The staff were all just fabulous!
Had the pleasure of visiting Offley Place for a family wedding at the start of Oct 2024 and wow, what a venue with such beautiful grounds! The building itself is magnificent, the food was spectacular and the staff were all just fabulous! A perfect place for a perfect celebration.

We had a great time!
Visited here to attend a family wedding. The venue is a full facilities location approved for holding civil service (registrar) weddings. It is based upon an old english estate/manor house, but has been updated with an orangery for the service, and a large function room for the wedding breakfast and reception, both of which are modern in their design, which contrasts well with the original house. There are extensive grounds, plenty of parking as well as several sets of toilets etc (inc disabled)

Theres no surprise why Offley Place is so popular
There is no surprise why Offley Place is so popular with weddings and why it became one of the most popular venues for Asian Weddings more recently. This venue is so beautiful. I have photographed numerous weddings at Offley and as a photographer always happy to go back. The place has various rooms, the ballroom has plenty of natural light. The grounds allow for an outdoor ceremony. I simply love it. Highly recommend. Staff of course if friendly , helpful and professional.

Offley Place is an exceptional wedding venue that beautifully blends historic charm with modern elegance.

The staff where incredibly professional! The venue’s capacity to host both intimate and large gatherings makes it versatile for any celebration.

An absolutely stunning wedding venue
Offley Place is an absolutely stunning wedding venue in Hertfordshire! The gorgeous manor house including a stunning conservatory created the perfect setting for our special day. The staff (especially Charlotte and Louise) went above and beyond, making everything seamless and unforgettable. We would definitely recommend it as a venue.

Best wedding venue for segregated muslim weddings
We had our son's wedding at Offley place in June 2024. It is a wonderful venue with beautiful indoors & outdoors. The Hester ballroom was used for the women & the conservatory, for the men. The beautiful outdoors was also a place for our guests to enjoy the lawn games, ice cream van & wedding illustrations. There were separate prayer facilities & the beautiful rose garden was perfect for photoshoots. The guests really enjoyed the day, many of them admired the venue and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Many said this was the best islamic wedding they’ve ever been to, maintaining the modesty yet enjoying the day. Charlotte was great throughout the process with an excellent knowledge of Pakistani weddings & brilliant communication. She would go an extra mile to accommodate our needs. The location is great, quite close to a busy town yet so peaceful, a real hidden gem. We would forever cherish the beautiful memories made at Offley place & cannot thank Charlotte enough who helped us make this day extra special.
Response from the venue

The most beautiful wedding venue!
Offley Place is the most perfect venue to get married in. The red brick walls, the glass ceilings and the gorgeous chandeliers added so much character to our wedding photos! Having both the Conservatory and the Hester Ballroom available, we were able to have several events throughout the day, making each one unique in entirely new spaces. The team are Offley are ever so helpful, and Charlotte, who was our Event Manager, is so knowledgable with great ideas. She was always there to support us in our vision and always promptly replying to all the hundreds of emails we sent over the year. We wish could do it all over again at our dream venue, it was simply magical. I'd recommend all future brides and grooms to highly consider Offley Place as their wedding venue.

We had the best day ever and all our guests loved the venue and it's gorgeous grounds. The bridal suite was just the perfect spot for me to get ready in with all my family and bridesmaids around me. We were able to really create the best memories. Charlotte you were awesome in helping us navigate around planning the wedding. Your attention to detail and ability to problem solve are very commendable! We and our guests also absolutely loved all the bedrooms and our breakfast was really delicious!
