Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Charlotte

We strive to be a flexible venue and we will be pleased to work with you as you plan your day. If you want to do things differently, please tell us, we are very happy to accommodate your requirements. The Boundary began when my husband and I could not find a suitable reception venue for our wedding. Our wish was for a venue that was flexible, a blank canvas and an incredible food offering. The only option was to build a venue - and here we are!

Amazing venue!

We had such an amazing wedding at The Boundary. The venue is beautiful. I loved the barn feel inside the score board and the marquee looked amazing. The food at The Boundary is so good!! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and so glad we chose it! It really is a hidden gem!

Make your own day

After looking at what seemed like a hundred venues I stumbled across the boundary online and after visiting was so glad we had. The venue itself is lovely and really is a blank canvas to put your own stamp on. Charlotte was always welcoming and happy to help us bring our ideas to life, we had so much more freedom food and drink wise then anywhere else we had looked at and was able to make it so much more personal to us because of this. The food was all delicious. Everyone that came to the day had nothing but praise for everything a great day was had by all! Would recommend anyone looking to visit the boundary and see for yourself we wouldn't have changed a thing about our day.

The best day!

We had the most amazing wedding day at The Boundary. The venue is beautiful and all our guests raved about the food. The staff were fantastic all day and Charlotte was a great coordinator. The day ran perfectly and was completely faultless. It would be very find to find a more flexible venue, too! Thank you so much for the best day ever.

Absolutely stunning wedding venue

I understand that this was the first wedding reception to be held at The Boundary and what can I say - just amazing! Faultless from start to finish....the food was without doubt the best I’ve eaten at a wedding or any large event or even at most restaurants - top quality!! A venue that really must be seen to believe the potential, a space that can be tailored to any taste. Just something really quite special about it all <3

My favourite day of 2022

Watching our friends get married at The Boundary was an amazing day. A venue that expressed and portrayed our friends personalities down to a tea! The decor/ dressing of the venue, food, drink and more than accommodating staff we all spot on! I would recommend The Boundary to anyone.

The most amazing day or our lives

Simply amazing! From the very start we were looked after by Charlotte and her team! The team took all the stress of a wedding away from us so we could just enjoy every moment. From helping with suppliers, organising our wedding breakfast and selecting drinks packages - we couldn’t have asked for more. On the actual day you exceeded all expectations! The venue was beautiful and the staff were incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day and that’s due to all the hard work from Charlotte, Jack, Denise and all the team at the Boundary! You are all truly amazing. Our vision came to life with the decor and finer details to the incredible food served by Jack! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful on the day and we had the best day possible. Thank you for making our dream come true and taking such good care of us! All our love Mr and Mr Topsfield-Cross.

The best venue in South Essex

The Boundary as a wedding venue really is a hidden gem amongst other wedding venues in South Essex. The view out over the cricket pitch on a late summers evening really is as idyllic as it sounds. The staff and crew are exceptional and the continuous improvement to the venue and facilities makes it a perfect option for any wedding.

FAQs

Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Boundary?

There is no way we can choose - they are all amazing! (Although Charlotte might say her own but thats justified surely we want everyone to always say their wedding is the best they have been too!)

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Make your planning appointments into dates - come view our venue and enjoy a wander around the grounds with a glass of fizz! We also offer private tasting events for your wedding breakfast. Do this for all your planning - turn a visit to the florist into brunch beforehand, or ask your cake maker to send samples to taste and have afternoon tea at home, or have an evening at home with a takeaway listening to music making playlists! Also - most travel agents will provide you with drinks and snacks whilst you ponder ideas!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

A grooms dad performing the ceremony, it was beautiful to watch and so very personal. There was tears all round including all the staff! We are very excited that we have a brides brother due to be performing a ceremony in 2021.

Describe The Boundary in 5 adjectives

Flexible, Blank Canvas, Relaxed, Personal, Unexpected!

Where’s the best photo spot at The Boundary?

Its random - but the galvanised steel water storage is a great backdrop for some urban styled shots. The centre of the cricket pitch is also beautiful!

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Boundary?

Sadly not - but we are sure we will one day!

What’s your favourite canapé?

Lamb kofta with smoked aubergine or Taramasalata on flatbread with pickled cucumber (we cannot pick just one!)

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Pizza Van, the Puttanesca (Anchovies, capers and black olives with mozzarella cheese) is devine!

What is The Boundary most unique feature?

The Scoreboard ceremony area! Its very unexpected! I dont think we have had a single couple view the venue without saying we had no idea this was here!

What part of your business are you most proud of?

That our couples become our friends and they want to come back to see us for other celebrations like birthdays and christenings. We absolutely love this!
