Ella & James

The beautiful Summer's day wedding of Ella & James at Cogges Manor Farm in Witney.

A summer wedding a Cogges Manor Farm in Witney, Cotswolds, is the epitome of rustic charm and countryside elegance. Nestled in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside, this historic venue, with its 17th-century stone barns, blooming gardens, and idyllic orchards, creates a magical setting for a romantic celebration.

The day begins with guests arriving at the picturesque farm, greeted by the warm scent of lavender and wildflowers. Couples can exchange vows in the Wheat Barn, with its exposed wooden beams and soft fairy lights, offers a rustic yet intimate indoor option.

After the "I dos," guests enjoy a relaxed drinks reception in the orchard, sipping on chilled Pimms or elderflower spritzes while grazing on artisan canapés. The farm’s friendly resident animals, including sheep and hens, add a charming countryside touch.

As the sun begins to set, festoon lights twinkle overhead, and a live folk band or acoustic duo fills the air with melodies. The dance floor comes alive under the beams of the barn, while guests who prefer a quieter moment retreat to fire pits outside, roasting marshmallows under the stars.

A summer wedding at Cogges Manor Farm is the perfect blend of relaxed elegance and rustic charm, offering a timeless, heartfelt celebration in one of the most picturesque locations in the Cotswolds.
