Our beautiful barn wedding venue is nestled in the stunning countryside on the Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire borders, yet just 40 minutes by train from London, and close to the city of Cambridge. We are family-run and eco-friendly and our elegant buildings, formal gardens, small holding and charming Romany wagons offer a unique backdrop for a perfect wedding day.

Our charming farmhouse and barns have been lovingly converted into stunning venue spaces. We’ve an enviable choice of licensed ceremony options both inside and out. Our pretty garden summerhouse is perfect for idyllic outdoor wedding ceremonies of up to 146 guests. Inside we have four stunning ceremony options.

The grand Tudor Barn – A magical setting framed with ancient, rustic elm beams adorned in fairy lights and high ceilings offers a dramatic entrance for ceremonies of up to 146 guests.

The Drawing Room – Situated in our charming farmhouse which is perfect for intimate ceremonies of up to 35 guests as well as being a cosy indoor space during a drink’s reception. It’s also the perfect spot for indoor photos!

The Old Dairy – with rustic beams, and views over-looking our sheep paddock this charming setting seats up to 100 guests for ceremony. As well as being an indoor ceremony location it also offers an ideal wet weather alternative to a garden ceremony and with views overlooking the Sunset Terrace, the perfect spot to watch the sun go down over the farm.

The Horse Barn - This delightful barn with beautiful rustic beams can accommodate up to 65 guests for ceremony. It is a beautiful event space and also offers a fantastic partially glazed dance floor, with glass panels through to the Tudor Barn, for the evening party as well as a breakfast space for up to 40 guests the following morning.

We ask couples with their hearts set on getting married outside to choose their favourite indoor option too and if the weather is looking changeable the day before their wedding, then we will set up both options and make a decision with the couple and officiants as close as 45 minutes before ceremony as to whether the ceremony will take place inside or out.

Our wider gardens, orchards and wildflower meadows encircling our formal gardens are managed and improved with conservation, as well as beauty, in mind. Over the years we have planted over 1000 indigenous hardwood trees, heritage orchards and many kilometres of hedgerow – all creating diverse wildlife habitats and a beautiful backdrop for photos too. At South Farm, couples enjoy so many unique settings for wedding photos - our fairy lit tree-lined driveway, pretty herb garden, charming garden bridge, colourful vintage steam engine and enchanting Romany Wagons to name a few! To the delight of our couples and their wedding guests our rare-breed animals, including sheep, white peacocks, chickens and often piglets, reside in harmony in the barnyard and paddocks – and couples often enjoy photos with the piglets on their wedding day!

Our unique small-holding allows us to be as self-sufficient as possible. We organically grow around 200 different varieties of fruit, vegetables and herbs in our small holding, almost all of which are used in our seasonal wedding menus. Our 150 free range chickens give us the majority of our eggs and our pigs provide some of our pork. We are also proud to boast that we produce home grown rose petals for confetti when in season!

Although sustainability has always been central to our ethos, conservation and on-site food production being two key strengths, over the past year we've taken significant steps to strengthen this commitment reinforcing our wish to do more to reduce the huge challenge of climate change. We take this commitment very seriously and always try to be proactive to reduce our carbon footprint in an industry that can be seen as creating significant waste and carbon emissions. Over the past year we have put two new plans in place to help with this – we are passionate about doing what we can.

First, we established a Sustainability Council with representatives from every department ranging from the office and kitchen to the farm, gardens, housekeeping, night team, bar team, and front of house. This cross-team collaboration has improved communication, encouraged new ideas, and ensured that sustainability initiatives are implemented consistently across all areas of the business with better recycling, removing single use plastics, fewer deliveries, paperless office systems to name a few.

Second, we’ve tackled our energy use. While we’ve long used 100% green electricity, we're now investing over £250,000 in an on-site solar energy project. This includes 360 solar panels and battery storage, expected to generate around 167,000 kWh of electricity annually covering a large share of our needs and reducing our carbon footprint by approximately 34 tonnes of CO₂ each year. The system is currently under construction and on track to be operational by November 2025.

We're not perfect and we’re not carbon neutral yet but we’re moving in the right direction and are fully committed to looking after our part of the planet. It means everything that our couples entrust us with their wedding day and we aim to deliver the very best wedding possible whilst striving to be as sustainable as possible and reducing the impact that our activities and actions have on the environment.

We provide all essential venue items and much more; from tables, chairs, cutlery, table linen, glassware, wooden easels, log slices, twinkling fairy lights, dancefloors, guest signage, accessible ramps for wheelchair users, to sound systems in every space. Nothing is overlooked.
