The perfect backdrop for capturing your day

Rackleys is a truly enchanting wedding venue nestled in the picturesque Chiltern Hills. The combination of a lovingly restored traditional farm, centred around a light and airy barn with vaulted ceilings, exposed brick and rustic beams complement lovingly tended gardens and grounds.

Thank you, Rackleys, for making our dream wedding

I don’t even know where to start with this review; trying to put into words how phenomenal our wedding day was is not going to be easy. From the moment we first visited Rackleys, we knew it was the one. As soon as we drove into the car park, we were struck by the meticulous attention to detail in maintaining the stunning grounds. I remember turning to my wife and saying, “This is it,” and we hadn’t even walked through the doors yet! By the end of our tour, we were absolutely certain.
