Micklefield Hall Winter Wedding – Last year ended up being a bumper wedding year (after a very difficult start!). My last wedding of 2021 was at lovely Micklefield Hall so there’s a nice symmetry to my first wedding of this year being there too! Micklefield Hall is an absolutely stunning Hertfordshire wedding venue in Sarratt, near Watford. The whole place is beautiful and the staff are the nicest people you could hope to meet, so I always recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue near London.
I met the gorgeous Eleanor whilst she was working at Micklefield Hall a few years back, so it was a real treat to see her again, but this time as a bride not a colleague. She got ready at her parents’ stunning farmhouse just outside the pretty Hertfordshire village of Aldbury. It was then a very quick drive (in a gorgeous vintage car…I’m not good at cars so I don’t know anything more specific than that it was old and cool!) down the road to St John the Baptist Church in Aldbury.
The wedding ceremony was beautiful, lead by a brilliant vicar. Any vicar who gives their couples a giant Toblerone to make a point about the ups and downs of marriage is pretty awesome in my book! The church was decorated with some of the prettiest flowers I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot!) – I loved the stunning bright spring blooms that Andrew Fleming created.
We then drove to Micklefield Hall for the wedding reception. As is always the case at Micklefield Hall, it was a fabulous wedding. Eleanor and Michael were so lucky with the weather. We’ve been having vicious storms and dreary drizzly days, but their wedding day was the perfect sunny winter’s day. I don’t photograph a lot of weddings in February but I’d love to do more if they were all like this one!
Kalm Kitchen were the incredible caterers. The food was all delicious, and it looked stunning too. The patisserie bar (a table loaded with mini puddings) looked amazing, and the guests loved the hot chocolate stand!
Huge congratulations Eleanor and Michael, and thanks to you and your families for making me feel so welcome.
