Healey Barn

My husband and I have had the pleasure of having two celebrations at Healey Barn - our first official marriage ceremony last year with our immediate families and our larger wedding celebrations with all of our family and friends a year later.

The Healey Barn staff have been amazing from start to finish, especially during the Covid pandemic. Everything we asked for and discussed with the staff was perfectly provided on both occasions - the small details which meant a lot to us were perfectly prepared by the staff on the day.

The food served is some of the best we’ve ever had and several guests commented on how good it was! We had the pizzas on the evening and these were fantastic too.

Our day to day contacts Jack & Leanne have been particularly helpful and have made the whole process easy & enjoyable! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone!

Our viewing was very professional and the staff were professional. Compared to the other venues we visited it was miles ahead. We booked and paid a £2000 deposit to secure the venue. This was pretty seamless.
We booked with Healey pre Covid and needed to change our dates from September 2020. This change was well managed, we were given a selection of different dates and selected.
Moving up to the date there was regular communication via the online portal and they did offer some good advice moving up to the day.
Charlotte looked after us on the day and things could not have gone smoother. There was a professional yet relaxed atmosphere. There was a smooth transition between Charlotte leaving and Jack taking over. The courtyard was stunning for all of the guests, as was the front lawn and the dining room. There was a dressing room for the bride, groom and family which is a nice touch. The British feast was fab, the standard of the food was great throughout and this was the feedback from all guests too. The photographs you get from the day are amazing and there are a few great locations for photos around the estate.

Feedback (we had a great day and would 100% book over again) below are the thing that we feel could help refine the guest experience;

- make the staffing charge clearer at the bottom of the invoice. This was not mentioned at first and was a bit of a shock when we did see it at the bottom of the invoice. Maybe price it into the venue hire?

- provide an iPad/ pod for the music. On the day we needed to worry about the adapter and whether I would get a call when Zara was walking down the aisle. It would be one less thing to worry about.

- we had loads of pizza. The servers put the pizza on empty tables at times? Maybe go and ask the guests if they wanted one each and what type? I had to move them myself a few times.

- when serving the British feats explain to the guests what is on the table and explain that this is to be plated yourself. Some guests waited a while before they tucked in!

- 21 days is far too long to hold the bond for after the day. This should be refunded after the facility check the next day? Cash transfer can be instant and this would leave a good impression at the end of the day.

- although 2 draft beers were on the list the servers only offered Peroni and not the Kozel? Peroni is a lovely beer but not a session beer. A 4% beer should be offered as it’s a long day!

Thank you Healey for the best day I have had. The venue is genuinely stunning and the staff are great. You would not regret booking here.

Tris and Zara

We were married at Healey Barn on the 24th May 2021 after 2 postponements due to the pandemic. All through the pandemic they kept in touch with us and were so accommodating to the ever changing restrictions. And on the day they made us and ours guests feel very safe.

We originally booked Healey Barn in 2018 for our original date in 2020 and they were a pleasure to deal from the start.

Healey Barn was the first venue we visited and we fell in love immediately. We felt the venue was perfect as is and didn't require decoration. After we finished our viewing as soon as we got home we booked it and we're so glad we did!

Right from start all staff members we spoke with were so helpful in helping planning our day and we cannot fault the way they have dealt with the pandemic. We feel so lucky to have had such a great quality of customer service and couldn't recommend them more.

In the run up to our day and all throughout everyone was so helpful and kept the day running very smoothly.

The atmosphere in the barn and surrounding area is stunning and so many lovely photo opportunities!

The food was a massive added bonus, we fell in love with the menu, but unfortunately never got a chance to go to one of their feast nights so we felt we took a gamble with the menu but it definitely paid off - all our guests commented how amazing the food tasted which we were really pleased with!

We honestly can't thank Healey Barn enough for making our special that little bit more special and would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking at getting married.

We hope we get the change to go back there one day!

Healey Barn was the only wedding venue we viewed and we fell in love with it straight away. It is set in a perfect location, surrounded by woodland and lots of greenery. The venue itself is a beautiful barn with a rustic aesthetic and has a spacious courtyard. When we walked into the ceremony room for the first time we knew that was where we wanted to get married. Every aspect of the barn was perfect and we knew we didn’t want to view any other venues.

