Katie and Oli, August 2024
“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.”

Ed and Stu, July 2024
“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 things set up, 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 that’s 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 she’s 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.
“The 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 Broadfield’s 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.”

Hermione and Liam, July 2024
“We had our wedding at Broadfield Court in July 2024 and it was the best weekend of our lives! For two years we have been supported by Helen to plan our dream wedding. She has been responsive and quick to support any idea that we had. In the days before the wedding she made sure we have everything set and helped us change any details without a problem.
“On the actual weekend of the wedding Helen supported us throughout and clearly set out our hour by hour plans to make sure that everything ran as smooth as it could- and it did! Helen’s kindness and ability to manage everything made for the best time ever and we will forever be grateful to her for making it all happen.
“Broadfield itself is a beautiful venue. It was close to our families, so an ideal location. The surrounding area had a great amount of accommodation for our guests and for our extra special guests we could provide them a room at Broadfield. The rooms are beautiful and well sized and could accommodate a mix of our friends and family. The facilities have everything you need and more.
“Talking a walk in the gardens was a beautiful way to end our stay. We got married in the forest which was magical and everything I’d dreamed of. This is the perfect place for all your forest wedding fantasies!
“We hope to stay at Broadfield again one day in the future to celebrate our anniversary. But for now Broadfield will be a beautiful memory of ours!”

Lucy and Joel, June 2024
“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 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.”

Abi and Vishal, August 2024
“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.”

Hannah and Russell, June 2024
“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.”

Mel and Brad, September 2024
“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!”

Lauren and Jack, August 2024
“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”

Rosie and James, July 2024
“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.”

Lily and Lloyd, September 2024
“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!”

Mary and Wayne, August 2024
“We first went to a wedding open day at Broadfield and 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 chose 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.”

Olivia and George, June 2024
“My (new) Husband and I had viewed multiple venues in 2021 which just weren’t ticking all the boxes until we visited Broadfield…
Woodland wedding ✔️ Venue for the whole weekend (or longer if you wish)✔️ Tipi wedding ✔️ Dog friendly ✔️ Flexibility to add your own suppliers – food, flowers, music, booze, photographer, decor ✔️ Space onsite for our immediate family (and more) to sleep ✔️ Outdoor/boho/chic vibes ✔️ Beautiful views ✔️ Annual open days (which are ALOT of fun by the way) & flexibility to view (and re-view if you wish) Broadfield ✔️ Not only did we get all of the above, we got Fran too who runs Broadfield with her family.
“Fran has been UNBELIEVABLE from the start and has put up with me and my constant emailing for 3 years until our wedding day on the 1st June. Fran is someone who you can trust with any job big or small on your day, she responds immediately to any query you have, she remembers every little detail and she will feel like your wedding side-kick. Fran, Alex (her Husband) and the rest of her family are truly wonderful and they make you feel like Broadfield is your home.
“I am honestly so sad to say goodbye to Broadfield, Fran and the family – it is the end of a massive chapter in mine and my Husband’s life. That said, Broadfield has given us the most special memories we will hold onto for the rest of our chapters together. We will never be able to say an official goodbye to Broadfield, Fran and Alex as we hope to re-book Broadfield for our anniversary. This is another opportunity Broadfield offers which not many other wedding venues can, allowing myself and my Husband to re-live our beautiful memories of our wedding weekend. Honestly, you’d be silly to not get married at Broadfield.”

Steph and Brett, October 2024
“Broadfield is a flexible wedding venue, which allows you to personalise your experience as much as you like. After the wedding, our friends and family commented that our wedding as very ‘us’ which is exactly what we wanted.
“Fran and Alex are fantastic wedding planners and guide you through the whole process, and, importantly, make it an enjoyable one. They were very accommodating including dealing with last minute requests and changes and nothing was too much trouble. You can have the venue from Thursday to expand the wedding experience, and it meant we got to enjoy the beautiful house fully with our close families. We couldn’t recommend this venue more!”

Jennie and Nathan, July 2024
“Broadfield court is the most wonderful, most beautiful, most special place for a wedding. We could not have chosen anywhere better for the best day of our lives!
“The team there are magicians – from the moment we first visited they helped us navigate the world of suppliers and logistics, worked like troopers on the day, and even helped us get an outdoor dry wedding on a day it rained a little bit!
“Broadfield Court is the whole package and we cannot recommend highly enough!”
***
Alex and Chris, August 2024
“Broadfield Court went above and beyond in making our wedding day truly amazing!
“The venue was breathtaking and the woods where our ceremony took place was everything we wanted and more! It made the ceremony feel magical! Not only is the venue itself beautiful, but Fran, Alex and their team are all beautiful people! Not once did it feel like we were clients and vendors with the rigid to do lists. It felt like they put just as much care and effort into our wedding as we and our families did.
“I will rave about Broadfield Court to everyone and anyone who are planning their wedding. Our wedding day was everything we wanted and more. I wish we could do it all over again!”

Lauren and James, June 2024
“Broadfield was a dream come true as a wedding venue. We wanted somewhere for an entire weekend, with a relaxed feel that had beautiful outdoor space, and plenty of room for our guests – and Broadfield ticked all the boxes and more!
“What topped it all off was the absolute blessing that is Frances, who was there from day one to help us plan the best day of our lives. She really could not do enough for us and made sure the whole weekend went so smoothly. A huge thank you to her, Alex, and the entire team for everything!!”

Sophia and Jamie, March 2024
“We held our wedding reception at Broadfield Court and it was truly everything and more than we could’ve wished for.
“From start to finish, Helen, Fran, Alex and John were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, and no stone was left unturned. They covered all bases, and put us in touch with every supplier that we needed to have. The house, the gardens and grounds are stunning,
“Broadfield Court really is the perfect venue. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for everything. If only we could get married at Broadfield every weekend! We’ll be forever thankful to you.
