An Essex Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 105)

TALBOOTH WEDDINGS 01206 323105 | www.milsomweddings.com Set beside the natural beauty of the River Stour lies the Talbooth Restaurant, one of the finest wedding venues in Essex. Here you can enjoy your special day in stunning surroundings, whether it’s dining in the riverside restaurant or dancing in the marquee on the upper terrace. You can even take advantage of Kathleen, the venue’s electric riverboat, which is moored by the restaurant in the summer. This gives you the option of arriving at the wedding breakfast following a 10-minute ride along the river, which is a great way to surprise your guests! Weddings take place in the River Room, which has a civil ceremony licence for up to 130 people. A beautiful space overlooking the water, terrace and perfectly manicured lawns, your vows are then followed by a wedding breakfast in the marquee. Want to stay the night? No problem – accommodation options include Talbooth House & Spa, Milsom Hotel and the venue’s self-catering luxury cottage, Idle Waters. PONTLANDS PARK 01245 476444 | www.pontlandsparkhotel.co.uk An impressive Victorian House and beautifully landscaped gardens with pond make Pontlands Park the ideal setting for you to celebrate your love and commitment. Located on the outskirts of Chelmsford City Centre, a beautiful driveway gives both you and your guests a great first impression. Also, being a 35-bedroom hotel, it means your guests won’t have far to go to rest after your wedding day! All rates are inclusive of breakfast, meaning you can celebrate the morning after as a group. Say your vows in the new garden gazebo, seating up to 100 guests overlooking the Essex countryside. You can also choose the intimate Lilli Suite by the gardens and pond area, which is ideal for up to 60 guests seated for your civil ceremony. Then there’s the light and fully airconditioned Conservatory Suite to consider, allowing you to be married with seating up to 100 guests. Receptions can then take place in both the Conservatory (90 guests), which is fully air-conditioned, or the beautiful Marquee (180 guests), which boasts a silk-lined ceiling and chandeliers for the perfect backdrop. 26
