Description

The Barns at Lodge Farm is the perfect rural oasis just a stone's throw from the big city, hidden in amongst the arable land that has been worked by the Graham family for nearly 100 years. We only offer exclusive use packages, giving you complete flexibility to use each space within the venue exactly as you wish. Fully licensed for civil wedding ceremonies in a number of different barns, we can host anywhere from 50 to 250 guests, including a field for glamping overnight if you want to continue the party! We are open all year round, and all our packages give you access to the venue from 12pm the day before your wedding until 12pm the day afterwards, so we only host a maximum of three weddings a week. As a result, peak weekend dates do get snapped up quickly, so please do get in touch to avoid disappointment! As a full working arable farm as well as a wedding and events venue, we have a strong commitment to sustainability and are working on an exciting programme of renovation work to ensure the venue runs in an environmentally sensitive and carbon neutral manner. We are a small, family-run business, and pride ourselves on providing the most personal and professional service possible - we are firm believers that no two couples are the same and so each wedding should also be unique, and we pride ourselves on making that happen.

There aren't enough stars to rate the Barns!

We booked The Barns at Lodge Farm without even visiting in person and we have zero regrets! It's clear from the start that the team are a real family (both blood related and not) and they actually care about each couple and their wedding. They were fantastic at communicating and giving suggestions when asked and on the day they went above and beyond, from covering the bridal party with umbrellas, washing shoes in the sink and solving any potential disasters before they even happened. The venue itself is so beautiful and we loved the freedom it gave us to use our own suppliers and put our own stamp on it to make it the day of our dreams. We only wish we could do it every year (but maybe with less rain!)

There aren't enough stars to rate the Barns!

What an amazing wedding venue… what more can I say. From the first visit I knew it would be the right choice, and this was definitely proven correct on our special day. Incredible setting, based on the grounds of a working farm, with repurposed barns creating such great atmosphere, and a mixture of both inside and outside spaces for guests to enjoy. The team are so friendly and were great communicators throughout. I had unfortunately broken my leg a few weeks before my wedding day and needed to be on crutches, but they could not do enough to help me. They even drove me to scenic spots for photos and dragged a chair about in case I need to sit down. All our guests had such a fabulous time….. and so did we. I cannot recommend The Barns at Lodge Farm enough. Thank you for such a special day.

There aren't enough stars to rate the Barns!

There aren't enough stars to rate The Barns!! I got married there last week and I can guarantee you that the team at Lodge Farms will do everything to make your wedding day absolutely perfect! As they did with ours. They will make the venue look like something out of a fairy tale, and we couldn't have imagined a more beautiful setting for our special day. Everyone of the team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right, from fluffing our trains to calming our nerves on the day. Special shout out to Archie, who helped through the preparations to ensure all our decor and inventory was exactly as expected. He was incredibly detail-orientated and just an all round brilliant guy. And most importantly Nina, who was truly BRILLIANT as our wedding coordinator. Her attitude made the whole planning process a breeze and she made us feel so comfortable on the day. Nothing is too big of an ask for Nina, and she was integral to the success of our wedding. The entire team at Lodge Farms helped make our dreams a reality. We're over the moon with how everything turned out! Don't hesitate in booking this as your wedding venue.

Perfect winter wedding

Me and my partner had a winter wedding at the barns and it was absolute perfection. The venue is so versatile and gives you the opportunity to make your wedding completely bespoke. Whilst having a beautiful back drop and so much space to play with. The team at the barns are warm, welcoming and exactly the type of people you want around when planning a wedding and on the actual day itself. I couldn’t recommend this venue or the team enough.

The most incredible venue

No praise is high enough for the Barns at Lodge Farm! If a beautiful venue in a stunning location (Harlow not visible!) wasn’t already enough to sway prospective couples, the Barns team should be. Bryony has created a personable, passionate and hardworking team who without exception made us feel welcome and supported throughout our whole journey. Whilst the venue offers complete flexibility, the team was there to offer guidance, recommendations and solutions so we didn’t feel overwhelmed by choice. Suppliers visibly relaxed when we told them which venue we’d chosen, noting the warm welcome and level of organisation they’d previously seen whilst working there. The team’s support in the run up (the amazing spreadsheet that organised us!), the day before and the on-the-day management was second to none. Any challenge we faced whilst setting up was met with calm consideration followed by the offer of a solution - a huge thank you to Archie and Ryan for their help the day before! As a result of all of these things, we were relaxed on our wedding day, able to enjoy every moment and trust completely that the Barns team would ensure everything ran smoothly. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us. We wish we could do it all over again!

