We had our day recently and it was perfect in every single way. From attending open evenings, to booking, throughout the planning stages and the day itself. East Mersea Hall and all the staff there were everything and more that we could ask for, Anneka especially.

Nothing was too much, our ideas were embraced with such enthusiasm and our dream came to life. On the day Anneka was there from start to end, enduring the day was as stress free for us as possible and she truly nailed it. She is an asset to the venue.

The venue itself has everything we could have asked for, a woodland, pavilion, beautiful outside area and lake - the perfect setting to our Autumnal wedding.

Our over night stay in the Bridal Suite was comfortable and provided the much needed rest and relaxation. We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough, it is perfection in every aspect.

From the moment we went to our first viewing, we knew that East Mersea Hall was the right venue for us. Anneka Hill gave us a tour, and she was immediately warm, knowledgeable, and put us at ease throughout the entire process – right down to knowing which trees would have autumnal colours by the time our October wedding came around.

No question or query from us was ever too much for Anneka and the team, and they had prompt, helpful responses to anything we threw their way. This, coupled with the intimate pre-wedding meetings and tastings, gave us so much confidence that we’d chosen the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. They made us feel like our wedding was the only one happening that year, and showed genuine interest and passion in every decision we made.

On the big day itself, Anneka and her team were incredible from the start. All of our decorations were presented exactly as intended, and the entire morning ran smoothly thanks to their professionalism and friendliness. Many of the guests even commented on how excellent the staff all were, and no request was too much for them to fulfil.

The reception drinks, canapes, and wedding breakfast were all handled with maximum care, too. Guests were well fed throughout the entire day, and so many guests have let us know that their meal at East Mersea Hall was amongst some of the best food they’ve ever had. The evening hog roast also went down a treat, and I’ll be thinking about that crackling for a long time to come.

Once all was said and done, I was a little sad we wouldn’t get to work with Anneka and her team again. Their consideration made our wedding day perfect, and I would recommend East Mersea Hall to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding venue.

We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect wedding experience! From the first visit to the big day, Anneka and the team were absolutely incredible. Anneka helped guided us through every step and made us feel so relaxed and at ease. The professionalism and genuine care was amazing and made the lead-up to the day so smooth and enjoyable. The smaller details in the lead up like the menu tasting, made the experience even more magical.

On the wedding day, everything was in such reliable hands; the coordination was seamless and the team made sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Being dairy intolerant, I felt completely comfortable and relaxed knowing everything was catered for and no trouble at all, I trusted them!

Our guests were blown away by the stunning venue, the delicious food, and the outstanding service. The staff had such positive energy, which made them feel like additional guests and truly part of the celebration rather than external staff (while still being so professional).

From the moment we booked, they made us feel like our day truly mattered and not just another wedding. We felt like the most important celebration which meant the world to us.

We can’t thank Anneka (our wedding mum) and the whole team enough for making our day so special.

Amazing day! Staff are fantastic specifically Anneka she’s been a star from start to finish! The food was amazing and the venue is absolutely stunning! Honestly would 100% recommend this venue absolutely loved it! Thank you for making our wedding day so special!

We were married at East Mersea Hall on the 16th of August 2025, and from the very first visit we knew it was the right choice for us. What stood out most throughout our entire journey was the team’s professionalism, organisation, and genuine care. They didn’t just provide a venue — they delivered an experience that made planning enjoyable and our wedding day truly unforgettable.

The build-up to the wedding was smooth and reassuring. Communication was always clear, consistent, and proactive, with regular touch points to check in on progress and answer our questions. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. A particular highlight was the large tasting session. It wasn’t just about confirming food choices — it was a thoughtful and personal experience that gave us complete confidence that the catering would be outstanding. It set the tone for everything else: high-quality, well-organised, and tailored to us as a couple.

On the wedding day itself, Anneka and the team were exceptional. Everything ran seamlessly, yet their presence was never intrusive. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes, managing every detail with calm professionalism, while giving us the space to simply relax and enjoy each moment. Their ability to balance perfect organisation with complete discretion was remarkable and allowed us to feel like guests at our own wedding — a rare and precious thing.

