Facilities and Capacity

Your Ceremony

Broadfield has five acres of stunning gardens in the midst of a private estate, so couples often choose to immerse themselves in their surroundings with an outdoor wedding. The rose garden, woodland, orchard or lawns are all beautiful locations to marry, with weddings from two to 175 able to take place. For an indoor wedding, the wood panelled dining room with its huge stone fireplace can seat up to 60, with the sun-filled inner hall seating up to 50. For larger numbers, Broadfield's new fold yard hexagonal marquee structure can seat up to 150. Either with just its high, flag-topped roof, or with its walls enclosing your guests for bad weather days, the fold yard is a captivating garden room style space.

Your Drinks Reception

At Broadfield, the terrace and rose garden are the perfect place for drinks and canapes, but couples can choose anywhere they wish, from the vineyard to the lawns to the orchard. For bad weather or winter weddings, the house is ideal with its open fires and elegant interiors.

Your Wedding Breakfast and Reception

For intimate weddings of up to 50, Broadfield's dining room is a beautiful space. For up to around 90, Broadfield's fold yard structure creates an outdoor feel with its sides removed, or a cosy indoor space with its walls on, even in chilier months. For over that number or for those wanting a different space, a tipi or marquee over-looking the gorgeous Herefordshire countryside is ideal, accommodating up to 175 guests comfortably and can be chosen from any supplier to suit your style and budget. Broadfield's seperate beautiful rustic bar building is included in the exclusive hire, situated between the fold yard and back lawns, and is fully stocked for your day including with Broadfield's own sparkling wine, cider and apple juice.

Your Stay

Broadfield has eight delightful bedrooms for your wedding party or guests to stay in comfortable and elegant surroundings. One of these bedrooms is an stylish suite, complete with a dressing room perfect for you and your party to get ready. Or if you need another bedroom, the team can convert that room into a ninth bedroom for guests. They are also able to provide put up beds and cots if needed. The team can also recommend trusted caterers who can provide delicious, locally sourced food to your house guests or you can self cater. The Broadfield Coach House is less than a minute's stroll from the main house and is available to hire by couples or guests, with three more bedrooms, meaning the whole venue can sleep up to 31 people.

Catering

At Broadfield, you can choose any caterer you wish, with the catering kitchen included in your hire. Anything from fine dining to streetfood to big pan dishes - it is the couples' choice. Of course, the team have lots of recommendations for excellent caterers who will create delicious food for your big day, so you don't need to start from scratch. You may also purchase alcohol from the venue's carefully chosen list, or you can supply your own with corkage applied, and the venue open the bar from any time for guests to buy their own drinks.

Planning

Broadfield offer planning as part of your hire. From your first viewing until the big day and beyond, the Broadfield team will be with you every step of the way. You will have numerous planning meetings, be invited to open days, and have your own dedicated planner to help with everything from suppliers and timings to those last, all important details.

Perfection!!

As soon as we saw Broadfield and met Fran and the team we knew it was where we had to get married! Not only is Broadfield BEAUTIFUL but the flexibility you get to create the wedding of your dreams is unmatched. Broadfield is truly unique and the individuality it allows puts it in its own league!

Fran, Alex, and team are absolutely INCREDIBLE! Nothing is too much trouble, the communication and organisation is unreal and it made the whole planning process an absolute dream. Everyone asked if we were stressed during wedding planning… there is nothing to be stressed about when you’re supported so fantastically by an amazing group of people! A truly special and unique experience, we are sad our time with Broadfield has come to an end but we will be back!! (Another perk you can book Broadfield for a stay any time or the year!)

Run don’t walk, you’d be silly to miss out on this one!

We can’t thank Broadfield enough,

Amazing Wedding Venue

From the moment we set foot in Broadfield we fell in love with it. There were so many beautiful areas to explore – the woodland, rose garden, fold yard, main house and the coach house. All of our guests loved the house and gardens, and everyone staying felt so comfortable and special with their unique bedroom.

Helen was very knowledgeable and experienced, keeping in touch regularly ensuring that we had everything planned. The entire family helped to make our special day run seamlessly and were so friendly and wonderful to be around. Nothing was too much trouble!

Broadfield is the perfect venue for any and every occasion, beautiful and special, yet homely. We were only sad when we had to leave! We will definitely be back one day, for one reason or another.

Exceptional Venue - The Perfect Day

For the care and attention that was shown to us from the moment of first contact, to the big day itself, we cannot express enough gratitude to Fran and Alex for their support in making sure our wedding day everything we had dreamed of.

