Spotlight on...The Brocket Hall Estate, Hertfordshire






We have so many beautiful venues in our directory that it can be difficult to single one out. We’re not complaining, but with so many different locations, buildings and packages to choose from, we’re not always sure that we’re up to the task.

That being said, we couldn’t get to the end of 2015 without telling you about The Brocket Hall Estate in Hertfordshire. 

This licensed venue is set within 543 acres of parkland and has been home to two former British Prime Ministers.





Even better, it’s not too late to pre-register for a place at Brocket Hall’s wedding fayre on December 10th.

We'd highly recommend, too, that you visit the Brocket Hall Estate website; the photography of this venue is absolutely stunning (we're not kidding, click the link). 

Here’s what the venue has to say about itself on our directory, and we think you’ll agree that it makes for the perfect first step into married life.

A licensed civil wedding venue set in 543 acres of stunning parkland, we offer three locations to suit the scale of your celebrations and the size of your guest list perfectly.  

Brocket Hall

Set within 543 acres of landscaped grounds, few properties in England can claim to have been the home to two prime ministers, played host to George IV, Queen Victoria and the infamous Lady Caroline Lamb who introduced the Waltz to England in the Ballroom - which can seat from 50 - 150 guests for your wedding breakfast. The Ballroom is sumptuously decorated with fine paintings, including the stunning ceiling painted by Sir Francis Wheatley. Your special day would include the unique service of our Head Butler and his team. The Boardroom can accommodate your evening reception of up to 200 guests.

Auberge du Lac

Formerly, the 17th Century hunting lodge for the Estate is now a unique, tranquil waterside restaurant. The restaurant is offered on an exclusive use basis for your wedding, the nature of exclusive use ensures there will be no other dining taking place on your chosen day, allowing yourself, family, colleagues and guests the privacy of Hertfordshire’s award-winning restaurant.
