About Hatfield Place

Hatfield Place is a stunning Georgian country wedding venue located on the South Western border of Hatfield Peverel village, outside Chelmsford, Essex. Nestled amongst wooded grounds, this Grade II listed house offers a perfect location overlooking a delightful walled garden. Beckoning atop a tree-lined driveway, this elegant property holds the promise of a lavish destination wedding as beautiful as its 15-acre oasis. Facilities and Capacity Hatfield Place is licensed to hold civil ceremonies in a gorgeous selection of pristine locations, including the iconic Walled Garden and Orangery. The jewel of the property, this verdant space is a harmonious meeting of traditional English country style with chic, modern architecture. Landscaped over three tiers, the garden features a pretty oak pergola where you can exchange vows amid the scents of rose and blossom trees. Overlooking this enchanting area, the Orangery delivers rustic charm in abundance with its natural wood floors and part exposed brick. In this airy setting, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows, you can host a memorable wedding breakfast and evening reception for up to 200 guests. Tucked away from the main house, this magical setting ensures complete privacy and exclusivity for your entire wedding event. Elsewhere, a range of versatile spaces awaits within the stately home's grand interiors, each furnished in a contemporary yet graceful style. Services Offered Hatfield Place offers a selection of beautifully furnished guest rooms where loved ones can indulge themselves in the height of luxury. Meanwhile, you will have the plush Bridal Coach House as your own private newlywed retreat. You can choose from three premium suppliers for your wedding catering, each offering a sumptuous selection of menus covering canapes, sharing platters, and barbeques.
