Hatfield House

Old Palace Hatfield House Wedding

Photography by Matt Penberthy Photography

Hatfield House may have been the home of Lara Croft, but it also happens to be the venue for Matt & Kim’s wedding! A beautifully classic day filled with bright white florals, a candlelit aisle, a Gift List from Recommended Supplier, The Wedding Shop, and videography from Vic Rivero Films. We love Kim’s elegant gown, with its off-the-shoulder finish and princess skirt. The reception room is giving us serious vibes! With its bare brick wall and tapestry hangings to the side. Oh, and a moment to appreciate the wedding bubbles!? Hey, if you’re looking for a sustainable way to leave your ceremony… this is it! Have Matt & Kim just started a new wedding trend? We think so…

ADVICE

It's never too early to start planning as no matter how much time you think you have, you look down, and suddenly the day has arrived. Although we know it is not always possible and the budget can sometimes be tight if there is a possibility, one of our best decisions was saying yes to what we really wanted. We have no regrets in paying extra for those last-minute touches which truly helped make the day.

HATFIELD HOUSE

Hatfield House and the hospitality team (particularly our wedding coordinator Perri Blissett), were phenomenal. It was the most perfect backdrop for our special day. Our suppliers fit perfectly into our vision and all made the day the spectacular success it was. Matt Penberthy and Vic Rivero truly captured the magic and have given us beautiful photos and videos to treasure and remember our day.

My husband Matt gets all the credit for the bubbles! Walking out as husband and wife to a curtain of bubbles will forever be a highlight of my life.
