Everything we ever imagined
Thank you so so much for everything. From the first viewing, I knew Rectory Farm was where I wanted to get married. The communication was brilliant and every question was answered. Rectory Farm is a beautiful venue. It was everything we ever imagined. I cannot thank both Alison and Roger enough, as well as Steph! The attention to detail is like no other, the whole day was a dream come true.

A beautiful secret garden for a Cambridge wedding
As a florist I love designing flowers for Rectory Farm. The mature garden is so inviting providing endless photo opportunities whilst the beautiful marquee spaces provide a perfect blank canvas for couples to make their own.

Lovely gifts and great support
Hi Roger, thank you so much to you and Alison for the lovely gifts - that's so kind and thoughtful of you! The chocolates are delicious and we are going to open the champagne later. Thanks also for checking everyone was able to find their room on Saturday. We really appreciate all the support you and Alison have given us leading up to our wedding and on the day itself.

Simply the best, could not have asked for more
From the first phone call to leaving the next morning Alison and Roger could not have done more or made it any easier to have the perfect day. All their staff was friendly and professional, communication was spot on and all the added extras were amazing. 1) Rectory farm is just beautiful, we had a gorgeous outdoor wedding but even if the weather turned they were ready with the back up plan. 2) Booking, Accommodation, table and chairs was all simple….. they walked us through, discussed what we had in mind, numbers and all the different ways it could be set up. Come the actual day and they had it all sorted. 3) Recommendations, there are so many companies vying for your business and Roger and Alison were there with companies they have worked with and those local to the area. We actual booked a caterer they recommended and nearly a year down the line I am handing out there details to family and friends. The food was spot on. A massive thank you to Rectory Farm for giving us the perfect day and making the planning easy and fun.

Beautiful Gardens
We chose Rectory Farm for the setting for our summer wedding for many reasons. The house and chalets are maticulously kept and the beautiful garden provided a perfect backdrop for our wedding photographs. We wanted to be married outside and the Folly provided a perfect place for us to say our vows and sign the wedding register. In the smaller marquee, we received our guests, ate our canapés and drank champagne. The larger marquee provided a perfect setting for the remainder of our wedding
