We honestly had the most fantastic day and could not have asked for anything more! You guys have been amazing throughout and so reassuring at every stage we knew we were set to have the best time and we did!

Hannah & Don

What can I say…. AMAZING!

Writing an email just doesn’t cover how grateful we really are for what you and your team did for us this weekend. From meeting all the lovely staff on Friday and then the day itself, it really was sensational and one of the best days of our lives… just getting emotional writing this, what a day it was.

The venue is just so beautiful and everyone commented and how stunning it was and that they never even knew it was there, well now they do and I’ll be spreading the word! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU so much for all your hard work, for communicating and supporting us solidly in the build up, to the running and organising of the day itself. We will be eternally grateful for the fabulous stress free day you created for us.

Fleur & Andy

Thank you for such a wonderful day! It was everything that we could have hoped for and more. Everyone that we have spoken to has said how amazing it was and how seamless the whole day went so I can only thank you and your team for doing so.

Charlie & Nick

I cannot recommend Baddow Park House enough! We have just recently celebrated our wedding here on 28th August along with 70 day guests (a further 30 for the evening). The house and grounds are immaculate, they have made it modern but kept the original features in a really clever way!

Once we confirmed our booking, I got sent login details for an online portal that was so so helpful and an absolute godsend in the whole planning process. I loved that the guys at BPH could upload info, docs and invoices etc. There are even templates for seating plans which was a gamechanger and saved me so much time! The running order for the whole day/evening was even added so I could access it quickly when needed!

A big thank-you to Kelly, Gaynor and Jo who all went over and beyond to make our special day just perfect, nothing was too much effort for them and they really couldn’t do enough for us all not only on the day but also behind the scenes in the build-up to the big day too! Everybody was so friendly and I honestly feel like I’ve made friends for life.

Now onto the food! WOW!!! My now husband is a real foodie and used to be a chef many years ago, so the food for him was a big thing! Everything had to be perfect and of course it was!! Phil and his team at A&Co absolutely smashed it and I only saw empty plates being taken back to the kitchen.

Since the wedding I have had so many guests comment on how amazing the food was and the timing in-between each course was just perfect too. All 9 tables were eating the same course at the same time with no delays! The breakfast the following morning was also delicious which such so many options to choose from which was fab for a fussy eater lie myself!

Thank you to you all for making our day perfect!

Jenna & Ross

We were booked to get married in September 2020 at Baddow Park House, due to the current circumstances we have now rescheduled for September 2021. Thank you so much to the whole team at Baddow Park house and especially Kelly – Group Operations Manager, for being so accommodating.

We can’t wait to get married and celebrate our day at Baddow Park house with their fantastic team and gorgeous surroundings!

Fleur & Andy

Baddow Park House was everything and more we could’ve asked for. From the beautifully landscaped gardens to the bridal suite, it couldn’t have been a more perfect day. The whole team were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable making the day run so smoothly. The food and wine was excellent, I still have guests raving about it!

Thank you so much, Kelly and the whole team for all your hard work, we would love to relive it again!!

Caroline & Charlie

What an unforgettable wedding day we had at Baddow Park House, every single detail was perfect. From initial viewing to booking to pre-wedding preparation, you were all so helpful and supportive, nothing was too much trouble and no questions were left unanswered. The house is beautifully kept and the grounds exquisite, the atmosphere was lovely.

Baddow Park is a truly beautiful place to get married.

Kirstie & Andy

From our first visit to see Baddow Park even before all the renovations we were in love with it and knew this was the place we wanted to get married, not only was the venue and garden beautiful but Kelly made us feel so welcome we knew it would all go smoothly…

Unfortunately a 2020 wedding is not possible so now we wait for the perfect wedding at Baddow Park in 2021!

Victoria

We had the most unbelievably surreal weekend, it was everything we ever could have imagined and more. Everyone had so much fun, it was such a beautiful day. You and all the team made it so enjoyable and easy from start to finish. We’ve had people endlessly raving about the venue, food, and staff.

We can’t thank you enough for being so patient and accommodating with us at the beginning – we knew it’d be worth it, but I don’t think we quite realised how special it would be! All of our friends and family had the most glorious time catching up and letting their hair down. We couldn’t fault you on anything even if we tried. Nothing was too much trouble, you thought of everything and it was all done with such style and professionalism.

Thank you all so much for everything.

Megan & Will
FAQs
Do we have a choice with regards to the menu?

Absolutely! Our caterers can provide creative sample menus but if there is something that you specifically want to serve, speak to them to find out how they can arrange this. Whether you have always dreamed of a 'boho' wedding with a festival-styled food offering from our Log Shed Bar or a stunning, conventional wedding breakfast in our stunning Orangery, here at Baddow Park House, you don't need to feel bound by traditional wedding venue conformities.

Do you have a fire pit?

Here at Baddow Park House, we have a bespoke fire pit for you and your guests to enjoy. As an upgrade, why not serve marshmallows, the finest hot chocolates, and liqueurs?

Do you allow bands?

Absolutely! Please ask ask us for recommendations.

Do you offer accommodation for our guests?

We have 11 luxury en-suite bedrooms, including family rooms and twin options, to maximise your guests' configuration. Accommodation is offered to our couples as a package, which they can allocate accordingly.

Do you offer longer stays?

The team at Baddow Park House are experts at co-ordinating extended wedding celebrations. We help to make your wedding a true reflection of your personality by sharing some of your favourite things with your favourite people. With luxurious interiors and a quality, fully flexible resident caterer. When you stay with us, the house really is your home!