In our opinion, Broadfield is the perfect wedding venue! Set in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and views for miles, with a stunning house both inside and out, guests can’t help but be impressed. The grounds are simply beautiful, and varied – meaning the opportunity for photos is endless.

For us, one of the main attractions was the ability to extend the celebrations over the entirety of the weekend, and with many of our guests able to stay on site, it meant we could enjoy their company and the venue to the fullest. It really is your own paradise for the weekend with no sense of being rushed out for another wedding to take place.

Although daunting, the planning was seamless with Fran’s support. Her knowledge and relationships with the best suppliers mean at every point of contact you hear how glad they are to be supplying to a Broadfield wedding – more often than not letting us know it is their favourite venue to work with. You have the ability to make the day exactly what you want and Fran is on hand to make sure it happens, offering her excellent advice when you need it!

Being a family run business really sets Broadfield apart from the rest, and the thoughtfulness, kindness and experience that this family has really shines through, you feel like they are friends for life! Above and beyond doesn’t do them justice, you will be in the safest of hands.

A couple of months have passed now, and our friends and family are still talking about the big day – we’ve heard that it is the best wedding people have been to regularly – and we might be a little biased but we have to agree!

Thank you Fran, Alex and the Broadfield Family – our best day ever and memories for life. Broadfield will always be special to us and we can’t wait to come and visit!

Most incredible venue

Before we were even engaged, we fell in love with Broadfield Court and knew when our time came it just had to be here. Frances and her whole family become like a second family and as soon as we met them, we knew we had chosen the right place. Frances is just the most incredible support with a wealth of experience, expertise and guidance. The whole planning process was a dream.

When our wedding finally came, Frances was on hand at all times and their beautiful home became ours for the weekend. All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of the building and grounds. Despite a rainy start to the day, Frances had plan A, B and C all sorted and I was so relaxed all day and luckily it turned into the most beautiful day. The day ran so smoothly and this was all down to the hardworking team we had. The ability to spend all weekend here is what makes Broadfield so unique and special and we will always cherish the moments we shared here with our closest friends and family.

All of the team and local suppliers were fantastic to work with and so professional but also lots of fun. It really does feel like one big family. Thank you to all involved with our wedding.

A truly exceptional venue in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside

We can't shout enough praise about Broadfield Court, Fran and Alex! The property itself is stunning; we’re an outdoorsy couple who were looking for somewhere to represent our passion for woodland, flowers and the countryside and after searching all over Herefordshire, nothing else came close to the natural beauty and warmth of Broadfield. Their grounds have it all; vineyard, orchard trees, rolling hills, rose gardens and forest!

We were even lucky enough with the weather (only just!) to hold our wedding ceremony in their magical woodland area, and Fran went above and beyond to make it happen. Despite a rainy morning, she coordinated everything seamlessly —moving stacks of chairs and making sure every detail was perfect right up until I walked down the aisle.

One of the greatest perks of choosing Broadfield Court is Fran and Alex themselves. From start to finish, they supported us checking in regularly and ensuring we had access to brilliant local suppliers - from coaches to hotels to saxophonists they knew the person for any creative vision. We even extended our stay to spend a third night there, hosting a Sunday family sports day on the lawn with those stunning views of the rolling hills—it truly felt like a fairytale weekend. The dining room was also perfect for a Friday family and bridal party buffet and the rooms were spotlessly clean.

Fran’s attention to detail kept everything running smoothly, putting our minds completely at ease. The fact that our dog could join in the celebrations (with Fran even stopping him from sneaking some fruit cake!) just shows how thoughtful and accommodating they are. Broadfield Court also provided ample space for our bridal party to stay - we loved the addition of the coach house - making it feel like the best, most joyful sleepover ever.

Thank you, Fran and Alex, for making us feel like royalty, knowing when to step back discreetly and when to be hands on, and for creating a magical space where we could celebrate our entire wedding weekend. Broadfield Court is truly special, and we couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to have kicked off our married life.

