Why historic wedding venues in Harlow are also the best

What is it that draws loved-up couples towards especially historic wedding venues, like the splendid Victorian backdrop of Shendish Manor? The short answer is, so many things. Historic structures have always held a certain fascination for many of us. They have a charm, elegance and definite sense of place.

Sometimes, it isn't possible to put your finger on exactly what it is about an older building that makes you love being there, but one thing is for sure: it is certainly apparent at Shendish Manor, which has long been one of the premier wedding venues in Harlow.

With its combination of striking architecture and 160 acres of exquisite parkland and formal gardens, our venue has a real 'timewarp' feel, inside and out. That feel is certainly apparent in the Apsley Suite, with its classy decor, sparkling chandeliers and the doors that lead out into its own private garden.

It's also evident, however, in the Manor House, which is the smaller of our suites, able to accommodate 92 guests for a wedding breakfast, this capacity rising to 160 when further evening guests are included. This compares to the around 350 guests that the Apsley Suite can accommodate.

The Manor Suite is a particular delight for those seeking the very best historic wedding venues in Harlow. With this building dating from 1853, it's very much the real deal, as is also demonstrated by its high ornate ceilings, Jacobean fireplace, oak panelling and sweeping staircase. Your wedding photographer will be spoilt for choice for great spots to start snapping the two of you in love.

Shendish Manor offers so many of the traditional strengths of historic wedding venues in Harlow, from romantic backdrops on which to have your photo taken, such as the Dutch gardens that the Manor House and Longman suite open out onto, to extremely charming interiors and the sheer 'wow factor' that makes such a big difference to everyone's memories of the big day.

However, in the background, our venue also serves up all of the benefits of the most modern wedding venue, such as complimentary parking, special bedroom rates for guests and our knowledgeable team of wedding co-ordinators who work so hard to plan your special day to the finest detail.

Spaces are air conditioned, we have relationships with some of the finest local caterers and we can respond to even the most specialised request. They are just a few more of the advantages of picking us out from the wider crowd of wedding venues in Harlow - historic or otherwise.
