Laughter, love, and a whole lot of dancing in Hertfordshire
If you’ve ever been to a Jewish wedding, you’ll know they are some of the most joyful, high-energy celebrations around. And Janine & Michael’s wedding at Hatfield House was no exception — it had everything: emotion, tradition, and of course, a hora that left everyone breathless (myself included!).
From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing. The chuppah ceremony in the gardens was heartfelt and emotional, with readings that had family members wiping away tears one moment and laughing the next. Michael’s glass-breaking moment was met with an almighty cheer of “Mazel Tov!” that set the tone for the rest of the day.
Now, let’s talk about the party. If you’ve ever wondered what pure joy looks like, it’s people flying around on chairs, skirts twirling, and laughter so loud it fills the whole room. The Hatfield House interiors made the perfect backdrop — elegant, grand, and just the right amount of chaos to match the dance floor energy.
And that’s what makes Hatfield House so brilliant for weddings like this. It’s not just about the grandeur of a Grade I listed Jacobean mansion or the sweeping gardens for portraits (though those are definitely highlights). It’s about the way the venue holds both the solemnity of a chuppah ceremony and the pure mayhem of a hora — all under one roof.

Thank you, Janine & Michael, for the laughter, the dancing, and the privilege of capturing every wild, beautiful moment. Weddings like yours are why I love this job — equal parts chaos and love, all wrapped up in one unforgettable day.
