      Relaxed yet professional
      The Barn has lots of character, plenty of space, & is surrounded by lovely countryside and gardens. Our wedding in May 07 was managed by Austin and David who gave helpful advice, and made sure the day ran smoothly. The food was lovely and all our guests commented on what a relaxed day it was and how unstressed we were!- we are very happy that we chose Blake Hall and would not have changed any part of the day. We also had a great classical guitarist dueing ceremony & meal Paul Martin www.pauljohnmartin.co.uk and fab DJ who kept us the dance floor all nightPete www.idealsounds.co.uk.

      A perfect venue for a perfect day - 7th October 2006.
      What a venue! A 15th century barn set in superb surroundings made our memorable day even more so. The gardens at Blake Hall made for a fantastic backdrop to our photos, mature trees in Autumn complemented our colour scheme brilliantly. The caterers, staff and organisers made sure the day ran to clockwork, and we would particularly like to thank Mr Austin Garrett at Blake Hall for all his help, advice and for ensuring our special day went off with perfection. If we were going to do it all again we wouldn''t go anywhere else!! Thank-you so much. Rob and Lucy.

      BETTER THAN WE IMAGINED IT WOULD BE!
      THE STAFF WERE ALL VERY HELPFUL, PLESANT, AND PROFESSIONAL THEY KEPT THINGS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. THE VENUE WAS HISTORIC AND BEAUTIFUL, OUR PICTURES HAVE A VARIETY OF SCENIC BACKGROUNDS, THEY CAME OUT LOVELY. THE BARN WAS COSY AND LOOKED AMAZING ON THE DAY. IT WAS IDEAL AS WE SPENT THE WHOLE DAY THERE, EVERYONE COULD RELAX AND ENJOY THE FUN. WE HAD A SIT DOWN MEAL BEFORE THE PARTY STARTED, WHICH WAS ALSO WONDERFUL. EVERYBODY WAS CATERED FOR, IT CAME OUT HOT AND TASTY. WITH A LICENCED BAR AND A DANCE FLOOR, EVERYONE PARTIED WELL INTO THE NIGHT. A PERFECT END TO A PERFECT DAY. GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY, WE WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND IT!
