If you’ve always dreamed of a romantic country wedding, the award-winning Reid Rooms near Chelmsford is the perfect venue for your big day. Located in picturesque Essex countryside, The Reid Rooms is a wonderful venue for all seasons, located at the end of a tree-lined driveway. The venue comprises a selection of converted historic weather-boarded barns surrounding an attractive courtyard. Set against a stunning rural backdrop and with beautiful gardens, complete with moated Farmhouse accommodation, our venue provides an idyllic location for your wedding day.

The venue has hosted over 1500 weddings and holds a civil licence. Ceremonies are held either in the stunning beamed Ceremony Room or outside at The Garden Pavilion or Meadow Pavilion during the summer months.

The main Dining Room has capacity for 115 guests, however, up to 150 guests can be accommodated by incorporating the adjoining lounge area. The maximum capacity for the evening is 200 guests. The lounge provides a cosy retreat with sofas and a log-burning fire. Next door is a conservatory, ideal for buffets and evening food. A separate reception area has a bar and good-sized dance floor. The buildings surround a beautiful, landscaped courtyard. Hire is exclusive for the day, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the grounds at leisure.

The Reid Rooms allows you to bring in any supplier of choice, including caterers, and provide your own wine and Prosecco for the day with no corkage charge. There’s a fully licensed staffed bar for the evening reception. The experienced team at the Reid Rooms can help you to plan a wedding to remember - from small, intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, formal or informal and with package options to include unlimited drinks, day and evening food and an evening DJ you can have your day just the way you imagined.

For the bride to dress for her special day, use of the bridal suite in the close at hand Marks Hall Farmhouse is offered. Built on the site of a monastery, the 15th Century moated Farmhouse provides accommodation for up to 20 guests in eight rustic bedrooms, available for the night of your function.

Exclusive use of The Reid Rooms is also a top choice for all kinds of celebrations, for birthdays, anniversaries, christenings - and of course, it is also a fantastic place to hold any size business meeting or conference.
