About Us
More Than a Venue.
A Place to Celebrate, Connect & Create Memories.
Emeralds is a private hire and events venue in the heart of Chelmsford, transforming effortlessly throughout the day.
By day, we're a welcoming coffee house, wine bar and family destination with a beautifully designed soft play area where little ones can play while parents relax with expertly crafted barista coffee, freshly prepared food and a carefully selected range of wines.
By night, Emeralds transforms into an exclusive private events venue, accommodating up to 150 guests in a stylish, spacious yet intimate setting.
