Just one word… WOW!

What can I say? I have honestly had the best day of my life. I felt like I was a guest at my own wedding, Eden Barn took the stress away from the minute we walked into the bridal room to get ready, they were so attentive, always making sure we were having an amazing day and everything ran like clockwork from behind the scenes.
We knew from the moment we visited the venue that this is where we would book for our wedding 2 and a half years ago and it exceeded all expectations. The family are so lovely and genuinely care about each and every wedding, the grounds are stunning and the organisation has been exceptional. I would do it all again in a heartbeat exactly as it happened, everyone says it is the best day of their life but I know it would not of been half as good without this amazing venue. Thank you so so much!

THE most amazing, Family-ran Wedding Venue!

Our dream Wedding Day!
From start to finish, all involved with Eden Barn were an absolute dream to deal with - they also contributed to making our Wedding Planning experience SO much fun (& much less stressful!).

First of all during our initial viewing - we were greeted by Cliff & Carolyn who were on it from the moment we arrived & instantly made us feel welcome.
They gave an in-depth tour & an insight in to all the timings of the day which was brilliant in order for us to see how the whole day would flow! (& how accurate they were!)
We fell in love with Eden Barn via Social Media, but this enhanced further during our viewing - it's even more amazing in real life!

During the planning stages, they were always to hand & responsive with any questions or queries that we had - this goes for the Caterers of Southcott too!
Nothing was ever too much trouble - they all completely put your mind at ease.

Our Wedding Day flowed seamlessly! The staff, the service, the organisation, the food, the venue & even the weather - Amazing! Our day truly was all we could have ever dreamt of.
Our guests even went on to comment that it was the most beautiful & organised Wedding Venue they had ever attended, which admittedly gave myself & my Husband the extra buzz after what we would certainly say was the best day of our lives so far!

If a Barn Wedding is all you have dreamed of, then look no further than Eden Barn - you certainly won't be disappointed!

Incredible Venue run by a beautiful family

From the first moment we met the Harker Family at Eden Barn we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding, and we felt excited to start planning the day we’d been dreaming of. The planning guide they provide is so incredibly helpful and everything is so organised, I can honestly say nothing about the venue or catering caused me any stress whatsoever and I don’t think many people can say that!! Nothing is too much trouble for the Harker Family or staff at Eden Barn. Every detail of your vision is captured prior to the big day and everything went perfectly, not a single glitch. A special mention goes to Andrea for helping me get in to my wedding dress and organising my bridesmaids on the wedding morning and to Julia for being so amazing with my 3 year old twin girls, making them feel confident enough to walk down the aisle to Daddy. If there was one thing I could wish for, it would be to do it all over again! Our stay at The Wilding Hotel was also lovely, the suite was beautiful and so was the food! We’ve had so many of guests tell us how much they enjoyed the day and how beautiful the venue was. We can only hope to be lucky enough to be invited to a wedding at Eden Barn as a guest in the future, we would love that!

Amazing venue

We got married at Eden Barn in April this year and it was truly everything we'd hoped for. It's a beautiful venue and so many guests have commented on how perfect it was and some said the best wedding they've been to! We loved the little touches that the Harker family took care of, like putting our photos up before the ceremony and boxing up our belongings and leftovers for us to collect the next day, they made things run smoothly and we are grateful for that.

The most magical day!

We had our wedding at Eden Barn this August, and it was truly a dream come true. Living in Dubai, all our initial meetings were on Zoom, but we knew before even visiting in person that the venue and the Harker family were perfect for us. When we finally came home and saw it in person, we were blown away. From the stunning outdoor ceremony area to the meadows, the incredible bar, and the beautiful space where we had our wedding breakfast, it was exactly the style we wanted—glamorous yet personal.

We’d hoped for over a year to have our ceremony outside, and although the morning of 4th August was touch-and-go with the weather, Cliff, Andrea, and Carolyn were incredibly flexible and worked right up to the line to ensure our outdoor wedding could go ahead. (Sorry for the stress!)

