A Mansion Wedding Venue in the Heart of Essex

Previously a Royal Palace, Gosfield Hall in Essex invites you and your guests to a day you will never forget. Hosting only one wedding per day, you will have exclusive use of this elegant & historic house.

Make your way through the stunning grounds embossed with manicured lawns - the epitome of neat. 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 very different more intimate setting. For those who are looking for an outdoor ceremony, the carriageway is licenced and allows guests to enjoy the historic surroundings while the couple say their “I Do's”.

The Marquis of Buckingham’s former ballroom provides an exquisite setting for the wedding breakfast for up to 116 guests, and there are also several grand and ornate reception rooms for you and your guests to enjoy throughout the day. The culinary expertise of our team of in-house chefs is on hand to create your bespoke menu from canapés to the wedding breakfast.

There are 23 luxurious bedroom suites offered to you, exclusively for your wedding night, providing the perfect end to your day at Gosfield Hall. The Rococo Honeymoon Suite needs to be seen to be believed and is certainly a bedroom fit for royalty. If one night is not enough, The Marquis and Yew Tree Cottage are both available to your wedding party, for the night before your wedding, allowing you and 26 of your nearest and dearest to awake revived and refreshed ready for the morning’s preparations and pampering.

Our planner Gaynor was brilliant
We were married in May 2019 on a beautiful (very hot) sunny day at Gosfield Hall. We chose the Grand Salon as our ceremony room which looked stunning and used the rest of the outside areas and rooms for entertaining. Gosfield is the most amazing place to get married and I would definitely recommend it as a wedding venue. Our planner Gaynor was brilliant to work with and the catering and bar team are all so lovely.  The food was so good and drinks also! The venue is beautiful and we love looking back over our wedding photos and video. We can’t thank Gosfield Hall enough for making our happy day so memorable for us and our guests.

Our wedding day at Gosfield Hall was the most amazing day of our lives.
We were surrounded by all the people that we love and we couldn't stop smiling from beginning to end. We hold such special memories from our wedding day and can't wait to come back and visit Gosfield Hall in the future to relive our day. Thank you so, so much to our Wedding Manager Tegan for making sure everything ran so smoothly and all the staff that were there on the day.

Everything came together exactly as we had imagined.
Even bits that we struggled to see how they could be put into practice were achieved with Roberta’s (our wedding planner) care and attention - we cannot thank Roberta enough for making our day what it was. The personalised service that we received from Gosfield was second to none and we cannot wait to visit the venue again to relive our amazing wedding day!

We fell in love with the venue and knew nowhere else would compare!
Myself and my husband got married at Gosfield Hall on the 17th November 2017. It was the first and only venue we visited as we fell in love with the venue and knew nowhere else would compare! Our wedding planner was Keeley who responded to every query I had prior to the wedding so efficiently. On the day itself, Keeley was fantastic, she checked in on us all of the time and was so calm and collected all day. The venue itself was perfect, the food amazing and all of the staff were brilliant and so helpful. If you are looking to get married at Gosfield Hall you will have an amazing day, it is a beautiful venue rain or shine.

I think we knew it was the one from the minute we pulled up outside.
I literally cannot explain what my husband and I first felt when we drove down the road and saw the beautiful building. Our jaws were literally on the floor. The grounds were sensational, so green and so well maintained. We were greeted by Becky who spoke with us about options and took us around on a tour to show us how the day would plan out. She was so thorough and explained everything perfectly. The Grand Salon is where we were first greeted, I cannot even explain the décor… Out of this world! Beautifully art-painted ceilings, a piano and a fireplace. That was just the greeting room. We were told that the same room could also be used for the ceremony. We liked that there …

Also thank you to the team from the house staff, chefs to the admin staff you are all a credit to Gosfield Hall. Keeping up your work to make future brides and grooms happy must be a privilege.

Overwhelmed!

We have just got married at Gosfield Hall,

Our experience started when we viewed the venue and we first met Linda, the Sales Manager, she welcome us and made us feel at home,  she made us feel calm like this was where we was meant to be. Once we looked around at all the venue has to offer we had already made a decision as this is such a stunning location and instantly new this was what we wanted! It was just right for us.
Our next contact was with Ellie our wedding planner, she was very helpful and nothing was ever to much, we enjoyed the food tasting at the venue and was very impressed with the experience, it was out of this world.

Now on our big day, what can I say? The staff were amazing, Ellie couldn’t have done enough every time you wanted to ask a question she was next to us any time we needed something.

We have been to many weddings before but never have we had food as amazing as we did here.

Just to sum up if you’re thinking about booking your wedding at Gosfield Hall do not question it just book it. You will be amazed.

This was the only venue we looked at as it was always my dream venue, and it lived up to the expectation. Our friends and family have not stopped talking about how beautiful it was.
