Welcome

Ceremonies at Brocket Hall

An 18th century stately home near Welwyn with three wedding locations on one Hertfordshire estate, set around Broadwater Lake and Paine Bridge

The estate has an indoor ceremony setting and an outdoor ceremony setting, and a ceremony takes up to 150 guests. The Hall, the Oak Room and Auberge du Lac are the three locations the estate offers for a wedding, and the choice between them decides the setting for the vows.

Receptions

Wedding breakfasts and receptions

The Ballroom is used for the wedding breakfast, and the Hall also has dining and function rooms. The Oak Room at The Melbourne Club is an oak-beamed room with views and private dining facilities. The Piano Lounge suits a more intimate wedding. For larger guest lists, couples may hire the grounds and arrange their own marquee through an external supplier.