Our guests continue to talk about our day with so many compliments directed at East Mersea Hall. The venue itself was breathtaking, and we lost count of the number of times friends and family commented on how beautiful the setting was. The food, in particular, was a standout. Guests raved about the quality, taste, and presentation, and many described it as some of the best wedding catering they had ever experienced. It was clear to us, and to everyone who joined us, that East Mersea Hall hold themselves to the highest standards.

What impressed us most was the combination of personal warmth with absolute professionalism. We never once felt like “just another couple” — every interaction showed how much the team cared about our wedding being unique and special to us.

Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more, and we truly believe that was down to East Mersea Hall and their incredible team. They exceeded every expectation, not only meeting the practical needs of the day but also creating an atmosphere of ease, joy, and celebration. We will always be grateful to them for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

East Mersea Hall is not simply a venue — it is a place where dreams are brought to life by people who genuinely care. For their flawless organisation, exceptional food, beautiful setting, and above all their dedication to creating unforgettable experiences.

Where to begin…

We were in awe from the moment we set foot in the grounds of East Mersea Hall and by the end of our first walk around we knew it was the only place we wanted our special day.

From the start of planning right up to the day of our wedding Anneka was there looking after us, bringing our vision to life, keeping us on track and checking in with us.

Then it was our day and here is where the magic really began. In a matter of hours our dream day came to life as the past 2 years of planning became a reality.

Anyone getting married needs an “Anneka” From the very beginning, her attention to detail was exceptional. She looked after us every step of the way, making sure that everything was exactly as we had imagined, exactly what you’d expect from an award winning venue. What we didn’t expect was her attention to us. Anneka instinctively knew when we needed her. She would quietly appear at just the right moment to check that we were okay, make sure we had everything we needed, and then disappear back into the background to let us enjoy our day.

The entire team at East Mersea Hall is Top Class and they deserve every accolade and we cannot recommend them enough.

It’s honestly so difficult to put into words just how incredible EMH and the whole team are. Looking back, we genuinely cannot imagine having celebrated our wedding anywhere else.

From the moment we walked in and met Anneka and Dusty the cat (RIP), we had a feeling that EMH was going to be the place for us. Anneka made us feel completely at home from the very beginning, and that feeling never went away.

Holly was absolutely incredible throughout the entire journey. She seemed to know what we needed before we even knew we needed it! She spent so much time talking everything through with us, answering every question, reassuring us when we needed it and helping us plan every little detail. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Both Holly and Anneka were so warm, approachable and genuinely lovely that we always felt completely comfortable being ourselves.

They got to know us so well that, by the time our wedding day arrived, we felt like part of the EMH family. Even though they welcome so many couples, they made our wedding feel completely personal and like EMH was our own special place.

The day itself went by far too quickly, but it was absolutely perfect. Everything ran so smoothly, and we know that was largely down to the incredible team. Their attention to detail, care and genuine love for what they do really shines through. Holly and Anneka went above and beyond for us in every possible way, and we honestly don’t know how we’re supposed to say goodbye to them!

The venue itself is simply beautiful. There is something so peaceful about EMH that makes you feel instantly calm the moment you arrive. Getting married in the woods was an absolute dream of ours, and it was even more magical than we could have imagined. Holly also spent so much time helping us plan back-up options in case of rain, which calmed the nerves- although thankfully, we didn’t need them!

Then, as the sun went down and the venue lit up, it became even more magical. It was everything we had dreamed of and more.

The food was also fantastic. The portions were generous, everything was delicious, and so many of our guests commented on how lovely the food was. We also thought EMH offered incredible value for money. The package was so reasonable, and it was really easy to add extras that made the day feel even more like ours. We especially loved adding the cocktail hour — it was such a fun part of the day and something our guests enjoyed.

But ultimately, what makes EMH so special isn’t just the beautiful venue. It’s the people. It’s the way they make you feel like part of a family.

Our wedding day was, without a doubt, the best day of our lives. We were surrounded by the people we love most, in the most beautiful setting, with the most incredible team looking after us every step of the way.

