Venue Testimonials
Prested Hall is home to a beautiful house with lovely grounds... a great choice of venue for events and weddings in Colchester, Essex.
Andy B
We held our wedding here last week, and it was amazing. All the staff went above and beyond to make it the most special day. There was nothing we would change; every single thing was perfect. From exclusive use of the swimming pool for our wedding guests to the way our wedding breakfast table had been laid, everything was just perfect. The food, drink, staff, spa, rooms....we cannot fault anything.
