Bassmead Manor Barns on Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire border is a truly romantic setting for your special day. The venue’s unique mix of historic features and contemporary style perfectly blend to provide a memorable atmosphere to your wedding day.
This unique barn wedding venue offers two elegant preparation spaces designed to make your wedding morning unforgettable. In the heart of the venue, the Salon and Boudoir is a light-filled suite with dedicated hair and make-up stations, a chic upstairs dressing room for that perfect reveal, and a cosy lounge downstairs to toast the day ahead with fizz and friends. Across the moat, The Dudeoir provides a fabulous and stylish retreat where partners and their party can relax, get ready in style, and share those special pre-ceremony moments together.
Couples are invited to tie the knot in the breathtaking 300-year-old Rickety Barn, a lovingly restored traditional timber barn with solid oak beams and wrought iron chandeliers. In the warmer months, couples can also choose to marry beneath The Thatched Bower, a uniquely beautiful oak-framed structure looing out on the young, evolving woodland.
After the ceremony, celebrate with drinks in the elegant Moat Barn, spilling out onto the landscaped gardens to mingle with guests, and perhaps spot the resident peacocks. Your wedding breakfast takes place in the light and airy Bridge Barn, overlooking the moat. Its neutral tones provide a sophisticated backdrop that’s ready to be styled your way.
At Bassmead Manor Barns, food and drink are at the heart of the celebration. The talented in-house team craft dishes that delight, from elegant fine dining to hearty sharing boards and relaxed, family-style feasts. Pair your menu with fine wines, celebratory fizz or handcrafted cocktails that perfectly capture your personality and style.
As the evening unfolds, the Bridge Barn, with its chic, modern vibe, transforms into your dancefloor whilst guests can step outside to enjoy the ambience of the outdoor kitchen serving wood-fired pizzas or vibrant street food. It’s relaxed and effortless, the perfect way to continue the celebrations into the night.
When the dancing’s done, retreat to Dove Cottage, your romantic honeymoon hideaway for the night. Your nearest and dearest can stay across the moat in Appletree Cottage, home to seven beautifully appointed guest bedrooms. The following morning, share breakfast together and relive the memories of a truly unforgettable day.
The friendly and experienced team at Bassmead Manor Barns pride themselves on exceptional service. From your first visit to the final farewell, they are on hand to make sure every detail runs seamlessly allowing you to simply relax and enjoy every moment.
