- JJayanthi & James12/09/2025Country-side feel with something unique!Country-side feel with something unique!We initially chose this venue because of its proximity to London but we still wanted that country-side feel, with something unique unlike any other barn. The river provided such a stunning backdrop and peaceful background noise. We couldn't have imagined how lovely the staff were, who treated our wedding as if it was their own. You can tell they invest back into the venue - there were so many improvements that were made since we had our first viewing to our wedding day.
