Wimpole Estate
Your special day
With an emphasis on grandeur, style and individuality, Wimpole
Estate is the perfect place for your special day.
The Hall is an ideal venue for your wedding ceremony and reception
as it was designed with entertaining in mind.
GKstudios
During its heyday the 2nd Earl of Oxford, Lord Harley, entertained a
glittering circle of writers, musicians and artists here.
Today you can entertain in the same sumptuous style, an experience
that your guests will never forget.

Wimpole Hall
Civil ceremonies are held in the opulent Saloon or Grand Dining
Room, perhaps with a drinks reception in the main Entrance Hall
or Saloon.
Wimpole provides the perfect setting for wedding photographs,
providing an elegant and impressive backdrop for all those
special memories.
GKstudios
Our team of friendly and experienced staff will help
you to plan every detail of your special occasion. Our
emphasis is on high quality service individuality, fine
dining and attention to detail.

Marquee in the Garden
Why not have your reception in an exclusive marquee by the Parterre.
It will open out onto beautiful parkland which can accommodate larger
parties, ideal for dancing the night away.

Old Rectory Restaurant
The Old Rectory at Wimpole is a beautiful
building, ideal for a smaller wedding reception
and it allows you to dance the night away after
your wedding breakfast. The Rectory’s French
doors open out from the main room onto the
terrace and overlook the garden and a great
place together with friends and family.
Great Barn
GKstudios
The Great Barn is a more rustic setting at Wimpole, but can look stunning
set for a wedding reception with trestle tables and benches stretching
along its length and plenty of space for the barn dancing later.

Alex Bright Photography
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re planning your wedding
day. So firstly, let me say congratulations!
Whether you’re planning a large event with hundreds of guests,
or just a small gathering with a few close friends and family, I
will capture your day as it unfolds. I will provide you with a set of
images that, when you look back upon them in years to come, will
bring back all the memories, emotions, sights and sounds of your
special celebration.
My style is unobtrusive and, although I will be with you throughout
the day, I keep a low profile. My approach is very hands-off as this
gives me the chance to capture you, your family and friends in the
most natural way.
I do, however, like to set aside time for group photographs and
those all-important full-length shots of the happy couple. These are
kept to a minimum though, so you can devote your time to simply
enjoying your day.
I believe it is important for you to meet your photographer before
making the final decision, and that is why I like to get together with
you for an initial, no-obligation chat. It also gives me the chance to
find out more about you, and your hopes and plans for your big day.

It’s the best day of your life and you don’t want to compromise.
But you also want to get the most out of your budget. That’s
where we come in…
From beautifully traditional days to circus-themed extravaganzas
our clients’ wedding wishes have come true. We like to think of
ourselves as their wedding Fairy Godmother! Whether you are
in the early planning stages looking for inspiration or just need
those final finishing touches, we are here to help.
Our extensive services include venue décor, discos, PA, lighting,
entertainment, chocolate fountains and other treats.
We have plenty of ideas on how to dress your venue, no matter
what kind of space you are using. We are sympathetic to the
origins of the venue and we specialise in dressing period and
sensitive buildings, interior and exterior.
Our popular disco caters for all music tastes and our DJs will
happily play requests. For that extra edge we also provide a
wide range of entertainment including magicians, mime artists,
dancers, musicians and circus acts. Children’s entertainers can
keep your young guests amused during the wedding breakfast
and speeches. Lighting is another of our specialities, along
with top class PA systems for those all important speeches. Our
feedback is only glowing!
As if that isn’t enough, why not treat your guests to a chocolate
fountain, candy floss, popcorn or even ice cream served from an
original 1920’s ice cream bike?
Sprinkle some Bondini magic on your special day!
