Best Day Ever

My 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.

The most wonderful venue I’ve ever seen ❤️

What can I say - as soon as I saw the Barns for the very first time I knew this was the venue for our wedding the glamping tents were a added bonus, the grounds are stunning the whole place is just beautiful. We had quite a small wedding to which the team were great at helping us along with the planning , advice and suggestions ! Ellie and the team were excellent from the very first time we met them - they put up with my many emails of random questions !! They were so friendly and welcoming . Our wedding day arrived and Ellie made me feel so at ease , the bridal room was set up beautifully, the brunch was delicious ! Throughout the whole day the team made sure everything went smoothly !! The wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and that was all down to the venue and the team behind it ! The Barn and Alswick and the team you are amazing !

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 😉

Best barn In Heartfordshire

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The Barn at Alswick is hands down the most romantic, charming, and downright dreamy wedding venue I have ever had the pleasure of shooting at! As soon as I arrived, I was smitten with the rustic yet elegant charm of the barn. The sweeping views of the countryside, the cozy interior with its twinkling fairy lights, and the rustic decor all came together to create the perfect atmosphere for a fairytale wedding. But it wasn't just the venue that stole my heart - the staff at The Barn at Alswick were absolutely wonderful to work with! They were so warm and welcoming, and they made sure that everything ran smoothly throughout the day. From coordinating with the other vendors to ensuring that the wedding party was comfortable and happy, the staff went above and beyond to make sure that the day was perfect. And let's talk about the photos! The Barn at Alswick provided so many stunning backdrops for photos, from the rolling hills and fields to the charming barn itself. I was able to capture so many incredible moments that truly captured the magic of the day. Overall, I can't recommend The Barn at Alswick enough. It's the perfect venue for a rustic, romantic wedding, and the staff are simply wonderful. If you're looking for a venue that will make all your fairytale dreams come true, look no further than The Barn at Alswick!

My 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.

Dream Venue

We had our wedding at Alswick Barn on 30th March and our day was everything we imagined and more. The team are absolutely incredible, so attentive, professional and friendly. Everything ran like clockwork and all of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how well the day was run. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day... we just want to do it all over again! A massive thank you to Ellie and the rest of the team at Alswick for the best day of our lives!!

The Very First Venue We Viewed

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. 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.

It was the best day of our lives

Hi 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 & Andy

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. If I could score higher than 5 stars, I would!

Highly recommend holding an event here.

We had our wedding reception at The Barn at Alswick and it was excellent. From the planning to all they did on the day it was brilliant. Ellie was so helpful and really cared about how the day would run. She interacted with all the suppliers (food, band, flowers) to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day. Highly recommend holding an event here.

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Barn at Alswick?

All of our weddings have been amazing but one of the most exciting things we have seen is having one of our brides perform a trapeze act as part of their drinks reception- in her beautiful wedding dress! The groom was also part of the evening reception and that played throughout the evening so there was a fab atmosphere.