We will forever be grateful to Holly, Anneka and the entire EMH team for helping create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We genuinely don’t know how to thank them enough, and saying goodbye was hard!

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding day so incredibly special. We will cherish our memories of EMH, and of everyone who made our day so perfect, forever. We couldn’t recommend EMH highly enough. The most beautiful venue, the most wonderful people, and the best day of our lives

I honestly don’t know where to start with East Mersea Hall — there are so many reasons I could give them a 100-star review! ⭐️

From the moment we first viewed East Mersea Hall, we just knewit was where we wanted to get married. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, but there is also such a peaceful and calming feeling about the whole place.

We knew we wanted a woodland wedding and, most importantly, we wanted our dog, Riley, to be a huge part of our day. The woodland area at East Mersea Hall was exactly what we were looking for, and the fact that they were so welcoming of Riley was the icing on the cake. 🐾❤️

Originally, I had imagined us having a woodland ceremony followed by a tipi reception, which East Mersea Hall could accommodate. But then we saw the Pavilion, and we completely changed our minds! It was beautiful, with gorgeous views over the lake, and I could instantly picture our reception there.

And then there was the food… WOW! 😍

We chose the BBQ option, and we have had so many of our guests tell us how incredible the food was. Like many brides, I had absolutely no appetite on the day, but I did manage to try a little of everything — and what I tasted was AMAZING! I’m genuinely gutted I couldn’t eat more because it was so good.

If you’re considering the BBQ, you HAVE to have the pulled pork — it was honestly to die for! Our guests also couldn’t stop talking about how good the fish skewers were either!

Throughout the whole build-up to our wedding, our coordinator, Anneka, was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, and whenever we had a question, she was always there to help. Emails were answered within hours, and she somehow always seemed to know the questions we hadn’t even thought to ask yet!

Then came our wedding day, and Anneka was quite honestly incredible.

She was putting out fires I didn’t even know had happened — and there was one pretty big fire… 😂

One hour before our ceremony, a can of Coke was accidentally knocked over and sprayed all over the bridesmaid dresses. 😱 Anneka found a fix, helped the girls clean the dresses and got them dry, all without me even knowing it had happened! (I only found out three days after the wedding!) 😂

That was Anneka throughout the whole day, though. Things were happening behind the scenes, but she dealt with them before they ever became our problem, which allowed us to just enjoy our day.

There were also so many things she was doing in the background to make things extra special that we would never have thought of. She had a plate of canapés put aside for us so we wouldn’t miss out while we were having pictures taken.

She also did the same when she realised I hadn’t eaten much all day… We got back to the bridal suite at the end of the night and found that she had left us a selection of treats from our dessert table AND a pizza each. 🥹❤️

It was such a small thing, but after such a huge and emotional day, walking into our room and finding that waiting for us honestly meant so much.

And as if all that wasn’t enough, Anneka even came into work early the following morning just to say goodbye to us before we left.

I honestly don’t think we could ever properly thank her for everything she did.

Thanks to Anneka and the whole team at East Mersea Hall, we were able to relax, be present and enjoy every moment of the day.

East Mersea Hall really is a hidden gem, and we genuinely couldn’t recommend it highly enough. If you are considering getting married there, DO IT. You won’t regret it.

And Anneka — thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day so incredibly special. You were such a huge part of making it the most amazing day of our lives, and we will never forget it. ❤️

Just a few words to describe the experience we had for my daughter and Son in Law wedding that has just taken place at East Mersea Hall.Amazing,Fabulous,Outstanding, Wonderful .The list could go on and on. The Team led by Holly was something to behold.From the moment my daughter and Son in Law booked this venue they have had the most amazing support from the East Mersea Team .The Grounds are beautiful.My daughter had the woodland wedding it was wonderful. Everything she dreamed of. The food was exceptional and portions were exceptional .I could go on and on . If your looking for a wedding venue in Essex then look no further than East Mersea Hall .Go check it out you wont be dissapointed.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding experience at East Mersea Hall. From the build-up to the wedding day itself, everything was seamless, and the whole team made us feel so well looked after.

