 39 bedrooms, which allows you to have full flexibility when it comes to your big day.
The Garden Suite was completed as part of a multi-million-pound project and seamlessly blends contemporary architecture without losing the classic edge the hotel is renowned for. Sweeping white walls play host to traditional exposed brick archways and the surrounding windows flood the space with daylight for a light and airy feel. A private terrace with stunning views of the manicured grounds seals the deal for this being one of the most popular choices for couples looking for a fresh, blank canvas space with a luxurious edge.
Elsewhere, The Manor House is one for traditionalists - think painted panelled walls, a wooden fireplace and grand gold chandeliers, as well as traditional artwork and a charming library bookshelf wall. Best suited to more intimate gatherings, this room can accommodate 46 guests for a wedding breakfast, or you can host an evening reception for 100 if you prefer.
Finally, for outdoor weddings, the Gazebo in the venue’s landscaped grounds can accommodate up to 150 guests, perfect if you’re planning a large affair. The Gazebo is licenced for civil ceremonies, and you’ll benefit from beautiful views of the surrounding gardens.
Greenwoods Hotel & Spa offers a range of packages to suit every couple, from all-inclusive options to twilight weddings. And if you want to make it a weekend affair, you can do that, too!
When it comes to the food and drink, there are a wealth of catering options tailored to both formal and more relaxed occasions, including traditional three-course breakfasts, grazing tables, canapés, hot fork buffets, BBQs, and late-night snacks.
