Everyone wants their
wedding day to be unique

That's why Colchester's unique destination for contemporary visual art is now open for brides and grooms seeking a truly one-off venue for their wedding reception.

firstsite's town-centre location – just off the High Street – makes us the ideal party venue for couples marrying at a civil ceremony in the nearby Register Office or Town Hall.

Contemporary

Our superb building has a contemporary edge that sets us apart from other venues with traditional styling.

Golden

firstsite's mellow golden exterior is the perfect backdrop for memorable wedding pictures, and our light-filled function rooms open out onto a sheltered D-shaped garden that's yours to enjoy in the summer months.

Romantic

By night, the gorgeously romantic illuminated lamppost, pictured, is a must for your wedding album.

Bespoke

firstsite can host a small, intimate wedding party, or a celebration for up to 160 guests. Tailor-made packages are available every day, including Sundays, for daytime or evening receptions. The function suite is exclusively yours for the occasion, and you can also enjoy photo opportunities on the beautiful Berryfield Roman Mosaic.

Delicious

From a buffet to a banquet, your wedding menu will be expertly handled by MUSA Head Chef Paul Boorman, a masterchef of Great Britain who specialises in modern British cuisine. Whether you want a formal dinner or an exciting contemporary buffet, you will be served by our in-house team of catering professionals in firstsite's function suite.

Dedicated

We'll assign you a dedicated Events co-ordinator to support you at every step of your wedding plans, and ensure your Big Day runs seamlessly.
