need your help lol, we were let down by one venue, gave us one price and we found out it would be twice what they said, so we are looking for somewhere else. Would any one happen to know any venues in/near hertfordshire? cheers
CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
depends on what sort of venue you are after, wedding licensed, reception, size etc etc.... There are quite a few.
CommentAuthorLlosa
just reception, between 120 to 150 people and we need a bar lol

Sopwell house, st michaels manor, tyttenhall house, hatfield house, knebworth house. There are tons of hotels (yellow pages :P) Theres a golf course to welwyn to avoid, the meal is £175 per head! lol

Ooh Hertford Castle is amazing, but it might not be big enough for your numbers
yer we looked at knebworth, we thought that might be pretty but its a little far out but thanks for the suggestions x
CommentAuthorMrs Turps (Nicpep)
Honestly, the best place to start - google "hertfordshire weddding venues" The results will send you to sites with a list with about 120 on there

CommentAuthorMrs Turps (Nicpep)
Can I ask which place it is? (Just because my best mate is choosing her venue now and I want to make sure she avoids it lol)

hertfordshire is a big county, where abouts are you wanting? Hatfield house is apparently nice. Also if you want more south / west herts i was at a reception at the bobsleigh in bovingdon and it was lovely, boxmoor lodge, little hay golf course (all around boxmoor and bovingdon). Whipsnade zoo do weddings, though quite pricey we thought, would depend on your budget. A number of community centers and rugby / golf/ football clubs also host receptions and have licensed bars. There are hotels, such as ramada which are dotted about all over the place.
We are having our wedding reception at a pretty villiage hall (pics on my albums) we are hiring a licensed bar there for the evening, but its very reasonably priced.

The grove in watford! lol beautiful place but yer big bill!!! the only reason we found out was i phoned to find out prices the lady gave me a price, then we checked out the pricing plan and it was double lol.so im guessing she was trying to pin us down to commit
CommentAuthorLlosa
Blondemumma is that in berkhamsted?
CommentAuthorKerrylmac
The grove is extortionate! I love it but didn 't even bother thinking about it as knew it wouldn't be in our price range. Do you live near Watford then? What sort of price per head were you thinking? I could try give you some ideas then x
CommentAuthorLlosa
yer i live in Watford and our parents are in tring so we were going to church in tring and then somewhere near watford.....i dunno, what we are expecting for the venue hire would be 6-7000 all in with venue and food....am i just being to hopeful to find a place that cheap? lol
CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
town hall in berkhamstead then potten end village hall. There are some lovely places around tring and berkhamstead, me and h2b looked around at a few. I would recommend you looking into hotels etc...
CommentAuthorKerrylmac
No I'm sure it can be done just not at The Grove! Lol. The Ramada hotels are within that price range, there is one in Watford & Hatfield. I don't really know Hertfordshire too well once pass Watford (I live in Harefield next to Rickmansworth) but you could have a look on google. That's what I did, I looked at loads to get prices & worked out which ones we could afford before we went a fell in love with any then viewed the ones in our price range x
