East Mersea Hall is a stunning Elizabethan Manor House dating back to the 15th Century. Historically, ‘The Hall’ was surrounded by a moat, which has now formed into a beautiful lake and has become one of the key features of the Hall.

We are licensed for civil ceremonies both inside and outside. If you would like a church ceremony, we have the beautiful Saint Edmunds Church situated on our grounds. Couples may also like to marry in the Woodland Ceremony Retreat. This is located in our tranquil woodland area behind the lake. This is a non-legal ceremony, conducted by a celebrant, in conjunction with a ceremony at a registry office.

The grounds are picturesque with a mature tree woodland, the stunning lake and landscaped gardens. East Mersea beach is also 5 minutes away for great coastal photos.

Enjoy your event under our stunning Pavilion, or choose to hire our marquee or tipi in our secluded Secret Garden for a more festival feel.


The Pavilion is a barn style venue, with light oak beams and glass fronted floor to ceiling windows that overlook the lake - it is a great location for your wedding breakfast. It can seat up to 150 guests for a meal and 250 for an evening.

The Secret Garden, located behind our lake is for festival style weddings. Marquees, tipis, funfairs.... the possibilities are endless. Your guests will be completely unaware that The Secret Garden is there throughout your reception drinks and canapes and will only realise when you take your seats for your wedding breakfast.

Here at East Mersea Hall we understand that every wedding is unique. We work closely with our couples to make sure that their wedding day is 100% their way. Whether you are looking for an informal BBQ, a Hog Roast or a 3-course meal, we have something for everyone. And even better, when hiring East Mersea Hall, it is exclusively yours.
