As with every couple that passes through That Amazing Place, we’re always blown away by the amount of love for each other they so proudly display yet it has to be said, Sydney and Aaron could very well be the most loving pair we’ve ever met. When asked about their first meeting, Sydney had this to say, “Aaron and I have been together for around 8 years or so. We knew each other at school, admired each other from afar. Aaron was a little older, I would have been too shy to talk to him. I just threw him the odd smile now and again. He has such a beautiful soul; I knew there was something very special about him, even back then.” And so, we bring you our latest ‘real wedding blog’ of Aaron and Sydney, right here at our exclusive-use wedding venue.
Just What Drew Them To Our Exclusive Use Wedding Venue?

The Venue – Living in the age of social media, so many of us now choose recommendations from friends so it’s no surprise that Sydney and Aaron actually stumbled across That Amazing Place, our exclusive use wedding venue, all down to a friendly recommendation, “We were actually recommended the venue by a friend. It was the first place we looked at. We came for a viewing, and were welcomed by Paul…the perfect host. It goes without saying, this venue is gorgeous!”
Theme and Colours – Sydney has described herself and Aaron as notoriously last-minute and as a result, their theme simply came together by itself, “Our theme was loose and sort of grew organically as we got closer to the day. We knew we wanted as many friends involved as possible; we are blessed with so many creative people in our lives. So, all music, hair, make-up, flowers, stationary, dresses and suits were all from family and friends. The ‘loose theme’ included traditional British winter, rich reds, vintage 1950’s Jackie Kennedy/Audrey Hepburn and a little Dolce & Gabbana s/s 15 collection.”

The Dress – Perhaps one of the most attention grabbing parts of any blushing bride’s day has to be the revealing of the dress and with it giving Sydney, “that feeling” as she describes it, her dress was certainly no exception. The dress itself was made in London by another friendly recommendation, Alan Hannah. Originally she found around four to five dresses that she fell in love with but only one really gave her that special feeling when she put it on, making her feel, “just the best I had ever felt!” But in spite of what the majority may say, a wedding isn’t just about the bride. When it came to the groom and his groomsmen, Ted Baker came to the rescue offering a mixture of separate pieces and differing textures with Sydney explaining that the fabulous mixture, “just seemed to sum up Aaron’s personality really. Great quality and individual pieces.”
With a traditional, heart-warming British theme for food and flower arrangements created by Sydney’s mother, this really was a truly British, traditional wedding and we couldn’t have been more pleased to play host here at That Amazing Place, an exclusive use wedding venue.

Wedding season is in full swing here at That Amazing Place and as always, we just can’t help but share the beautiful nuptials taking place here at our Essex wedding venue. Today, we’re talking about the beautiful couple that is Emma and Ronnie. Emma and Ronnie are the epitome of childhood sweethearts having met at primary school but love wasn’t to blossom just yet as they ventured off to different secondary schools. Fast-forward to the age of social media when they just so happened to stumble upon each other and it was a very different story…
The Venue – When it came to the venue, Emma and Ronnie were determined to find something that felt stylish and contemporary. In Emma’s own words, “That Amazing Place ticked all of the boxes. The building and the grounds were simply stunning, and the owners and staff were so friendly and accommodating. We knew as soon as we viewed it that it was where we wanted to hold our big day.” And so, our Essex wedding venue became the centre of their big day. Reviews for That Amazing Place have often left us speechless, but Emma and Ronnie left us with a lump in our throat after explaining, “Apart from being such a stunning venue, the owners and staff were fantastic. Angie, the Events Manager was super supportive and made sure everything ran without a hitch, and Paul and Jayne, the owners, were so friendly and accommodating it made the whole experience truly wonderful.”

Theme and Colours – When it came to theme and colours, Emma and Ronnie kept it minimal, contemporary and romantic, “We took a lot of inspiration from how the venue had been styled previously and the neutral décor lent itself well to what we wanted to recreate.” When it came to the flowers, they used Joanne Truby Floral Design, “She had decorated the venue previously and we loved the romantic, sophisticated styling she had managed to create. We were going for quite neutral whites, creams and pinks for the colour scheme, and Joanne was able to capture that beautifully in the arrangements chosen by using a lovely mix of roses, peonies and ranunculus, amongst others.”
The Dress – As anyone knows, one of the most important aspects of any brides big day is the dress (aside from marrying the love of her life of course) and Emma’s bridal gown was of no exception. Her dress was by Pronovias and according to Emma, “Was always going to be – had loved the brand for years”. As with her theme for her big day, Emma wanted something simple yet striking and her dress achieved that look perfectly. Ronnie wasn’t to be left out either with his grooms suit coming from the contemporary designer that is Ted Baker, with the groomsmen following suit.
Emma and Ronnie’s big day really was a day to remember and one we’ll cherish taking part in forever. Thanks to this wonderful couple, our Essex wedding venue will always feel that little extra bit special. Emma, Ronnie, we wish you all the love in the world and thank you for choosing our venue.
