Venue Information

St Mary’s Church is located in Buckden, where Tom was born and grew up.  He has fond memories of this church, watching Kaz ringing bells on Christmas day, the wedding of his sister Ingrid and more recently the wedding of his good friends Dave and Kim. 

South Farm is approximately 35 mins away from the church and we fell in love with it immediately (and we did view 22 venues in total!) It is an enchanting and distinctly different venue.  Now a working ‘eco friendly’ family farm, the house and barn dates back to the Tudor times of the 16th Century.

Tom & Helens Gift List (30527)


If you would rather a more traditional gift, then we would really love John Lewis, Marks and Spencer or Debenhams vouchers so that we can continue to make our home look beautiful!  

Song Suggestions

In the evening we will be having a Disco as the main entertainment.  If you have any ideas for songs you would like to hear, then head to the bottom of this site and tell us what they are in the Forum.  Or just leave them as comments on this post.  (you will have to sign in using a google account, or similar).

For those of you familiar with our taste in music, this is your chance to save yourself from Bon Jovi and Britney Spears!

The morning after Breakfast at South Farm

For those that are staying at South Farm, a full English breakfast is included.  If you are not staying at South Farm, but wish to join us for breakfast, this can be arranged.  It will cost £10, and can be arranged by emailing us to wedding@elliotts.eu.

We'd love to see as many of you there as possible to see us off on our Honeymoon!

Dietary Requirements

Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements on the RSVP.  There is a choice of Children’s menus and we’ll be in touch with those of you for which this is relevant.
