Welcome

A house that has been several things

Creeksea Place is a Grade II* listed manor house above the River Crouch, hired exclusively for each wedding, with three licensed ceremony areas outdoors and a silk-lined marquee for up to 200.

The rainwater head on the front is dated 1569, the date most often given for the house, and it is Grade II* listed. The wings were rebuilt between 1900 and 1907 for William Rome, a London coffee-house proprietor who also cultivated oysters in the Crouch. The Royal Navy requisitioned the house in the Second World War and commissioned it as HMS St Matthew. Luigi Bertorelli bought it in 1947, and the family still owns it.

The setting

Three places outdoors to marry

Most venues offer one ceremony spot. Creeksea Place licenses three: the Walled Garden, the Marble Gazebo standing in the orchard, and the Pavilion, which is reached across a white timber bridge on the lake. Indoors, The Regency Room, The Panelled Room and The Music Room are licensed too, so the choice can be made on the morning.
