An Essex Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 112)

THE NIGHT BEFORE New for 2023, you’re now able to book The Wedding Lodge for the night before your wedding. Arrive and relax with a meal (perhaps a takeaway, or something prepared for you by one of the venue’s caterers) and maybe a bottle or two of prosecco! You can then get ready in the house the following morning, with hair and make-up being able to arrive early to ensure enough time to get ready, before moving over to the wedding cottage in the main venue prior to the ceremony. As well as four double bedrooms (sleeping up to eight guests) and two bathrooms, there’s a large kitchen/dining room, a lounge, a make-up room with Hollywood mirrors, a bridal preparation room and a lovely big garden, perfect for relaxing drinks the night before the wedding and beautiful photos the following morning.
