The Rochford Hotel

About The Rochford Hotel

The Rochford Hotel brings weddings together under one roof in the town of Rochford, Essex, combining a licensed setting for civil ceremonies with spaces for receptions and celebrations. Situated with gardens around the property, it offers a venue where couples can choose both their ceremony and reception in one place or just a reception, supported by in-house catering and service staff.

Ceremonies take place in licensed areas that include the Wedding Pavilion and the conservatory. The hotel’s gardens extend around these spaces, creating open areas for guests to gather and for photographs following the service. The arrangements for the day are planned around the couple’s requirements, and a wedding co-ordinator and dedicated banqueting manager work with couples on the sequence of events and catering options. On the day, guests typically arrive for pre-ceremony drinks, followed by the service, reception drinks, the wedding breakfast, speeches, and evening entertainment, with bar facilities available throughout.

Accommodation is part of what the venue offers to couples and their guests. There are 20 en-suite rooms within the hotel, each with connectivity and refreshment facilities, allowing guests to stay overnight after the celebrations. Evening and brunch arrangements the next morning can be included as part of the overall wedding plan. This mix of licensed ceremony spaces, reception hosting, garden areas and overnight rooms means couples and guests remain in the same venue for much of the wedding day.
