From the start, Caroline & Mick knew they wanted a country barn-style wedding venue, ideally with accommodation for close relatives to stay overnight. Many venues local to their home town, Beaconsfield, had hosted weddings for friends and family, so they wanted to explore somewhere completely different. They set a radius of an hour and a half to begin their search. They came across Cain Manor via Google, and simply fell in love with it as soon as they arrived at the top of the winding driveway, for their first viewing.

“The house is just so eclectic, quirky, breath-taking from the outside and warm, intimate, prestigious on the inside.” – Caroline

Being over an hour away from their home town, Caroline and Mick wanted to avoid any issues with transportation, so they hired buses to take guests to Cain Manor. As a couple in their 50’s, getting married for the second time, they love the idea of buses for ease, which “were vintage like ourselves” Caroline says.

Due to the pandemic the couple moved their wedding date three times. Regardless of the restrictions in place at the time, the wedding came together beautifully and met all their expectations. The sun shone, the drinks flowed, the music played, and the speeches brought both tears and laughter.

“I literally beamed from ear to ear the whole day and all our friends and family just felt the joy in the room from the beginning. Can I please also give a shout out for the food – it was truly the best wedding food we have ever eaten.” – Caroline
