About High House Weddings

Nestled in the Essex countryside, High House is a place where unforgettable moments unfold, and every experience is tailored to you. Set in breathtaking surroundings, High House is an intimate yet spacious venue that blends heritage, beauty, and contemporary elegance with genuine hospitality. From the timeless Grade II listed barn to quintessential country gardens and vineyard backdrop, every corner of High House has been created with love and care. And, with the addition of the stunning new Orangery, and extended Stable Bar, weddings at High House offer versatility and unparalleled flexibility for year-round weddings. As a Certified B Corporation™, High House is part of a community of ambitious businesses working towards a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy. It reflects the way we operate day to day, from the people and suppliers we work with to the couples who choose to celebrate with us. This certification provides a framework for ongoing improvement, and we will continue to develop and refine how we operate across all areas of the business. Our couples are welcomed with warmth and looked after with the ease of true professionalism. Whether preparing with your closest friends in The Dressing Room, exchanging vows in the historic barn or beneath the thatched gazebo, or raising a glass by the Monet-inspired bridge, you’ll find every detail considered and every moment cherished. At High House, celebrations are alive with joy, connection, and meaning. Our talented catering team will craft menus that reflect your style, and the neutral interior of the new Orangery is designed to complement your chosen colour scheme. As the evening unfolds, your story continues with luxurious accommodation with space for up to 27 guests — from the elegant Farmhouse and cosy Courtyard Rooms to the hidden Couples Retreat, a secluded haven just for you. High House is more than a venue. It’s an experience shared — a celebration shaped by the people who care, in a place where memories are made to last a lifetime.
