Faultless <3
From the moment I (Bride) arrived on site, I was immediately welcomed by Rachel & felt excited for my day! Rachel checked in with me and my bridal party regularly across the morning, asking if there was anything I needed from helping to hang my wedding dress up to asking if we were warm enough. I felt so well looked after and nothing was too much of an ask.
I (Bride) over heard a member of the THB team walk into the Wedding Breakfast area and compliment how it had been styled (this lovely team member had no idea I was around the corner, making a little tweak to our guestbook - whilst I had a moment). I shouted through, "Thanks!" and she immediately came through to chat to me. I explained that pretty much all of our decór was reused, recycled and pre-loved and that our aim was to make it as personalised and creative as possible. She couldnt believe it and said that you would never know as everything looked stunning. (I cant remember this lovely team member's name, I have tried looking for it on the website).
As the morning continued our wedding planner, G came to the getting ready room and gushed in to give me (Bride) a hug! G needs a different review of her own, as from the moment me and my husband met her she has been nothing but perfect! Not just a wedding planner, but a friend we so want to keep in touch with <3
G continously checked in with me (Bride) in the getting ready room and my now Husband in the outdoor ceremony area, making sure we were OK and keeping us both up to speed with what was going on, timings and next steps.
With us choosing to get married in Spring in April we always knew it was going to be touch - and - go with the weather so trying to decide an indoor or outdoor ceremony was hard. In the end, we took the gamble and went outside and despite the tiniest little shower... we were so pleased we took the gamble! The sun broke out immediately after the ceremony and we got some of the best photographs!
At no point in the morning did I ever feel rushed, it was the most relaxed getting ready morning ever... to the point that I just wanted to get down the aisle! Haha!
Even the ease of our personal belongings going from the getting ready room to the Farmhouse was diligent - all my belongings were in my room later that evening. My phone, which I hadn't seen all morning, was then at my place at our sweet heart table during the wedding breakfast, a - maze - ing!
The whole ceremony... in fact, entire day was seamless. G, stood waiting at the end of the aisle with a glass of fizz for me (Bride) and a beer for my husband, wearing the biggest smile! We stood and got our posed for photographs out of the way (not quite realising how many we had planned for) and again, gorgeous G brought over 2 of each of our canapés directly to us and stood and passed them to us to eat in-between our photos... I couldn't believe how thoughtful this was <3
We were able to check our wedding breakfast area before our guests and were able to sneak off and have 5 quiet minutes to ourselves, before we were welcomed in again as the new Mr and Mrs. These 5 quiet minutes were so special... sitting down, catching up and rehydrating with some water.
Wedding breakfast meal, again, faultless. The THB team were so attentive to everyones needs, ensuring drink buckets were replenished and that all our guests had everything that they needed. Serving was meticulous <3 ALL of our wedding guests spoke so highly of the food that they had had, that it was beautiful and... they were stuffed!
Throughout the rest of the day we continued to be looked after, changing from my heels into my wedding converse for more comfort. Everyone was able to order any drink that they fancied from the bar and the team at the bar were so polite and attentive. Our announcement for our first dance was perfect.
At the end of the evening when nearly all of our guests had left, we went to get our letter box and Sophie, a THB team member informed me that it had been locked away in the offices over night... this is exactly what we wanted to hear... they were always 10 steps ahead <3
Any mis-laid belongings (umbrellas etc) had been put together and we were not made to feel that we needed to leave. In fact my now Husband and I were able to enjoy a few extra songs with our farm house and glamping pod crew before heading to bed.
Farm house... is a home away from home. It was beyond clean, warm and inviting with such an eye for detail and small touches. Again, all of our wedding party staying in these could not fault it... with one of our guests (who is a new mummy of just 7 weeks) said it was the best nights sleep she has had in 7 weeks! Diane looked after us in the morning and explained where everything was in the kitchen and how to operate the different appliances... even which setting was recommended for the perfect toasting shade for our toast! Diane explained where all of our belongings were and the process of getting everything off site. But again, in an informative way and not once felt like we needed to rush and go.
Breakfast was absolutely delicious with all dietary requirements catered for.
As we left Tower Hill Barns Diane came out with a bottle of bubbly and a card... congratulating us on our big day and welcoming us to the Tower Hill Barns Family... explaining that we can come back anytime - even in years to come if we are ever just passing through.
Tower Hill Barns family, you are all absolutely incredible at what you do - you helped make our day perfect. We dont know how we can ever thank you enough... Tower Hill Barns will always have a special place in our hearts <3

Ps. G... where do we even begin. Dont change! You are incredible... you were the other bridesmaid I didnt realise I needed. So professional, yet so relatable, so knowledgeable & accomodating. You are always so cool, calm... and happy! From the moment we first met you completely got our vibe and supported us step by step to help us achieve our vision. Nothing was too much to ask, so efficient at replying to our emails and even though we live over 130 miles away from the venue we felt like everything was always all under control... even going on a video call and meeting your gorgeous dog Teddy. Over our time with you, you became more than just a wedding planner but a friend we truely want to keep in touch with you. G... from the bottom of our hearts, Thank You for absolutely everything. You are an absolute gem... the sparkle at Tower Hill Barns. We love you <3
Pps. We can not forget about Julie... her attention to detail, her thought and care as to how the wedding breakfast table should be laid out was out of this world... it was just easy because of you - thank you so much.
