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.

Our wedding day was everything we imagined and more, we really can’t thank Rackleys enough for everything! From the moment we viewed Rackleys and met Lucy, we knew it was the venue for us. Lucy went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process including on the big day, nothing was to much trouble! Everything ran so smoothly and the every single member of the team were so polite and attentive! They’re a credit to Rackleys! If you’re looking for a venue we would 1000% recommend Rackleys

The perfect wedding day at Rackleys

How lucky we feel to have had the perfect wedding day at Rackleys. The barn and grounds are so beautiful and really speak for themselves. We knew as soon as we saw the venue it was the one for us, but what makes Rackleys so special is the staff. We knew from the moment we met Lucy that we would be in safe hands but also have a lot of fun along the way! Lucy, Steph and every single member of the team are so hard working, attentive and caring. Everything was so seamless.
