Wedding Venues

The choice of venue is for you as bride and groom to experience the kind of event which makes you day. 
​

We have worked at many venues over the years. The key to making a success of the venue is to know in advance what it has available - and what it does not have. Not all are blessed with simple conveniences such as "running water". Many have problems with electricity - as sometimes there is none. Some do not even have a recognisable kitchen or cooking area. Once we can plan ahead then everything - anywhere - will go off well.

We offer a limited selection of the venues we have worked in over the years. They present a cross section of choices which may stimulate your ideas and interest. 

Marquees

As a general starting point Marquees do make an excellent venue.
​You can create them where you want.
They can be a feature in themselves as a standalone.
​They can be an attachment to your home.
Or they can be added to an existing venue to provide more space.

​
We have catered for many weddings held in Marquees.
They have become one of our most frequent and popular venues.
You could say we specialise in them.


They present some distinctive challenges but on a warm Summer's day
​they do prove to be a delightful venue for any wedding.

The Victoria Hall, Tring, Hertfordshire
