About Hylands House

Hylands House, a grand Grade II listed mansion wedding venue set in stunning parkland, which offers an unforgettable wedding day experience. Exchange vows in the elegant Ceremony Room before celebrating in style within the opulent Banqueting Room. From intimate gatherings to lavish receptions, Hylands House provides a picturesque backdrop for your special day.

For larger celebrations, the contemporary Grand Pavilion can hold up to 300 guests and is presented as a versatile space for couples to apply their own decorative style. Guests also have access to the estate's grounds for photographs, which include the Pleasure Gardens, the One World Garden, and formal Victorian Gardens.

A booking provides exclusive full-day hire of both Hylands House and the Grand Pavilion. The venue provides an Events & Weddings Executive to assist with planning, who is supported on the day by an Events Duty Manager and event assistants. The service also includes tables, chairs, parking stewards, and free guest parking. Hylands Estate does not charge a corkage fee. Guest access is from 10 am, with events concluding at midnight. The venue works with a list of accredited caterers and is equipped for multi-cultural weddings, with the capacity for structures such as Mandaps with sacred fires, Nikkah staging, and Chuppahs.

Hylands House, set in the heart of Essex, offers a stunning backdrop for unforgettable wedding celebrations. But the party doesn't start with the "I dos"! For an equally impressive pre-wedding celebration, Hylands House provides a sophisticated setting for hen and stag dos. Imagine elegant drinks receptions amidst the manicured gardens or a refined dinner party in the grand house. Its central location and on-site accommodation options make planning effortless and convenient for the entire group.
