About The Lawn

The Lawn is a stately home in Rochford, Essex, that hosts wedding festivities. Set on three acres of beautifully manicured gardens in the heart of the Essex countryside, this is a truly enchanting wedding venue. Surrounded by over 100 acres of stunning private parkland, this property is exclusively yours, allowing you to celebrate in the style and seclusion you deserve. Facilities and Capacity With a license to host your civil ceremony in the galleried Grand Hall, The Lawn boasts the ability to host your entire day. With its gracious sweeping staircase only adding to the sense of occasion, the Grand Hall is the perfect setting for one of the most special moments of your life. This gives to-be-weds a breathtaking entrance to the ceremony and an unbelievable photo opportunity. Alternatively, you could enjoy a true English country garden wedding in the gorgeous gazebo. Nestled away in the gardens, its backdrop boasts unspoilt views across the romantic Rose Garden – a truly iconic setting for your special day. The glorious Orangery is the perfect place to host your wedding breakfast, lovingly prepared in its own kitchens by an in-house team of hugely talented chefs. Seamlessly and sympathetically blended with the Georgian architecture of the main house, it is a gorgeous, light-flooded space with dramatic garden views and full air-conditioning. The Orangery opens out onto the expansive covered terrace, where you will find the Summer Terrace Bar. You may party the night away on the dance floor, in the main bar, and in the Grand Hall. If it all gets a bit too much, rest your weary feet in a comfy armchair in the Blue Drawing Room. All these areas connect and are centred on the Grand Hall, so your party flows beautifully with everything working together seamlessly through to your big send-off at midnight. Services Offered Throughout the planning process, the staff of The Lawn will be by your side. On the day, these professionals will be there to welcome you in the morning and see you to the two lovely, large get-ready rooms where you can prepare and relax. Once the celebrations have drawn to a close, you and your guests can retire to the nearby four-star hotel with which this venue has an excellent relationship. Just five minutes away, it is the perfect place to unwind. Additional services from this venue's staff include exclusive use for the day, with total privacy and the full attention of the staff. Additionally, weddings benefit from a renowned catering service, with choices ranging from a buffet to a banquet.

We were married in September 2023 and had our reception at the lawn. As it was an African-British wedding, we had many requests which the team at the Lawn really helped with. As we had exclusive use, the bridal party could get dressed at the Lawn before heading to Church and the parking was great…