A special mention absolutely has to go to our wedding planner, Anneka, who was genuinely a lifesaver throughout the entire experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, reassuring and supportive, always making sure we had everything we needed and putting our minds at ease. On the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond — keeping me watered, checking in on me, making sure everything was running smoothly and reassuring me whenever I needed it. Having someone so calm, attentive and genuinely caring made such a huge difference and allowed me to relax and enjoy every moment of our day.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with so many beautiful spaces that make it such a special setting for a wedding. Every part of the day felt magical, and we couldn’t recommend East Mersea Hall highly enough.

If you’re looking for the perfect wedding venue, we would wholeheartedly recommend East Mersea Hall. And if you’re lucky enough to have Anneka as your wedding planner, you’re in the best possible hands! 🤍

East Mersea Hall, you have our hearts!! 🤍

From the very first day we went to see this beautiful paradise, you had our hearts. WHAT. A. PLACE! 😍

We had our perfect wedding day on 27th June 2026, and we honestly couldn’t have chosen a more magical venue.

Holly, Anneka and the whole team have been so much more than our wedding planners. The balance between professional and friend is absolutely spot on. You are always so warm, welcoming and helpful, and the love you showed our little boy Jaxon on every visit was just so sweet. 🥹❤️

Nothing was ever too much. Everything we asked for, you either made happen or came up with something even better. Being reminded throughout the whole process that it was OUR day was so lovely and made us feel completely at ease.

And the food… WOW! 🤤

We chose the BBQ for a relaxed, chilled vibe and it absolutely did not disappoint. The pizza in the evening was the perfect choice and was delicious! 😋 And of course, the cheeky pizzas left in our room for a midnight snack… thank you Holly! 😂🍕

The attention to allergies was also 10/10. We had several guests who are gluten free, but it was never a problem. The meat marinades were already gluten free, and gluten-free pizza and canapés were also provided. It was all so thoughtfully done.

We chose to have our outdoor ceremony in the Walled Garden, and WOW… it was stunning! 🌿🤍 There are so many beautiful options at East Mersea Hall, and every part of the venue is just breathtaking.

The attention to detail is second to none. Every time I see the venue, it gives me goosebumps. From the lake, the boat and the swing, to the beautiful grounds and, of course, the Drunken Duck… it is all just so unbelievably beautiful. 🦆✨

And the location is another reason we loved it so much. We had the most amazing whole weekend with our friends and family staying next door at Coopers Beach. Being so close to our wedding venue before and after the big day made the whole experience even more special.

Honestly, the whole weekend was the best weekend of our lives. ❤️

East Mersea Hall, thank you for giving us memories that we will treasure forever. You will always hold such a special place in our hearts. 🤍

27.06.2026 — our perfect day, in the most perfect place. ✨🥂

Can’t recommend East Mersey Hall (EMH) enough. My son and now daughter in law organized and booked their wedding and we didn’t know what to expect and had never visited before so although we knew what was happening the venue was a complete surprise. It is a beautiful place to get married in. Annika from EMH was the first person we met when dropping off the various wedding bits at 9:30am and the last person I saw as we left at 12:30am, a complete powerhouse of a woman that had everything under control and timed to perfection. We can’t thank her and her team enough as we wanted for nothing, to the point they knew what you wanted and when to bring it before you knew yourself. We are a week on now and still talking about it enthusiastically. The only downside was it was over too quick, looking back it was a day you would want to last forever.

EMH has so many different areas that all complement each other and offer a variety of photo opportunities. The food was next level and the selection of drinks on offer plentiful. If you’re considering EMH as your wedding venue then just book it you won’t regret anything.

Thank you Anika and your team once again you helped make a day to remember for a lifetime ❤️

I can’t speak highly enough as to how wonderful East Mersea Hall was for our daughters wedding. Anneka and her team were just incredible. Professional, efficient and caring at all times. The detail they carried out was incredible not to mention carrying out our daughter’s detailed instructions to the letter.

