Begin Your Story

Three barns, 60 acres & all yours.

A historic Essex wedding venue that’s been home to the Capel Cure family for 230 years and yours for your big day.

Where memories begin…

Welcome to Blake Hall

Blake Hall has been home to the Capel Cure family since 1789. Now, we’d love it to be yours for the day.

Three beautifully restored 17th-century barns comprising of the Essex Barn, the Hay Barn, and the rather versatile Saddlery, 60 acres of beautifully maintained gardens and ancient trees, and not another wedding in sight. Just you, your people, and centuries-old beams that have witnessed more love stories than we can count. And your wedding night accommodation is included, but we’ll get to that.

The Venue

The Barns

Three magnificent 17th-century barns, each with its own personality.

The Gardens

Sustainable

Every Space, Thoughtfully Connected

From your first moments of the morning to the final dance of the evening, every part of Blake Hall has its place in your day.

Begin in the Hay Barn or beneath the Saddlery for your ceremony, move into the gardens and terraces for drinks, before gathering in the Essex Barn for dining and celebration.

Each space flows naturally into the next — creating a wedding day that feels effortless, considered and entirely your own.
