About this venue

On Hitched.co.uk since 2022

Last update: June 2026

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.

A Perfect Venue with an Incredible Team – Special Thanks to Ally! ❤️

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, the team made everything so easy for us and helped make the whole planning process as stress-free as possible. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout, which made such a difference to our experience.

The venue itself was absolutely spotless and looked beautiful on the day. Everything was so well organised, and we felt completely at ease knowing we were in such good hands. It really allowed us to relax, enjoy every moment and make the most of our special day.

A very special mention has to go to our designated coordinator, Ally. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Her organisation, professionalism and attention to detail in the lead-up to the wedding and throughout the day itself were outstanding. So many of our guests commented on how well everything had been organised, and Ally played such a huge part in making that happen. We honestly can’t thank her enough for all her hard work and for helping everything run so smoothly.

A huge thank you to the entire team for making our wedding day so special and memorable. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful setting with an incredible team who genuinely care about making your day perfect. Five stars from us without a doubt! ❤️

Fantastic venue!

A fantastic venue and team! Big shout out to Leah, who was so wonderful throughout the whole planning process, answering all questions we had, no matter how silly. We felt so well looked after on the run up and including the day of the wedding.

I’d highly recommend this venue if you a looking for anywhere in the Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire area, such a lovely place and we will hold the memories of our day so dearly in big part due to this venue and its amazing team.

Thank you so much Bassmead 🩷

The Perfect Day at Bassmead ❤️

I honestly don’t even know where to begin because Bassmead Manor Barns was everything we could have wished for and more. ❤️

From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey, right through to the moment our wedding day came to an end, we felt so incredibly looked after. Choosing a wedding venue can feel like such a huge decision, but looking back now, I genuinely couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

A very special mention has to go to our coordinator, Ally. She was absolutely incredible. From the planning stages to the actual wedding day, she was so professional, calm, organised and reassuring. I cannot put into words how much it meant to me to have someone like Ally there. On what could have been one of the most stressful days of my life, I genuinely never once had to worry. I knew everything was being taken care of, and that allowed me to actually enjoy my wedding day rather than constantly thinking about what needed to happen next.

Everything ran so smoothly and seamlessly. Things were happening behind the scenes that I didn’t even know about, and that is exactly what you want on your wedding day. I could completely relax, enjoy being with my husband, our family and friends, and take in every single moment knowing that Ally and the team had everything under control.

And the food… WOW 🤩🤩 It was absolutely incredible. We had so many of our guests comment on how amazing the food was, and even afterwards people were still talking about it! Everything was beautifully presented, tasted amazing and was served so professionally. It genuinely exceeded our expectations.

The whole team at Bassmead were fantastic. Every member of staff we came across was friendly, professional, attentive and so lovely. You could tell that they genuinely cared about making our day special, rather than it just being another wedding for them.

Looking back at our wedding day, one of the things I’m most grateful for is that I was able to be completely present. I wasn't worrying about timings, the food, the guests, what was happening next or whether things were going to plan. I could just be a bride, enjoy my husband, dance, laugh, cry and take everything in because I knew we were in safe hands.

Our wedding day went by far too quickly, but it was genuinely everything we dreamed it would be. Bassmead didn't just provide us with a beautiful venue; they gave us the peace of mind to actually enjoy one of the most important days of our lives.
Ally, in particular, deserves the biggest thank you from us. We will always remember how calm and supported you made us feel and how much of a difference you made to our day.

Thank you to the entire Bassmead Manor Barns team for giving us memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We will forever be so grateful that we chose Bassmead for our wedding. ❤️

If you're considering getting married here, I honestly couldn't recommend it enough. You will be in the best hands. ❤️

Just book it - perfection

The day couldn’t have been more perfect. Delicious food and very generous portions. Each guest kept saying how blown away they were by the venue. The staff provide an exceptional service. Our Event Manager Leah was incredible; so helpful and reassuring in the lead up to the day, and went above and beyond for us on the day. Likewise, our evening supervisor, Sofa, was incredible - she made sure we had 3 whole pizzas in our honeymoon suite which was amazing!!
Thank you so much - you can’t put a price on these memories. Thank you, Bassmead 🙏🥂❤️

The most perfect wedding venue🤍

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than Bassmead Manor Barns. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely beautiful. The grounds looked incredible, especially with all the rose bushes in full bloom, and there was so much space for everyone to enjoy throughout the day, both inside and outside. The Boudoir was the perfect space for the bridal party to get ready, and it was also such a lovely touch having the Dudeoir for the groom and his side of the wedding party to get ready in.

The whole day ran so smoothly, and the staff were absolutely fantastic. They put out all of our decorations for us and everything looked even better than we could have imagined when we walked into the room. The food was incredible and such a credit to the venue, and the cocktail bar was a huge hit with our guests!

A special mention has to go to our Events Manager, Ally Romanatti-Manning, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was so helpful, organised and reassuring, and genuinely made the whole day feel completely stress-free. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her and we always felt that we were in the safest hands.

Every little detail was perfect, the day went exactly how we hoped it would, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding. We would recommend Bassmead Manor Barns to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team behind it.

