About Rackleys Chiltern Hills

Set within seven acres of beautifully landscaped gardens in the heart of the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Rackleys Chiltern Hills is a stunning countryside wedding venue offering an exclusive-use barn for unforgettable celebrations. Lovingly restored, and licensed for civil ceremonies this wedding barn combines rustic charm with contemporary elegance and a spacious open-plan layout with vaulted oak beams, perfect for capturing every moment of your special day.

Civil ceremonies take place in the barn, and couples can also work with the dedicated event team and the Absolute Cuisine catering team to shape how the day flows from ceremony through to wedding breakfast and evening reception. A courtyard and lawn area extend the barn space, with garden furniture and a wildflower meadow beyond, creating outdoor space for mingling or photos. From the early morning preparations through to the dinner and speeches, couples have exclusive use of the venue and grounds.

For couples and guests who wish to stay on site, Rackleys Farmhouse sits in the courtyard and dates back to the 1730s. It comprises six individually designed en-suite bedrooms arranged for up to twelve adults, all with super king-sized beds and one room equipped for guests with mobility needs, and includes a communal breakfast area. Practical arrangements, such as car parking for around 64 cars and heating and air conditioning throughout the barn, are included in the venue hire.
