Out of this world!

Its quite hard to describe something so incredible and magical – there really aren’t words to describe what we are now calling “the best day of our lives.” The barn itself is stunning and captivated us from the moment we set eyes on the beautiful, twinkly, 17th century rafters and it continued to take my breath away every time I visited. Moving on from the beautiful barn are the sublime staff who make even more magic happen! Nicky’s team are just a dream to work with, nothing is too much trouble and the food and service are out of this world. Every guest of ours has commented on how friendly all the staff were, how great the service was and what fantastic food they ate! We also loved that you were able to use much of their stuff i.e. card box, candles, vases etc preventing single use items. It really was a 5 star experience...actually if we could give it 1000 twinkly stars we would for the best day ever and we honestly can't thank them enough for this!

The BEST day of our lives!

I cannot recommend this venue enough. The barn is absolutely stunning. We used the barn for our ceremony, wedding breakfast and dance party after and it looked beautiful for each occasion. The staff were flawless from start to finish. There was nothing that was too much trouble and they put us at ease throughout the entire process. All of our guests complimented how friendly and wonderful the staff were throughout the whole day. The food was delicious from the tasty canapés, to the yummy main meal and dessert to the best pizza we have ever had! We had the most incredible day of our lives and would give anything to do it again! Trust us when we say…visit and book! You won’t regret it!

Flawless service

Nicky and the Pangdean staff were there for any query or question in the run up to our September wedding. They were hugely attentive to every detail and made us feel really on top of the planning before the big day. We felt incredibly well looked after throughout the day with our guests commenting on the beautiful venue and the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. The support we had throughout the planning as well as the seamless running of the day was more than we could have hoped for. We'd wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone!

An unforgettable wedding by a truly amazing Venue and team!

We are beyond grateful for everything Pangdean did for us on our special day. The attentiveness of the staff was truly commendable, and we received numerous compliments from our guests about their exceptional service. From accommodating our various requests, such as using the 2nd field and even going the extra mile to prepare the cricket match area, to taking us to the fields for sunset photos, cooking a delicious Indian meal that received high praise, crafting amazing Espresso martinis, and seamlessly coordinating our Saxophonist, Violinist, and friend's performance - the list of their contributions goes on! A special mention must be made to the owner, Nicky, whose hands-on approach and meticulous attention to detail were evident throughout. Bryony and Krysia ensured that our day ran smoothly, while Sarah and Gill handled all the organization and patiently answered our numerous questions. Thank you once again for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. Warm regards, Steph & Abhi Pangdean Wedding, 7th July 2024

'yes people' with so many included 'little extras' they created something very special

We had our wedding for 120 people, including 27 children at Pangdean and I cannot recommend them enough. I had very high expectations from the attentive and thoughtful conversations we had about how we could entertain the kids and other thoughtful little details we could do, and they surpassed every single one of them. If you want somewhere relaxed where all your guests feel looked after and thought about this place is spot on. Particularly if you are inviting children - they said they were 'yes people' and I was blown away by how accommodating they were. A main draw for us was how much was included as standard, and we really weren't let down - 90% of the decorations were included, a load of garden games, including go karts and mini ride-on slide, they threw in a visit from a resident pony for the children and when I said i was ordering a photo booth, a frame and a hamper for hats appeared. We wouldnt have been able to get anywhere close to those 'little extras' if we did it ourselves and they really made the wedding standout and everyone had a lot of fun. Coming here, was such a great decision

A Special Day

We would like to pass on our gratitude to you and the team at Pangdean for making our daughter Tamsin and son-in-law Tariq's wedding day such a special day. It is a beautiful venue for a wedding but we were particularly impressed at how requests were dealt with prior to and on the day so it really felt like you were aiming to make the day a special one for the couple and all the guests. Thank you Drs Vivienne Weston and Adrian Jones

Describe the best wedding that happened at Pangdean Barn?

That's impossible to answer! We've had so many incredible events at Pangdean. For us, the best ones are always the ones where you can feel the love. The size and even all the extra details are not as important as the happiness that glows from our couples. It's what makes our work so joyful!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Remember that it is meant to be fun. Relax and let us help you. We have a brilliant team of staff who will make sure your day is spectacular, fun and romantic.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

It's always very touching when people find a way to include loved ones who can't be there - perhaps by including photos of them, or mentioning them in speeches. And there are also lots of fun touches that couples add - from having a signature cocktail, to using photos of each guest as a place name.
