Prested Hall is a beautiful, privately owned, 15th-century country manor house, positioned at the end of a tree-lined drive in 75 acres of gorgeous Essex parkland. Prested is yours and yours alone on your big day. Prested has 14 elegant bedrooms with fine period interiors, 6 serviced apartments and is naturally the first choice for many couples from Essex, Suffolk, and beyond. All of our reception rooms and our delightful waterside gazebo are licensed for civil ceremonies. So whether you are looking for an alfresco summer ceremony on the lawn or an intimate winter ceremony in our warming oak-paneled room, Prested has something for all. During the summer months, couples also have the option to dine in our traditional marquee with picture-perfect views out across the manicured lawns, moat, and the stunning parkland beyond, creating the perfect backdrop to any wedding breakfast.
