Did You Know?
Now, we know that Parkfields is the perfect setting for all types of Wedding celebrations in Herefordshire from intimate midweek family celebrations to a full on traditional affair. However, believe it or not, there are some common misconceptions about Chelsea Parkfields Wedding Venue and I’m here to explain why they are simply not true!
1) “Wow, that place looks expensive!!!!”
I know I have pointed this out many times before but Parkfields it only costs £1500.00 for 24 hours Exclusive Use! (some people pay more than that for a cake!)
This is the starting point for your celebrations and then this allows you to build the Wedding Celebration that you want! Just as a quick example if you would like to celebrate with 60 guests at a reception offering prosecco, canapés, a three course meal, wine, toast drinks & evening snacks you would be paying less than £6,000.00!
If you are worried about budget why not get married on a Sunday with your closest family & friends? Or you could of course take up our Winter Wedding Promotion!

2) “Parkfields does not look big enough for our celebrations!”
When considering a Wedding venue in Herefordshire, capacity is a very important consideration. Its probably best to work out a rough guest list and look at venues that suit that number.
We find that ALOT of people perceive Parkfields to be a little on the small side but I can tell you that its simply not true! With seating for up to 90 day guests for a Ceremony & Wedding breakfast we can cater for quite a sizeable celebration. You can always invite more guests for the evening of course!
The Parkfields 11.5 acre estate is made up of 7 different Reception Rooms which is wonderful because it means that your celebrations take place in different areas. Why not take a look at our virtual tour to see it for yourself: https://www.parkfields.co.uk/virtual-tours/
3) “You have to take 12 bedrooms as part of the hire!”
There is a little bit of truth to this one but these bedrooms are not a direct cost to the bridal party, your guests would simply be asked to pay for accommodation as they check out. If you have Exclusive Use of a beautiful, grade 2 listed Wedding Venue in Herefordshire for your Celebrations then you will have a cue of guests wanting to stay!
If you are really worried about not being able to fill 12 bedrooms you could always hire under the Winter Promotion and that way you are not required to take any bedrooms at all!
We know that choosing the perfect Wedding Venue in Herefordshire for you can be quite a challenge. Here at Parkfields we do everything that we can to make sure you have all of the facts before you make that one big decision!
