Our Story
Houchins Farm has a rich history dating back to the 17th century, but it wasn't until 2014 that our journey as a wedding venue began. With a passion for delivering exceptional customer care, we have built an enviable reputation as one of the best wedding venues in Essex, winning multiple awards along the way. Over the years, we have continued to improve and expand our facilities, adding a honeymoon cart lodge suite, a second dressing room, an outdoor cocktail terrace bar, and an evening street food terrace.
As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, we are proud to have hosted over 750 weddings and events, and we look forward to many more joyous celebrations in the years to come.
