We want you to look and feel your absolute best for our big day! The dress code on the invitation states cocktail attire: you can't go wrong with a suit, shirt and tie with dress pants, as well as formal dresses or elegant jumpsuits!
Keep in mind it is a winter wedding so coats and shawls may be wise for transitions between buildings. That said, all of the wedding events will be held indoors (except perhaps for the occasional group shot outside).
What time should I arrive at your wedding ceremony?
Please arrive promptly at 11:30am so that the ceremony can start on time at 12 noon.
Will there be a time gap between the wedding ceremony and reception?
Yes, there will be about an hour gap between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast (reception dinner) so that we can take some snaps with our wonderful photographer, Tom. Refreshments will be available in the Moat Barn while you catch up with family and friends and you should definitely take the opportunity to peruse the wedding photos from family members displayed on the central table!
Will there be a bar open during the festivities?
Yes! Please bring a debit or credit card as Bassmead Manor Barns operates a cashless bar.
What type of food will be served at the wedding?
We'll be serving hors d'oeuvres at the drinks reception immediately after the ceremony, followed by a delicious three-course sit-down dinner.
Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?
Absolutely! Please get in touch if you want to double check that we already have your dietary restrictions to guarantee you are well-catered for during the dinner. There will also be gluten free and dairy-free wedding cakes!
Is there a wedding registry we can access?
Although your presence at our wedding is gift enough, if you would like to contribute to our honeymoon fund, please check the details listed on the Honeymoon Fund page of this website.
Where should I bring/send a wedding gift?
Again, your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honour us with a gift, you can have it delivered to our home at The Limes CB25 9FR.
A wedding card box will be at our reception if you want to write us a special note :)
Am I allowed to take photos during the wedding?
Unfortunately, the Registrar requests that no photographs are to be taken during the ceremony with the exception of our professional wedding photographer, Tom.
After the ceremony is over, please feel free to take as many photos as you would like... even better if you share them with us here:

Can I post wedding photos on social media?
Absolutely! Please tag us!!
What time will the wedding reception end?
Last orders at the bar will be at 11:15pm before it closes at 11:30pm. The venue will close at midnight.