Thank you East Mersea Hall, Anneka and her whole team. You made this day one of the best of our lives❤️

WOW, Just Wow!!! If you’re thinking of booking this venue, then do it!! It’ll be the best decision you have ever made!! 2 weeks ago today, me and my husband Charlie, had the most magical wedding day that we could have ever dreamed of 🥹 and it was all thanks to East Mersea Hall & The Staff!! Anneka our wedding planner, is absolutely amazing!! So professional, organised and with you every step of the way! Nothing is too much for her and she helped me pull of so many surprises (a surprise birthday cake, surprise groom, fireworks etc) I could not recommend her enough!! From start to finish, we just had the perfect day, all the little touches, the outside ceremony was stunning, the lake and boat ride is beautiful, the reception and food was amazing and the party and dance floor in the evening was such good vibes!! All of our guests could not believe how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food and entertainment also were! Everyone has still been talking about it weeks later!! I wish we could relive the day again and again!! But I am so glad we chose EMH as we 100% made the right choice and I’d choose them over and over!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Love Charlie & Chloe ❤️xx

East Mersea Hall was the perfect venue for our wedding, we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate. The setting is absolutely beautiful, and everything on the day felt so well thought through and seamless.

A huge shoutout to Holly, our wedding coordinator, who was simply amazing! We had some less-than-ideal weather to contend with, but Holly handled everything so calmly and professionally that it never felt like an issue. She made the whole day run effortlessly and completely stress-free for us

They were also incredibly flexible with the extra décor touches I wanted to include — nothing was too much trouble, and the attention to detail was fantastic.

We felt so well looked after from start to finish. East Mersea Hall and Holly made our day truly special- thank you so much!

EMH were incredible! The venue alone is stunning and such a hidden treasure in Mersea, so many people were asking how we found it! We got married outside which was perfect but EMH had a plan for everything. Anneka was particularly amazing and we are so grateful for her support. Compared to other venues in the area, was a lot cheaper and so much was included in the whole price which we were able to pay monthly to spread it out and personally so much more gorgeous than any other venue nearby. The food was beautiful and everything we had wished for. We had the best day ever and cannot thank everyone at EMH enough.

We honestly couldn’t recommend East Mersea enough, the team are the most amazing people, so thoughtful and helpful, delicious food and a beautiful venue! We had the most perfect day❤️

Our wedding venue was absolutely stunning. Every single guest commented on how beautiful it was. It provided the most perfect setting for our day and completely exceeded our expectations. Anneka was incredible throughout the entire process and made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible from start to finish. Her professionalism, kindness and attention to detail made such a difference, her communication was amazing, she always replied promptly, answered every question without fail and made us feel supported every step of the way. Anneka is a real credit to East Mersea Hall and we absolutely loved working with her. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything came together perfectly.

Thank you for helping create the most wonderful day for us, we couldn’t have asked for more.

People talk about the feeling when you find ‘the’ wedding dress - that’s how we felt when we found THE venue. This venue.

The energy and attitude of the staff was unlike anywhere else we visited. They just felt so real. They were so excited for us at every step of the way, but always managed to stay calm and keep me calm because they’ve done this so many times!

Initially, we spoke to Anneka a lot and then Holly joined the team and became our point of contact. They are both amazing women, and Holly was an absolute godsend on the day. Nothing was too big or too small for Holly, and she made me feel calm and relaxed all day long. She made sure me and my husband were looked after at every step, that we remembered to take a breath, take a bite, have a sip! I feel like she would have tried to find the gold at the end of the rainbow if I had needed it on the day, because she was willing to go above and beyond.

The venue itself doesn’t need any dressing up, because it is so so gorgeous all on its own. The house, the lake, the pavilion all speak for themselves. It really feels magical just to be there. All the arches around the place feel like hidden treasure photo spots, and Anneka and Holly even managed to get me on the boat!!! The food was incredible, a DJ was included, we had all the guests we wanted, and it all came in at well under our budget.

You truly could not find a better venue, a better team, for a better price.

I am so sad the wedding is over, because we loved doing this here. If you choose this venue, you will too!

We honestly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue than East Mersea Hall for our wedding day. The setting is absolutely stunning, with beautiful grounds that created the most incredible backdrop for our celebration.

