5 excellent reasons to choose a historic wedding venue in 2019
Given the wealth of options that
today’s couples have for charming and practical wedding receptions in Hertfordshire and elsewhere in the country, it’s
easy to forget just how many boxes the county’s fine heritage venues tick as a
place to tie the knot.
Below, we take a look at some of
those advantages.
You’ve got plenty of choice
Few countries can boast the
formidable inheritance of endearing historic wedding venues that Britain can,
not least because we have such a great tradition of manor houses in this
country.
Our own Shendish Manor is an
excellent example of such a property, having been constructed in the mid-19th
century for Charles Longman, of the legendary publishing firm.
Truly delightful suites await you
In light of the original purpose of
the aforementioned manor house properties, it shouldn’t surprise you to hear
that historic venues like Shendish Manor offer some extremely prestigious
spaces lending themselves beautifully to a memorable wedding reception.
Our Manor House building itself is
home to the Longman suite, for instance, which exudes period elegance, is
suitable for as many as 96 guests for a wedding breakfast, and opens out onto
the grounds of the estate and the Dutch gardens.
Jaw-dropping outdoor spaces
Another great traditional feature of
the English country house is the parkland that customarily surrounds it.
Here at Shendish Manor, it was the
famous landscaper Edward Kemp who was employed to design the gardens. Today,
the 160 acres of parkland and formal gardens that make up our estate continue
to delight couples, their guests, photographers and videographers alike.
Some enticing money-off deals
You might not exactly associate
historic wedding venues with value for money, but many such venues do indeed
present couples looking to formalise their union with some very tempting
special offers.
After all, many of these venues –
like Shendish Manor – also serve as hotels and/or conference venues, so they
are accustomed to addressing the most specific requirements of even the most
demanding people wishing to hold an event there.
Right now, Shendish Manor is
advertising an especially alluring promotion to those interested in holding
their wedding receptions in Hertfordshire, with the £76-per-head price
including room hire, a three-course wedding breakfast, all tables, chairs,
glasses, cutlery and crockery, and so much more.
Historic wedding venues aren’t without their modern comforts and
conveniences
Thankfully, choosing a heritage
wedding venue in 2019 doesn’t have to mean accepting less-than-perfect
associated amenities and services, simply because the venue is an older one.
Shendish Manor demonstrates this
with its supremely well-appointed spaces, such as the air-conditioned and
adaptable Apsley Suite, as well as the experienced wedding coordinator that we
assign to each couple to assist with every element of planning their special
day.
