Frequently asked questions

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions. If your query is not answered below, please do not hesitate to get in contact with our office and we will be happy to help.


What is the ideal time to get married?

From 2pm onwards, either for the start of the ceremony here or arrival at the Barn from the Church.    In our experience the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches will take approximately 3 hours so it is ideal to work back from the arrival time of any evening guests.  If your ceremony is here please contact the Buckinghamshire Ceremonies Team on 01494 475092.

Can we throw Confetti?

We do not permit confetti, however you are welcome to have bubbles either inside or outside, which will create beautiful photographs. Sparklers outside also create some stunning shots!

Some of my guests have dietary requirements, can they be catered for?

Certainly, we can cater for all dietary requirements and adjust your chosen menu for that particular guest.  We advise that when you send out your invitations you ask to be notified of any special dietary requirements or food allergies which you can then pass to us by, at the latest, one month before your date. If you have any nut or shellfish allergies we ask that you do not have either nuts of shellfish in your menu.

Can we have a food and wine tasting?

If you would like a food tasting we can arrange a special ‘Date Night’ style evening for you and your partner in our Reception Room. You will be backstage at a real wedding with similar menu choices to yourselves. Our Sous Chef will look after you during your intimate dinner and you will have a chance to talk to our Head Chef after the wedding breakfast service is finished.  For wine tastings you can buy your preferred wines from our wine list at half price. You can take them home and try them at your own leisure with family and friends. Another fun occasion to have with your nearest and dearest before the wedding!

Would we be able to bring lawn games, a bouncy castle and or a photo booth?

Yes certainly we can accommodate all of these. Our lower lawn is a beautiful extension of our more formal upper lawn. We welcome bouncy castles and games on the lower lawn only.

Can we have candles in the Barn?

Candles are permitted for your Ceremony and on the tables at which you are eating. If you would like the effect of candles in the Barn we recommend the numerous battery versions which are available.  

Do you have accessible facilities?

Yes, we have a discrete slope built into the side of our patio for easy wheelchair and pram access. We also have an accessible/ baby changing loo just off the dance floor which allows individuals with accessibility needs to remain on the same level throughout their day.

Can you accommodate NEURODIVERGENT guests?

Of course we can. We have lots of experience with adapting our normal procedures so that any neurodivergent individuals can also enjoy their day to the full.

Is there anywhere for guests with additional needs to go if they need a breather?

Yes, on request you can have the Reception Room as an option as a quiet space for guests to go if they need some self-regulating time.

What music do you allow?

We have two fantastic resident DJs who are brilliant to work with to create the music and vibe you would like. They are also talented at getting a party started and catering to a diverse range of ages. You are also very welcome to have a live band (up to 4 pieces) on our inside dance floor as well as unamplified musicians outside and around the barn.

Can we have a bar tab?

We are happy to run a bar tab at your request and this can be included in your itinerary and quotation. If you decide to run one on the day this will need to be settled on the night by card or cash.

What time does the bar close and music stop?

From Monday- Saturday our licensing ends at 12am. This means we call last orders at 11.45pm. We then close the bar at 12am but you can carry on dancing till 12.30am. Often you will then have been partying for 10 hrs and your cheeks will be sore from all your smiling! On Sundays our licensing ends at 11.30pm. We therefore call last orders at 11.15pm and close the bar at 11.30pm, however your music can go on till 12am. Again, your feet are often ready for bed after 4.5hrs of dancing!

How much parking do you have?

We have an extensive car park and plenty of overflow parking.

Could our guests leave their cars overnight?

Your guests are welcome to leave their cars overnight, at their own risk, to be collected by 10.30am the next day please.

Where can we have pictures if it rains on our wedding day?

The farm has lots of out buildings for you to shelter in to take beautiful rustic shots. We also have extensive tree cover in different areas and even woods which provide a lovely nature backdrop. We do always say as well that it rarely rains for the whole of your wedding day. Your photographer will work with our Front Of House to find a break in the weather so you can have photos outside.

Can I bring my dog?

Of course, you can bring your dog. Being a family farm, we appreciate how dogs are often a huge part of the family! We do say however that just your dog or immediate family dog to your day as often multiple dogs don’t mix well together. Thinking of animal welfare, we do say that your dog needs to go home to their own comforts before the wedding breakfast.

Do you have accommodation on site?

We don’t have any accommodation directly onsite, however we do have an extensive local accommodation list with the closest being just 1.5 miles away! There is an array of options on the list to accommodate all types of guests and budgets. We also have options to accommodate larger groups and ones with fantastic additional facilities. We believe that your wedding should be a luxury experience where you can be on your own time frame. On site accommodation can affect the luxury of the experience having to move on quickly the morning after your wedding to accommodate for another wedding party coming in. We find accommodation off site allows you to be in control of your timeline and make a whole weekend of celebrating with your family and friends.
