One event a day. The place is yours.
A restored timber hall with a glass garden room and a terrace over the fields, ten minutes south of Cambridge. Type a date and see whether it is open, and what it costs.
The rooms
A hall, a garden room, a terrace and the night
Everything here is yours for the day. The food, the drink, the flowers and the music are yours to choose, and we will share the names we trust.
The hall
A restored timber barn with the original beams, 180 seated for dinner, a chandelier lighting plan and a floor that has had a lot of dancing.
The garden room
Glass on three sides, ceremonies to 140 with the fields behind you, and warm in April and October both.
The terrace
Over the fields, facing west. Sunset photographs May to October, and the quiet hour between dinner and the band.
After dark
Fairy lights along the lane, the fire pits lit at nine, and the last song at 12:45 so the neighbours stay our friends.
One event a day
Nobody before you and nobody after. Set up from 10 a.m., the bridal suite from the morning, and the hall is yours until 1 a.m.
Your suppliers
Bring your own caterer, florist and band, or take the names we trust. Every price on this site is the venue and nothing else.

Questions
Before you book
Can we bring our own caterer?
Yes, and most people do. The kitchen is a finishing kitchen with a walk-in fridge, and we have a short list of caterers who know it; you are welcome to use anyone insured. There is no corkage on wine you bring.
Is the ceremony outside?
It can be, on the terrace facing the fields, with the garden room as the plan if it rains. Both are set for the same ceremony, so the decision can wait until the morning.
What time does the music stop?
The last song is at 12:45 and the hall is yours until 1 a.m. The lane is lit until the last car leaves, and we have three taxi firms on the board.
How long do you hold a date?
Seven days after a viewing, free. The deposit to confirm is 25% of the venue hire, and the balance is due a month before the day.
Is any of this real?
No. The Oakline Hall is a fictional venue built as a concept demo by The Nerd Next Door. The rooms are drawn in code, the dates, the prices and the names are invented, and nothing on this page books, checks or sends.
Come and stand in the hall
Viewings Thursday to Saturday, by appointment. Half an hour, the rooms as they will be, and a date held for seven days after.
