Immerse yourself in the picture-perfect elegance of Curradine Barns, a serene and secluded 19th-century venue nestled in Shrawley, in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside. This enchanting setting is exclusively yours from midday to midnight, providing the ideal backdrop for a magical celebration. In this exclusive feature, we chat with the venue’s expert General Manager, Laura Moseley, to get the lowdown on what makes this venue so dreamy.
Highlights of the venue
Laura explains the venue’s standout features: “Who wouldn’t love to have a barn they can call their own for a day? Curradine Barns is perfectly nestled in the beautiful surroundings of Shrawley, yet still within good proximity of Worcester city centre. The venue is steeped in history, and the modern additions to Curradine give a real sense of old meets new, while the versatility of the venue allows us to host both intimate and larger events. Curradine’s standout features also include our beautiful grounds – every corner of the venue is adorned in colour and foliage, which make for the perfect backdrop for photographs.”

Memorable moments at Curradine Barns
Laura came into the wedding world after applying for a post-uni summer job as a waitress at one of Curradine Barn’s sister venues: “I fell in love with every aspect of being a part of someone’s special day: food, drink, decor, outfits and seeing couples surrounded by their nearest and dearest.”
“As this was my first involvement with the hospitality industry, I went away and joined a team at an independent, family-run hotel and gained the foundations of my hospitality experience from here. I then rejoined the business in 2018 as an Events Manager, and have continued to grow in my career.”
“What I love most about my job is building a relationship with our couples and seeing their journey through to the very end.”
Expert advice from The Pear Tree
Laura’s top tip for couples planning their wedding is wonderfully simple but often overlooked: “My expert advice is to find the joys in all the planning as well as on the day. There will be things that happen which are out of your control – it’s inevitable – but this should not take over the bigger picture of being surrounded by those who love you and marrying your soulmate.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves here at Bridebook! Your wedding journey runs from the planning to the big day itself, and you should absolutely enjoy every moment!”
