- LLouise & Denby27/11/2018Fantastic on our special dayFantastic on our special dayWe absolutely loved having our reception in Haughley Park Barn. Getting access the day before meant we could decorate the place to personalise to us. The different areas of the barn were perfect for separating different activities. The staff are amazing and helpful in getting your vision of a dream wedding. The farmhouse is also fab for getting ready and having family to stay after.
