Blake Hall Weddings

Across the lawn from the Essex Barn, the Hay Barn is a beautiful place to say your vows. Licensed for civil ceremonies for up to 150 guests, its beam-lined aisle and magnificent picture window make for a stunning indoor setting whatever the weather. If you prefer to keep drinks outside on the terrace, the Hay Barn steps back gracefully. Or it can do double duty as your welcome drinks space before dinner in the Essex Barn. It can accommodate up to 150 seated guests for ceremonies.

Between the Essex and Hay Barns stands the Saddlery, a licensed outdoor ceremony space with cedar benches, a limestone aisle path and a rustic canopy as your backdrop. It is an idyllic spot to exchange vows under the sky, with your guests gathered around you on the lawn. You get to use your imagination for this truly adaptable space as it works beautifully as a drinks station, a stage for live music during the reception, or a space for a children’s entertainer if little ones are on the guest list.

The Essex Barn is the grand centrepiece of your wedding day. This magnificent 17th-century barn has been sympathetically restored to give you all the warmth and character of a historic space, with every modern comfort you could want. With a licensed bar, dance floor and banqueting area all under one roof, everything stays together from the first course to the last dance. It can accommodate up to 200 evening guests.
