Greek Weddings at Parklands

Parklands, an idyllic setting for the perfect Greek wedding. Our mansion and gardens are a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Set in 100 acres of Essex countryside and deer park, Parklands offers you extensive grounds and stunning views creating amazing photo opportunities, perfect for a Greek wedding.

Within the mansion there are three reception rooms where exquisite decor and architecture give the atmosphere of a luxurious family abode rather than a stately home, with personal touches of modern art alongside antique furniture. Parklands can accommodate larger events, holding up to 450 guests in our silk-lined Pavilion attached to the rear of the mansion, making it the ideal Greek wedding venue. The Pavilion is beautifully decorated with silk linings and chandeliers.

Our dedicated team will be happy to help advise you on timings, usage of rooms and layouts for your Greek wedding venue.
Planning your Greek Orthodox Wedding

Setting the date

There are a number of days when it is forbidden to get married, including the fasting period 40 days prior to Easter and the 40 days prior to Christmas. The first 15 days of August, a period dedicated to celebrating the Virgin Mary, are also out of bounds. It is best to consult your local church as there are additional days on which marriage would be inappropriate.

Marriage can take place at virtually any time of the day, in accordance with the requirements of the priest. The only time that you can not get married is during Sunday Mass.

Banqueting

We do allow the use of outside caterers, or we can cater in-house for your wedding day.

Accommodation

We have 21 luxury guest double/twin suites available for hire plus our magnificent Bridal Pavilion. There is also a Bridal Changing Room included in the venue fee, and rooms can be used on a day-hire basis for changing.
