Unusual Ceremony Locations in Essex

There are now more than 130 venues in Essex that are licensed to hold civil wedding ceremonies and many couples in Essex are taking advantage of this and are choosing unusual, unique settings for their ceremonies,  Some venues offer to coordinate the whole package including the ceremony, reception, catering, entertainment, photography and wedding flowers. Essex has a whole host of memorable wedding locations to offer including castles, seaside and outdoor locations.

Tolly's Flowers can provide wedding flowers for Essex venues of all kinds and specialise in creating unique designs to coordinate with, and make best use of, whatever ceremony or reception venue you have in mind. To help demonstrate the enormous range of wedding venues available in Essex we've chosen six interesting and distinctive locations to hold your ceremony.

Wedding Flowers Essex  – For creative and original designs for wedding flowers for Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire weddings.

Hedingham Castle
What could be better than getting married in a castle, like a fairytale princess? Dating back to 1140AD when it was built by Aubrey Devere, Hedingham Castle is a popular and very romantic choice of venue, with a wide range of wedding facilities including a vintage Rolls Royce, complete with chauffeur.  Jason Lindsay is the current owner of Hedingham Castle and he is a descendant of Aubrey de Vere.  As you're getting married in a castle, you could follow a princess wedding theme, complete with a princess wedding dress, frog prince accessories and pretty, pink and cream roses.

Weston Homes Community Stadium

For a really unusual twist, you could hold your reception at the stadium of Colchester United.  Whether you are a football fan or not, this is a great choice of venue for couples getting married in Essex. As this is quite a modern venue, you could stick to a modern theme, with simple, yet stylish dresses and contemporary wedding flower arrangements in bright, bold colours or in the colours of Colchester United.

High Barn
Conveniently located in Great Bardfield, Essex, High Barn is easily accessible from Colchester, Chelmsford and Bishop's Stortford. A Grade II medieval property, High Barn is the perfect setting for a medieval style wedding: the bride can dress in the style of a medieval maiden, entertainment could include jesters and jugglers and the wedding breakfast could be a medieval banquet. Wedding flowers can include lots of dark green foliage, especially ivy as well as plenty of traditional English flowers and wildflowers.

Electric Palace

The Electric Palace in Harwich is the perfect wedding ceremony location for film buffs. It is one of the oldest cinemas that is still intact and still has its silent screen, projection screen and exquisite frontage. The Electric Palace is one of only three cinemas in the UK to have a licence to hold wedding ceremonies. You can opt for either a simple ceremony or something more daring involving film and music. Film Noir could be the theme with the bride and bridesmaid dresses all in white and the groom, best man and ushers in black tie.  Of course, this type of location naturally calls for drama and glamour and the wedding flowers for this Essex venue could be white with a contrasting very dark colour such as purple, or could even have some flowers dyed black!

The Boatyard

For a nautical theme you could hold your special day at The Boatyard in Leigh-on-Sea, with the sea providing a wonderful backdrop for your wedding photographs. Wedding flower arrangements and accessories could include seashells , star fish and other nautical knick-knacks. This is a more informal venue and the dresses and outfits can reflect this. If you have page boys they could wear little sailor outfits.

Greenstead Hall Barn
You could hold your ceremony outside in beautiful gardens at Greenstead Hall Barn in Halstead. The picturesque lake provides a wonderful backdrop for photographs and Greenstead Hall Barn is perfect for a classic wedding. Traditional wedding flower arrangements and a classic bridal dress design would be ideal in this setting.