The most incredible venue

I don’t even know where to begin with this review. The barns at lodge farm have to be, hands down, the most incredible venue team in the country! From the first moment we took a tour around the beautiful venue, and met the wonderful venue manager Bryony, we were captivated - not only by the incredible facilities and surroundings, but by the very personable welcome we had and the genuine care the team showed for our big day. The entire team has been so accommodating of all of our needs and so responsive. Upon booking we could never have imagined we’d need to be walked through several postponements due to an unforeseen pandemic, but Bryony and the barns team held us through it every step of the way - they went above and beyond for us and we are so incredibly grateful. When we finally got to the big day, it was the dreamiest and most perfect running of events. From the set up the day before and the big welcome from Archie (who is the most lovely and helpful person to have around on a set up day!) to the very smooth running of the day coordinated by the one and only Nina of Occasion Queens (she’s so amazing she has a review dedicated to her!!), we couldn’t have asked or wished for a more amazing day. The venue itself has so much to offer and is so reasonably priced for the stunning facilities available. The range of spaces, the exclusive use of the venue, the mix of rustic and industrial looks and the beautiful countryside surroundings are the perfect combination for the most phenomenal wedding. Throughout this whole process we felt like we were adopted into the barns family, nothing felt like too much to ask, and we have received so much support and love from the team there. We cannot thank them all enough!!

Abaolute gem of a wedding venue!

I was here back in July for Arti & Jonas' wedding day and this is an absolute gem of a wedding venue. Rustic looking but with great service. A special shout out has to go to Nina, the co-ordinator on the day who couldn't have taken better care of myself, my assistant and the videography team, and I'm quite certain that extends to couples and guests too. The spaces here are super photogenic and especially the sunset spot - often if you're told that the venue 'know a great spot', it's a little bit naff, there might be an ornamental bridge.... No, it's great and they have fab taste.

Fabulous Fabulous Venue

We only looked at 2 venues, and as soon as we visited the Barns we fell in love. It really was the perfect venue for our long awaited wedding, not only because of its absolute charm and rustic feel, but having Bryony and her team look after you every step of the way made our day the most magical ever. Having to postpone twice during covid our wedding was well worth waiting for, it could not have gone more perfect. A massive shout out to Bryony, Nina, Sinead, Shannon, Archie and Ryan - who captured our last dance of the evening for us on his phone and of course the excellent barman he was! Being able to have our family/friends glamp with us overnight was amazing and very special. We could not recommend The Barns enough. Fabulous Fabulous xxxx

Perfect Venue

We knew from the minute we saw the venue that it was the perfect one for us. The venue is beautiful and fitted with our personalities and rustic theme. We loved being able to set up the day before and decorate exactly how we wanted it. We loved being able to camp on our wedding night and guests were allowed to bring their own tents. We loved having our dog at the ceremony and having him be in our photos on our special day. The staff are all so lovely and were a great help in making our special day run smoothly. Would definitely recommend The barns at lodge farm :)

Amazing Team

We took absolute pride telling our wedding venue and all our guests that The Barns at Lodge Farm was the first and only wedding venue we ever looked at. Within a few minutes of seeing the venue after finding them on Instagram we were taken back by the warmth and kindness shown by all the team. This continued through our planning workshops, pre-wedding meetings and even following our wedding. The planning team are well experienced yet allow you full reign to tailor their beloved venue to reflect your individual personalities. The helpers behind the scenes made the whole process of setting up the venue effortless, allowing us to really relax before such an important day and to return to the venue with everything packed up and ready to go was a real sign of how they operate as a business. Always recommending The Barns to anyone that is looking for a venue, we're already waiting for another excuse to plan another event with them. Big shout out to Sinead, Nina, Archie, Bryony, Kate, Katie, Ryan and the bar team for making our wedding so special.
