Overview

Hatfield House Weddings

Hatfield House built by Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Chief Minister to King James I in 1611, stands within its own Great Park and is currently home to the 7th Marquess of Salisbury.

This celebrated Jacobean House enjoys some of the finest  Gardens to be found in the country. Originally designed by John Tradescant the Elder, these beautiful gardens have been extensively restored over the last thirty years by the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury in a style that reflects their Jacobean history.

The Old Palace, the surviving wing containing the Great Hall of the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth I, and the Old Riding School, are both licensed for civil marriages and are popular choices for wedding ceremonies, receptions and private functions.
