- CChloe and Charlie14/11/2024Best Day EverBest Day EverMy husband and I got married in July 2024 and we had the most magical day. The whole team went above and beyond, not only on the day but throughout the planning of the wedding. The team really feel like a family that welcome you with open arms. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were so supportive, even with some of our more bizarre ideas. They have so much knowledge and were able to guide us through everything. The venue is stunning and the grounds are magical. I had no doubt that our wedding day was going to be the best day of our lives, but the team at the barn helped our wedding day to go far beyond our expectations. Adding the fairy lights against the natural beams really did feel like something out of a fairy tale. Our friends and family have told us repeatedly how beautiful the wedding and the barn was. We feel truly lucky to have such precious memories in such a beautiful place.My husband and I got married in July 2024 and we had the most magical day.

- JJo and Yan23/07/2024Stunning venue, best team!Stunning venue, best team!We recently had our wedding at The Barn, and let me tell you, they absolutely blew us away! Originally, we were planning to tie the knot in Vegas, but thanks to restrictions, we had to switch gears and go for a UK venue. We were having a tough time finding the perfect spot that fit our dream of a beautiful countryside setting with good vibes. Enter The Barn. From the moment we set foot on their open day and met Ellie and Kay, we knew we were in the right place. Ellie went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She handled all our questions with ease and made the day even better than we had imagined. The day was truly magical and captured who we are as a couple, all thanks to Ellie's close collaboration with us. The weather was perfect, allowing us to enjoy steelpans in the courtyard and dance the night away. Everyone raved about how lovely the staff were, which made the experience even more special. The glamping accommodations were comfortable, and Ellie thoughtfully addressed allergies and our family's accessibility needs. Every little detail was taken care of. In short, The Barn exceeded all our expectations. If you're looking for a stunning countryside venue with incredible staff, look no further. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our love! I can't wait to be back for vow renewals 😉We recently had our wedding at The Barn, and let me tell you, they absolutely blew us away!

- RRachel16/11/2021Rachel & Sam Rachel & SamMy husband and I (!) cannot recommend The Barn at Alswick highly enough. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, and the team gave tremendous support over more than two years from our first viewing to our wedding day. They really were amazing through some very tough times, and always gave the reassurance that nothing was too much trouble, and that everything would turn out just fine. We couldn't have dreamt of a more beautiful day - and so many of our friends and family commented on how stunning the setting was. Everything seemed to run so smoothly, which meant that my husband and I - and our guests - could just relax and enjoy ourselves. From the big things (like arranging for our drinks reception to be held in the private gardens), to the small touches (like offering me a glass of water when I was melting on the dancefloor!), we felt in very safe hands. Go and take a look - and if your heart skips a beat as you travel up the driveway like mine did, book it just as soon as you can. You won't regret it.My husband and I (!) cannot recommend The Barn at Alswick highly enough.

The simplicity and elegance of the place is amazing, we had a tour of the grounds from Ellie and fell more in love with it and knew it was the place we wanted to get married. Kay and her team helped us through every decision and made our wedding smooth and stress free, and they couldn't have done anymore for us. The staff are excellent and so friendly. All our guests were amazed by the venue and we have had so many compliments about it. Can't wait to get our pictures back from our day and be reminded of what a fantastic day we had at the barn.The Barn at Alswick was the first wedding venue my now husband and I went to view, we went up on an open day and fell in love with the venue.

- AAnna & Andy05/07/2021It was the best day of our lives It was the best day of our livesHi Kay and all the Alswick team! Where to start - we are so thankful we chose your wonderful Barn at Alswick to hold our special day. You and all of the team were absolutely faultless from when we arrived to set up on Friday until we left Sunday morning. Andy and I felt so supported, guided and gently directed through trickier / scarier bits of the day which we really appreciated and needed. Nothing was too much trouble. You had everything under control and orchestrated all our suppliers brilliantly, so the day went better than we could have ever hoped. You are such a professional yet warm and friendly team. It was the best day of our lives and we’ve been blown away by how many guests have told us how much they loved our wedding, and the stunning Barn. Our mums said it was one of the best days of their lives. This means the world to us and you played a huge part in making it happen. We want to come back to do it all again. We wish you all the best for the future and hope the Barn gives you and your husband many years of success. Thanks again, Anna & AndyHi Kay and all the Alswick team!

- LLeah and Daniel08/01/2021If I could score higher than 5 stars, I would!If I could score higher than 5 stars, I would!Had our wedding here in Feb 2020. Ellie, Kay, Claire and all of the staff could not do enough for us. They really made sure the day went smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from them. Huge shout out to Ellie in particular who was INCREDIBLE. We had lots of guests travelling from outside Hertfordshire who (when seeing the address) made a few comments about how far it was. When they arrived everyone said, ‘We can see why you picked the venue!’ Everything was perfect. The changeover from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast was so smooth and wasn’t noticeable. The views are beautiful and I cant wait to see the professional photos. Cant recommend this venue enough!!! The catering options were amazing- I recommend the BBQ sharing boards! I recommend visiting an open day if you are considering this venue. This was how we first saw the venue and were very impressed with how welcome the staff made us feel. There isn’t a corporate feel to the place which we found at other venues. The glamping options also impressed us as did the bridal suite.
