Exchange vows at Offley Place in Hertfordshire

Offley Place in winter

With many years of experience planning and running weddings, the specialised team will ensure that dream events become realities. Whether lovebirds decide on intimate services or grand events, the team has the perfect package. 

The 27-acre parkland estate is ideal for celebrations throughout the seasons, with various indoor and outdoor spaces licensed for civil ceremonies. The staff are always on hand to ensure that even the smallest details are never overlooked. What is a more perfect getting-ready space than the Rose View Suite? With stunning views across the Rose Garden and ample dressing and make-up space, this location has everything needed for brides to relax, sip on bubbles and slip into the dress alongside their best girls! The Hester Ballroom is the largest event space, accommodating up to 250 people. It features numerous glittering chandeliers, stage space for entertainment vendors and a bar. The space is perfect for the largest weddings, providing ample dancing space. 

The Conservatory accommodates up to 120 guests in a stunning, rustic orangery. Perfect for ceremonies (or even intimate receptions), the exposed brick walls create a lovely, homely vibe, and the sage green accents perfectly complement many colour schemes. The Salusbury Lounge is set in a warm mahogany colour, with cosy furniture and a fire place for those chilly winter days. The bright Hughes lounge is all shades of summer and excellent for when guests need a little rest from all the dancing! A truly unique space that makes for the most romantic of moments is the Rose Garden, in bloom all year with varying-coloured flowers. Come rain or shine; this space makes the best photo backdrop. 

The venue’s Exclusive Package offers private use of the manor house and the entirety of the parkland of Offley Place. Curate weddings across the Manor House and Hester Ballroom, offering a transition between ceremonies and wedding breakfasts. With all 16 luxurious bedrooms allocated, guests truly take over this historic manor for the day.
