• Access to water
• An acre of space within an four-acre plot (to be discussed on viewing)
• Separate car parking
• A site manager to greet your vendors so you can focus on getting ready
• Help and advice in booking vendors and more, just ask!

What you need to provide in order to hire the field for an event

• Tens License
• Insurance
• As well as your marquee etc but we can help you with all that!

How to get married at Bridge Meadows

We are not currently licensed. This means you can’t get legally married in the middle of our field (or most fields for that matter). But that doesn’t mean your marquee wedding dreams have gone up in smoke.

Here are some potential options for you instead.

Option 1

You opt for a private ceremony at a Registry Office. This is when just the bridge, groom and two witnesses go to a council building to do the “legal bit” normally limited to set weekdays. See information here from Lincolnshire Council, Peterborough Council and Cambridge Council.

Then on a (separate) day you can hold the wedding of your dreams with a celebrant ceremony in front of your guests and a reception all here at Bridge Meadows.

Option 2

You and all your guests visit a local Registry Office for a full ceremony or a Church for a religious ceremony. Then hold your reception here at Bridge Meadows in a Marquee.

Option 3

You just throw a big ceremony-less party here at Bridge Meadows. Whether you get married privately (like option 1) and choose to celebrate with all your friends and family or if you just want to celebrate a commitment without legalities that is up to you!

Bridge Meadows FAQ

How long can I provisionally hold a date for?

We can hold your date provisionally for 2 weeks between when you visit and booking. During this time other couples will be placed onto a wait list system to be contacted at the 2 week cutoff.

How many guests can you accommodate?

This depends on what size marquee you book but our site and car parking can happily accommodate 100-150 guests.

Is the Venue licensed for Civil Ceremonies

No, not at this time

Is the hire exclusive?

Yes! The field is all yours for the weekend.

Who will be the point of contact?

Alex will be your point of contact in the lead-up to the day as well as being your site manager.

But there are other members of the team you may have contact with too.

Do I have to use set suppliers?

No you don’t but we will retain some vito rights over vendors. We also have a list of recommended suppliers.

Do you have accommodation on site?

No, sorry

Is there enough parking for all guests?

Yes, we have plenty of off road parking

What time can we access the venue?

With the party package, you can access the site from Thursday to Monday, within the hours of 8am to 10pm (with the wedding day extended to midnight) unless prearranged.

Are there areas for both of us to get ready in?

Unfortunately not, but there are plenty of options such as popping up a gazebo or two!

What is the changeover plan from Ceremony to Reception?

As it is a marquee wedding it is up to you where you host each section. Some people enjoy an outside ceremony. Others want the marquee company to provide a divider. Or you could want to totally change the inside of the marquee whilst guests mingle outside.

If you want help with changeovers this can be arranged with our additional Wedding Day Co-ordinator Service.

How flexible are you with the timings of the day?

Pretty flexible!

A venue like ours can pretty much be entirely personalised for you! Which is a big benefit over a venue such as a hotel. Get in touch to find out more.

Are there any decor restrictions?

Mostly these depend on your Marquee company’s restrictions.

However we have a few such as

• only biodegradable confetti to be used
• no Sky Lanterns or Chinese Lantern releases (it so bad for local wildlife)
• no balloon releases (again we are in a rural location and this is so bad for local wildlife)
• nothing including animal cruelty in general

Are fireworks/confetti allowed?

Biodegradable confetti is fine

Fireworks will need to be discussed on a case-by-case basis, but for example things such as sparklers (disposed of safely) should be fine.

Can we bring our own alcohol?

Yes, as a DIY venue this is up to you. If you don’t feel like filling in forms we recommend a full bar service otherwise you will need a TENs License.

Don’t forget the toilets too!

Can you accommodate a live band or DJ? When can they set up?

Yes, this is fine! They can set up whenever fits your schedule

Electric is provided to the field. But we don’t provide any sort of extension leads etc.

Do you have disabled access?

Disabled access and accessibilty for your guests is important to consider. First of all remember what we are providing is a field which can of course be affected by weather. Secondly consider the needs of your guests when in contact with the marquee and toilet rental companies.

How many toilets are there?

There are no toilets on site for guests to use. These need to be hired by the customer. We can recommend some local options. Remember to hire the appropriate facilities for your guests.

How much will the initial deposit be and when is final payment due?

• A 25% Non-refundable deposit will be taken to confirm the dates
• Another 25% is due 3 months before the event
• The final 50% is due a calendar month before the big day.

Each payment is non refundable as per our cancellation policy

Last minute bookings will be charged 100% on bookings

We do not currently charge VAT

What is your cancellation Policy?

If the customer cancels the booking the original booking fee is non refundable. If it is less than 3 months before the event then 50% of the final amount will be retained. Or if it its less than a month 100% of the booking total will be retained.

In the unlikely event that we, the venue, cancels then refunds will be on a case by case basis. For example client breaking payment terms or breaking other agreements.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes we do. You will also need wedding and marquee insurance.

We will need to see proof of insurance before the 3 month mark to progress with your booking.
