High House Wedding Show

About High House Weddings

High House Weddings sits just outside Althorne in the Essex countryside and offers couples exclusive use of its estate for civil ceremonies, receptions and evening celebrations. The venue’s historic 18th-century Grade II-listed barn, with oak beams and brickwork, is licensed for indoor ceremonies. An alternative outdoor choice is the thatched gazebo beside a pond, also covered by the civil licence.

On the wedding day, couples and their party start in a dedicated dressing room with natural light and views over gardens and a pool, creating a base for preparations. After vows, celebrations can centre on the orangery, a contemporary space with panoramic views over formal lawns and vineyards, or on surrounding terrace and lawn areas.

The venue’s exclusive use policy means the entire property, from ceremony spaces to reception areas and grounds, is reserved for each wedding, enabling ceremonies, meals and celebrations to flow without interruption. For accommodation, the venue can host up to 27 guests across a combination of farmhouse bedrooms, courtyard rooms and a separate couples’ retreat nestled in the garden. Landscaped gardens, lakeside views and the vineyard backdrop are available for photography and relaxed moments throughout the day.