Once In A Lifetime Experience

How absolutely wonderful was our experience with the team at Broadfield? One word: exceptional. Fran and Alex, right from the very beginning when we showed initial interest, were to hand to help us with every decision. From inviting us to one of their many wedding events, where you can meet suppliers and see some of the teepees and decoration setup, to the final "I do" and the checking out briefing. Fran was our Planner, and was so understanding and reassuring - helping you to, not only, choose everything you wanted, but to also save a little bit here and there for the bits that weren't really needed. They have a wealth of trusted suppliers to choose from, but are also open to you bringing some in. And even when you decide to ball it all up and start again, well thats okay with Fran too. In short: the team are on it! I was really nervous about planning a wedding, thinking I was never going to manage it without suffering some sort of breakdown, but Fran kept us buoyant and literally took all the hassle out of it. She was patient, kind and empathetic - I think shes probably seen it all before! And the rest of the team, its a family business, really welcomed you in as if you were one of their own.
he house itself is beautiful, with rolling landscape behind the breathtaking gardens, and a forest glade that makes you feel as though you're getting married amongst magic. And when the lights go down, and the guests are free to wander, the whole thing felt like an event, rather than a party.
People are still coming up to me now, and telling me it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and even our international friends, said they kept referring back to the pictures of Broadfield on their website, unable to let the place go and accept that it was all over.
We feel so honoured to be part of Broadfields legacy, and we hope that we continue to share that bond long into the future.
You cannot go wrong with Broadfield, it is a magical place with a team who will go the extra mile, even a few further, to make yours as special as one of their own.
Thanks so much to Fran, Alex and the team.

Our perfect woodland wedding

We had the most perfect wedding at Broadfield in July. Initially we fell in love with the gorgeous grounds which included the woodland, rose garden and many other spaces with gorgeous views all around. The house then offered many rooms which were decorated so tastefully and we thought it would suit all of our family (children and dogs included!).
When looking round Frances, Alex and the team were so helpful, welcoming and knowledgeable. They were also laid back and were able to create our own individual wedding. After looking round many venues, all of these points was the reason why we both immediately knew it was the venue for us.
The lead up to the wedding was smooth and organised. Frances and the team were there when we needed and Frances was able to share some great recommendations, we really knew we were in the best hands. We also loved the two open days, which made us super excited for the big day!
When it got to the weekend of the wedding, we arrived the Friday and could relax and set up with out nearest and dearest. Frances had organised suppliers to come when needed so and had been in touch with them, taking any extra stress of our hands. The big day came and Frances and the team ran everything so smoothly. We enjoyed every second and every one of our guests were blown away. It was really lovely having somewhere so unique and special.
We both 100% recommend having your wedding at Broadfield, it really was our perfect day.

Incredible personalised venue

We can’t recommend Broadfield enough, and are so happy we chose it as our wedding venue. You can really personalise your wedding, because you’re able to choose all of your own suppliers. Broadfield itself is absolutely stunning, both in terms of the Manor House and the gorgeous grounds too. It lends itself to any sort of wedding you like, to match your personality - from a woodland wedding, to a rose garden wedding or vows in front of a roaring fire - the list is endless! Mostly though, the owners couldn’t be more helpful, kind and understanding. We got to know them well, and could pick their brains on anything knowing they had so much experience - this further lends itself to making the day itself even more perfect and personal.
We loved the venue so much and can’t wait to return one day!

Professional and welcoming

We first went to a wedding fayre at Broadfield. From that first visit, we felt that it was going to be our place to get married. Fran, Helen, Alex and John have been overseeing our journey over 18 months. Leading up to the day, we had various visits to fine tune exactly what we wanted and Helen kept our wedding planner updated on a regular basis. To have the day before the wedding with close family & friends staying the night, was great and everyone that stayed enjoyed it. There are a few different places outside to get married and we settled for the rose garden. Except for a rain shower just as the bride was to make her appearance, the day could not have gone better. Everyone that attended, mentioned how fantastic the venue was. The staff were also very attentive throughout the day. From the start of our journey to leaving the day after, we have felt that we have been listened to and guided throughout the whole process. We will have endless memories to look back on and thank the Broadfield family, from the bottom of our hearts for such a magical time. #friendsfor life.

Stunning venue and amazing staff

Broadfield is a very special place and I couldn’t recommend it enough as a wedding venue. One of the wonderful things about it is that there are so many beautiful areas to get married, have your reception drinks or your wedding breakfast, that I imagine that no two weddings they host there are ever the same. The other wonderful thing is the staff. It’s run by a family whose care, attention, passion and hard work makes you feel like you’re the only couple they’re working with. The team they have working for them were all fantastic too.

We chose the venue because we wanted a marquee reception but also wanted accommodation and plenty of contingency plans so we didn’t need to worry about the weather. With spacious rooms downstairs in the house as well as a cosy bar area, your guests would still have a lovely time exploring the venue, even if you did have a rainy day. We were lucky and had sun and it was gorgeous. We got married in the fold yard and there were bees and butterflies busy in the lavender behind us. Our guests and us were in English countryside heaven for the weekend and will be thinking of an excuse to return at some point. Our only regret is not convincing the owners to let us stay the Sunday night too so we could have really savoured it.

It’s a stunning venue and you feel like you’re giving your guests a real treat. You also get a really professional, attentive and thorough coordinator who is with you every step during the planning stages.

