The Old Parish Rooms provide the perfect setting for your wedding celebrations. Originally built in 1863 as a parish hall and school house, the venue is now a bright and modern space, ideal for intimate wedding events. The venue is now licensed to perform civil ceremonies, making it a wonderful setting for your wedding, naming ceremony or vow renewal.
The Old Parish Rooms are set over two floors. The venue can cater for up to 75 guests for a seated wedding breakfast. For larger events and standing occasions, the space can be transformed into a dance floor to accommodate up to 90 guests.
The beautiful old school house provides a truly unique and unusual wedding venue. Although the venue embraces the character and charm of the grade II listed exteriors, the building’s delightful interiors are light and stylish. The versatile venue suits both sleek, modern weddings and traditional, vintage-themed celebrations.
While set within the grounds of the Holy Trinity Church, the Old Parish Rooms is also accessible from local Registry Offices and civil ceremony premises in Southend and Essex.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch for more information about holding your big day at the Old Parish Rooms in Essex.

    Wow is all I can say. I held a surprise birthday party for my partners 60th Birthday. Everything was amazing from the organisation of the day itself, I’m based in Portsmouth so everything was managed remotely. Emily and Laura were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. On the day itself the bar staff were so helpful and made sure the evening ran smoothly and the food from Gather and Feast was delicious. I would thoroughly recommend the venue and the team, we had the most amazing evening, we only wish we lived closer to do it all again. Thankyou team, you truly made our night so very special ❤️
