Venue Testimonials
I attended Hatfield House in Hertfordshire for a wedding, and it is just so beautiful. The gardens are beautiful, and the food was some of the best I've ever tasted :) Highly recommend!
Hayley C
Incredible place. We went to a banquet in the wedding venue space, and the staff were absolutely brilliant. The venue itself was impressive with floor-to-ceiling tapestries and impressive vaulted ceilings. The rest of the buildings and gardens looked amazing.
