​Licensed for weddings and civil ceremonies, Orsett Hall has a beautiful Chapel located in the grounds, a new outside Wedding Gazebo and a choice of stunning Reception rooms. Our function suites are fully wheelchair accessible and can accommodate as many as 520 seated guests; we also offer facilities for couples whose religious or cultural backgrounds or beliefs require more strict control of their wedding arrangements (including outside catering).

The Chapel

Situated in a private and quiet corner of the grounds, the Chapel is licensed to conduct religious and non-religious wedding ceremonies, as well as civil partnerships. Its stunning interior resembles something out of a fairy tale and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Designed in soothing pastel tones and framed by elegant white beams covered in white flowers, the Chapel offers traditional seating and a large balcony where additional guests can be seated and music can be played. There is a lovely pathway from the main hotel to the Chapel, and if the weather is unkind we are happy to drive the wedding party the short distance. No other venue in Essex offers anything like our Chapel.
