General Information
The beautiful panelled and painted rooms of the Town Hall Centre are one of Braintree’s best kept secrets! Now licensed for weddings, the Council Chamber can seat up to 80 on original leather chairs.
The Chairman’s Room is also licensed for small ceremonies of up to 20 people.
The downstairs Room 1 is the ideal place for your private interview with the Registrar and is licensed for very private ceremonies with Bride, Groom and Witnesses.
The Lounge can be used by the Bride for her “last minute” preparations, with full length mirror, comfortable seating etc.
The ‘secret’ door between the Chairman’s Room and Council Chamber makes for a dramatic entrance for the Bride.
The Art Gallery can accommodate up to 80 for drinks and canapés for a post ceremony toast prior to guests leaving for their chosen reception venue.
A special feature of the Town Hall Centre is that it is five minutes walk from the Railway Station, has its own car park which can be reserved for guests and is next door to a public pay and display car park which is free after 6.00pm.
The beautiful stained glass window and grand staircase are perfect for memorable photographs.
