MAYFLOWER PLACE WEDDINGS
Hidden gem, Mayflower Place is a stunning Grade II listed hall located just outside Hertford, tucked away in the village of Hertingfordbury. Already established as a beautiful venue for wedding receptions and events, it has been recently licenced for wedding ceremonies in the grand oak-panelled hall, or overlooking the sweeping Hertfordshire countryside.


MAYFLOWER PLACE
IN THEIR WORDS
"The recently redecorated Mayflower Place is a stunning Grade II listed hall in the village of Hertingfordbury in Hertfordshire.
Built in 1910 by the Cowper Family, Mayflower place has a long history from serving the locals as a village hall to being a training ground for the Home-guard."



Getting Ready
at Mayflower Place
There is a beautiful, well appointed and bright bedroom, bathroom and living room with kitchenette upstairs, with large windows for lots of natural light, providing a beautiful space for you and your bridal party to get ready.
When you're getting ready, you'll want the best light. This is usually next to the windows, but hair and make-up professionals usually bring their own ring lights.
If you're planning to have a 'first look' in the room, this may take a little planning. There can often be quite a lot of people in the room if several bridesmaids or parents are getting made up, so there could also be quite a bit of clutter. A first look photo will always look better in a bright, clutter-free room, so please try and tidy up as you go. hiding away discarded clothing and empty food packaging and dirty dishes.

WHERE CAN YOU GET MARRIED?
Memorial Hall
The Hall is a beautiful oak-panelled room with high, beamed ceiling and large windows and can hold up to 120 guests for your wedding ceremony.
Outdoor Ceremony
You can also choose to get married outside with a backdrop of beautiful Hertfordshire countryside.

Your Wedding Reception
at Mayflower Place
After the ceremony, there is usually a period free time before the wedding breakfast is served. This is the perfect time to chat to your guests and enjoy a drink and perhaps some of Mayflower Place's delicious canapes. This is also the perfect time to grab a few group shots and couple photos if you want them!
Mayflower Place has a large garden to enjoy in good weather. Serve your drinks and canapes outside and play games on the lawn. There are picnic tables dotted around and some shady areas for guests. There is a cosy bar area inside too.
GROUP PHOTOS
There are lots of lovely options for beautiful portrait photos at Mayflower Place. While I am mostly a documentary-style photographer - capturing candid moments as the day unfolds - you are likely to still want a few group shots and couple portraits. Most people choose to book me for my relaxed style, so I aim to get these more formal photos done as quickly and efficiently as possible as having lots of this type of shot alters the dynamic of the day as you'll be able to spend less time with your family and friends.
