Ceremonies
At High House, we believe that your wedding ceremony should be as unique and beautiful as your love story. Whether you’re drawn to the serene beauty of nature or the timeless charm of a historic barn, our venue offers two stunning options to exchange your vows.
Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies
Nature's Backdrop
Imagine exchanging vows beneath a thatched gazebo, with panoramic views stretching over the serene lake and surrounded by vibrant country flowers. This tranquil outdoor space offers the perfect backdrop for couples looking for a natural and romantic setting. Whether you choose a ceremony or a symbolic celebrant-led exchange, the atmosphere will be nothing short of magical.
Indoor Wedding Ceremonies
Timeless Elegance
For couples seeking the charming elegance of an indoor ceremony, the Grade II listed Essex Barn at High House is a dream come true. Dating back to 1750, this beautifully restored barn boasts stunning oak beams, exposed red brick, and full-height windows that flood the space with natural light. With its blend of historic charm and timeless beauty, the barn offers a warm and intimate setting for your wedding.

High House is a licensed wedding venue, so whether you choose the thatched gazebo or the Essex Barn, you can rest assured that your ceremony will be legally binding. We also welcome humanist and independent celebrants who offer the flexibility to create a truly personalised experience.
