The Expert's View
"This is one of those venues that takes your breath away, again and again. It is in its own extensive estate, close to the A12, north east of Chelmsford. As you approach, you know you are going to be in for a treat, with stone walls surrounding the estate and a gatehouse at the entrance, then a long, long drive taking you into a valley, past a lake then up in front of the majestic house. The main reception venue isn't in the house, but in the walled gardens to the north east, which appear to have been designed specifically with weddings in mind. I loved the flow through the venue, starting from the little cottages at the entrance to the gardens, then through rose gardens, arches and walkways, with gardens opening up in front of me until I finally reached the reception pavilion at the end. It's been cleverly designed to give a secure and cosy feel within a very large estate, with access for caterers along a track to the back so that service is discreet. For an impressive summer wedding, Braxted Park has to be on everyone's wish list."
