IN HISTORY Steeped Romantic and eclectic, these venues hold a thousand love stories BRAXTED PARK 01621 770 855 | https://braxtedparkweddings.co.uk At the heart of a vast walled estate, you’ll find Braxted Park’s magnificent country house and its stunning gardens. The intimate gardens that connect Braxted House to the grand Wedding Pavilion provide an idyllic setting for any wedding vision. Within the historic Walled Garden guests can enjoy a series of themed ‘rooms’ that include a romantic English Garden, a Knott Garden and an Italian Garden. The year-round interest each provides creates beautiful and varied backdrops for wedding photographs. CELEBRATE IN STYLE Combing elegance and romance throughout its interior, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to saying, ‘I do’. The Orangery exudes romance, with Roman-inspired murals and arched windows that look out over the grounds. Alternatively, during the warmer months, tie the knot outdoors at the heart of the walled garden as your guests soak up the sun. Braxted Park even has its own church, so you could have a religious ceremony just a few minutes away from the house should you wish to. Each option is capable of seating up to 170 guests. When it comes to receptions, The Pavilion is perfectly equipped for parties both large and small. This versatile space offers plenty of room for up to 350 guests and comes with neutral décor so you can truly make it your own. The in-house catering team are on hand to create some spectacular menus for your special day, while come evening, a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system and huge dancefloor ensures you can enjoy yourselves long into the night. We love... The Garden Cottage really stands out and offers couples the perfect place to retire to after a day of celebrating, while loved ones can enjoy a relaxing night’s stay just a few steps from the Pavilion, too. BRIDGE END GARDENS 01799 619 845 | www.saffronwalden.gov.uk The Walled Garden is surrounded by Victorian gardens. There’s also a hedge maze, rose garden and extensive main lawn area. The gardens are very picturesque with viewing platforms to help you get the most from your photos. There are fountains and sun dials dotted around the gardens. Exclusive hire can be arranged as the gardens can be closed to the public. CELEBRATE IN STYLE Bridge End Gardens aren’t licensed for wedding or civil ceremonies, these can take place in local venues. However, if you wanted a celebrant ceremony to take place in the tipi or marquee, this can be arranged. Ceremonies can easily commence in the local church or Town Hall with guests walking down to the nearby Bridge End Gardens after. Receptions take place in the Walled Kitchen Garden, where couples can hire either a marquee or tipi. We love... Over the summer months the smell of perfume that drifts from the rose gardens is a delight to the senses. 19 HISTORIC VENUES
