Make sure you choose the right wedding venue in Harlow

We all have a certain picture in our head of the perfect setting in which to tie the knot, and if you're anything like so many people seeking the perfect wedding venue in Harlow, it'll probably be much like the resplendent Manor of Groves hotel. Ours is the kind of venue that lovebirds tend to fall in love with straight away, its classy Georgian exterior only matched by the sheer elegance of our two distinguished wedding suites.

However, this begs the question: beyond what gets the pulse racing, what do you really want in a wedding venue in Harlow? There are a lot of practical issues that you will need to consider. You will need to ensure the venue's availability, for one thing, and that routinely means booking many months in advance of the intended date. Alternatively, you may adore a given venue so much that you are prepared to delay your ceremony until the next date it is available to book.

You will also somehow need to determine a likely minimum and maximum number of guests, and ensure that these can be accommodated at the venue you have in mind. Our own timeless, characterful and beautiful Colonnade Suite, for example, has space for as many as 120 guests at your wedding breakfast, and 150 for the evening reception.

Consider what kind of atmosphere you want for the reception - will it be intimate or bustling? Be careful in making your estimates - you won't want your nearest and dearest family and friends to be crammed into the venue, but nor is it desirable to book too commodious a wedding venue in Harlow for the intended guest list, as this won't make for a close atmosphere.

Manor of Groves is a wedding venue in Harlow catering for the complete range of practical needs, with various room styles and sizes to choose from, as well as - for those booking the Manor Suite - the services of our own specialty caterer. Our venue is licensed for civil ceremonies and offers guests not only complimentary parking including coach space, but also special bedroom rates.

Our seasoned wedding co-ordinators help to plan your wedding with us, and a dedicated manager will be available on the day. With all of the practicalities tended to, you can simply relax - relatively speaking! - and contemplate a happy day and many future years with your sweetheart.
