Our wedding at Grange Barn was honestly nothing short of perfection. It was the only venue we visited, because we felt from online there was nothing else like it. When we went to view with Sally, the place was even better in real life. It was a jaw dropping moment, and we left signing up there and then with NO regrets. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, what Sally and her family have done to convert this barn into this unmatchable wedding venue, is so impressive. The views are to die for, no matter the weather. The bridal suite getting ready with my mum and all my girls was such a comfortable, big and luxurious space for all 10 of us inc the hair & makeup girls, we loved it. Then waving all our guests off and just having to walk up the stairs at the end of the night was perfect! Sally, the owner, is just a dream, I knew straight away we were in good hands, she is the perfect balance of professional and down to earth. When the wedding plans commenced, in came Rebecca, literally sent from heaven. I’m confident that is where Sally found her. Honestly, I could not have got through all my planning, and the day, without her. She was **absolutely incredible***, and like all the other staff, did it all with a smile on her face, plus we always had a laugh!! Simon from the bar company, what a legend, a great guy to work with who literally just wants the best for you, nothing was ever a bother.
The moral of my review is simply this… There are so many wedding venues you can choose from, they are all beautiful in their own way, and thats so important, but if you don’t get your team around you right, it can make it a whole different experience to ours. For me, Grange Barn has that stunning and breath taking venue, but also the **complete perfect team** of people who you just want to be around, who will genuinely enjoy helping you organise your wedding, support you from the very day you visit and all the way through to after your wedding. They also all work really really well together. One of the biggest and most consistent compliments we received from our guests was how top all the staff were. It makes ALL the difference and you really don't think about that when you book your wedding as all we all want is that perfect beautiful venue, the team around you is so easily over looked and for me, it was one of the biggest perfect parts of our wedding. We’ll be forever grateful to them all. What a top bunch ❤️
Few more final tips -
The hog roast barms with Big 5 Catering for the evening food went down a storm!! Again, the owner of big 5, Darren, was 11/10! A super helpful, lovely, down to earth bloke that couldn't do enough for us and our guests.
Make sure all your guests have pre-booked taxis. Coaches work best but taxis work if they're all booked and I wouldn't rely on your guests to do that. Gareth from Beeline Taxis runs a tight ship and will sort all your taxis for you.
