Houchins Wedding Venue

Coggeshall, Essex

If I were searching for a wedding venue, above all, I would prioritise how well the venue takes care of its couples. And if it looks great too, that’s a bonus. Houchins ticks all those boxes.

It’s such a stress-free venue, with everything you need in one place, all centered around the beautifully kept gardens. I always look forward to photographing a wedding at Houchins; their team treats wedding suppliers well too—always helpful and friendly.


The Grain Store is usually where the wedding breakfast is held. However, I’ve also photographed weddings where dinner was served outside or in the foundry. It’s a versatile, exclusive-use wedding venue.

A recommended Houchins supplier.


I frequently capture weddings where Limeberry Caterer’s delightful food takes centre stage. Its deliciousness and aesthetic appeal make it a perfect subject during the wedding breakfast.
