Picking your perfect venue is a big decision, and it can be so hard to sort through all the venues you've seen. Sometimes it feels like they all just blur into one!
But the key things you need to know for each venue can really help you rule options out, so you're left with a nice shortlist with all the places that are perfect for tying the knot.
With that in mind, I've put together a little list of all my favourite wedding and reception venues in Hertfordshire, each with a breakdown of the most important things you need to know, from capacity to what type of venue it is.
The venues in my favourite list are:
I hope this makes life a little easier, and helps you find your dream Hertfordshire wedding venue!
