The Lion House is firmly established as one of the top wedding venues in Chelmsford, Essex, offering a modern, purpose-built space ideal for celebrations of all sizes.

A Modern, Stylish Venue for your Wedding
The Lion House offers a light-filled, contemporary space with an elegant Art Deco-inspired design, providing a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony and reception. The venue’s modern style contrasts perfectly with the historic charm of the Lion Inn, which was built way back in 1495.
With two licensed ceremony spaces, the venue can accommodate both intimate weddings and larger celebrations. Whether you’re planning a small gathering of up to 30 guests in the Lion’s Den or a big event for up to 150 family and friends, each space is bright, airy, and welcoming. Natural light floods the rooms, creating the perfect setting for photographs, whilst the modern décor ensures a stylish and memorable atmosphere for your special day.
