Outdoor Weddings
The historic Wandlebury estate is a beautiful location for couples planning an outdoor wedding near Cambridge. We do not have a wedding venue licence but we welcome informal ceremonies and wedding receptions. Our Stable Rooms & Paddock provide a lovely and private setting and the surrounding parkland and historic buildings are a stunning backdrop for photos of the happy couple and their guests.
Our site is very much a green and beautiful canvas for you to create your special day. Couples have put up marquees, yurts, tepees and tents. The catering has been varied too, from traditional fare to hog roasts and from simple picnics to pop up cocktail bars.
The Stables are equipped with crockery, cutlery, fridge, microwave, tables & chairs, etc. There are also rooms for laying out food or flowers and indoor activity and we can also provide a small marquee in the paddock for additional shade or shelter.
Each wedding is priced on an individual basis depending on your requirements.
