    What a venue!

    Bartle Hall gave us our dream wedding day on 25th April 2025 and we can't recommend this stunning venue enough!

    The day, down to every last little detail, was absolutely perfect! Our guests are still telling us that it was the best wedding they've ever been to and raving about how amazing the food was - particularly the tempura bombay prawns, the maple glazed chipolatas and the carrot and coriander soup! It makes us feel so proud knowing that we chose a venue that our guests loved just as much as we do.

    We, of course, need to give a HUGE shout out to the wedding team for looking after us from our first viewing in October 2022 right up until our wedding in April 2025.

    From the moment we stepped foot into Bartle Hall in October 2022, we knew it was the venue for us. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming and we could tell that they would go above and beyond for us - we were right!

    Rachel gave us a tour of the venue and grounds and we were really taken with how friendly and approachable she was. She clearly knew the venue inside out and we came away from the viewing with Bartle firmly at the top of our list.

    Once we'd booked our wedding, we had more conversations with Rachel but also with Jenny and Rebecca. Every email exchange and meeting we had made us feel even more confident in our decision - the wedding team are so flexible and accommodating and all of our questions and requests were welcomed, no matter how minor.

    We had our final details appointment with Jenny around 8 weeks before our wedding and we knew our day would be in great hands - she was just amazing and knew exactly what we wanted before we had even said it!

    On the big day itself, we were looked after by Tayla, Jenny and Louise who were all fabulous. They all came over to the lodge during bridal prep to check that we were all ok and to ask if we needed anything, moved our belongings from the lodge into the bridal suite and also looked after the groom, best men and groomsmen when they arrived.

    Tayla went above and beyond and beyond again! She helped my mum fasten me into my dress, pinned on buttonholes, brought everyone a drink before the ceremony, carried my bouquet, handed out canapes after the ceremony, acted as our toastmaster for the day, kept wine glasses topped up during the wedding breakfast and got all our guests hyped up. Everywhere we looked, she was there doing something and making it look effortless! Our guests have all said how much of an asset she is to the venue and we wholeheartedly agree!

    We feel so lucky to have experienced the amazing care, attention and hospitality from the incredible Bartle team and there aren't enough words to describe just how highly we recommend them and the venue.

    Thank you for everything - Bartle Hall will always have a special place in our hearts and we hope we can come back one day to experience it again.

    Love,
    Mr & Mrs Bolton x

    Wow where to start

    Bartle Hall was the first venue we looked at after getting engaged on Christmas Day 2022, it is has the beautiful old house and the new coaching barn surrounded by gorgeous maintained grounds and the beautiful Thicket Lodge for the girl prep the night before.

    We choose the 30.11.24 for our special day and went with a navy&gold Christmas theme, all of Bartle Hall Christmas decorations would be up by then we knew it was going to set the mood for our magical day of Christmas lights, candles and romance.

    Every meeting, email or phone call we had with the wedding team over our 2 years of planning was dealt with care and attention and we can’t praise them enough.

    We finally got to the night before our wedding I checked into Thicket Lodge with my girl gang nothing was too much trouble the night before and on the morning of the big day we had a gorgeous breakfast basket delivered.

    Every step of the process in the morning was seamless and even when we went off schedule for a little while it was dealt with without any panic, another bottle of Prosecco helped with that, thanks Bartle.

    We moved over to the bridal suite again all effortless and we were kept up to date with when things would be happening.

    Our day was just the most perfect in a very unique setting.

    Even though we had been earlier in the year to a menu testing and we knew how delicious the food was but we were still blown away by it during our wedding, every guest commented on how fantastic it was and to have 75 empty plates you know your doing something right.

    Every single one of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they had been to in a long time and that is down to the excellent venue, food and staff, guests commented that it ran smoothly from leaving the drinks reception in the house to moving over to the coaching barn for the wedding breakfast and evening reception.

    The bedrooms are comfy, clean and well looked after and the breakfast the following morning again we couldn’t fault, we just wished we could have stayed longer.

    Our wedding was the middle of three that weekend and not once did we feel rushed or not looked after and that our wedding was just as special as the previous one and one after us.

    I went to breakfast in my wedding dress and the staff just laughed and said yeah why wouldn’t you!

    A special thanks has to go to Richi who looked after us all weekend we can’t thank him enough.

    Bartle Hall will always hold a special place in our hearts and we can’t thank you enough for everything you all did for us we will be forever grateful 💕

    Mr & Mrs Glover xx

    Best day of our lives

    Where do I start! THE BEST!! The staff are so amazing and kind and professional! All our meetings went so smoothly and they made sure we got our vision. They are protectionist and ensure the day ran like a dream! They honestly went above and beyond for us on the run up to the wedding and on the day. Communication was great too, anytime I emailed, they would email back so fast, I was never left wondering or had to contact again to get a response, they were on top of everything. Honestly my dream venue and so thankful and grateful for them for creating the most magical day and the day of my dreams. Best day of my life and wish I could relive it all! Special thanks to Rebecca and Jenny who we mainly dealt with and had all our appointments with. And Heather and Paul for making sure the day ran so smoothly! Thank you to the entire team!!

    Bartle hall staff were wonderful and provided my husband and I with a memorable experience even with covid.

    Thankfully our wedding was allowed to go ahead and Bartle hall refunded us for the breakfast meal and evening reception. We only intended an intimate wedding and Bartle staff were wonderful.

    Amazing staff, amazing venue, amazing food!

    Me and my husband got married nearly 3 weeks ago what a day it was. Amazing staff,amazing venue,amazing food...couldn’t fault a thing. Our wedding co-ordinator on the day was his first wedding he was in charge of and he did a great job. The staff were all so friendly. The day was professionally run. Me, husband and all guests had the best time and we just wanted to say thank you for everything, start to finish. The building/barn and grounds are beautiful and couldn’t be happier that we celebrated our day at your venue. Thank you for giving us a brilliant day.

    What an amazing venue, so beautiful!

    We had our special day at Bartle on Saturday at the barn. What an amazing venue. So beautiful. The wedding team decorated it beautifully and the food was delicious! The team working were very sufficient and food and drinks were delivered to the guests so quickly. Heather is amazing!! She made me feel so at ease throughout the day, made everything run so smoothly and had such a funny beautiful aura about her. Everything was just perfect and we did not let the rain ruin our day. Would highly recommend Bartle Hall!

    From start to finish, it was absolutely perfect

    We had our wedding in the Balmoral Suite at the beginning of September and from start to finish it was absolutely perfect. The room and the garden at the back are beautiful and the food was gorgeous! Special mention to Paul and Heather who did such a good job at making sure the day ran smoothly. You hardly noticed them there but they did such a seamless job. Paul was great at making sure we were happy with everything - we really felt like he cared that our day was as perfect as it could be. And I've never been as happy as when Heather told us she has saved us a bacon butty at the end of the night! Would definitely recommend Bartle Hall for your wedding!
