- JJade and Tom18/10/2025The most beautiful and charming venue!The most beautiful and charming venue!How do I even begin.... Odo's Barn is the most beautiful, charming venue, with so much character and warmth! It was perfect for our special day. It was the first venue we viewed, and every venue after didn't even come close to Odo's. The option of having the ceremony inside or outside is very appealing, especially given the fine English weather, but we chose to have ours inside. And boy did it look amazing! The subtleness of autumnal colours, cosiness of the fairy lights, the decor and styling of the barn, it was perfect! All the staff are lovely, but Charlotte really is such a huge part of the Odo's experience. Charlotte is so kind, attentive and nothing ever seemed too much. She helped guide us with our planning and gave us her honest opinions which we really valued. It's clear how much she loves helping create the most magical wedding days for her guests! I can't thank the team at Odo's enough, we had the most amazing and unforgettable day and we would recommend the barn to anyone as it will steal your heart in an instant!!How do I even begin....

- KKirsty & Shaun04/08/2025Magical venue and outstanding serviceMagical venue and outstanding serviceWe had the most incredible wedding day at Odo’s Barn and cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we first visited, Charlotte made us feel completely at ease, nothing was ever too much trouble, and her knowledge, organisation, warmth, and attention to detail were second to none. The barn itself is simply stunning and was the perfect backdrop for our day, so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it looked and how smoothly everything ran. Charlotte was there every step of the way, making the planning process fun and stress-free, and on the day itself she ensured everything went perfectly so we could just relax and soak it all up. If you’re looking for a magical venue with bags of character and a coordinator who genuinely cares, book Odo’s Barn. We feel incredibly lucky to have celebrated our wedding there; it was everything we dreamed of and more.We had the most incredible wedding day at Odo’s Barn and cannot recommend it highly enough.

- IIzzy & Jack01/05/2025Our wedding dayOur wedding dayWhen we first visited Odo’s Barn, we just knew we had to get married there. We didn’t view anywhere else as we knew no where could come close. Charlotte, the owner, is at the heart of it all. From the moment we met her she was always on hand to offer advice or support and her knowledge really helped us to make decisions when we needed it. The day was everything we had envisaged and we couldn’t have asked for more. All the staff were incredible. The day was so well organised and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Everything ran so smoothly and calmly. Guests commented on how chilled out our wedding was which was the exact vibe we were aiming for. Everyone said how beautiful and intimate the venue felt. It really does have a family feel. Charlotte, thank you for playing such a huge part in giving us our dream wedding day. Thank you so much for all the hard work that goes in to doing what you do. We’re so glad we chose you! Izzy and Jack xxWhen we first visited Odo’s Barn, we just knew we had to get married there. We didn’t view anywhere else as we knew no where could come close.

Charlotte and her team helped us from start to finish, with kind advice, friendly suggestions and great alternatives. The barn is beautiful and it really allowed us put our decorative spin on the day and make it our own. The grand chandeliers are such a statement piece and look incredible in our photos. The bar staff worked nonstop too! They took everything in their stride when our guests swamped the bar. We were even allowed access to the connecting gardens. For us in May, the flowers were starting to bloom and we captured some truly lovely memories. They couldn’t have done enough for us.
