Private Parties
Every celebration deserves a venue that's as special as the occasion itself.
At Emeralds, we believe every event should be effortless, unforgettable and completely personal.
From a baby's first birthday and children's parties to milestone birthdays, engagement parties, anniversaries, baby showers, gender reveals, christenings, wedding receptions, celebrations of life, corporate events, workshops and Christmas parties, Emeralds is one of Chelmsford's most versatile private hire venues.
Our stylish, contemporary venue accommodates up to 150 guests, offering a spacious yet intimate setting where everyone can celebrate together in one beautifully designed space. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a large celebration, no event is too big or too small.
With free venue hire available when your event meets our minimum spend, your budget goes towards what matters most, great food, drinks and creating unforgettable memories, rather than simply hiring the space. We can guarantee you will not find a more stunning venue available for free venue hire.
At Emeralds, every detail is taken care of. Every private hire booking includes your own dedicated Party Planner, who will work with you from your initial enquiry right through to the day of your event. From planning the layout and timings to coordinating suppliers, entertainment and catering, we'll ensure every element is perfectly organised, allowing you to relax, arrive and enjoy a completely stress-free celebration.
Our experienced in-house catering team can create the perfect menu for your event, whether you're looking for a relaxed party buffet with beautifully presented grazing boards and delicious hot party food, elegant canapés for a drinks reception or a beautifully prepared three-course sit-down meal. Every menu is tailored to suit your celebration, your guests and your budget.
No celebration is complete without exceptional drinks. Our fully stocked bar offers an extensive selection of wines, beers, premium spirits and handcrafted cocktails, while our expert Mixologist can create a bespoke cocktail menu designed exclusively for your event. Whether that's signature cocktails inspired by the happy couple, favourite drinks for a milestone birthday or a themed cocktail menu to complement your celebration.
Looking to add those extra special touches? We can organise DJs, professional balloon displays, light-up numbers, children's entertainers, princess character visits, magicians, K-Pop parties and themed entertainment, creating an event that's as unique as you are.
At Emeralds, we don't simply provide a venue, we create experiences.
Combining exceptional hospitality, outstanding food and drink, beautiful surroundings and meticulous attention to detail, we'll ensure your celebration is one your guests will remember for years to come.
