Weddings at St Osyth Priory
Tracing its history back more than 1,400 years, the estate of St Osyth Priory has been at the centre of life in the north of Essex for many centuries. With more than 350 acres of incredible parkland and the largest collection of historic ecclesiastical buildings in the country, there is something truly special about setting foot within this treasured space.
At the heart of the estate lies Darcy House, a beautiful building that has been sympathetically restored to reflect its history as a great feasting hall, but with all the modern convenience of a contemporary wedding venue in Colchester. This allows wedding guests to celebrate their most special day in a wonderful, historic setting. Brides and grooms can walk in the footsteps of generations of happy couples from the past and even walk the same footpaths of the estate once walked by Queen Elizabeth I.
CELEBRATE AT ST OSYTH PRIORY
Few wedding venues in the world can match the historic setting of St Osyth Priory. This glorious estate can trace its origins back more than 14 centuries and the village of St Osyth itself owes its name to the estate and the mythical legend of St Osyth, whose faith earned her a sainthood. Even today, the legacy of this legend lives on.
A painstaking restoration of the estate and its buildings has preserved an ancient collection of buildings, giving them new life to live on as one of the most beautiful and historic wedding venues in Essex and beyond. Steeped in history, the centrepiece of the estate and main wedding venue is Darcy House, boasting ornate ceilings and views over the stunning parkland framed by monastic window arches. Share your vows in this incredible setting as you celebrate your love in a wedding venue with centuries of tradition.
“I genuinely cannot explain how incredible this venue is and I owe them my biggest thanks for making my day more than I could’ve ever imagined. If you can imagine it, they seem to find a way to make it happen.”
