Absolute dream location

We got married here last month, and what can I say. It was truly magical. We’ve since had countless comments from guests claiming it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and I believe that’s mostly down to the magic of this location. It just has a really special vibe - the nature around it, the new (extremely beautiful!!) glasshouse, the walled garden itself… just perfect. We stayed onsite in the pink tower and I also can’t recommend this enough . A really cool experience. Sandy from the Neidpath team did a brilliant job of coordinating our wedding even though we live on the other side of the world and time zones were tricky, and we had loads of questions given we never saw the venue before booking! Just can’t recommend it enough.

The perfect venue!

What a privilege to have been one of the first couples to get married at Barns Walled Garden! The venue is absolutely stunning. We both knew as soon as we walked in that this was going to be the perfect place for our wedding. We had a lovely outdoor ceremony surrounded by nature and beautiful, tall trees and smaller fruit trees. The walls have such character, the backdrop is stunning for photos! The even larger garden surrounding the walled garden is just an extension of the beauty and, again, a lovely spot for photographs. We even had our group photo on the landscape sculpture within the garden, which has different levels and is the perfect spot for getting all the guests in one shot. The marquee itself is super spacious. We fit over 100 people in there comfortably and we didn't have to move anything to make room for the dance floor. We even had a large lounge area where people could sit and relax. As night fell, the lighting both inside the marquee and out in the garden just made it look so magical. Even the toilets are super nice! With big mirrors and lots of room. We stayed on site at Barns Bothy, making the day even more stress free as I didn't have to worry about getting to the venue, I simply had to walk through the garden and I was there. Family also stayed next door, at Barns Library. Both cottages are beautifully decorated and comfortable, and just so convenient.

Now, this is all well and good but none of it would have been possible without Rachel and the team being there every step of the way. They've been running events at Neidpath Castle for years and the experience shows. Rachel was so accessible and always ready with suggestions, ideas and problem solving! We felt we were in safe hands from the start and we are so grateful to Rachel for making the day a success. She was there on the day making sure it all went off without a hitch!

We had the perfect day and we are so grateful to everyone involved. We feel so lucky to have found this venue! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ would 100% recommend!

Wedding on 4th October 2025

We booked the venue at the start of 2025 after meeting Ian who showed us around. The venue has only recently started operating, so he talked about what was going to change and what we could do on our day. Sandy helped us organise the event over the next few months until the big day.

We used the bar service which stocked a lot of variety. The staff that worked at the event were so friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond to help us with the planning and management.

The setting was so lovely, with scenic surroundings out with the actual walled garden area. There is lights up in the yard, and around the walls. We used Hopler Wood Co for our tables and benches which fit the setting.

We stayed at the Bothy which was a couple minutes walk away, and it was fantastic!

Can't fault the service throughout, and we would like to thank everyone that has been involved in our wedding. It couldn't have happened without everyone's input and help!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
