Wedding Venues in Colchester

What can we say. Our experience from our first wedding enquiry with Holly to the week after our wedding has been fantastic. We got married at Teybrook Orchard 7/6/25 and everything about this venue has a ethereal and Fae like charm. From the woodland ceremony area, to the marquee, the yurts and even the sound of the stream trickling passed the site. Even the toilets and showers sparkle ! No really haha. It was truly magical. We were able to customise the venue exactly how we dreamed. Holly went above and beyond at every turn and helped make it an experience to remember. She was contactable through out all the planning, with vendor recommendations, ideas etc. She was available the day before and on the day. The process was so relaxed and the day ran smoothly.... Thanks to holly! I have a disability and this flared up over the wedding...Holly supported me through out, offering kind words, ice packs, checking in on me and coordinating the day to help me get recovery time and enjoy our special moments through out. She truly helped make the small moments special. An example of this was bringing us our stonebaked pizza "takeaway" style to our yurt were I could rest... And share an beautifully intimate moment with my husband. Reminding us that this day was about the two of us and that our guests were happy and taken care of. Thanks to holly we were able to capture a truly beautiful moment. I can not thank her enough, recommend this venue highly enough or the Browning Brothers company as a whole. Our guest are still talking about it a month on and have all said it the most amazing wedding venue they have ever been too. Our experience was thoughtful, intimate, tailored and pure magic. If you are considering this venue, get in touch with them you won't regret it!

Having our June 2024 wedding at Le Talbooth was absolutely perfect! We worked with Jess who was always on hand, incredibly prompt and professional and easy to chat with about all and any small worries. She made everything about the day go so smoothly and we felt that we were in the safest hands. She made all our requests happen and no question was too silly. The food was incredible and Le Talbooth managed the various dietary requirements and allergies guests had with absolute ease and skill. Our guests still talk to us about how delicious the food and wine was! Le Talbooth helped coordinate rooms at the Milsoms hotels for guests and removed all stress for us! We arrived by boat and the setting on the river was superb and completely dreamlike. What an exquisite day and what a fantastic, experienced and utterly brilliant team. Thank you Le Talbooth!

From the start of plannig till the day after our wedding I cannot fault the Holiday Inn and the fantastic wedding coordinator Darrell. The whole team were amazing and our day went so smoothly thanks to the entire team. The transformation of the ceremony and reception rooms were incredible. We had our wedding fully vegan aside from the kids and they even made special effort to check the wines served were vegan. Thank you so much for an amazing day.

We had our wedding reception at Talbooth House & Spa and we truly had the best day ever. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, we loved the outer space from the very first time but also all the bedrooms and the beautiful inside space. We would highly recommend it to other couples looking to book their wedding. We really loved the attention to detail, the good quality food and the professional staff always trying to go the extra mile. Especially for an intimate wedding like ours, with a smaller number of guests this is the perfect location.

We had our wedding at The Rose and Crown Hotel on 5th June 2025. The hotel was the only venue we looked at and from the first viewing we knew it was the one. It’s a beautiful hidden gem. Sian and Ilze was amazing support for us throughout the process, no matter how many times we email for a million questions they were always happy to help. The venue itself is absolutely stunning! We arrived the day before our wedding to set up and the staff was so helpful. I cannot fault The Rose and Crown team. The day itself went so smoothly and without any hitches and I cannot thank the venue enough for all of their support! Thank you to The Rose and Crown for giving us the wedding of our dreams! 🤍

From our initial visit through to the actual reception date nothing was too much trouble. On the day Michelle was helping lacing me into my dress and stayed late to make sure the meal service was perfect. Stephanie kept us on track with her knowledge and past experience and informative emails. Our day was perfect and all our guests have said what a fantastic day!

From the initial meeting through to the day of our wedding Louise and Phoebe were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. In the day of the wedding they dressed the venue to the highest standard and were so attentive, even helping my daughter when her speech became so emotional. I cannot rate them high enough. Stunning venue with the highest level of service. Price was reasonable with so many extras included saving the stress of sorting discos and catering. 1000% the best choice we made. Thank you Wivenhoe house for making our dream wedding come true.

A very beautiful place and nobody could find a single thing to complain about and if you had met the 80 guests we had...that is some feat. Victoria and her team we're amazing, nothing was too much trouble for her, waiters/esses, bar staff, room service, anyone at all Save yourself the time of looking about and book this venue, you will not be disappointed

Dear Julia, every time we met we always enjoyed the planning process, you made all of those decisions very easy and fun. Your advice certainly came with some great ideas for things that we didn’t even consider. We had a fantastic and very memorable day at The Barn. From the team at the event to everyone being cared for so well, the service, food & drink was just perfect. We already know some friends that are returning for dinner, we will be doing the same shortly. Once we get some photos over we will share some with you. Finally, we wish to send a huge personal thank you from us to you, you made our day very special and we will forever grateful. Paul and Peter x

We had our wedding at Houchins on 12th July 2025 and had the most amazing day. Couldn't recommend the venue more, the service beforehand was brilliant, very responsive and organised and helpful. We were lucky to have a sunny day and the venue looked stunning, a great mix of outdoor areas each with their own character and then a great layout indoors, we had so many people say was a great venue it was. It was also so helpful to have the house and honeymoon suite next door, we booked it the night before as well and were so glad we did as it made the morning of the wedding so calm and relaxed. On the day the team were brilliant and made everything go smoothly, as well as being cheerful and friendly to everyone. The bar staff also did a brilliant job with quick and friendly service and great cocktails! Special mention to Jayson who co-ordinated everything on the day and just gave us so much confidence everything was in hand and would all go well! Thanks Houchins, would highly recommend!
