With sweeping staircases, elegant rooms and surrounded by beautiful Essex parkland, our venue is nothing far from spectacular.
Licensed for civil ceremonies, we also have an outdoor Gazebo, overlooking our breathtaking grounds, so you can wed surrounded by nature and tranquility.
Here at Wivenhoe we have put a twist on tradition and fused the main house with a Garden Wing, which sits alongside the meticulously renovated historic house and offers a more modern experience.
Our team of dedicated wedding coordinators and aspiring managers, will go above and beyond, and will take care of every detail to ensure you have the most perfect day. We also believe that your special day should not be shared, so we hold one wedding per day, promising you the undivided attention of our professional wedding team.

Our pricing varies depending on your package and date.
We are always happy to discuss your ideas and visions with you, and will always come up with a bespoke package to suit your requirements.
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for everything! You have been so helpful and the day couldn't have gone any better!
It meant a lot to both Tom and I and please pass on our thanks to everyone at Wivenhoe who was involved in making the day so great!
