Situated in the beautiful countryside near Rochford, Apton Hall is a (relatively) new Essex wedding venue comprising of three main buildings, a courtyard, a Grade ii listed Bridal Suite and guest accommodation. Dating back to 1086, the venue has been lovingly restored to become an exclusive wedding and events venue.
The restored stables feature the original brickwork and beautiful large wooden beams, and is fitted with a PA system allowing you to play your favourite music from your phone as you walk down the aisle. The courtyard – featuring a bespoke gazebo – is described as having the perfect mix of ‘contemporary and rustic charm’. The New Barn is – as the name suggests – the newest building at Apton Hall and is used for the wedding breakfast. It features bi-folding doors which open out to the courtyard and an extension that doubles the size of the space. Open all evening and featuring a fitted bar is the air-conditioned Cow Shed, whilst the Snug Bar provides a calm environment for guests throughout the day. In the winter you can cosy up near the log burner, and in the summer, you can cool off when the doors open out onto the Pond Garden. On the morning after your special day, you and your guests can meet for breakfast in the Granary which features ex%91posed beams, and wooden floors.
With capacity to host your wedding ceremony outdoors in the courtyard, or inside The Stables you can hire Apton Hall, safe in the knowledge that come rain or shine, you’ll be saying ‘I do’ in stunning surroundings.
The team at Apton Hall know that every wedding day should be as unique and individual as you are. Apton Hall’s Director and Front of House Manager Craig Loxton will liaise with you throughout you wedding planning journey and be present on the day itself. This consistency will ensure that all your plans come to life and your day goes smoothly.
When it comes to the food, you are in safe hands with Apton Hall’s Head Chef Craig. Having travelled the globe and developed extensive knowledge in international cuisine, Craig brings a vast array of choice when it comes to your wedding breakfast. All couples who have booked their wedding at Apton Hall have a personal consultation with Craig.
It may go without saying, but Apton Hall is incredibly photogenic and provides a plethora of beautiful backdrops for your wedding photos. The grounds are gorgeous and the barns and outbuildings let in ample amounts of natural light, which means you’ll look amazing in all the images taken.
The Stables can accommodate 115 seated guests for your indoor ceremony, whilst up to 200 covers can be catered for in the New Barn. The Cow Shed has a capacity for 180 people and 40 people can join together in The Granary on the following morning for a breakfast.
There is also overnight accommodation for up to 26 people, in a range of beautifully newly designed suites featured oak beams, vaulted ceilings and ensuite facilities.
