Absolutely perfect!

We cannot recommend Selden barns for your wedding venue enough. Our whole wedding day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The outdoor ceremony area was absolutely stunning in the sunshine and the inside of the barn absolutely perfect with the gorgeous lights and dance floor for our meal and reception.
Abi, Saoirse and Nicki were so helpful from the beginning to the end of the whole process. So quick to reply to emails with all of our questions and worries, lots of regular meetings to discuss planning, and made the whole day and evening run so smoothly and stress free. The bar staff were also great and provided such a quick and friendly service for a drink. The whole team made us feel so welcome and supported and it was really appreciated!
Thank you so much guys for the most perfect day - wish we could do it all over again! 🤍

Incredible venue

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day at Selden Barn. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was somewhere special, but the reality exceeded every expectation.

The barn itself is absolutely stunning — full of character, beautifully restored, and set in the most gorgeous surroundings. It created such a warm, romantic atmosphere, and so many of our guests commented on how unique and beautiful it was.

What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was Saoirse. She was incredible from start to finish — calm, organised, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made everything feel effortless, even behind the scenes. Having her there gave us complete confidence and allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment.

Our whole day felt magical, and we’re so grateful to the entire team for creating memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering Selden Barn as your wedding venue, don’t hesitate — it is truly something special.

Our amazing wedding day

Selden was our second venue we had gone to visit and after being there only a couple of minutes myself and Stu knew this is where we were going to get married! Everything from planning to the day had been amazing I couldn’t have wished for a better day Niki and Sarioise were amazing and i couldn’t have wished for more!

Our Amazing Wedding Day


From the initial enquiries to the final breakfast it was fantastic. The staff were extremely professional and made the whole thing feel very personal.

The only thing, which was a shame, was our wine allowance per head was not laid out on the tables. The glasses were not topped up on the tables, meaning it did not flow and we took lots home.

Apart from that the whole thing was amazing. Even the breakfast the next morning felt like an event.

The accommodation was lovely.

Thank you

Denise and Chris

The most beautiful day

Our wedding was such a beautiful day. Saoirse helped us to create our dream wedding and she was happy to answer all questions we had in the lead up to the day. Selden Barns were accommodating to all our requests and were more than helpful on the day. Saoirse ensured our day ran smoothly and according plan, you were incredible. A huge thank you to you all including Andy who cooked us all a feast the next morning. We’d highly recommend Selden Barns.

Wonderful Wedding Venue

We had our wedding at Selden Barns on the 20th September. From our first visit we knew this was the venue for us the grounds and barns are beautiful we loved the country feel but at the same time being so close to home for us and for many of our guests. The team were all amazing from Ben and Nicki at booking through to Saoirse and Mya on the day. Saoirse was our wedding co-ordinator she was wonderful we had several planning, meetings and she helped create our perfect day we couldn't have done it without her. We booked the onsite accommodation for our bridal party for the wedding night it was lovely having them with us the next day for breakfast, and the rooms were great. We would like to thank the team at Selden for making our day so memorable and would highly recommend Selden Barns to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

John & Adele Wedding Day 30/08/2025

The team at Selden Barns are absolutely superb. From our initial viewing of the venue with Nicki, to the wedding planners Saoirse and Mya.
We were hoping for an outdoor wedding, but the weather didn’t comply, we needn’t of worried, as it took place in their beautiful ceremonial barn.
Mya did an amazing job on the day, she was so attentive, her support team were brilliant, and this continued in the evening with Ben.
All our guests commented on how amazing the venue and staff were.
We couldn’t recommend Selden Barns and its wonderful team, highly enough.
Thank you for making our day perfect
Mr. & Mrs. Horspool. Xx

Our Wedding!

We got married at Selden Barns in April this year and truly had the best day ever!! The staff were all amazing and made the whole experience from viewing the venue, booking our date, all the planning in between and the day itself a complete breeze! Every member of the team were friendly and helpful at all times, with Saoirse in particular being absolutely incredible in every way!! The venue itself is beautiful, both inside the ceremony and main barns, plus the gorgeous outdoor grounds too. The accommodation is also lovely, with the Gatehouse honeymoon room we stayed in being clean, spacious and romantic. We couldn't recommend the venue enough!!

What an amazing team!

The team at Selden barns are beyond amazing, we'd like to particularly thank Sairose, Nikki and Andy for making our wedding so magical. Andy provided us with such a wonderful breakfast the morning of and the morning after our wedding and was so funny and welcoming. Nothing was ever too much for Nikki or Sairose, they both honestly above and beuond throughout the whole planning process and the wedding itself. Everything was so seamless on the day we honestly didn't have to worry about anything. We had regular planning meetings to run through everything and this ensured we hadn't forgotten any little details. They were there through every moment and we honestly can't thank them enough! We will definitely be going back there to celebrate many future anniversaries.

The perfect day

We recently got married at Selden Barns and wow what a day! Saoirse was just amazing, any question was never too much. She was very quick at responding to emails/calls and made my job 100x easier and less stressful.
From the night before to the day, Saoirse was amazing, she answered 1873 phone calls and questions and ran around after us with whatever we needed (a plug at 7pm)! Nothing was too difficult.
All the staff at Selden Barns were lovely, friendly and professional. Our day was faultless and that is all down to Saoirse and the incredible staff at Selden Barns, we will forever be grateful.

December wedding

We just wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for everything you did to make our wedding day so incredible. The venue looked absolutely stunning, and we received so many lovely compliments from our guests about what a beautiful location it was.

A special thank you to Saoirse, Nicki, and the team at breakfast the next morning, apologies, I can't remember the names of the two gentlemen (one gentleman was particularly funny and added a lovely touch to breakfast) you were all so accommodating, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. It's clear to see you all enjoy your work.

You all went above and beyond to make our day and the following morning so memorable, and we are so grateful for everything.

Perfect in every way…

We can’t recommend Selden Barns enough. Nicki, Ben and their team delivered on every level. From the first visit to the big day itself we were swept away by the dedication, kindness and professionalism. Nicki’s eye for detail and ability to liaise with all the different suppliers was fantastic. They ran the actual day itself like clockwork and with smiles on their faces at all times. It so good to deal with people who clearly enjoy their job. Thank you to everyone at the stunning Selden Barns for making our big day that little bit more special.
