ORSETT HALL HOTEL, RESTAURANT & SPA 01375 891 402 | www.orsetthall.co.uk What to Expect Orsett Hall’s Main Building is a beautifully designed structure, meticulously rebuilt to replicate the original that was first constructed around 1750. The building was reconstructed in the early 20th century after its initial demise, but sadly, it was destroyed by a fire in 2007. Today, the hotel showcases individually designed, stylishly decorated guest rooms, superb dining at the Garden Brasserie, elegant function rooms, a charming chapel, and a boutique spa. Time to celebrate Orsett Hall features an on-site chapel, licensed for religious and non-religious wedding ceremonies, as well as civil partnerships. The chapel’s stunning interior evokes a fairytale setting, and its beauty is best experienced in person. With soothing pastel tones, white beams draped in flowers, traditional seating, and a spacious balcony for additional guests or live music, the Chapel offers a magical setting for your ceremony.
