Dear Claire,

We held our wedding reception at Saffron Walden Town Hall and would highly recommend it! We were able to use the Assembly Hall, Court room and Scrivener room which worked perfectly, allowing plenty of space for mingling and spreading out. The staff were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, including coordinating with our caterers and giving us access the day ahead and after to set up and collect decorations. Having our reception at the Town Hall allowed us the flexibility to create an event that was unique to us and that we could fill with our own personal touches. It was a fantastic day that we will treasure the memories of!
