Hole in one Tie the knot at these sporting venues ESSENDON COUNTRY CLUB 01707 280 373 | www.essendonweddings.co.uk Situated in more than 400 acres of stunning Hertfordshire countryside, Essendon Country Club is the perfect location for weddings. The venue’s dedicated wedding planner will support couples every step of the way to ensure they receive their dream day. As guests enter the long driveway, they’ll travel through one of the two championship golf courses on-site, which offer a picturesque landscape for wedding photography. The large bridge across the lake is a firm favourite for those all-important couple shots. The beautiful 16th-century Grand Barn contains oak framing, rustic features and large windows that provide plenty of natural daylight. There’s even a stunning terrace for drinks reception where guests can relax outside while enjoying the views. As no two weddings are the same, the venue offers flexible and bespoke tailored packages to accommodate any ideas, requirements and wedding themes. All areas at the property are licensed for ceremonies, including the glass conservatory that’s the perfect option for intimate nuptials with 15 to 30 people. Or why not opt for the Grand Barn’s upper level? This main space can accommodate 180 loved ones for the “I dos” and 80 for wedding breakfasts. Continue the celebrations in the main barn with 130 seated guests and 300 for the evenings. When couples book the venue for their wedding, they receive a complimentary food and wine tasting session and a free pre-wedding shoot on the grounds. SPORTING VENUES 25
