15 A distinctive historic backdrop offering elegance, character and natural charm The beautiful Hertford Castle is a historic Grade I listed building set in the heart of Hertfordshire. From small, intimate gatherings to larger, formal ceremonies, it offers a truly unique setting where rich history and heritage meet timeless elegance. Surrounded by its natural landscape, the Castle sits beside reflective waters that once formed its moat, while ancient trees create enchanting, arched walkways. Couples and guests can explore the romantic rose garden and sweeping formal lawn, enclosed by original stone and flint battlement walls, creating an idyllic backdrop for unforgettable photographs. EXCHANGING VOW Beyond the grand oak doors, the stately Gatehouse provides a striking setting for civil ceremonies. With exclusive hire of the Downshire Suite, couples can choose from a selection of elegant rooms in which to exchange vows and celebrate with loved ones. The Salisbury Room, renowned for its rich colour palette and sparkling chandeliers, is ideal for larger, more formal ceremonies and can accommodate up to 60 guests. For smaller celebrations, the Mayor’s Parlour offers traditional Georgian elegance, complete with a grand fireplace and period sash windows overlooking the manicured gardens. Alternatively, The Victorian glass Conservatory provides a light-filled, relaxed setting for standing ceremonies of up to 20 guests and also lends itself beautifully to drinks receptions.
