About

Set in 27 acres of stunning grounds, Fanhams Hall, is a Grade II Listed Jacobean manor house offering a rare balance of relaxed comfort, informal surroundings and impeccable service. The house can be traced back to the 1400s and with stunning original features, lakeside views and tumbling waterfalls, Fanhams Hall is the perfect venue for your special day.

Our stunning country house in Ware plays host to civil wedding celebrations, offering indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships. Our beautiful wedding venue is outstanding with warming open fires in winter, tumbling waterfalls in summer and beautiful private rooms with stunning features of the original Grade II listed Jacobean manor house all year round.

Our Grade II listed Japanese Tea House is just one of the stunning settings where you can exchange your vows or perhaps you'd prefer the majestic Great Hall with an original minstrel's gallery and gorgeous open fireplace. In contrast, The Lakeside Pavilion has its own terrace overlooking the lake, or, for a touch of grandeur, choose The Long Gallery with hand-carved oak panelling and ornate ceiling.

We believe your wedding should be as individual as you are, so together we can create your dream wedding - our goal is to see your wedding day dreams fulfilled.

Here at Fanhams Hall our dedicated team of professionals pull out all the stops to ensure we deliver the very best of everything. Your special day needs detailed planning and individual attention so one of our dedicated wedding planners will be discreetly by your side to ease the pressure and make sure everything is immaculately organised.

Once the celebrations are over, there are 77 beautifully appointed bedrooms in the house and courtyard for you and your guests to slip away to. And if you like the idea of a country house all to yourself, 'Exclusive Use' is an option on a number of dates throughout the year.

Situated in the town of Ware in Hertfordshire, our venue is only 18 miles from London Stansted Airport, 20 miles for the M25, 3 miles from the A10, 16 miles from the M11 and 28 miles from London.
