Your Herts and Beds Wedding - April/May 2024 (Issue 103)

BROOK FARM 01707 872 450 | www.brookfarmcuffley.co.uk Brook Farm is an idyllic outdoor wedding venue outside London in the gorgeous Hertfordshire countryside. Celebrations are held adjacent to a beautiful lake with a walkway over to an island, giving the wow factor that everyone secretly wants on their big day. The surrounding grounds feature woodland and arable farmland, so guests can enjoy the tranquil views and soak up the beauty of having receptions in the great outdoors. There’s a thorough drainage system in the grass area where tents stand, which is the dream for al fresco weddings here in the UK. Couples will have exclusive use of the stunning location with a tipi, marquee or yurt of their choice. Blessings take place next to the lake at the Pine Tree Aisle, which offers a very natural but spectacular setting followed by drinks receptions on the island – a totally unique way to kick off celebrations! For those thinking about having church ceremonies, St Thomas a Beckett in Northaw is five minutes away! Couples without an existing connection with the Parish are welcome to marry here if certain criteria is met. The venue’s package includes all of the basic infrastructure needed. Upon booking, couples receive an electronic Guide To Planning Your Wedding at Brook Farm which is so helpful for DIY weddings and runs through all the key things couples will need. Pairs can also make their own unique notes within the guide and flick to and from topics using the handy navigation panel. The pairs choose their structure, caterer and decorations while the team organise the boring but essential bits like the luxury portable bathrooms, a reliable source of electricity that will meet power requirements, industrial rubbish bins, two security guards, a sound system, parking, coordination and on-the-day management. The team will liaise with lovebirds before weddings to understand all plans and offer a ‘two weeks to go’ meeting to review details. Access is granted two days before celebrations so there is plenty of time to set up, leaving lovebirds to kick back, relax and get excited ready for the day!
