"...the most beautiful venue I’ve had the pleasure of being in..."

We had our wedding here on 16.09.23 and it’s the most beautiful venue I’ve had the pleasure of being in. From start to finish, Kirsty and her team made everything so smooth and easy! Kirsty was there to answer questions from the minute you booked to the minute you walked down the aisle. She was fantastic. The day before the ceremony we were able to go and set up the venue however we wanted, Kirsty and her team (Gabi & Jess) we’re making final preparations while we were there and we felt almost like a little family. The day of the wedding, Kirsty could not have been more helpful. She held my dress so it didn’t get stuck on anything, took lots of photos for us and was silently in the background making sure everything went as smooth as possible. I can’t thank Kirsty and the team at Farthingloe Barn enough for such an incredible day and I would highly highly recommend this venue to get married. Truly worth every penny. Love, a very happy Bride x

From taking candid pictures to always being avaialble to answer any questions and queries leading up to the day nothing is too much trouble.

"...nothing was too much trouble.."

I had my wedding reception here in June. The wedding was quite last minute and only booked in the late February. Kirsty was brilliant from the very first email I sent her enquiring. She followed this right through until after the event. She went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. From helping us organise and putting us in touch with various companies, chatting to guests and making them feel welcome, taking photos of the night (which she sent to us the following day) to going round at through the evening putting blankets on the children attending that had fallen asleep. She made everything so easy and chilled out which was exactly the vibe we wanted. The bar was run by mat butler who works along side Kirsty and he was also brilliant. The barn itself was absolutely beautiful, a real hidden gem. Several of my guests said they would use it for future events. It’s so beautifully presented and well maintained. From start to finish we had absolutely no problems and it was a dream come true. We wish we could do it all over again and that’s thanks to Kirsty and her team 🥰

We are so so thankful that we got to have our special day with you.

Kirsty, Toby and I cannot thank you enough. I wish we could just get married here every year! We were in love with the venue from the moment we first set eyes on it. Nothing was ever too much trouble for you. You checked in with us the whole way. We feel like we’ve made a friend in you. We are so so thankful that we got to have our special day with you. From helping with the set up to standing out in the pouring rain at midnight getting pizza for our guests, you were flawless!! We’ve had so many compliments on the barn and how it was the most amazing wedding this was all down to you. Cannot sing your praises enough, everyone get married here, have your parties, whatever excuse you can find, just do it!!

Wow!!!

Firstly this venue is an absolute hidden gem! Not many of my guest even knew it was there so made our day even more special and it blew them away with its caracter, charm and twinkle lights. Not only was the venue stunning but so is kirsty she was a superwomen who went above and beyond. Everything went off so smoothly without a hitch. She was everywhere and somewhere without being seen. Even at the end of the evening making hot chocolate for the kids to take home and handing out blankets….
