We are so pleased we booked Blakelands for our special day and cannot thank every member of staff enough for all the hard work they put into ensuring it ran smoothly. As a "type A" bride who likes to be in control of everything. I can honestly say I turned up on the day with the full knowledge that I could completely let go and relax on the morning. They were very thorough in getting all the details for exactly how we wanted the day beforehand. We had a few guests tell us they couldn't attend last minute, it was never any trouble for them to reshuffle the tables so there was no empty seats! Staff were also great at checking in throughout the morning to see how we were getting on with getting ready and ensured the day ran on time. The day itself was beautiful and every single one of my guests were blown away with just how lovely venue it was! They are a licenced venue and had a lot of in-house services which made planning the wedding super easy. We spent the whole day at Blakelands, with the bridal party getting ready in the loft and the groom's party getting ready in the bridal suite (I hear theres a grooms suite in the pipeline!). The ceremony was held in the walled gardens and it was set up beautifully - we used their in-house dressing team which reduced the stress of getting an external vendor in! For food we had the in-house caterers the Mexican Cantina buffet and stone baked pizzas on the night for food options which were divine and everyone loved them! We also booked the in-house DJ who did an amazing job of making sure everyone was on the dance floor all night long. He played the requests my guests had made prior, which was a huge mix of music from classics to more heavier rock and he balanced the mix in styles well! At the end of the night, we fell into the comfiest bed in the bridal suite and woke up to a lovely breakfast in the morning with friends and family! We honestly cannot recommend Blakelands enough - if you are looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team who will put their all into making your wedding day special, look no further! Each and every single member of staff was so friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to Paul, Heather, Chloe and Sam for all the amazing work they did in the run up and during my big day. From my constant emails with queries and questions, the detailed and clear invoices, planning the smaller details and last minute changes - you all were so patient, professional and kind throughout! We cannot thank you enough and we both hold so much love and appreciation for you all and your beautiful venue.

Well what can I say about this absolutely stunning and breathtaking venue from the very first contact all the way through to our special day the team were amazing. We were lucky enough to have the amazing Emma as our day manager and Ella on the night. Without you both making sure the day ran smoothly we would have been lost without you both. Plus great music taste Emma (haha) We got married on Saturday 20th June and it was the best day of our lives and the venue was just perfect. There were no hiccups other than me arriving traditionally late 🙈 but all our wedding guests have said how incredible the food was and great for allergies too. Being nut allergy sufferer and Coeliac we were blown away with the amount of choices on the menu. And the street feast night and feast night were such a lovely bonus touch too. Overall would highly recommend Shustoke Barns to any newly engaged couple.

Our wedding venue was truly unforgettable, and every guest fell in love with it from the moment they arrived. The setting was magical — a beautiful barn surrounded by nature, with each part of the day unfolding in its own unique space. Our ceremony took place on the hilltop in a clearing among the trees, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The natural backdrop, the quietness of the woodland, and the open sky made it feel intimate, peaceful, and incredibly special. Guests kept telling us how stunning and atmospheric it was.We chose to skip many of the traditional wedding elements and personalise the day instead, and this was absolutely no trouble for the team. They embraced our ideas with enthusiasm and made everything feel completely natural. We found such lovely common ground with Jill during the planning process — she genuinely understood the kind of day we wanted. It was even her who suggested we grow our own flowers to make the day feel even more personal, which became one of our favourite touches.After the ceremony, the celebration flowed effortlessly between the tipi and the barn. The DJ in the tipi created a fun, relaxed vibe, while the bar inside the barn was warm, welcoming, and full of character. The mix of spaces meant guests could wander, mingle, dance, and soak up the atmosphere in their own way, and everyone commented on how unique and beautifully thought‑out it all felt.Jill was incredible throughout the planning journey — patient, reassuring, and always quick to help. On the day itself, Ben was exceptional. Calm, organised, and always one step ahead, he made sure everything ran seamlessly. We felt completely looked after, and our guests noticed his professionalism too.The venue, the team, and the atmosphere all exceeded our expectations. It created the perfect backdrop for our wedding and gave our guests an experience they’re still talking about. We couldn’t be more grateful.
