Beautiful Cotswold Wedding Venue

"We got married last month at The Royal Agricultural University, which was the most fantastic moment of our lives!
We couldn’t have done it without the amazing service, detail and inspiration from the Events Team at The Royal Agricultural University. Everything from start to finish was so easy and every little detail was thought of.
The Events Team really listened to our input and requirements, and created the most magical scene and setting for our special day. We really cannot recommend the venue enough if you are thinking of hiring a venue where there is a chapel that you can get married in, fab rooms for your wedding breakfast and amazing space for your evening entertainment, whether that is inside or out, plus ensuite accommodation for each guest!
The team have relationships with a great choice of local suppliers, taking out all the hard work".
