About Hatfield House
Amidst the scenic Hertfordshire countryside, Hatfield House is an enchanting wedding venue. The grand Elizabethan Palace impresses with its stunning facade and sweeping driveway. Choose from elegant event spaces like the Long Gallery, adorned with 16th-century portraits, or the Marble Hall, featuring exquisite Italian marble. Accommodating up to 300 guests, Hatfield House caters to weddings of all sizes. Our dedicated wedding planners will meticulously guide you through every detail.
The beautiful Tudor Old Palace, built in 1485, was the childhood home of Elizabeth I. It's known for its medieval brickwork and original wood beams, immersing guests in history. The attached Knot Garden is perfect for picturesque wedding photos. The Raised Lawn offers stunning views of Hatfield House and is great for outdoor blessings, receptions, and games.
The Old Palace can accommodate large weddings with banqueting tables and has space for a DJ and dancefloor. The Riding School combines historic features with modern design and can be rented with the Old Palace. Both venues are licensed for civil ceremonies and offer free parking. Hatfield House is a popular filming location for movies like Lara Croft and Harry Potter, as well as TV shows like The Crown and Bridgerton.
