From the vaulted ceiling to the exposed stone walls and limestone flagged floor, our traditional 200-year-old Westmorland stone barn offers a unique rustic elegance that can be tailored to suit any style-conscious couple. Guests can enter through our traditional oak barn doors and walk up the aisle surrounded by all the character you could wish for. You and your partner can then exchange vows under our enchanting canopy of festoon lights, or under our handcrafted outdoor pavilion with its stunning scenic backdrop. For couples seeking a church wedding, there are several beautiful historic churches nearby. In addition to the main barn, there is a spacious adjoining reception and bar area with a striking floral canopy, cosy seating areas, and timber panelled bathrooms. Our newly created lounge has a relaxed vibe and is available exclusively for the couple to use pre and post-ceremony. Guests are also able to enjoy our outside areas, which offer stunning views of the surrounding scenery from a landscaped lawn and patio, which feature natural wooden seating and a thatched gazebo.

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!

Our dream wedding venue

Eden Barn was absolute perfection from start to finish (and even before and after too!). Everything was so seamless, thoughtful, and beautifully organised, we honestly couldn’t have dreamed of anything better. It was everything we wanted and more!

The team were incredible and made the whole day feel so effortless. The venue itself is beyond stunning, and the atmosphere they create is just magical.

Thank you for making our wedding day so special, we had the best day ever and can’t wait to relive it all through our photos.

With love,
Chloe & Casey x

The perfect venue!

Wow where do we start. From the moment we walked into Eden Barn we immediately knew it was our venue. The Harker Family made us feel so welcome and calm and we knew they would be the best people to handle our special day. Throughout the whole process, they were always there for us. They made our wedding day better than we could have imagined and everything went so smooth. We wish we could relive it all again. Thank you all so much for making our wedding the perfect day. Love The Coakley’s xx

Our Dream Wedding Brought to Life by the Harker Family

From the moment we visited Eden Barn and met the lovely Carolyn, we knew it was the one. Carolyn and her family, who own and run the venue together, made us feel completely at ease from the start. Their warmth, experience and confidence reassured us that our wedding day would be everything we dreamed of, and it truly was.

Eden Barn is breathtaking. The barn itself is full of charm with soft fairy lights, a beautiful bar and a stylish lounge area. The grounds are stunning and we even had our own private bride and groom lounge, which was such a lovely quiet space to escape to during the day.

The food was absolutely amazing, recommended by Eden Barn, and everything ran so smoothly thanks to the Harker family’s care and attention to detail. I had been so stressed in the run up to the day, but once it began I realised I had nothing to worry about. They had thought of absolutely everything, even small details I had forgotten.

Throughout the day they felt like part of our family, so caring, thoughtful and genuinely invested in making our wedding perfect, Cive and Andrea even reassured me that everything was going to be ok when I was just about to walk down the aisle as I was a nervous reck. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food tasted and how exceptional the service felt.

We could not recommend Eden Barn enough. It was the best day of our lives and the Harker family played a huge part in that. Thank you so much for making our dream day a reality.

The loveliest day by the loveliest family

Where to begin! I can not thank the whole Eden Barn team enough for making mine and Iain's wedding day so special. From start to finish they were so supportive, accommodating, friendly and are just the nicest people.

They made the planning process a breeze and nothing felt like too much. I definitely felt at times I was asking too many questions / sending too many emails, but the team never made me feel that way and always responded promptly.

I'll never forget waiting to walk down the aisle and seeing the whole team there with wide supportive smiles. The experience felt so personal and we really appreciated the close family touch. The venue was gorgeous too, even better than I remembered. Everything ran like clockwork and the food was great.

Also, there was a minor mishap (groom's fault ;)) at the end of the night and Cliff and Carolyn were so helpful and accommodating! Thank you again!!

Thank you so much to everyone at Eden Barn for making it such a perfect day. We couldn't recommend it more.

Impeccable family run venue

Wow. We owe huge, massive, enormous thanks to everyone at Eden Barn for all of their hard work in the months running up to and the day of our April wedding. We absolutely loved every single moment of the day and that was all thanks to the Harkers’ and Southcott’s amazing organisation and calm manner with us. Every single thing was exceptional and ran so smoothly which meant we could completely relax and enjoy the celebrations. So many of our guests commented on what a beautiful venue it was and how much they enjoyed their sharing platters and the exceptional sticky toffee pudding! Thanks for letting us have a riotous day we will simply never forget! We are thrilled to say we got married at Eden Barn and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone considering marrying in the beautiful Eden Valley.

Best day ever!

Eden Barn is absolutely stunning, we knew from the moment we seen it was OUR wedding venue. Meeting the Harker family literally was the icing on the cake for us, from the attention to detail, the attentiveness, the warmth, and ability to make us feel at ease during the most stressful of moments; were all massively appreciated.

A day we will never forget

As soon as we visited Eden Barn, we instantly fell in love. The venue is carefully designed with everything you need in mind. From a beautiful bridal suite to get ready, to breathtaking backdrops for your photo’s - you couldn’t ask for more. To top things off, Cliff, Carolyn & the family couldn’t have been more helpful. From showing us round and walking us through each stage of the wedding, to always being on the end of the phone for queries and questions. They made our day so special and we are so grateful. Nothing was too much trouble & it was all that we imagined and more. I couldn’t recommend Eden Barn as a wedding venue enough.

A wonderful day! 🥰✨

We had our wedding at Eden Barn and it was absolutely magical from start to finish. 💍❤️

The barn itself is breathtaking – rustic yet elegant, surrounded by the most beautiful countryside views. Every little detail felt so thoughtful and personal, creating such a lovely atmosphere.

The Harkers and the team went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly and we felt completely relaxed knowing we were in the best hands. Our guests haven’t stopped saying how stunning the venue was and how perfect the day felt.

Eden Barn will forever hold a special place in our hearts – thank you for giving us the most unforgettable day.
