Top Engagement Party Venues in Essex
Essex knows how to throw a party, and an engagement celebration here can be as grand or as intimate as you like. You could be clinking glasses in a grand estate, celebrating under the soft glow of festoon lights in a hidden woodland retreat, or toasting atop a rooftop of the Thames. Fancy raising a glass in a country manor where royalty once roamed? For a touch of old-school romance, some venues even sit on the grounds of former coaching inns where star-crossed lovers once met in secret. Local tip: The local vineyards produce award-winning sparkling wines—perfect for toasting to the future. Check out Essex’s best engagement party venues right here!
