About Venue

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.

We attended a wedding here this weekend and it was such a lovely venue! Staff were amazing and even provided me with some cheese and crackers when my pregnancy sickness hit before the main meal! They were wonderful and it was such a fab venue, beautiful, spacious and had everything.