From start to finish, the staff were truly outstanding and went above and beyond in every possible way. They made sure we had everything we needed at all times, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy the day without a single worry. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their attention to detail was just exceptional.

A very special mention has to go to Holly and Anneka — we genuinely don’t even have enough words to describe how amazing they are, both as people and as event managers. Their support, organisation, and kindness throughout the whole process meant the world to us, and they played such a huge part in making our day so perfect.

We cannot fault anything about East Mersea Hall. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we are so grateful to the entire team for making our wedding day so unforgettable.

What can I say! The most perfect venue! Anneka and her team are the absolute best!

As a same sex marriage we had no idea what to do when we viewed the venue, Anneka put us both at ease immediately and said do whatever you want, we can accomodate it, and they certainlty did. Professional but also with humour, they created our dream wedding! It was like planning a wedding with your best friend! The day ran pefeclty smooth right to the very end, nothing was too much trouble! We had the twilight BBQ, the food is amazing and so much of it. We thoroughly recommend East Mersea Hall! Thank you Anneka!

The most amazing venue, put us at such ease from the very beginning and made our whole journey from booking to getting married such an incredible experience. The grounds are simply stunning and both the pavilion and ceremony room are gorgeous. Every single member of staff are a credit to the venue, all incredibly helpful who go above and beyond. The food, nothing short of amazing with plenty of options to choose from to cater to everyone’s needs. And no better way to cap off an amazing day than to have a boat photo on the venues amazing lake. A must-choose wedding venue, simply beautiful!

I can’t even put into words how incredible our wedding day at East Mersea Hall was. The venue itself is picturesque and maintained to perfection with some beautiful hidden gems for the best pictures. The team - unmatched! The level of support we received from the moment we stepped foot into the venue for our first viewing was absolutely impeccable. The friendly faces, the hype team that they are, the service, organisation and the insanely delicious food is like no other. I honestly can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for making our day so special.

If we could get married every week at East Mersea Hall, we'd happily keep doing it until time stops! Anneka and the team were phenomenal from the first moment at their Open Evening to seeing us off the morning after our wedding. The outstanding personal touches of the stunning venue, the warm welcome every single time we spoke, the magnificent organisation, the absolute ease of flow on the day, the unrivalled support and eradication of stress from start to finish, they made our day perfect.

We were married at East Mersea Hall on the 16th of August 2025, and from the very first visit we knew it was the right choice for us.

Amazing day! Staff are fantastic specifically Anneka she’s been a star from start to finish! The food was amazing and the venue is absolutely stunning! Honestly would 100% recommend this venue absolutely loved it! Thank you for making our wedding day so special!

Fantastic venue for the wedding of my partners daughter. They really were a happy couple after the wonderful care and attention from the wedding planners there. We loved everything! xx

Excellent venue.... Food was excellent staff and service second to none .made for a perfect day and wedding.they food was very good .highly recommended for people to try this top venue

Professional, amazing service and the best experience we could have wished for. EMH made our dreams come true with a reasonable budget. Nothing was ever too much effort for this incredible team of staff. From the very first second that my partner and I stepped in to EMH we admired the professionalism and honesty. In some instances wedding venues can try and make as much money out of couples as they possibly can. Not in this situation, East Mersea worked with our budget, to ensure we had the most amazing days. We never felt pushed into decisions in the planning process and they were always available on hand. They said initially, that they were only a phone call away and they kept to that throughout. From our late night panic emails to early morning messages, they always responded promptly with the upmost professionalism. Anneka and the team managed everything perfectly in the build up and as we approached the big day, they were constantly checking in to see if we were ok. cont...

We had our day recently and it was perfect in every single way. From attending open evenings, to booking, throughout the planning stages and the day itself. East Mersea Hall and all the staff there were everything and more that we could ask for, Anneka especially. Nothing was too much, our ideas were embraced with such enthusiasm and our dream came to life. On the day Anneka was there from start to end, enduring the day was as stress free for us as possible and she truly nailed it. She is an asset to the venue. The venue itself has everything we could have asked for, a woodland, pavilion, beautiful outside area and lake - the perfect setting to our Autumnal wedding. Our over night stay in the Bridal Suite was comfortable and provided the much needed rest and relaxation. We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough, it is perfection in every aspect.

