With over 30 years of expertise, Country House Weddings is home to two exceptional exclusive-use wedding venues in Essex: Leez Priory and Gosfield Hall. Both award-winning manor houses provide the perfect setting for unforgettable, all-inclusive weddings, combining historic charm with outstanding service.
Leez Priory remains one of the most sought-after manor house wedding venues in the country. Set in 40 acres of parkland, with a sweeping drive, manicured lawns and lake, Leez Priory offers a picture-perfect backdrop for an exceptional day.
Ceremonies can be performed in any of the eight licensed settings. Celebrate your day in the stunning historical Tower, which stands adjacent to the Main House. Or, for a truly unique environment, have an outdoor wedding ceremony beneath the carriageway.
Steeped in royal history, Gosfield Hall offers an equally spectacular backdrop. Once a former Royal Palace, the venue welcomes guests through immaculate grounds embossed with manicured lawns. Enter Queen Charlotte’s oak-panelled gallery and walk its 120-foot aisle. Alternatively, the high hand-painted ceiling in the Grand Salon offers a more intimate setting. For those who are looking for an outdoor ceremony, the carriageway is licensed and allows guests to enjoy the historic surroundings whilst you share “I Do's”.
The Marquis of Buckingham’s former ballroom provides an exquisite setting for the wedding breakfast, and there are also several grand and ornate reception rooms for you and your guests to enjoy throughout the day. Complete your day with a restful night's sleep in Essex's most luxurious Honeymoon Suite, where you'll wake up as newlyweds in truly regal surroundings.
Gosfield Hall also benefits from The Marquis, a private pub, inn and restaurant just a stone's throw from the house, which can be used exclusively for night before parties, allowing couples to create multi-day wedding celebrations.
Whether you choose Leez Priory or Gosfield Hall, you'll enjoy exclusive use of your chosen venue, offering a range of packages to help you tailor your day perfectly, suiting all tastes, preferences and budgets. Our talented in-house chefs and bar staff will create exceptional dining and drinks throughout your celebration. Your appointed Personal Wedding Manager will be on hand before and during your wedding day to ensure every step runs smoothly and every moment is unforgettable.
