A Hidden Gem

After looking for a wedding venue with a nice authentic, chilled and natural feel, we decided on the Ark Buffalo barn for August 2025 and couldn’t have asked for a better venue with a better host!

From the start Dagan was brilliant with his relaxed approach it really helped us not too over think things and helped us to really make anything that we discussed work.

He helped all our outside contacts visit the site and answered all questions and more. Helping set up and organise who should be where etc. we even had a small problem with a posh loo (also outside company) and he jumped straight on it and it was resolved within 20 minutes.

The venue for perfect for us, and our guests couldn’t compliment the venue more!

Would definitely recommend a visit if the rustic countryside is your style!

Our original venue closed and goodness are we glad!

We found Ark Buffalo with around 2.5 months until our wedding date. Our venue had closed down and we were gutted, but working in events industry, we were open minded and ready for a challenge! Ark Buffalo emailed us straight away, saying they could probably help us out. We managed to get a quick meeting at the barn during their winter season so it was used as storage but as soon as we saw it, we knew it was perfect! We planned our wedding to be laid back and reflect us as individuals, so we had a ceremony, no seating plan for dinner, open bar with local beer and craft beer cans, and a jam night for entertainment (thankfully we know a lot of musicians!) I couldn't have asked for more from Dagan at Ark Buffalo. The prices were perfect for us, and they catered gorgeous food for us, able to provide for the carnivores as well as vegans and vegetarians at our wedding. People are still talking about the brownies for dessert! When we met Dagan, he knew we were a bit shell shocked having to replan the wedding but we were of similar mindset that we wanted something down to earth and a good party. His staff were fantastic, so approachable and proactive on set up day, and during the wedding. We hired out the campsite for the night of the wedding which was beautiful! I honestly am so glad our original venue closed because Ark Buffalo was so much more, it genuinely had everything I had always wanted- fire pits, a nice cosy stage, rustic feel and mismatched furniture dotted around. We couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank you xx
