July/August 2021

 
Hugs from friends, happy tears during the ceremony and busting moves on the dancefloor – these are some of the things I’ve missed about weddings. Not to mention the flowers, the cake, the delicious food, the anticipation of what the happy couple are wearing, the entertainment… the list goes on! We could get stuck feeling upset for those whose plans have been ravaged – my friends are on their fourth wedding date – instead, I’m going to channel the emotion from all the hard times and missed events to ensure that I make the absolute most of every second with loved ones.

This issue is all about celebrating the incredible Essex wedding suppliers who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic: from the florists (page 53) and venues (page 19) to the make-up artists (page 86) and photographers (page 95). Whether you’re planning your big day for the fourth time or you’re recently engaged, these pages will provide everything you need to plan the ultimate celebration.

Colchester Castle

At the grand gated entrance of Castle Park lies Colchester Castle, a venue steeped in thousands of years of history. Set in the heart of the town, and surrounded by manicured lawns and gardens, it’s an idyllic backdrop for weddings.

Crossing the grand drawbridge into the venue, guests enter the Norman castle, which dates back to the 11th century. The keep is mostly intact and is the largest of its kind in Europe. Inside, hundreds of artefacts dating back to the Romans provide unique entertainment for guests.

There are three captivating settings to choose from in this fairytale castle venue. Ceremonies are held in The Chapel (80 guests) with its romantic vaulted ceilings and stained-glass windows, or couples can climb the spiral staircase to the rooftop Secret Chapel (36 guests). This natural setting boasts a stone floor and glazed roof, allowing light to flood the space and providing breathtaking panoramic views.

The most popular area for wedding breakfasts is the Charles Gray Room (80 guests). An elegant space, it overlooks the public gallery. During the meal, The Chapel is transformed into a party space for 130 revellers with its excellent acoustics and white walls perfect for a light show.
