What our customers say about us
"Getting married in the beautiful Grand Jury room in the town centre was perfect for our chic modern day. We also opted to add the Mayors Parlour to accommodate our 100 guests which allowed for some fantastic shots fom the Mayors Balcony"
Mrs B of Colchester
"We loved the Town Hall as it is such a unique venue. We didn't want a church or a bland hotel room for our wedding ceremony, so the Town Hall was perfect. We picked a lovely light, spacious and airy room which looks amazing in our wedding photos! I have such fantastic memories and would recommend anyone to get married at the Town Hall in Colchester!"
Mrs H of Colchester
