About Minstrel Court

There's something magic about all wedding venues, but take a look around Minstrel Court and it'll take your breath away just that little bit more. This beautiful, countryside venue in Cambridge has years of experience, a passionate team and a whopping nine spaces for couples to explore and curate their perfect day. 

Imagined your day in a rustic barn? Yep, Minstrel Court has one of those. Love the idea of saying 'I do' in a light-filled orangery? They've got you covered. Hoping to tie the knot outside, surrounded by manicured lawns? You guessed it, Minstel Court strikes again. Seriously, between lake-side pavillion, outdoor marquee, stylish bar and the Starlit Hall, it really feels like there's no vision Minstrel Court can't bring to life. 

Generally, couples use several spaces to create a flow for their day. For example, The Orangery has capacity for 130 people and makes for a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony. Not only does it boast views out to the Wimpole Meadows, it also has a stained glass roof and windows and rustic wooden beams, all of which is completely covered and not weather dependant. 

If you are hoping for sunny skies, the lake pavillion is a gorgeous ceremony option for the summer, although its fold-up glass windows means it's suitable come rain or shine. This space has a capacity of 150 but can be re-worked for any number, no matter how intimate. Its white structure makes it an ideal backdrop for a paired-back aesthetic, or consider it a blank canvas for your own ideas. 

If planning a sit-down dinner, the listed Tudor barn, built in 1810, is perfect for a banquet with your loved ones. To make things easier, Minstel Barn has developed three wedding packages to suit your tastes and budget. Here, you can select whether to enjoy canapes, a three-course meal and evening food, too. But, if you'd rather sip straight onto dancing, The Bar or Starlit Hall are great places to socialise and shake a tail feather.
