The family-run blank-canvas venue is situated within ten acres of privately owned Garons Park Trust land in the heart of Southend-on-Sea. As well as the luxurious marquee, couples can host celebrations within the quirky Scoreboard Barn for a rustic feel. Food is at the forefront of the experience here, with the venue’s talented in-house catering team creating everything from fine-dining menus to more casual, laid-back options to suit every couple. LET’S CELEBRATE! The venue is currently awaiting its ceremony license for the Scoreboard Barn (120 guests) and Outdoor Pavilion area ready for 2021/22. However, both these spaces are currently available for blessings and celebrant-led ceremonies. Receptions are held in the fully-lined Marquee (250 seated guests and 400 evening guests), which comes furnished with vintage lounge furniture, a beautiful bar and a parquet dancefloor complete with twinkling fairy-lit ceiling. Parties can spill outside on to the private patio overlooking the cricket pitch to enjoy drinks long into the evening under the warm glow of festoon lighting. WE LOVE… All couples receive a gift upon booking and will be treated to a free menu tasting. WIVENHOE HOUSE HOTEL 01206 863 666 | www.wivenhoehouse.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
