COLCHESTER TOWN HALL 01206 506905 | https://colchester-weddings.co.uk The Town Hall is a jewel in Colchester’s crown. From its prominent city centre location, this magnificent Baroque structure, with its Victorian tower and statue of St Helena – Colchester’s patron saint – dominates the surrounding area. Bursting with Edwardian glamour, the Hall represents the most romantic and historic of venues. The building boasts a rich heritage, and couples are guaranteed to make a grand red carpet entrance from the moment they step inside. Couples can choose from a variety of function rooms to wed in, all of which are fully licenced for ceremonies and receptions. Moot Hall is the largest and most popular of spaces – its high-arched ceiling and tall stained glass windows create the perfect setting for up to 250 guests. There’s also the Council Chamber – ideal for an intimate wedding ceremony of up to 80; the Mayoral Suite, which comprises the Grand Jury and West Committee Rooms for up to 110; and the Old Library, a fully self-contained suite with reception, kitchen and cloakroom, again for up to 80. Receptions are then held in Moot Hall or the Old Library, during which the newlyweds can take a stroll to Castle Park for some unique photo opportunities. HOUCHINS 01376 561448 | www.houchins.co.uk Located in the picturesque village of Coggeshall, Houchins has been designed to offer stylish entertaining for up to 180 guests in a sympathetically converted farm building. With double height ceiling, mezzanine gallery, open fireplace and French windows opening on to a landscaped wedding garden, it’s a glorious setting to marry in. The cedar clad barn sympathetically marries concrete, wood and steel to offer a truly unique venue with an elegant marquee for the ceremony. Alongside is the venue’s evening food terrace, with festoon lighting creating the perfect setting for a more relaxed evening vibe. Divided into three distinct areas for ceremonies, dining and dancing, choose to marry in the oak panelled Drawing Room (20 guests); the traditional canvas Marquee (150 guests); the Foundry – set within the beautiful converted barn (120 guests); or have a blessing in the Woodland Wedding Glade next to the moat (100 guests). The Chitting Shed is then the perfect area for drinks, with huge glass double doors opening onto a west facing terrace, while the Grainstore has been artfully reclaimed as a dining area with capacity to seat up to 150. https://dominikamiechowska.co.uk https://bigfishphotography.com 20
