Brocket Hall is one of England’s finest stately homes, renowned Auberge du Lac riverside restaurant, Grade 1 listed accommodation at Melbourne Lodge and home to The Melbourne Club, comprising of two championship golf courses set in magnificent secluded 18th century parkland.
Situated in the Melbourne Lodge, a very short walk from the Hall itself, the Oak Room is fully licensed for civil ceremonies, with incredible floor to ceiling glass doors and a private bar has an exclusive terrace for outside ceremonies or for you and your guests to relax on in the evening.
The Oak Room can hold 120 for your ceremony and wedding breakfast with capacity for 150 for an evening reception. The Piano Lounge offers an alternative location for a more intimate wedding breakfast, seating up to 28 guests. The room is at the heart of the Clubhouse, with easy access to all of the facilities.
Set beside the lake, your venue just steps away from some of the finest Hertfordshire countrysides, set within 543 acres of Richard Woods Capability Brown inspired parkland. The Paine Bridge offers stunning views of Brocket Hall and the surrounding Estate, a popular location, not just for wedding photography but also as a film location.

September 2024We had our wedding reception in The Oak Room at Brocket Hall. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The staff were exceptional from initial contact all the way through to the tidy up the day after. First class service, we felt very looked after. The food is also outstanding. Our guests were delighted by the menu and the quality of the food. I also think it important to mention that the price of having a reception in The Oak Room is comparatively reasonable! We found that having a teepee in a field would have been a lot more expensive, once you paid for all the extras they don't tell you about initially. Whereas this all inclusive deal turned out to be much cheaper, for much higher quality service and food. And a truly beautiful setting. Would recommend to all and any!

July 2024Palmerston Golf Course @ Brockett Hall provided us with a well manicured and a picturesque setting. The undulating and changing landscape provided us lots of fun and excitement during our game which we chose to walk. Highly recommended. Great course and country estate location only half an hour’s drive from north London

September 2024Fantastic venue for a golf event, two fabulous courses, of course hotel and all the facilities you would expect at an old house.

September 2024I had my wedding here and it was marred by a tragic incident involving a Brocket Hall staff member. To date, Brocket Hall has admitted no fault, and at no point apologised for events that unfolded that day. How they have handled the matter since then has only reaffirmed their lack of customer care, and compassion that one would reasonably expect of a prestigious wedding venue. If anyone is considering holding their wedding here and would like to hear more about our experience, then I'd be more than happy for you to reach out. Looking at the attached picture, I am reminded of Brocket Hall's Managing Director, who sent us a letter stating that "I do not believe that your celebration was materially affected by the tragic conduct of an individual." Brocket Hall's choice to refer to this person, a Brocket Hall employee, as merely "an individual" highlights their attempt to distance themselves from the incident and the reality of how severely it impacted our wedding day. The impersonal and detached language further reflects Brocket Hall's lack of accountability as the employer.
