Description

Here at Maidens Barn we have the space and facilities to cater for your entire day – from preparation right through to a secret bridal Hideaway Cottage – perfect for your first night as a married couple. We are licensed for civil wedding ceremonies inside the stunning new Oak Barn and of course, for outdoor weddings in the garden underneath the flowering wedding arbour. The stunning Oak Barn provides the perfect setting for both intimate weddings as well as larger wedding celebrations, seating up to 200 people if necessary. Chairs can be arranged with 6 on each side of the aisle in a traditional format or in a more relaxed curve if you prefer. The stunningly simple space within the Oak Barn has a high, beamed roof and picture window offers a magnificent space for wedding ceremonies. The numerous French doors open out onto the courtyard allowing the outside, in! Again, this space can be adapted perfectly for intimate weddings or larger wedding ceremonies – the choice is yours. Guests can be seated facing the picture windows in various configurations (depending on your numbers) and all looking out onto the ancient Oak Tree in the Bridal garden. We also have 14 bedrooms in the Hayloft Barn which sleeps up to 29 adults, and a Honeymoon Cottage for the newlyweds. This is a warm and intimate wedding ceremony venue, providing a blank canvas for you to decorate. Rustic arches and terracotta flower pots work well within this space but so do white aisle runners and modern pedestals.

Our wedding was the best day ever

We couldn’t fault our wedding day in any way what so ever. We had the best team at maidens barn who helped us along the entire way despite our many emails. From start to finish they have been incredibly helpful and we couldn’t have asked for better!

Perfect Venue, Perfect Day

We had a brilliant experience from viewing, to planning, to the day itself. Mercedes, Natalia, Alex & Sam couldn't have been nicer, really put us at ease and no request was too much for them. The venue itself is beautiful, the catering provided by Host was fantastic and all the staff helped to bring together a truly special day. Thanks to all involved! Rhea & Rich.

Beautiful Wedding Venue

Maidens Barn was perfect to work with right up to our special day! I knew I wanted to get married here the moment we had our first viewing - I literally fell in love. I loved that the venue is family owned with a small personable team. We worked closely with Mercedes, Sam & Elliot who helped with every detail. They were there at the end of email phone for my endless questions. The venue is beautiful, so bright and open I couldn’t have had a better day.

My dream turned into a reality!

Maidens barn is honestly the most perfect venue! My now husband and I went to look at venues and stopped the moment we stepped foot into Maidens barn as it was exactly what we had envisioned for our big day. From the very beginning, the team were absolutely fantastic and so accommodating with what we wanted. The communication was exceptional and they were so quick to respond with any little request or question I had. On the day, Sam and Natalia were so great with setting up and kept communicating with me. Elliot was also fantastic during the evening. All of our guests said they thought the canapés were great and there was plenty of them, along with Prosecco and beer. The wedding breakfast was delicious too. I can’t recommend Maidens Barn enough, the team turned my dream into a reality!

The best day

As soon as we viewed maidens barn we knew it would be where we got married. Our wedding day was truly amazing from start to finish. Communication leading up to our big day was amazing even when I felt like I was bombarding them with my last minute worries/ requests! On the day itself all the staff were amazing and so so helpful. I couldn’t speak more highly of Maidens Barn even if I tried. We loved every minute and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Wow!! Absolute amazing team at Maidens Barn!! They had everything down to the absolute detail and we honestly can't thank the team enough. Natila was there to make sure that both of us where okay during the morning making sure we had everything we needed (and to keep my Dad in check) Mercedes had all the organising in check putting all our suppliers where they needed to be and also made us feel so comfortable with all the planning we knew she had everything in hand. Elliot was cracking during the evening serving everyone drinks aswell as making sure we had our glasses full and also taking us round to the honeymoon cottage with all our belongings! Can honestly say they where the dream team! Thank you so so much!!

Absolutely amazing venue with even better staff!

Our day was absolutely perfect all thanks to the amazing staff at Maidens Barn. Every single one of them was absolutely lovely both in the lead up and on the day, nothing ever felt like too much to ask and no question ever silly. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and we had multiple people tell us that the food and drinks on offer were some of the best wedding options they have ever seen, with much more choice than just the standard sit down meals and buffet evening food it felt like we could really make the day exactly what we wanted - we just wish we could do it all over again!

Best day ever!!

The most beautiful and special day which was everything we wished for and more! From our initial viewing of the venue back in July 2023 to the big day in June 2024 we honestly could not fault the staff at Maidens Barn. Sam, Natalia, Elliot, Mercedes & Alex were always on hand for anything we needed, super helpful for any questions we had and just the nicest people! Sam & Natalia made us feel super relaxed on the day and we just knew everything was in hand and the day was going to run smoothly. Shout out to Elliot also who ran the busy bar in the evening & was our transport round to the honeymoon cottage as newlyweds, it was such a nice little touch! We knew instantly this was the venue we wanted to get married at. The venue itself and it's surrounding grounds are absolutely stunning and took our breath away every time we came to visit. It was also a massive bonus that the venue is dog friendly so we could have our fur baby Freddie there with us during the ceremony and drinks reception. It meant the world to us that we could have him there as part of our special day! We honestly cannot recommend Maidens Barn enough! Thank you to the entire team for making our day so amazing! BEST DAY EVER!! Georgia & Simon xx 09.06.2024