Absolutely Beautiful

The team at Bassmead are simply amazing. From our very first show round we had chills from the venue. It was beautiful and very well thought out. The inside ceremony room was the most stunning barn we had seen, the lights and everything about it just felt so romantic, it was perfect for us. We had Jade as a coordinator and she was brilliant. She was on hand to answer any questions and guide us through the planning stage so well and very quickly too. The staff were always so helpful and the service was the best I had ever experienced. Everything felt very polished and finished to an excellent standard. I can't sing their praises enough, it was a beautiful day in a 5 star venue. I have had so many of our guests come to me and say how beautiful it was there and how good the service was. Would 100% recommend this venue to anyone getting married.

An incredible wedding venue!

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, the team were incredibly responsive, attentive and genuinely helpful. A specific shoutout to Ally who was incredible throughout the process. They were always on hand to answer questions, talk through details and make sure we felt completely supported throughout the planning process. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.

On the wedding day itself, everything was exceptionally well organised and ran so smoothly. The staff were attentive without ever being intrusive, and it was clear that everyone knew exactly what they were doing. We were able to relax and enjoy the day knowing that all the details were being taken care of behind the scenes.

The food was fantastic and a real highlight for us and our guests. Everything was beautifully presented, well prepared, and full of flavour; we received so many compliments from our guests about the meal, and particularly the limoncello slushies!

The venue itself worked brilliantly for both the ceremony and reception. The spaces flowed naturally from one part of the day to the next, while still giving each stage of the wedding its own atmosphere. It was a beautiful setting for the ceremony and then transformed perfectly for the reception and celebrations afterwards.

Overall, we were very impressed with the venue and, particularly, with the team behind it. Their professionalism, organisation and genuine care made the whole process feel easy and enjoyable. We would highly recommend the venue to anyone looking for somewhere to celebrate their wedding.

Sensational Venue, Service and whole wedding experience!

This venue is so beautiful and every little detail is thought through. The service and team were exceptional throughout the whole experience from looking around the venue for booking all the way until the day after the wedding. We had the most perfect wedding day, nothing was ever too much for the staff and they were so organised we didn't have to worry about anything. Over the moon we had our wedding here and couldn't have wished for anything more

Beaaaautiful wedding venue

Our wedding day at Bassmead Manor Barns was PERFECT. Our events manager Leah was incredible with us throughout the whole planning process. Food was delicious and all of our guests loved it! Best food we have ever had at a wedding if we do say so ourselves. The grounds are stunning, staff are amazing. If you are trying to find a barn venue, I would not look anywhere else. It is beautifully breathtaking, rain or shine!

Worth every penny

When we were looking at venues the first we visited was Bassmead, from then on I couldn't look at any other venues in the same way so even though Bassmead was at the top end of our budget, we decided to go with it. It was the best decision we made, from start to finish Ally and the rest of the events team made our lives so easy preparing for the wedding itself. If we ever had a question it was answered immediately. On the day itself the events team and the catering team are so willing to help that there is no stress at all, you can just enjoy your big day and relax. I couldn't recommend Bassmead as your venue any higher.

Best Day Ever

It didn't take long for us to decide Bassmead was the venue for us. As the first venue we visited, we compared everything else to Bassmead and we just knew that the team there would care about our day as much as us.

Having met most of the team in the lead up to our day, we had every confidence that the team would manage all aspects of the day leaving us to enjoy ourselves and not have to worry. Working in the event industry, I was concerned I wouldn't be able to switch off but Ally took over the morning, meeting suppliers, asking if she could do anything and ensuring we were calm, fed and ready ontime (okay maybe a bit late for me).

All the team care - it's evident in every single person we met during our many many visits and no question was too much or silly. Special thanks have to go to Ally for keeping us on schedule, calm and bringing me drinks when I was too busy chatting, Chef Matt for some of the best food our guests have had at a wedding (direct quote), Marlon for sourcing our favourite champagne and and the owners who let us sabre champagne at the end of the night.

Thanks Bassmead - just wish we could do it all over again.

A very special place!

My husband and I have recently got married at Bassmead. To say our day was amazing is the understatement of the century! Our day was more than we could have ever wished and hoped for. Bassmead were professional, kind, caring, supportive and outstanding right from the very second we stepped foot into this amazing venue. No matter which member of staff we spoke to nothing was ever too much trouble. The bar is set high here!

Beautiful, peaceful, next level perfection is what greeted us as we walked over their amazing bridge. The Rickety Barn is gorgeous and the grounds are simply stunning.

We never doubted for a second that weren't in safe hands. The staff here love their jobs annd it really shows. Every member of the Basemead Team, Julie, Jo, Ally (our Events Manager) to name only a few, helped to make our day the best ever. Ally was amazing! Smily, happy, calm, cool and collected right throughout our day. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything is in hand. She ensured everything ran seamlessly and any stress we did have melted away in their safe hands.

Our food and drinks were also fantastic with many of our guests commenting on the level of perfection and joy they experienced during our day.

Bassmead is a very special place!
We feel incredibly lucky and thankful to have had our special day here.

Can we do it all again please?!

Thank you all so much!

Best Day of Our Lives

Had the best day of our lives here. From the moment we first visited, we knew we wanted Bassmead to be our venue - it was exactly what we were looking for.

The staff were amazing, the food was incredible, our guests were well looked after and the venue is breathtaking. It really feels like you’re in your own little bubble all day.

Jade did an incredible job throughout and helped with all of our queries, no matter how small or silly they were - and was on hand throughout the day.

Thank you so much everyone, you helped give us the best wedding that we and our guests will remember for the rest of our lives.
