- SSarah & Tom09/03/2025Everything we dreamed of Everything we dreamed ofFrom the moment we viewed Barnfield and met Patsy, we knew we'd found the perfect place to get married. Having found this gorgeous venue on Instagram months before, we fell in love with the lake and the grounds on our first visit. It really is the most beautiful location and the reality definitely lives up to the stunning pictures online. Patsy and her family were the easiest people to plan a wedding with ever, and we loved sharing our plans with them - however big or small - and hearing their excitement too. There was no request too big or too small - Patsy always did everything she could to help us build our dream day. You can tell how much the whole family cares about their wedding parties. We can't recommend Barnfield enough - and our photos are a testament to the dreamiest days of our lives. Every detail we'd planned came to life, and we couldn't have wished for anything more. From settling our caterers in, shuttling guests (even driving me to the aisle!), building a fireside chillout area, helping dress the venue and recommending excellent suppliers - the team had a huge hand in making our day so special, and run like clockwork. Barnfield also has a number of cottages on site, where you can arrange to stay ahead of and after the big day. This really added to the experience for us, we loved being so close by. Patsy is the most thoughtful host, even staying in touch since our big day. We know everyone who books a wedding here will be absolutely delighted by the experience.From the moment we viewed Barnfield and met Patsy, we knew we'd found the perfect place to get married.