Their recommended suppliers list is extensive and I would definitely trust and recommendation they gave.

I could go on - we loved it and couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue.

The most perfect wedding venue!

Broadfield Court was the perfect venue for our countryside, wildflower-themed summer wedding.

Before finding Broadfield we'd looked at countless venues and none felt quite like us however as soon as we stepped inside Broadfield it felt right. From the beautiful house, and wonderful garden to the woodland area which was the ideal picturesque setting for our ceremony to take place - we were even treated to a visit from the cows in the neighbouring field! The venue is perfect for those who want to personalise their wedding and experience the wonders of the Herefordshire countryside.

Helen and all the staff at Broadfield were amazing - all our wishes were catered for and more, and the family-run approach gives the venue an extremely personal feel. Helen and the team were extremely organised and supportive throughout. We visited Broadfield multiple times - on open days and planning sessions which was very helpful to our planning.

A lovely feature was getting the venue from Friday to Sunday, it meant our wedding party and families could celebrate all together for an extraordinary weekend.

As you can book the house for weekends away we hope to be back one day - as we'll truly miss Broadfield. For anyone looking for the perfect venue for a picturesque British countryside wedding, we'd strongly recommend Broadfield.

Relaxed, stylish venue in a stunning countryside setting. Incredible team!

We had our wedding here in October 2023 and it was such a wonderful experience! As soon as we arrived at Broadfield for our first visit, we knew it was the venue for us. It had such a friendly, warm atmosphere and an effortlessly stylish feel throughout. We could see how flexible it was as a venue (so many different ways to have your special day!). It is absolutely beautiful whilst remaining comfortable and relaxed, and really feels like a home from home.

Frances was accommodating and flexible, incredibly organised, and was open to all ideas. She thought of everything and ensured that we had the smoothest planning process possible. We loved working with Frances, Alex and the team, and can't stress enough how lovely and professional everyone is at Broadfield! The day itself was perfect, running seamlessly thanks to Fran and Alex, and we had so much fun from start to finish.

Being able to stay at Broadfield over the whole weekend with our closest friends and family made the experience even more special, allowing lots of time for set up and take down as well as relaxing and enjoying the beautiful house and grounds.

If you are looking for a wedding venue in Herefordshire, we cannot reccomend Broadfield enough! I don't think anywhere else would have made us feel so special, looked after and relaxed. Thank you Fran and the team!

The venue of dreams!

When we started wedding planning, choosing a venue felt like a minefield. We wanted something where we could celebrate our own way. Broadfield was everything and more.
From the moment we contacted Broadfield we knew we were in safe hands. Fran took us through each step of the wedding planning, allowing us to explore how we wanted to celebrate our day, whilst always being on hand to provide advice. Broadfield allowed us to bring personal touches from bringing our own booze from our travels, having our dog by our side and most importantly, choosing food that suited our budget and our vibe without being pre-prescribed to us!
The venue itself is stunning and feels so unique. With so many options for ceremony, drinks, and dancing I'm 99% that every wedding at Broadfield is completely different to the ones before. Importantly, the venue also allowed for spaces where elderly relatives where able to take breaks through the day without them missing out. It really felt like home away from home.
We highly, highly recommend!

I wish we could get married at Broadfield every weekend!

When we started looking for our wedding venue we knew exactly what we wanted but it wasn't easy to find. We were after somewhere we could make our own for the whole weekend, somewhere our close friends and family could stay with us, somewhere that would allow us to do our wedding our way. When we found Broadfield Court we both fell in love. The house and gardens are beautiful and it's in a stunning location. It's family owned and I think it really shows - right from the start it was clear that Fran puts so much effort into each and every wedding she helps to plan. She was friendly, welcoming, and amenable to all our ideas for our big day, offering suggestions for suppliers and going the extra mile to ensure our wedding weekend was everything we hoped it would be - nothing was too much trouble.
The wonderful thing about Broadfield is that it's a blank canvas (and a very beautiful one at that!). We were able to choose all our own suppliers and decide how we would like the weekend to go. For us this meant a relaxed pizza night with our friends on Friday, a woodland ceremony followed by lawn games and a drinks reception in the rose garden on Saturday afternoon, a band and dancing in our tipi until late, a fire drawing and sparklers in the fold yard, and a recovery BBQ on the lawn on Sunday.
Fran, Alex, and the rest of the Broadfield team were amazing. Everything went so smoothly and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend. Many of our friends commented that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and we would certainly agree!
I hope that Broadfield will feature in our anniversary/birthday/Christmas plans in years to come as it's a very special place and somewhere I would love to return to again and again.
Thank you Fran, you're the best!
