We fell in love with this venue when we saw the space they had both Outdoor and Indoor. Being able to have our ceremony outdoor in the magical woodland, and still have an indoor space big enough for a sit-down dinner was perfect for us. The evening was spot-on as well, the fire-pits outside gave it the perfect chilled vibe we were after, and the Oast itself was a great for dancing.

The natural beauty of the venue an obvious is a bonus, but you don’t appreciate—until the actual day—that the staff are exceptional. Our wedding was beautifully organised and everything flowed equally beautifully. The whole setup is just perfect.

My husband and I visited Pangdean in July 2024, and ended up marrying there the year after in 2025. We are very pleased we chose Pangdean and extremely impressed by so much of what the venue and everyone within it had to offer. We decided to go with Pangdean as our venue soon after visiting the lovely gardens and getting an excellent first impression from Gill who first greeted us. All throughout the preparations Gill, Kasia and Sarah were very responsive and attentive to all our questions. They offered great guidance in a very calm and assured way that really helped put us at ease and help us to make the right choices. We never felt pressured into doing something we thought was only best for the venue. We felt confident they could take all of our decorations and stationery and piece it together to make something better than we imagined! Their experience and attention to detail really shone through. On the day itself the whole team was so attentive, organised and seemed to be able to second guess every need and worked so efficiently with calm, smiling faces – we appreciated how well the more obvious things went like table service but also the smaller things like ensuring the bride and groom got some of the canapés too! We are really grateful in particular for how attentive you were on the day to the bride’s mum who was recovering from recent surgery, checking in on her and allowing her to use the Drawing Room to escape when needed. Bryony was fantastic throughout the day and made sure everything fell perfectly into place. The food has had just as many compliments – both for the quantity and quality of what was served! Again, we are really pleased with our choices of BBQ and Supper – our guests were hugely pleased with them also! The whole kitchen team should be really proud of what they served so well. Many of our guests have mentioned to us how lovely the garden and grounds are and how the whole barn itself has a great ambience, layout & fantastic toilets! We enjoyed the local labradors paying us a visit outside during the day too 😊 Pangdean's recommended supplier list was also well worth using, the flowers (Bettie Rose) and photographer (Paul Fletcher) were absolutely first class – we were very pleased with the flowers & were hugely impressed with how well Paul works his craft. The venue's owner, Nikki, very kindly took us up onto the downs at golden hour for some photos and videos with a stunning backdrop. We honestly can't think of a more perfect example of everything you could hope for a venue and it's staff to be, from the moment we first visited and throughout the entire process.

We hired the barn for our wedding and it was fantastic and looked amazing. Fran and the team were incredibly helpful throughout the experience from booking to the day and there was no task too big for them. Super friendly and helped to put you at ease. Definitely the wedding of our dreams! Can not recommend them enough!

We had our wedding here in July and it’s what I like to call a hidden Jem!! It’s a wonderful venue for any special occasion and me and my husband and so happy we held our wedding reception here. There is also a lovely lake for photo opportunity.

Hi Team Thank you all for your hard work on our Wedding Day! The day was incredible, we loved every second of it. Thank you all so much for making it so special. Thank you again Kat

We recently celebrated our wedding at Blackstock and truly could not have asked for a better experience. Value for money was outstanding - every element included in our package exceeded expectations, with no hidden costs or surprises, and it was clear the team strives to deliver a premium experience at a fair price. The venue offered excellent packages that included not just the space, but essentials such as catering, coordination, and even accommodation. For couples conscious of their budget, we found that it delivered all the quality and experience we wanted while still meeting our financial goals. The staff's professionalism was remarkable throughout the process. From our initial enquiry, response times were quick and thorough. Our event coordinator, Sara, was attentive and knowledgeable, always willing to go above and beyond to answer questions and accommodate requests - even those made at the last minute. On our wedding day, every team member was not only organised and efficient but also genuinely friendly, helping us and our guests feel supported and welcome at every step. Regarding our budget needs, the venue was flexible and transparent. We were able to tailor our package according to our priorities without ever feeling pressured to upgrade unnecessarily. The staff offered detailed breakdowns and worked with us to ensure every need was met without overstretching our budget. The overall attitude of the entire team was warm, proactive, and solutions-focused. The staff maintained a positive and can-do approach, ensuring everything ran seamlessly and stress-free. In summary, Blackstock truly prioritises couples’ happiness. It combines stunning surroundings and excellent service with great value and a team whose professionalism and positive attitude shine through. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a memorable and impeccably managed wedding day.

Our first choice Hawthbush were the second venue we visited and after that we didn’t need to see another. They were adaptable to our various needs, and made their venue so we could make our wedding our own and genuinely made us feel special as a bride and groom. So many places churn out weddings and make you pick their packages whereas Hawthbush allow movement and room for you to make your day how you want it. From the get go Bella was fab, always responsive to messages and laying out when payments and different things needed confirming. They work with their brewery and it means you get a fantastic variety of beer rather than the usual warm Amstel and it just lifts the mood. On the day they were first class and made sure everything was adaptable as timings slipped and made each possible issue seem like no bother. Organising a wedding with 150 guests is hard but Hawthbush made it seem so easy. The ceremony area is a fairytale dreamland to get married in, the barn and fields are perfect for photos. I cried with joy the first time I saw the venue, and the photos and memories we made from our day are something we will treasure forever and I will continue to cry with joy that we got to get married there! The on site accommodation is superb, we had friends that would never usually camp LOVE glamping and it was all better than described! The hamlet, and barn were also superb! I don’t think we could have found a better venue for us if we’d hunted through a million more. Thank you Hawthbush you truly are magical.

We loved every aspect of the venue, from the isolated location to the many features it provided. From beginning to end, Jez and Tara were very cooperative and flexible, if it meant needing to see the venue for the 5th time or asking numerous questions, they were very accommodating. The venue was stunning inside and out, featuring a lovely fire pit for when it gets cold in the evening, a spacious gardens area for all our guests and even a mini barn which we used as a photos booth. The inside was brilliant as well, with lovely ceder beams, thus giving it it's name (I presume) and a very simplistic concrete floor, which allowed us to decorate however we pleased. All in all, a wonderful venue and amazing for the price too.

This was the perfect location for our wedding reception. Gote Barn is everything you could want for a rustic barn wedding. Will and Polly were amazing hosts. They were easy to contact, made themselves available for all our needs and had some great suggestions for decorations, vendors and other wedding logistics. Polly was even able to arrange an extra quiet space and a baby changing table as we had lots of young children attending. Gote Barn is in a magical setting with some amazing photo opportunities. The barn is already beautifully adorned with lights but there is also lots of opportunity to decorate it to make it personal to you. We made bunting out of strips of material which worked very well. Despite being a genuine old barn, there is good disabled access with a paved path and a disabled toilet. We also felt that it was very good value for a wedding venue - more weather resistant than a marquee and more customisable than a hotel. We couldn’t recommend Gote Barn more - thank you!
