FAQ’s – Getting all of the facts
When picking a Wedding Venue it is important to make sure that all questions are answered before a booking is made.
You may think that some questions are important or you may feel a bit silly asking them but I can assure you that we have heard them all and we are always on hand to put your mind at rest.
So, we thought it would be a good idea to answer some of the usual and occasionally unusual questions we get asked……
Are the menus flexible?
Absolutely. We actively encourage our couples to be creative with their wedding day menus. There are so many options to choose from and we are always on hand to help with suggestions.
Do you have a Wedding Co-ordinator? Will they be on site for the celebrations?
Yes, Amy, our Wedding Planner works full time at Parkfields and will work with you right up to and including your big day.
Does the Venue hire price change depending on date?
Yes, our exclusive use venue hire charge varies depending on date and time of year. We work closely with our couples to establish your requirements and we base the venue hire charge on your particular celebrations. The prices start at £1,000 per 24 hours.
Does the Venue come fully equipped?
Yes, we have everything on site that would be required for any celebration. A full team incising personal chef, tables, chairs, cutlery, glassware, crockery, table linen, easels, table number holders and cake knife. Nothing would need to be hired in.
Can we bring our Dog?
Yes of course, any well behaved dogs are welcome at Parkfields. We would ask that they do not enter the dining rooms or bedrooms
Can guests throw confetti?
Absolutely, as much as you want, as long as its natural or biodegradable.
Can we have fireworks?
No problem. We are lucky to be surrounded by lots of woodland and agricultural land so we would ask that you use one of our listed firework suppliers that have already carried out a rick assessment.
How does the parking work?
We have a parking field at the bottom of the drive that we encourage your guests to use. Its worth leaving the front of the house clear of vehicles ready for the photographs.
Do I really need Wedding insurance?
Absolutely Yes! This does not just include the venue, it can cover any mishaps that occur before on on your bug day. Its really not worth taking the risk. Check out: www.johnlewisfinance.com/

The Ultimate House Party!
Evening celebrations at Parkfields are just magical after all, what could be better than taking over an 18th Century Manor for the ultimate house party!
Evening celebrations can unfortunately drop down the list of priorities when planning a Wedding. Although the Wedding Ceremony is the pinnacle of any celebrations, and rightly so, sometimes the evening reception can sometimes be forgotten.
If you have a set list of guests that you are inviting to your evening celebrations why not make things more interesting for them. Consider hiring some casino tables to set up in the Garden room, having you speeches and toast with your evening food or save a wedding ritual such as the first dance or cake cutting for your evening guests to see.
Parkfields is full of versatile spaces for you to use for your evening party, The decking and gardens where you’ll mingle with friends and family while enjoying some of chef’s delicious homage snack foods. Then you have the Lounge, central to the main house an ideal space for catching up with guests and taking a moment to relax. The adjacent Castlebrook room is where you’ll find the heart and soul of the party. Boasting a dance floor with unraveled countryside views, we cannot think of a better place to celebrate!

Real Life Weddings in Herefordshire – Steph & Dan
Meet Steph & Dan – This gorgeous couple chose to say “I do” here back in August 2015.
Here is their Parkfields story
What made you choose Parkfields Wedding Venue in Herefordshire?
It was the first venue we viewed, from the literature we knew we would like it but as soon as we turned into the long gravel drive and saw the idyllic building, lawns and pond we were sold! The other factors that made us choose the venue were having exclusive use of the venue and grounds, the reviews we had read from other couples and the attitude and professionalism of the in house wedding planner Amy.
What food did you have?
I can easily remember this as every guest commented on how good the food was. For starter we had Warm Stilton Tart with Red Onion Marmalade & Baby Leaves. Main – Roast Breast of Chicken Wrapped in Herbs & Pancetta with a Wild Mushroom Compote & Roast Jus. Dessert – Warm Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream.
What were the top two things you wanted at your wedding?
The two things we would not compromise on were complete Exclusive Use of the Venue and a tranquil setting/location in Herefordshire. Parkfields easily accommodated both of these, especially the location given they offer full use of the whole venue and its 11 acres of grounds.
Any stand out moments or comedy error that happened throughout the day?
When exchanging our vows Stephanie’s ring would not fit so I sucked her finger and it went straight on like a dream!!
Do you have any wedding regrets or would you have done anything differently?
We had 8 children all under the age of 4 so in hindsight I wish we had hired a children’s entertainer for when photographs were being taken, but apart from that it was an amazing day and I would do it every Saturday if I could afford it!