We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect wedding experience! From the first visit to the big day, Anneka and the team were absolutely incredible. Anneka helped guided us through every step and made us feel so relaxed and at ease. The professionalism and genuine care was amazing and made the lead-up to the day so smooth and enjoyable. The smaller details in the lead up like the menu tasting, made the experience even more magical. On the wedding day, everything was in such reliable hands; the coordination was seamless and the team made sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Being dairy intolerant, I felt completely comfortable and relaxed knowing everything was catered for and no trouble at all, I trusted them! Our guests were blown away by the stunning venue, the delicious food, and the outstanding service. The staff had such positive energy, which made them feel like additional guests and truly part of the celebration rather than external staff (while still being so professional). From the moment we booked, they made us feel like our day truly mattered and not just another wedding. We felt like the most important celebration which meant the world to us. We can’t thank Anneka (our wedding mum) and the whole team enough for making our day so special.

From the moment we went to our first viewing, we knew that East Mersea Hall was the right venue for us. Anneka Hill gave us a tour, and she was immediately warm, knowledgeable, and put us at ease throughout the entire process – right down to knowing which trees would have autumnal colours by the time our October wedding came around. No question or query from us was ever too much for Anneka and the team, and they had prompt, helpful responses to anything we threw their way. This, coupled with the intimate pre-wedding meetings and tastings, gave us so much confidence that we’d chosen the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. They made us feel like our wedding was the only one happening that year, and showed genuine interest and passion in every decision we made. On the big day itself, Anneka and her team were incredible from the start. All of our decorations were presented exactly as intended, and the entire morning ran smoothly thanks to their professionalism and friendliness. Many of the guests even commented on how excellent the staff all were, and no request was too much for them to fulfil. The reception drinks, canapes, and wedding breakfast were all handled with maximum care, too. Guests were well fed throughout the entire day, and so many guests have let us know that their meal at East Mersea Hall was amongst some of the best food they’ve ever had. The evening hog roast also went down a treat, and I’ll be thinking about that crackling for a long time to come. Once all was said and done, I was a little sad we wouldn’t get to work with Anneka and her team again. Their consideration made our wedding day perfect, and I would recommend East Mersea Hall to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding venue

...We used their excellent suppliers (Evo and Sylvie Neumann photography as well as buttercups cakes). Anneka contacted all of them throughout and kept them informed, that took the pressure off of my partner and I. The day itself was an utter dream, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, nothing was ever too much to worry about. The food was spectacular, the staff were so attentive and kept in mind all of the guests. In particular, my grandmother who they continuously brought tea and coffee to all day as they knew she was a little cold. It was the small things that meant the most at EMH and they definitely knew how to follow that up. The evening was superb, lovely evening buffet. As my wife and I (and 6 month baby) drove out of EMH on the morning after, we all had a tear in our eye. We will miss the wonderful staff team at EMH, we considered them close friends in the process and would have regular conversations over dinner about how amazing they were. We actually feel sad now when we see other people at the venue, it’s our special place and will be forever as it made our dream come true on a special day in February. Anneka and team, we cannot applaud or thank you enough. You truly are incredible and we are glad we got to do our special day with you guys by outside.

We couldn’t recommend East Mersea Hall enough! The venue itself is absolutely stunning – every detail was perfect and it provided the most beautiful backdrop for our special day. Our events manager was wonderful, making sure everything ran smoothly and even handling a seating plan issue with grace and efficiency. We felt completely supported throughout the day and loved every moment. We’re already looking forward to returning for our wedding renewal vows – it’s just that perfect!

We fell in love with East Mersea Hall the first time we came to visit. The venue is gorgeous, as soon as you see the lake and outdoor setting, we knew we would be getting married there. Everything about our day was perfect, from start to finish, and we couldn't have done it without the amazing Anneka. All of our guests also couldn't have faulted the day, the setting or the food, perfect perfect perfect! We can't thank you enough.
