We Did Not Have to Worry About a ThingDear Geoff, Jenny and Steve, We just wanted to say a massive thank you for all of your help and hard work in ensuring that our wedding day ran smoothly on Friday 22nd July. We had such a wonderful day, and didn’t need to worry about a thing as you took such great care of every last detail for us. The venue was just amazing, all of our guests commented on it being the perfect venue. In fact, many even said that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to! We wouldn’t change a thing about our special day, and certainly would not hesitate in recommending Crabbs Barn as a wedding venue. All of your bar staff were also extremely efficient which ensured there were no long queues at the bar in the evening. All in all a great day was had by all, and everyone left feeling extremely happy with the professional and friendly service provided by yourselves. A perfect day!! Thanks again Love from Debbie and Russell Durrant

We were made to feel very specialTo all at Crabbs Barn, We just had to write and thank you all for the wonderful day that we all had on Sunday 21st August at our daughters wedding. We are still on cloud 9. From start the finish nothing was too much trouble. The wedding was planned in a fairly short time and whenever Emma or myself began to panic or feel stressed, and we phoned the barn for advice, we were always made to feel better by whoever we spoke to at the time. The day itself ran like clockwork and even the weather was kind to us. As I arrived with the bridesmaids and saw all the guests sitting around the lovely grounds in their w2edding finery, it took my breath away. When Steve announced that we needed to be seated and the curtains opened the barn looked stunning. The service was lovely and relaxed. We were all made to feel very special by all of the staff. One little thing for example that meant a lot was that I was a little late to get myself a cuppa and I remarked to the young man serving that I really needed a cup of tea and that I would be back for a refill. Whilst sitting outside I noticed that they were starting to pack away…but the young man came out…teapot in hand and said…”I remember you said you would be back for another”…little things mean a lot. The music was excellent and we had the guests dancing all evening. Everyone remarked how lovely it was and some guests even stayed much longer than they had intended …it being Sunday and them having to work in the morning…as they didn’t want to leave. Thank you for all your hard work. Kind regards John and Carol Dolder

Thoroughly Professional Yet FriendlyDear Jenny and Steve Lyndsey and I would just like to say a very massive 'thank you' for our wonderful experiend=ce on our wedding day at Crabbs Barn ! The pre-wedding help suggestions were spot on, the organisation and service on the day was excellent and everyone had a fantastic and memorable time. I have had serveral people comment to me that it was the best wedding tey had ever been to, and although they were talking to us at the time, we do thing that they really meant it! Everything flowed very smoothly and efficiently. The event was very relaxed, the venue visually stunning, the bar service efficient and the DJ entertaining. What more could a bride and groom ask for. Steve was ever in control and an infallible source of heklp and resources (pins for flowers and tord dresses etd) and I cannot thank him enough for his subtle, discreet but very professional command of the whole affair. We would not hesitate to recommend Crabbs Barn asa venue for any occasion to anyone we knowm, you did us proud, thoroughly professionakl yet friendly too. Many thanks Steve and Lyndsey Bishop
