Hello everyone! I am very new to this and this is my first post!
I am getting married in Essex, although it isn't where I am from, but it is now where I live with the OH. I am torn between a couple of venues and I wondered if anyone has any recent experience of them?
Vaulty Manor in Heybridge is one. Seemed lovely, friendly, very accommodating and seemed quite happy to let us have a free rein of the place- venue however was expensive, but caterers very reasonable and you can take your own wine for no corkage. However! I have read some really bad reviews about the place/accommodation and I don't know whether to heed them or not. It seemed perfect in every other way. I think we will put concerns to them, but it is disconcerting.
The other venue is Parklands, which I absolutely adore. It is perfect. Gorgeous rooms, fabulous setting and scenery and fantastic -looking accommodation. Real wow factor, but at a wow price! I doubt very much whether they will come down much from their quote as I know they charge those prices because they can.
Help!
I just want a lovely venue, with options to have our own stamp on things, and with plenty of accommodation. Anyone have any other venues they've seen? Xx
Thank you!
