What a thrilling honour to be the first wedding at this knock-out venue! Thank you sooooooo much to Blackbrook Barns and their team for our superb and beautiful wedding! Mark and I will forever have the most wonderful memories of our special day because of the care and attention shown to us from the first day of contacting this fabulous venue. Pete, Rebecca and their fantastic team were an absolute delight to work with and meticulously managed everything behind the scenes, allowing Mark and I to simply enjoy our day and soak it all in. We felt totally spoiled!
What really appealed to us about Blackbrook Barns was its immaculate yet full of charm design, which all our guests loved too. We couldn’t help but notice that the owners of this venue have thoughtfully planned out the use of a variety of beautiful spaces - and we were so fortunate to be the first to enjoy them! My bridesmaids and I had exclusive use of the bridal suite which was pure luxury and tastefully decorated from floor to ceiling. Being in such an elegant calm setting the morning of my wedding allowed me to relax and enjoy the bustling preparations, and on top of that, the bridal suite made for some absolutely gorgeous pre-ceremony photos.
We loved the courtyards too - they're beautifully landscaped, ideal for a drinks reception, with some very charming woodlands around the back - all available for our guests to enjoy. We're so thankful to Rebecca Kelly music for elevating our drinks reception with utterly gorgeous acoustic vocals and music as our guests mingled.
It surprised us just how endless the photo opportunities are at this stunning venue, and we certainly got some great wedding shots. So our top tip is to save some energy for photos on the day, as you'll want to capture as many as possible in this beautiful setting. I personally loved the festoon lit bridge leading to the woodlands, which made for some of my favourite photos.
Rebecca expertly coordinated our wedding and had all details covered. Mark and I agreed that the most important day of our lives was in very capable hands. Rebecca helpfully talked us through our options and made high quality supplier suggestions, all of whom were extremely professional and we'd whole-heartedly recommend them. It's also unusual that a wedding venue has a florist, make-up artist and hair stylist on site too - not only did they provide an outstanding service each time, but they also were a dream to work with and knew the venue well, which took a lot of the complication out of the planning. We really loved Rebecca's energy and passion for making our wedding just the way we had dreamed - thank you so much Rebecca!
If we could go back, we wouldn't change anything. We love our charming rustic barn wedding reception. Weeks later we are still pouring over our photos and re-living the excitement of the day. Pete and Rebecca got the formula right for this amazing venue and lead-up to the event, which have left us with only the fondest of memories. For us, this was an exceptional wedding that exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier that Blackbrook Barns was available for our big day.
