Description
Whatever your requirements, from elopements to large weddings, we are very confident we can accommodate them. The options at the Cow Shed are limitless but are with you every step of the way to ensure your wedding is exactly how you want it.
When you hire the The Cow Shed you have exclusive use of the venue from 10am the day before the wedding until 3pm the day after, allowing you plenty of time to set up and the day after for tidy up. If you don't want to do the tidy up then don't worry as we offer an add on service to do this for you. That way you can enjoy the post wedding de-brief chat in the farmhouse just next door.
Depending on the size of your wedding we offer the following options for hire. Both of the below have the option to add on our accommodation options which include the modern farmhouse next to the venue, self catering cottages and our converted shipping containers with outside heated baths know as our Cow Pads.
EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE WHOLE VENUE INCLUDING STEADING MARQUEE, BARN, WORKSHOP, ROUNDAL, COURTYARD, PATIO AND LAWN
This option allows you the ultimate in flexibility and any number of guests. You could use the barn for the wedding ceremony with drinks in the courtyard and then dinner and dancing in the steading marquee. Whatever you want goes. The steading marquee can seat up to 200 guests and is a unique space combining a marquee roof with exposed steading walls. The venue is suitable to use in the summer and the winter months. The barn can seat 150 for a ceremony and the workshop can seat 10 for a ceremony. Our beautiful roundal room will also be able to seat a maximum of 90 for a ceremony however this will be quite a squeeze.
THE COW SHED BARN, WORKSHOP, ROUNDAL, COURTYARD, PATIO AND LAWN ONLY
Use of these spaces is perfect for a wedding of 20 and up to a maximum of 60. You have plenty of inside and outdoor space with large bifold doors to help you bring the outside or get cosy with the fire on.
Message from the team
Name of Wedding Contact: Joanna Trust
Hi, I'm Jo and set up the venue with my sister Gill and brother in law Mike back in 2015. The Cow Shed Crail is part of working farm and is located in the old steading which was a Cow Shed in days gone by. You can still see plenty of original features which we thinks adds to the charm. I have been involved in the planning of nearly 500 weddings so am very happy to help advise you no matter if your budget is big or small and party size intimate or a full scale festival theme.

- IIan M.25/03/2024Loved every momentLoved every momentMy wife and I got married at the Cow Shed in March 2024 and loved every moment. With their ‘blank canvas’ approach, you could do almost anything you like with it, but we felt the venue looked amazing just as it was. Jo was incredibly helpful in the lead always on the other end of the phone or an email to help us with any questions. Aksenia too was amazing throughout the weekend itself, whether that was helping with odd jobs, managing the suppliers or anything else we required..My wife and I got married at the Cow Shed in March 2024 and loved every moment.

- JJodie & Sarah28/09/2023Incredible VenueIncredible VenueWe had the absolute best day here in September 2023. I can’t count how many people have commented on how amazing the venue is. Our photos in the venue and its surroundings are exactly everything we wanted. The team at The Cow Shed were so helpful from the moment we got in touch right through to the day of our wedding. The suppliers we used all had a really good relationship with the venue which made the set up and running of the day even smoother. Would definitely recommend booking the farm house and on site accommodation as it meant for a really relaxing couple of days. Thanks to everyone at The Cow Shed.

- NNeil & Rachel15/09/2023The Fernie 3 day Wedding CelebrationsThe Fernie 3 day Wedding CelebrationsThe sun shone on us from the moment we arrived to The Cowshed Crail. Our dream of getting married outside in a beautiful courtyard wedding came true and we were able to marry under the flowers and blue skies with our wonderful family and friends. After our ceremony our guests were treated to cocktails on the terrace with tunes from our sax player and fantastic canapés for all. The marquee was dressed with candles and lanterns and fairy lights and it was magical . We all tucked into a tasty BBQ, stunning array of desserts and then danced the night away . The big farmhouse and cottages meant many of our guests had the ease of staying on site with us which just added to the huge party atmosphere . On the Sunday we made the most of the beautiful venue and had grazing boards and wine and another afternoon of dancing . Our photos are stunning, our guests still talking about the wedding and we are still on cloud 9. I can’t wait to go back to a cowpad for our anniversary already!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
It is a close call between my brother in law's wedding where it was great to see all the family enjoying the venue and getting to enjoy it myself, from fish and fizz in the farmhouse the night before to an impromtu conga in the courtyard just after the ceremony when the sun came out. The other very memorable wedding was in the middle of Beast from the East, the couple built snowmen under the arches in the courtyard and had the best knees up with friends who had made an incredible effort to get there. We also had to rescue the bride and groom with a tractor as they got stuck in the snow about 5 miles from the venue.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Remember it is about you, your family and friends. If you feed them, water them and play some good music it will be a great day. You don't need to spend a fortune to make sure they have a good memorable day.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
I love when the place names have the couples favourite photo of the guest sitting at that place. Very personal and makes the guest feel very welcome.
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Flexible, Beautiful, Rustic, Coastal, Charming
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
That really depends on the time of year. I do love it when the barley fields are due to be cut and the couple walks through the fields with sea views. Down at the harbour in Crail or on nearby Kingsbarns beach also provides great photos. The courtyard has a lovely warm coloured stone so that also makes for a great backdrop.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
Yes, Mark Beaumont who has the record for cycling round the world in under 80 days.
What’s your favourite canapé?
Haggis Bon Bons
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
A hog roast roll!
What is your venue's most unique feature?
The flexibility it offers from small to large weddings and to look different every week.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
