This place is absolutely dreamy !! Our wedding at South Farm was nothing short of magical. The venue’s gardens are breathtaking, with beautifully manicured lawns, vibrant flowers, and enchanting pathways that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff at South Farm went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for our happiness made us feel so special and relaxed. Every aspect of the venue is meticulously maintained and exudes elegance and charm. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the picturesque setting, fantastic food and the seamless flow of the day.

From our initial enquiry, first visit, menu tasting, the wedding, and all the way through to post wedding communication, South Farm were exceptional! Their hospitality and customer service were undeniably the best we’ve ever experienced. Our wedding was the best day of our lives. It was so good that we have even received thank you cards and messages from our guests for an incredible day and memories that will last a lifetime. It was perfect. All of the team are outstanding but a special thank you goes to Evie, our wedding day event manager. She made our day seamless. This venue is award winning for a reason. The venue is beautiful, the food is mouth-wateringly delicious and the hospitality is first class. We can’t express our gratitude nearly enough. It was the best day ever! Thank you South Farm.

We strongly recommend South Farm - we fell in love with it the first day we visited, and we honestly could not have chosen a better venue in which to celebrate our big day. The staff were absolute heroes, the food was unbelievably delicious and the entire day went by flawlessly.

South Farm is an amazing venue. The staff were fantastic and so accommodating. The food was brilliant, accommodation excellent and the buildings and grounds are beautiful. We knew on our first visit that it was where we wanted to get married - we didn’t even look anywhere else!

We couldn’t be more full of gratitude and appreciation to South Farm for hosting our perfect wedding day a year ago today on 28th May 2023. All the staff were absolutely incredible and hugely supportive throughout the entire process. From our first visit, to the food tasting evening and right through to our wedding breakfast, they went above and beyond to make our day truly special and uniquely ours. Hayley was our wedding planner on the day and she was exceptional. From reassuring us, making sure everything ran seamlessly and letting the day flow naturally, she made us feel relaxed and present in the moment which enabled us to just enjoy ourselves! We have had so many compliments from our guests on what a fantastic time they had, how beautiful the venue and gardens were, and how delicious the food was. South Farm is a truly magical venue and it created a stunning backdrop for our day of love and celebration! We couldn’t have asked for anything more and couldn’t be happier. We just wish we could do it all over again! Thank you so much South Farm for making our day so special and memorable! Lizzie and Sam D 28.05.23

Questions?Need to know...

There’s so much to consider when it comes to choosing a Cambridge wedding venue and planning your special day. We’ve been hosting weddings in our countryside wedding venue since 2005 so we’ve put together a handy list of FAQ’s to help answer some of the questions you may have. If you are interested in holding your wedding at South Farm and have any questions about our civil wedding venue or your big day then please get in touch – we’d love to talk weddings with you!

What does your venue hire include?

Our venue hire fee includes use of South Farm for the duration of your event plus all the extras you need….tables, chairs, crockery, glasses, table linen and all our twinkly fairy lights throughout the venue so you don’t have to worry about hiring additional items in. There are also lots of extras we provide, included in the venue hire, to make your day seamless and unique, sound systems in all our ceremony spaces, microphones for speeches and even bio-degradable South Farm rose petal confetti! You will have a dedicated, experienced Event Manager and a friendly and professional Front of House team on hand to look after you, your guests, your suppliers and all the little details so that you can relax and just enjoy your day at our wedding venue in Hertfordshire!

How accessible is South Farm?

Although we are set in the countryside our outdoor wedding venue in Cambridgeshire is fully accessible with paving and pathways around the whole venue and everything on ground floor level. The entrance door into the main farmhouse and French windows out onto the terrace have small thresholds to get over but we have ramps which can be put out on arrival – just let us know that these are required at your Planning Meeting. We also have a rest room with disabled access in the Horse Barn. Accommodation-wise our most accessibly friendly bedroom on site is the Tack Room, this is located near to the Tudor Barn and has a walk in shower and hand rail next to the toilet. At Fen Bridge Farm, our sister B&B down the road, there is fully accessible disabled accommodation for two. Our wedding venue near Royston is also easily accessible from nearby areas by road or rail.

I love the idea of an outdoor ceremony but what if it rains on the day?

We know many couples are interested in a winter wedding venue, which is why we always ask couples who would like to get married outside (March to October only) to choose an indoor option as well.  This gives a contingency in case of wet or windy weather and maximum flexibility.  We usually prepare both indoor and outdoor ceremony areas allowing for a last minute decision to be made.  The Registrars do have the final say on proceeding with an outdoor ceremony if the weather is changeable.
