Prested Hall
An award winning, exclusive hire wedding venue near Colchester in Essex. Licensed for civil ceremonies and available for your Wedding Breakfast and reception, with an option, weather permitting, for an outdoor ceremony.
Prested Hall is discreetly hidden down a long drive in 75 acres of parkland, just off the A12 between Chelmsford and Colchester.
There's something truly romantic about this part-moated 15th century manor house and its mature trees, tranquil setting and bridge leading over the moat into the fields beyond. The little gazebo at the end of the bridge offers the perfect backdrop for memorable wedding photos.
We offer you exclusive use of The Hall with its 14 lovely bedrooms so you can stay overnight with your immediate friends and family.
The handsome reception areas include The Oak Room (an 18th century room with a magnificent fire place and stained glass windows), The Garden Room, the elegant large Orangery overlooking the moat, and a marquee in summer. All three rooms are licensed for civil ceremonies as well as The Gazebo outside. The Dingle, a former chapel, is a luxurious bridal suite for those couples preferring to stay just a stroll from The Hall. Prested is known for its caring staff, great food and relaxed atmosphere. Just a stone's throw away from The Hall is The Health Club and Spa, with impressive fitness, health and beauty departments, there is something to suit everyone's needs.
Once the party is over, Prested couples can retire for the night. Join your house guests for a leisurely breakfast the next morning before driving off under the trees to your new life together.

Latest review
We held our wedding reception at Prested Hall on the 30th September and the day would have struggled to go any smoother. From the first time we viewed Prested Hall to leaving the morning after the wedding, our experience of Prested has been without fault. Our Events Manager was Kathryn who has the perfect mix of professionalism and warmth. In the 7 months that we were in contact with Kathryn she has never been anything other than genuine and personable, offering valuable advice based on her experience and being responsive to any of our questions/queries. Our day was extremely well organised at all stages and especially in the lead up to the wedding with Kathryn contacting our various suppliers in the run up to confirm timings, to on the day making sure that the marquee and cake was set up correctly prior to our arrival, through into the evening reception. You appreciate that someone has done an excellent job when you haven’t worried about any of the details on the day as you know you are in safe hands. Another big plus point for us was the ability to stay in the main building on the wedding night and the option to take the apartments by the Spa. I didn’t see the apartments but the rooms in the hotel are lovely, being tastefully and sympathetically decorated in keeping with the style of the house. A flawless day which is testament to the hard work of everyone at Prested. I cannot recommend the venue highly enough if you are looking for somewhere to have a stress-free wedding day in a beautiful setting. I am sure this will not be our last visit to Prested. [Read less]
