Mulberry House - Ongar

21.02.2025 - Our Wedding Day.
I don’t even know where to start. Mulberry House and the team that run it literally made my dreams come true. From booking with Chloe and Nicola, Claire and Jo on the day all way to Angela, Jackie and the lovely reception team these people are out of this world.
The venue is absolutely stunning, the renovations have improved on something that was already perfect - I didn't even think that was possible.
The food was amazing - canapés to the wedding breakfast.
The day ran like clockwork and that’s down to the people there.
I cannot thank everyone enough - there aren’t enough words to describe how wonderfully you our day simply perfect. x

This place is a hidden gem!
We didn’t actually search around for a venue, it was more a happy accident.
We found Mulberry House when we booked it as a hotel stay the night before our friends wedding nearby. Whilst having breakfast in the garden room overlooking the stunning grounds, we got chatting to Sammy who invited us for a quick tour. We fell in love with it there and then and a week later we booked our wedding there!

The entire team are amazing, they were unbelievably accommodating to our requests (even with a guest swap the day before the wedding!) They really go the extra mile for anything you need. The kitchen team are amazing with dietary requirements, they catered for nut allergies, coeliac, lactose intolerance and vegetarians throughout our day. From canapés, to wedding breakfast, to evening buffet!

It didn’t matter what staff member we spoke to, whether is was the wedding team, the catering/bar team, the reception team, or even the night porter! Everyone one was so polite and would stop everything to help you with anything you needed.

The venue itself is so well looked after, impeccably clean and tidy, immaculate grounds and the new renovation works are absolutely stunning, yet the venue still has a rustic charm to it. Not to mention all of the rooms smell amazing!!

We had so many compliments from our guests on the beautiful venue, lovely staff, the amazing food and the luxurious accommodation. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, we couldn’t have had a better time, which would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the tireless efforts of the fantastic Mulberry House team.
We’ll definitely be back for afternoon tea or maybe a romantic night away! We love it there so much!

An amazing venue. A really friendly bunch of people work there. Location beautiful, with plenty of parking. We had the extra special afternoon tea with a glass of prosecco, and there was loads of delicious food. Service excellent. Would I go again, definitely. Thank you so much..

We recently got married at Mulberry House on Sunday 3rd November 2024 and it was truly the most magical and memorable day, which we will both cherish in our hearts forever.|The stunning and picturesque grounds are beautiful and truly showcased an amazing wedding venue.|Every member of staff were so friendly, kind and accommodated our needs. This, in turn, made everyone feel relaxed and happy on our wedding day and made it a more memorable experience. We would both like to say a huge thank you to the Mulberry House Dream Team of Georgia and Chloe, the event organisers, Claire and Jo, who ensured that the whole day ran smoothly with an exceptional eye for detail and great customer service as they looked after both us and our wedding guests. We both did not want the day to end as it was so perfect. Also a special thank you needs to go to the Mulberry House Suppliers - TJ Florist, Lisa at Cake Cuisine, Jo at J. Hughes Wedding Stationery and Gail at Bridal Hair & Makeup. A big thank you also to Mark at Willow and Lace Photography. Their dedicated and professional efforts were greatly appreciated in showcasing our wedding day and making a truly magical and perfect day.|Everyone was impressed with the wedding breakfast. The food was delicious and made with quality ingredients. |The honeymoon suite was comfortable and provided everything and we appreciated the bottle of prosecco on ice and the freshly cut wedding cake provided in our room. The breakfast the following morning was very enjoyable.|We both cannot recommend Mulberry House enough. Excellent venue, exceptional service and great people. It felt like one big family who welcomed us wholeheartedly. Thank you for making our day so special and perfect and we will definitely be visiting again soon for an Afternoon Tea. Steve & Sharon

We had our wedding at Mulberry House in October this year, everything from start to finish was amazing. The venue is stunning, the food was incredible, but it is the people that really make Mulberry House so special. The whole team could not be more accommodating, from helping to plan the running of the day in the lead up, to setting up basically everything in the morning and then supporting us with anything we needed on the day. We couldn’t have had a better experience, and all their efforts allowed us to relax, be in the moment and enjoy our special day. Special thanks to Claire, Jo, Chloe and Georgia for all their help.

My wife and I got married at Mulberry House on 27 October 2024 and it was the most perfect day made even more special by the excellent staff at Mulberry House. Every single staff member was so lovely and accommodating - we truly felt at ease knowing that everything was in hand and the day ran so smoothly. Special thanks to Claire and Jo - the dream team! They helped set everything up and it looked perfect and was my vision come to life, and they were truly there for not only us as a couple but our family too - nothing was too much to ask. They were looking out for us on the day making sure we felt okay and that we were where we needed to be. And huge thanks to Chloe who was our point of contact leading up to the day and talked us through everything, answered every question and eased our worries. The day was such a whirlwind and I was wishing it would never end! The staff thought of everything to make our day special - even going as far as putting wedding cake, card box and prosecco in our room for when we got back in the evening. Beautiful honeymoon suite, and separate getting ready room too with an amazing breakfast spread. ||As a lesbian couple we had struggled elsewhere to find a venue to accommodate 2 brides - but Mulberry had the facilities to make us both feel special and have our own spaces to get ready that weren't too gendered or typical 'bride' and 'groom' spaces. We felt completely accepted and welcomed by everyone at Mulberry House. ||I could go on and on but in short if I could rate more than 5 stars I would - the venue is absolutely gorgeous and the service is top quality. It felt like one big family who welcomed us with open arms. Thank you for making our day perfect!

I went here for afternoon tea. I can't eat gluten or dairy and they were more than happy to cater for me. The food and tea was amazing and I will definitely be going back!

My family and I have had afternoon tea on a few occasions at this wonderful venue and have been looked after exeptionally from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, the sandwiches cakes and scones were excellent, the tea didn't stop flowing and they even provided boxes to take home what we couldn't manage! Recently I had to canel a booking due to very sad circumstances and Kim on reception went out of her way to help me. I cannot thank her enough and I am so very grateful.
