Last update: June 2023

Odo's Barn is a truly magical wedding venue in Ashford, Kent, overlooking the Romney Marsh, complete with its own medieval moat. This 15th Century tithe barn combines original rustic charm with its elegantly beamed roof and modern style, with its stunning golden chandeliers, soft lighting and warm carpeted floor. Set in the Garden of England, this facility will make a marvellous setting for your special occasion.

Facilities and Capacity

The barn is licenced to hold civil weddings and partnerships and can accommodate up to 100 seated guests. The venue comprises the barn complete with handmade Italian chandeliers, specially commissioned for Odo's Barn. A rustic bar area within the barn and a large south-facing terrace that can accommodate 100 guests offer stunning surroundings. The acoustics in the barn is perfect for bands or DJs, and lighting can be dimmed to create a wonderful atmosphere for the evening reception. A peaceful grass meadow can be used for camping or children's games, or as a fabulous photo backdrop. You may also expect modern and newly converted lavatories, a catering kitchen, and a large car park.

Services Offered

The Odo's Barn staff positively encourage you to make the barn your own for your special day and are here every step of the way to guide you through the run-up to your wedding, offering help with services and planning to make your day seamless and stress-free. The barn is very flexible in terms of decor and layout and this allows you to put your personal mark on your wedding. Due to the fact that this team only put on a maximum of two weddings per week, you are very welcome to come to the barn and decorate the day before your wedding.

Best day ever!

I cannot begin to explain how wonderful Charlotte and the team are - from our first viewing where Charlotte provided so much information and really understood our vision, to our wedding day, which went perfectly. Odo’s barn is the perfect venue, it’s gorgeous, everything about your wedding is customisable and the 3 day hire makes the whole set up a breeze! We cannot thank Charlotte and the team enough, they really go above and beyond to make your dreams a reality and the personal relationship you build with the venue makes the whole day so personal and meaningful. We had the best, most magical day of our lives and that’s reflected in our photos - the setting is stunning and we feel so lucky to have found such a special venue and people to host our wedding day.

The most magical day

From the moment we visited Odo's to the day after our wedding, Charlotte and the team looked after us completely and made us feel like we were in very safe hands. From the recommendations on planning, help finding suppliers and keeping our drinks topped up (to help our nerves...) everything was seamless and it couldn't have gone smoother. We truly had a perfect wedding and many of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to!

We feel like they went above and beyond to look after us, and never at any point did we feel like things weren't going exactly as planned.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Charlotte and Odo's Barn!

Just the most perfect day!

Tim and I couldn't recommend Odo's Barn more highly as a wedding venue. Obviously the barn and its surroundings are beautiful but Charlotte is fantastic - she helped us plan our day and made sure everything ran smoothly. She was so kind and helpful and thought of everything! We and our guests had the most wonderful time and wish we could get married here all over again.

The most perfect wedding venue!

This venue is something out of a fairytale! Charlotte and her team are just brilliant, wonderful and we felt so looked after, not only throughout the process but on the actual day. Loved how we could set up and practice the day before, it made us so much more relaxed for the big day. Our special day was absolutely perfect… we want to do it all again!!! Cannot recommend this venue enough!

**Absolutely Incredible!!!**

We really can’t put into words just how incredible Charlotte and her team were and just how beautiful the venue is.

From the first initial meet and showing of the venue right to the last detail, Charlotte has positively outshined anything we expected.

To be very honest, we only looked at Odo’s Barn for our 10 year Vowel Renewal and from then it was very clear that nothing else even compared.

Charlotte was on hand for ANYTHING we needed/requested and she made none of our questions sound silly!

The actual day of our Vowel Renewal came and went so quickly, but the whole time I felt Charlotte knew my vision and the work she and her team put in on that day, Paul and I will forever be grateful for!

The Barn looked just stunning! Exactly how we are envisioned it-No actually it was better than we envisioned it!!

For anyone thinking of choosing Odo’s Barn for their Big Day-just do it! You will love every moment as we did and it just went so smoothly.

Paul and I would love to say from the bottom of our hearts thank you to Charlotte and the Odo’s Barn team for genuinely making the day and experience one we will ever forget. Such fantastic memories we will treasure always.

Our guests are still talking about it to this day!

Can’t wait for the photos be come back so we can share them with Charlotte & Imi!

With all our Love,

Marilyn & Paul Francomb xxx

The most perfect day…

We could not fault Odo’s Barn… They are an amazing bunch of people who worked so hard to make our day so perfect. The views, the gardens and the barn it’s self was just so beautiful.

We were due to get married in 2021 but for obvious reasons we had to sadly postpone, but this was such an easy problem to solve and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Massive shout out to Charlotte, we couldn’t have done it with out you… Thank you for making our day so special!!!

Perfect venue!

We loved our wedding day at Odo’s Barn, it was everything we could have hoped for. It’s such a beautiful venue & Charlotte really went above and beyond to help plan the perfect day. Everything ran so smoothly! All of the staff were so lovely too, professional and friendly. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how lovely the staff were. We really loved how you could personalise the barn and make it your own. A dream day, thank you so much. Lucy & Joe xx

Excellent - Stunning building & location, with very supportive owners

A stunning historic barn in a beautiful & peaceful location overlooking the Romney Marshes. We had a wonderful day - ceremony, reception drinks, sit-down-meal, DJ - that was exactly as we had hoped. Charlotte & Robert were hugely helpful with recommendations & advice, and very supportive through Covid-related postponements - a very "can-do" attitude.

Magical winter wedding at Odo's

My husband and I got married here in December 2023 and wow what a beautiful venue for a winter wedding!! The barn is truly magical, big enough for 100 guests but with an equally cosy vibe. Charlotte was amazing from start to finish, helping with all the details in the lead up to and on the day. Nothing was too much trouble, even the 90 baby Guinness' that were served at the end of our speeches! Her team of staff were so attentive to all the guests and the day went so smoothly. We were able to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about anything which was all down to Charlotte. We could not recommend Odo's highly enough and want to say a massive thank you for making our day so special. Hannah and Callum xxx

Helped us have the best day ever

Charlotte was so helpful and put up with my seemingly endless questions. Our wedding went off without a hitch thanks to her and her team, and the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous with stunning views.

The wedding of April and Matthew 5/8/2023

Our Son and his fiancé chose Odos Barn for their wedding venue. From the very first visit and throughout the months leading up to the wedding and including the day itself , 5th August 2023 we were all welcomed with open arms by Charlotte and her team. The barn is beautiful and we were able to add the touches that the couple had decided upon. Nothing was too much trouble. We feel very lucky to have had such a positive , memorable experience at Odos.
