Hi, I'm the dedicated Wedding Coordinator for Rayleigh Windmill. Please feel free to give me call to ask any questions you may have, look at available dates and arrange a viewing.
We celebrated our wedding at The Rayleigh windmill last Friday and it was perfect. Although the capacity is only 20 people this was perfect for us as we only wanted to invite a small group of people and all of our guests commented on the fact that they could all see and hear everything during the ceremony which made it feel really intimate. We had flowers from Lifelike in Rayleigh Lanes who made the windmill look beautiful. Would definitely recommend for a small intimate wedding.We celebrated our wedding at The Rayleigh windmill last Friday and it was perfect.

Small wedding in an unique buildingSmall wedding in an unique building
Being a Rayleigh couple and having always admired the Windmill when we decided to tie the knot this was an obvious venue. The venue did have his challenges as max seating is 20 but we did manage. My dealings with regard bookings were with Sophie from the Council who was helpful, understanding and friendly on all occasions when we spoke I would certainly recommend the windmill as a setting for a small wedding in an unique building. This iconic building has made a great back drop to our photos - as have the lovely sensory gardens.Being a Rayleigh couple and having always admired the Windmill when we decided to tie the knot this was an obvious venue.

We couldn't have chosen a better place to marryWe couldn't have chosen a better place to marry
In August 2014 we were married at the Rayleigh Windmill. A great venue if you are looking for a small service as only holds 20 guests. From paying the deposit to the day of the service the staff we had contact with were excellent. The venue inside looked lovely on the day and we couldn't have chosen a better place to marry.In August 2014 we were married at the Rayleigh Windmill.
