About The Grove, Watford
Tucked away in 300 acres of Hertfordshire countryside, just 20 minutes from London, The Grove is a vibrant five-star resort with a difference. 214 stylish rooms and individually designed suites blend modern luxury with the charm and character of the estate’s 18th-century heritage.
The Grove features a selection of licensed venues for civil or religious ceremonies. From the spacious Amber Suite, ideal for larger gatherings, to more private, elegant rooms, every space can be tailored to your personal style and wedding vision.
Couples benefit from a dedicated team of wedding specialists who oversee every detail, from bespoke menus to tailored décor and styling. The in-house catering team creates seasonal, personalised menus designed to delight every guest, including those with specific dietary requirements.
Make your wedding weekend truly special with luxurious on-site accommodation for you and your guests, and capture unforgettable moments throughout the estate from beautifully landscaped gardens to striking architectural features. With its combination of elegance, flexibility, and attentive service, The Grove is one of Hertfordshire’s most sought-after wedding destinations.
From the award-winning Sequoia Spa and championship golf course to distinctive restaurants and bars – including the renowned buffet restaurant, The Glasshouse – there’s plenty to discover. Step outside and you’ll find woodland trails to wander, alongside a host of activities for all ages, from archery and axe-throwing, to bike rides and musical trails for little ones. In the summer months, the Walled Garden lies at the heart of it all. Home to the newly-refurbished Ralph’s Beach, a heated outdoor pool, and a Kitchen Garden which provides fresh produce for the chefs. Packed with personality and just far enough from the city to feel like a true escape, The Grove is the kind of place you’ll want to return to. Days here are designed to be unhurried and joy-filled, with space to connect, celebrate or simply switch off.
