Barn & Farm Wedding Venues in Cambridgeshire

We had our wedding reception at The Garden Barns in June 2018. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to get married. We searched high and low for our perfect reception venue in/around Cambridge- wanting somewhere we could put our own stamp on, use our preferred suppliers, our own alcohol, with a laid-back vibe in a private area, preferably in the country side. We were starting to think there was no such location close to Cambridge, but there is! I am so glad we stumbled upon Emily and The Garden Barns. First, the venue is really beautiful and exactly what we wanted. We lucked out with the weather and had a glorious summer day and evening in the beautiful gardens, followed by an night dancing away in the barn. It was everything we had dreamed of! Secondly, Emily was the ideal owner - very responsive, full of ideas and suggestions if needed, while being supportive of our own ideas, and on the day she made sure that the venue ran smoothly (something that we didn’t even notice her doing at the time!). She was also very clear on pricing, which had no hidden extras and we felt was very fair. So, in summary, we would (and have) recommend this to anyone looking to get married in this beautiful part of the world.

As soon as we drove in on our very first visit, we knew this was the venue for us. South Farm is wonderful in every way - the stunning scenery, the animals, the absolutely incredible food (most of which is grown on site!) not to mention the amazing people who work here - the happiest and friendliest bunch of people I think we’ve ever met. Nothing was too much to ask, they actively encouraged us to make our special day unique to us and we will be forever grateful for that. We truly had the most magical day we could have ever wished for. South Farm will always have a special place in our hearts - the home of our favourite day ever.

Having had to rearrange 3 times and then original venue closed due to the pandemic, Sanchia could not do enough. We were recommended the venue and I wish we had originally booked The Barn. The team were fantastic on the day could not do enough, the freedom you have to decorate the venue is great. The setting is amazing and we had some fantastic pictures. Would also recommend Sanchia to do the flowers.

Childerley was the first venue we looked around. We fell in love with it immediately, and we could never top it. It was completely perfect. The orchard, the gardens, the barn - it is all gorgeous. Planning a wedding with the team there was a pleasure - they were responsive, helpful, and were genuinely committed to making it OUR wedding, not a cookie cutter day in any way. They perfectly managed the day itself. We couldn't have had a more wonderful experience, or a more perfect wedding day. Thank you to everyone at Childerley for their hard work, and for their kindness and consideration. We only wish we could marry each other again to we could have another wedding here!

Bassmead was unreal start to finish. We loved every minute of it and ALL of the staff were exceptional. Jade was our event manager and what a gem! Everything was perfect start to finish and we had so many compliments on the venue. Thank you Bassmead!

My husband and I recently tied the knot at Minstrel Court, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the moment we visited in July, we knew this venue was something special. With two ceremony spaces and two dining areas to choose from (all 4 of which are beautiful!), Minstrel Court also has stunning grounds and a lake which provided the most picturesque backdrop for our ceremony and reception. What truly set Minstrel Court apart for us, was their unparalleled flexibility and commitment to making our dream wedding day a reality. From the moment we expressed interest in the venue, they were incredibly accommodating and supportive of our ideas. Whether it was customizing the layout of our reception space or accommodating special requests, they went above and beyond to ensure that our day was exactly how we envisioned it. From the very beginning, Minstrel Court were transparent with their costs, leaving no room for hidden surprises. This level of honesty and integrity was incredibly refreshing in an industry where transparency can sometimes be lacking. They worked closely with us to ensure that our budget was respected while still delivering a wedding experience that was everything we had dreamt of and more! A huge part of our positive experience at Minstrel Court can be attributed to our wedding planner, Amber. From our initial consultation to the final moments of our wedding day, Amber was a joy to work with. Her impeccable communication skills and attention to detail made the planning process seamless and stress-free. No task was too big or too small for her, and her dedication to making our day perfect was evident every step of the way. In conclusion, Minstrel Court was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding venue that not only delivers on beauty and service but also operates with flexibility and transparency. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the Minstrel Court team, especially Amber, for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime! We loved it!

We simply could not have asked for better service. From the moment we booked just under a year before, Ben, Laura and the team were incredible — calm, organised, and always one step ahead. Every detail was covered to perfection, and their accommodating approach made the whole planning process a joy. We arranged catch-up meetings at our own pace, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The venue itself is absolutely stunning — beautifully maintained and full of charm. Simply being perfect for pictures. Our guests were blown away by how flawless everything looked and ran. So many commented on how smoothly the day flowed and how perfect the setting was. The food, provided by Beetroot Catering, was OUTSTANDING. We’re still receiving compliments weeks later! The pizzas in the evening were also a massive hit. The staff were attentive and professional, but discreet — always available without being intrusive. The vintage tractor ride provided by the venue was such a lovely and memorable touch, adding a unique and personal element to the day. We were especially grateful for the attention to detail — the gesture of setting up both the Union Jack and American flag as a tribute to our love story was incredibly thoughtful. We couldn’t have appreciated those little details more. Sissons Barn truly made our day unforgettable. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

We couldn’t have asked for more. Fay in the build up and Kerry on the day were absolutely incredible. We were very fortunate enough to not have anything go wrong on the day and any query that arose was dealt with with professionalism and thoughtfulness. Kerry was incredibly attentive, checking in with us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed and the day ran so smoothly. The barn and grounds are the perfect setting and so much care and attention has gone into the smallest of details. We couldn’t recommend them more and would love to be able to do it all over again.
