Essex Record Office provides a truly unique venue for weddings in central Chelmsford.

Whether you already have a vision of what your dream day will look like, or are still searching for inspiration, we offer some great options for your marriage ceremony.

In our central Chelmsford location alongside the River Chelmer we have two different rooms available for wedding ceremonies.  We can provide a simple room for small weddings, or accommodate a more theatrical affair seating up to 140 guests in our auditorium.

 

After the ceremony, step outside to the banks of the River Chelmer for a great backdrop for your wedding photos.

Our event team pride themselves on their customer service and will do their utmost to ensure that each marriage ceremony is a memorable experience to treasure.  They are always on hand to discuss every aspect of your special day and answer any questions you may have.
