Thank you so much for an amazing day!

Thank you so much for an amazing day! I have had so many of my guests compliment the venue, the food and the hospitality from all of your staff. We would like to say a special massive thank you to Wayne, he kept us up to date throughout the whole day and it could not have run smoother, nothing was too much to ask, he really did add to our day and i’ve also had a few guests comment on just how lovely he was, wedding days are normally a bit stressful however ours was very stress free and relaxing due to the support from Wayne throughout the day.

We really can not say enough nice things on how amazing you all were both in the run up to the day and on the day itself. And we would also like to say a big thank you to Wayne who really did bend over backwards to make sure everything went perfectly.... We didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you once again.

Amazing Wedding Day

From the moment that we walked in to first view the The Barn we felt very looked after, all of the staff especially Claire new exactly what to say and answered all of our questions. The whole planning journey was a breeze, every time that we went for a meeting we came away feeling totally relaxed , and of course everyone tells you that wedding planning is stressful however if you have the right venue and the right wedding planning it certainly doesn't need to be that way, as we soon found out! The day before the wedding we received a lovely curtesy call to make sure everything was ok and that we were looking forward to our special day. The wedding day was amazing everything went to plan, the venue the staff, the food, the alcohol everything was just perfect we truly couldn't have asked for anything better! All of our guests where blown away by the beauty of the barn. Myself and my Husband would just like to thank you Claire and your team for making our special day the most amazing experience and memories that will last forever! I would highly recommend!!!

Truly Magical Wedding Day!

Thank you so much to you all for an amazing wedding day yesterday. The out of ordinary heavy rain and floods did not spoil our day one bit. In fact, it was the opposite. The main reason we chose the Barn for our wedding day venue was because of its beautiful rustic charm and with the rain pouring outside and all our wonderful guests inside it made it feel cosy and intimate which is what we wanted. Claire has been an amazing support throughout and even more so on the day putting us both at ease. Nothing was too much trouble for Claire and all the staff on the day. All of our guests have not stopped complimenting both the day and evening food. It was sensational as we knew it would be. Could not fault anything. What a truly magical day we had. Thank you again to everyone there at the Barn.
