Description
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines natural beauty with flexible, elegant spaces, The Letchworth Centre is a fantastic choice. Located between Letchworth and Hitchin in Hertfordshire, this venue sits on eight and a half acres of peaceful greenbelt, offering a stunning backdrop for weddings both intimate and grand.
Ceremony and Reception Spaces
The Letchworth Centre is licensed for civil ceremonies and gives you plenty of options to say “I do.” Choose from three beautifully neutral indoor halls, each with high ceilings and wooden floors that create a timeless, adaptable atmosphere. If you prefer an outdoor ceremony, the charming woodland area provides a romantic setting surrounded by nature.
One of the venue’s standout features is the Garden Room, which opens through double doors onto a large decking area overlooking a picturesque meadow. This space is perfect for tipi or marquee receptions, letting you and your guests enjoy the fresh air and scenic views throughout your celebration.
A Flexible Wedding Venue Tailored to You
Known as a wonderful “blank canvas,” The Letchworth Centre invites you to bring your unique wedding vision to life. Whether your style is classic elegance, rustic charm, or something completely different, the adaptable spaces can be styled to match your theme perfectly.
The catering team is ready to craft delicious menus using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From formal sit-down dinners to casual buffets or relaxed BBQs, they offer a variety of options. You can even add fun touches like hog roasts, Mediterranean mezze platters, or a retro ice-cream van to make your day truly memorable.

- SSue and Jason06/06/2018ThanksThanksI really can't thank you enough for all your help leading up to the wedding. I was so grateful for your advice but also really happy not to feel any pressure at any point leading up to the day, just support. And of course everything you did on the day! You interpreted my last minute scribbles perfectly and everything looked just as I imagined it - better in fact! The day ran so smoothly thanks to your organisation but mainly I am just so grateful for your air of relaxed authority and absolute calm. 😊 Everyone said how well things were managed with no fuss, just amazing service - from everyone, your bar staff were awesome - and lots of friendly smiles. It really does make the whole day when everyone is so lovely! Absolutely, we have just received our professional shots so will pick some good ones and ones that show off the venue and send them to you. Also, feel free to add me on Facebook as we had some pretty good amateur photographers too and we're happy for you to use those shots. Haha! That pic on instagram is great - I love that you call me elegant and beautiful but I am pulling THE worst face! Thanks anyway though!! 😊 So I'll get back to you will some photos, please remind me if I haven't sent them within a couple of weeks! And just all the thanks in the world again, the venue is beautiful with so many wonderful features but we felt you and your team really made it extra special on the day.

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
This is impossible as all of them have been amazing. Some highlights are the wedding that said wanted to declare their vows whilst jumping on a bouncy castle (!) and the bride that arrived on her dads tractor...then there was the wedding where the bride and I saw some deer just before she walked down the aisle...then the lovely wedding where the mother of the bride sang a song to her during the speeches..it was beautiful. I could absolutely go on. So many special moments.