Andrea was so supportive, understanding every little detail I wanted to include, and even helped me grab my bouquet and get the girls in order before the ceremony. Cliff, an absolute star, handled all the "man jobs" perfectly, and my dad told me he had some lovely chats with Cliff during the day, telling me what a great man he is! And everyone needs a Carolyn in their life—she kept me in check and made sure we stuck to the schedule. Everything flowed seamlessly.

Eden Barn itself is stunning—a beautiful, cosy, and warm place to celebrate with family and friends. But for us, it wasn’t just the venue; it was the people. Without the Harker family, our day wouldn’t have been the same. Thank you for accommodating all our wishes and making our wedding the most incredible day of our lives!

A magical day, a dream come true.

Cliff, Carolyn, Julia & Andrea cannot be thanked enough for making our day absolutely PERFECT!

From the moment we arrived at our first viewing, we knew that Eden Barn would host our special day. The attention to detail within the venue cannot go unnoticed, every aspect from the stone ceremony barn to the bar has been carefully thought of and delivered to the highest standard. We made use of the bridal room on the morning of getting ready and Andrea was unbelievably attentive, making me and my bridal party feel like royalty.

The whole day went by in a magical blur and we felt no pressure or stress to keep the day running smoothly as that was within the hands of the wonderful Harker family & the incredible Eden Barn team.

We cannot thank you enough for bringing every vision we had to life and helping us to create such a special moment that we will treasure forever.

The best day of our lives

We honestly couldn't thank the team at Eden Barn for making our day so special! The weather was absolutely awful but the team went above and beyond to make sure our day went to plan. Even catching my veil as the wind pulled it from my hair on the way to the barn!! 💕
Everything was just perfect!
Thank you so much!

The perfect rustic venue

We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Eden Barn earlier this year and it was the best decision we made. The venue is a stunning barn conversion that housed rustic seating for our meal and night do, but with a gorgeous recently renovated bar in the next room.
As soon as we started the planning process the staff were extremely helpful and had all the literature we could need to make our choices. All the staff were also great on the day and myself and my now wife didn’t have to think about a thing. We were also lucky enough to have nice weather on the day so we could make use of the stunning outside space for the ceremony and pictures. Including the adjoining field and stream which the photographer had free use of.

Our dream wedding day!

We can't put into words how perfect our wedding was at Eden Barn. The Harker family are simply wonderful at what they do, the entire process was smooth and stress free from the planning to the day itself. The venue is absolutely stunning, and they dressed it exactly in line with our vision for the day.

So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue is and how amazing the staff were. The team at Eden Barn co-ordinated everything perfectly with all of our vendors. We had lots of people saying it was the best wedding they’d ever been to.

We would recommend Eden Barn to any couples looking for a relaxed wedding in an incredible venue!

Eden Barn March 24

Myself and my wife got married here in March 2024. We couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Blown away by the service we received. Not only on the wedding day but from the day we first walked through the doors, to view the venue. Eden barn is family ran and the harker family go the extra mile to ensure every detail is executed to your needs. 10/10 would recommend.

Unreal wedding venue!!

I cannot fault Eden Barn one bit. From the moment we visited to scope out the venue for our wedding day I knew it was the place we were going to get married. Our whole experience was completely seamless, Eden Barn are faultless and so well organised, we really had nothing to worry about during the whole process. The day itself was absolutely amazing, despite the horrendous weather we got on the day, it did not matter at all and getting married inside the barn itself as opposed to outside (as we had planned) was so gorgeous and was a really romantic setting inside. All of our guests commented on how beautiful Eden Barn was and the food from Southcotte caterers was unreal. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding food that they’d ever had!! Eden Barn is just the perfect wedding venue and Carolyn, Cliff, Julia and Andrea are really friendly and extremely professional. I cannot rate them highly enough!!
