A Three-Day Wedding Experience to Remember at st osyth priory

Imagine celebrating your wedding not just for a day, but across an entire long weekend of joy, elegance, and unforgettable moments. At St Osyth Priory, we invite you and your guests to slow down, savour every detail, and immerse yourselves in a truly bespoke three-day celebration within the stunning grounds of our historic estate.

The Night Before: A Rehearsal Dinner to Remember

Your experience begins the evening before your wedding, as you gather your closest friends and family for a bespoke rehearsal dinner. Our team will work with you to curate a menu that reflects your personal tastes - from family favourites to signature dishes that tell your story. Whether you choose a candlelit dinner in the Darcy West dining rooms or a more grand event in The Gallery, this is the perfect opportunity to relax, reconnect, and anticipate the celebrations to come.

The Big Day: A Setting Like No Other

Wake up within the tranquil surroundings of St Osyth Priory’s private estate, where timeless beauty meets modern luxury. Exchange your vows in one of our exquisite ceremony spaces - from the grandeur of Darcy House to our romantic chapel. Your wedding breakfast is crafted to perfection by our culinary team, featuring seasonal, locally sourced ingredients presented with style and flair. As the evening unfolds, celebrate with music, dancing, and laughter beneath the stars - knowing your guests are just a short stroll away from their luxury accommodation.

The Morning After: A Farewell Brunch

The following morning, gather once more for a relaxed farewell brunch, the perfect way to say goodbye to your guests. Enjoy freshly baked pastries, comforting classics, and a few indulgent extras - perhaps accompanied by Bloody Marys and Mimosas for those who wish to toast one last time.

Stay in Style

Throughout your stay, you and your guests can unwind in our collection of luxury self-catering accommodation, each residence offering refined comfort and character. From elegant manor suites to charming cottages tucked within the grounds, every space has been designed to ensure your wedding weekend feels like home - only more magical.

St Osyth Priory hosts Strictly!

By Josie Wright • September 23, 2025

Historic St Osyth Priory took centre stage for the new series of the BBC’s flagship show Strictly Come Dancing. The multi-award winning TV show launched its new series on Saturday with 15 celebrity contestants meeting their professional dance partners for the first time. More than five million viewers tuned in to watch the show with more catching up on BBC iPlayer. Viewers saw five of the contestants waiting nervously at St Osyth Priory to find out who their dance partners would be. Model and actress Ellie Goldstein, who became the first model with Down syndrome to feature on the cover of Vogue and appear in a campaign for fashion giant Gucci, waited in the formal gardens of the priory, smiling broadly as she discovered she would be partnering former Strictly winner Vito Coppola. EastEnders actor – and Strictly superfan – Balvinder Sopal, who plays Suki in the BBC soap, was paired with dancer Julian Caillon who is looking forward to his first year on the show. Shakespearean and TV actor Alex Kingston joyously greeted flamboyant dancer Johannes Radebe outside the priory while TV personality and broadcaster Vicky Pattison was filmed in the stunning panelled Darcy House to meet popular dancer partner Kai Widdrington. England footballer Lioness Karen Carney smiled with delight when she saw dancer and choreographer Carlos Gu. Aerial shots also showed the priory’s scoping grounds and stunning gardens as well as the exterior of the magnificent estate. William Grinsted, managing director of St Osyth Priory Estate, said it was wonderful to welcome the Strictly celebrities and dancers and he said he hoped the venue would be used again in the future. He said: “Everyone was so nice and it was great to have them here. They seemed to be having a good time and they were laughing and chatting with each other. “We have had historians filming here before and, of course, TV presenter George Clarke, who officially opened the restore Gatehouse. But having Strictly to film here was the pinnacle. The estate looked amazing and we are hoping it will lead to more opportunities.” To find out more about the priory and organising an event, click here , call us on 01206 430160 or email info@stosythpriory.co.uk and our staff would be happy to see how we can help you. If it’s good enough for Strictly….!
