Situated in a field, the traditional three-pole marquee is the only one in Hertfordshire to have a hand-laid wooden floor. Inside, the blank canvas space allows lovebirds to decorate the interior to match any colour scheme or theme, and there’s a handmade rustic bar to complement the exterior mobile bar. Receptions occur within the marquee with relaxed areas in the garden for additional seating, games or street food vans. The venue’s package includes a luxury toilet block, power, bar staff and firepits for those chilly evenings. The team offers complete flexibility and allows couples to book any suppliers needed to create their dream day. We love… Couples have the added option for overnight camping along with their guests if desired on the wedding night. LOCAL VENUES 17
