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. We are a venue with a heart and soul, not your traditional conveyor belt wedding venue. We are a health and wellbeing centre, offering complementary practices, yoga, pilates, counselling and a vegetarian Cafe. Then, we host weddings on our meadow from April until October.
We are licensed for civil ceremonies, choose from two large beautiful indoor halls, each with high ceilings and antique wooden floors that create a timeless, adaptable atmosphere. If you prefer an outdoor ceremony, the charming woodland 'Glade' provides a peaceful, whimsical, romantic setting surrounded by nature.
Known as a wonderful “blank canvas,” we invite you to bring your unique wedding vision to life. Whether your style is classic elegance, rustic charm, festival or something completely different, the adaptable spaces can be styled to match your theme perfectly. Each wedding here is totally different as we attract couples who reject the more mainstream, packaged weddings. We are champions of the 'experience' not the 'show' of a wedding day. Great venue, great food, great bar.
The catering team is ready to craft delicious menus using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We specialise in relaxed BBQs, that offer a variety of options. Add fun touches like hog roasts, Mediterranean mezze platters, or food trucks and ice-cream vans to make your day unique and memorable. With over fifteen years experience, we have a long list of recommended suppliers just waiting to help you curate your dream day.
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.
Get a great photographer...you won't regret it.
A flash mob style song during the speeches...oh and the time the couple played their electric guitars as a surprise instead of the first dance!
Relaxed, rustic, outdoors, peaceful, romantic
