June/July 2021

 
Hello lovely readers and welcome to another issue of Your Herts and Beds Wedding. Firstly, I want to say congratulations on your engagement! In this magazine, you’ll find plenty of top tips, advice and wedding inspiration to make the planning experience more straightforward – we know how overwhelming this process can be without any help or guidance.

It’s no secret summer is a time of year perfect for weddings with colourful seasonal flowers and more daylight for those all-important photos. More outdoor spaces can be utilised with guests playing lawn games or having cocktails while soaking up the sun and enjoying clear skies!

It’s so important to find a wedding photographer that’s not only within budget, but creates a relaxed environment while documenting all the memorable moments for couples to treasure forever. Flick to our photography feature to discover beautiful images – you might even find the perfect photographer that matches your wedding style while you’re there!

If you’re at the start of your wedding journey, you’re in for a treat as we’ve gathered beautiful barn venues perfect for rusticstyle weddings on page 25. If you want your wedding featured in the magazine enter online here: www.yourhertsbeds.wedding/get-involved

Essendon Country Club

Situated in more than 400 acres of stunning Hertfordshire countryside, Essendon Country Club is the perfect venue for weddings. A dedicated wedding planner will support couples every step of the way to ensure they receive their dream day.

As guests enter the long driveway, they’ll travel through one of the two championship golf courses on-site, which offers a picturesque landscape for wedding photography. The large bridge across the lake, surrounded by woodland trees, is a firm favourite for the all-important couple shots.

The beautiful 16th-century Grand Barn contains oak framing, rustic features and large windows allowing plenty of natural daylight. There’s even a stunning terrace for drinks receptions where guests can enjoy the views and relax outside.

As no two weddings are the same, the venue offer flexibility and bespoke tailored packages to accommodate any ideas, requirements and style of wedding.

All areas at the venue are licensed for a ceremony, but the Grand Barn’s upper level is this main space that can accommodate 180 loved ones while the glass conservatory is the perfect option for intimate ceremonies with 15 to 30 people.

Receptions are held in the Main Barn with 130 seated guests and 300 for the evening celebrations. Many couples use the upper barn level for a seated wedding breakfast for 80 people.

From the 21st June, limits on wedding sizes lifted and couples across the country will be getting their wedding playlists ready, but what could be more important than the first dance song - especially for the next four weeks when this dance it the only one allowed!

Many couples know that whatever song they choose will go on to forever be known as 'their song', which adds pressure to making the right choice. It's perhaps then no surprise that there are almost 1,000 first-dance dedicated playlists on Spotify to help couples choose, but which songs are the most favoured?New data analysed by five-star hotel, The Grand, York has revealed the most popular songs to play during a first dance in 2021.Analysing over 57,000 songs on Spotify, the current top ten list has been revealed, and the results might just be surprising.Securing both first and third place is the hugely successful Ed Sheeran and taking second, is 2021 X Factor winner, James Arthur.
