Wedding Venue of The Week: Mangapp Manor Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex

Every week we will be telling you about a different Essex Wedding Venue that we have worked closely with in the past. This weeks' venue is:

Mangapp Manor

We always love coming to Mangapp Manor! We always receive a wonderful warn welcome from owners Kate and Ben and from wedding organiser Sasha. We travel to many venues but we really do rate Mangapp as one of the friendliest and most organised venues we have ever visited. The grounds are truly stunning and getting married on a pontoon on a lake is very unique!

We have included some of our own photos we have taken at Mangapp to give you an idea on how stunning this venue is!

Here is a bit more about Mangapp:

Mangapp Manor is a former 16th Century Manor House set in 12 acres of formal gardens and paddocks dedicated to providing exclusive and intimate weddings in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex.

Few Essex wedding venues can boast the colour and true spectacle of the grounds at Mangapp Manor during the spring and summer months. Offering outdoor weddings, couples can marry on a floating gazebo in a unique and stunning lake setting. Wedding receptions are held in a beautiful silk lined marquee on the lakeside, surrounded by idyllic gardens.

Mangapp Manor has charming wedding accommodation for couples and their immediate family and friends. There is further luxury accommodation for large numbers of guests very close by to this Essex Wedding Venue. There are ample hotels, pubs and B&Bs within the historic town of Burnham on Crouch, located a mile away.

Mangapp Manor is owned by Kate and Ben who moved to the house from London in 2005. Initially struck by the beauty of the grounds and the backdrop of the house they saw the potential of the location for a unique and romantic wedding venue.

Organising their own wedding reception at Mangapp Manor in 2006, they had a vision of creating a magical garden setting for wedding celebrations and of using the lake as a feature for outdoor marriage ceremonies held on water.

Based on their own experiences as a bride and groom and of being guests at many other venues in Essex, Kate and Ben attempt to offer a great deal of flexibility to couples planning their weddings matched with reasonable venue pricing. They understand that brides and grooms want to have some control over making their own arrangements for their wedding day whilst all the finer details are taken care of.

Mangapp Manor is a small, family business run by Kate and Ben and a loyal and hardworking team.

Wedding couples are well looked after and given a great deal of personal attention at Mangapp Manor within a relaxed, homely and friendly environment. These qualities are often lacking in larger or more corporate wedding venues. Kate and Ben coordinate all weddings themselves and manage the smooth running of events by both being present throughout the day and evening celebrations, ensuring their high standards are maintained.