We cannot praise the team highly enough. Charlotte and Leanne looked after us from the day we first visited and they were always warm, friendly and helpful. They answered any questions we had (and we had a lot!). We had multiple date changes during the pandemic and, even though they were extremely busy, they completely put our minds at ease. We didn’t have to worry about anything on the wedding day itself. Everything was handled by the team so we were able to completely relax and enjoy our day. We can’t thank them enough.

The food. Wow. The food is genuinely phenomenal. It was a real talking point on the day among our guests who said that not only was it the best wedding meal they ever had, but some of the best food they had ever had - and we agree! The canapés were absolutely delicious and a great start for what was to come. The main meal was fresh, hot, and all tables were served at the same time. The food was delicious, so much so that we have booked to go to one of the feast nights later this year to experience it all again!

We had to delay our wedding four times due to COVID and when the day finally came, we could not have asked for a more perfect day. Healey Barn is a magical place to get married and we were so lucky to have our wedding there. The setting, staff and food are what really set it apart from other venues. Healey Barn will always hold a special place in our hearts.

The team at Healey Barn really went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was perfect! Charlotte and Jack set everything up perfectly for us and made sure that the day ran without any issues. The food also is incredible - best food we have had at a wedding. Healey Barn has such a relaxed atmosphere which meant that all of our guests were able to relax and really enjoy the day. We had to reschedule once due to covid and the team was really helpful and transparent throughout this process. We had the best day of our lives and would thoroughly recommend!

From start to finish Healey Barn have been fantastic, in difficult circumstances too. The venue itself is beautiful with many of our guests saying it is the best venue they have been to. It feels like you’ve escaped to the south of France! The food is beyond incredible, I don’t think I can describe it well enough. Everything was delicious with all of our guests commenting on how good it was and not a sad chicken dinner in sight. Healey were super flexible allowing us to have the day we wanted in the way we wanted but having some great suggestions themselves. Their communication was brilliant from the first time we enquired through to after our day. Their online system allows you to see everything in one place and message any time of the day or night when something pops into your head. On the day they looked after us constantly, in a way that meant we barely noticed they were there but we never noticed they weren’t. I cannot recommend Healey Barn enough.

We got married at Healey Barn on 20th October, it was truly the best day of our lives. The venue is beautiful, we wanted somewhere with character and charm, we fell in love with it instantly back in 2018. The venue speaks for itself but the staff are just as brilliant as the setting. The atmosphere was so relaxed, all of my guests commented on how comfortable they felt and how amazing the staff were. From booking, all the way through to the wedding day, the staff could not have been more helpful. The food was brilliant, and we have been told so many times since that it was the best food anyone has ever had at a wedding. We are going to go to the next feast night with our family just so we can taste the food again! The only downside is that we can’t do it all again, I honestly can’t stress enough how amazing Healey Barn and the staff were, a truly magical day!

We can't praise Healey Barn enough. We fell in love with this place the moment we set foot there. Everything is impeccable, from the service and staff, the surroundings to the food and wine selection. The staff was extremely helpful from the beginning and throughout the entire planning and during the wedding day itself. They were always available to answer any questions and were also very flexible to accommodate any requirements we had. The venue is so charming and unique that it barely needs any extra decorations. If you're thinking about getting married and are unsure about the venue, PLEASE visit Healey Barn.

From the minute we walked into Healey Barn we knew we'd found the perfect place for our wedding - even though it was absolutely chucking it down when we looked around!

Throughout, Charlotte, Leanne, and the whole team had answers for every question (however specific or strange)... right up to the day before the wedding. The whole process was incredibly smooth and stress-free, nothing like what we'd expected!

Our brief was 'a massive party with a bit of a wedding in the middle' - and Healey Barn delivered.

On the day itself the Charlotte and her team were there for everything - from helping wrangle bands and DJ kit to sorting wonky button-hole flowers, We didn't have to worry about any of the logistics on the day, as the team made sure people were ushered here and there... or at least they made sure the Ushers knew who needed to go where and when! The bar staff were great, too. They kept everyone going until 1am (another bonus is the late licence!).


And, echoing every other review here, the food is second-to-none - if you're even thinking about having your wedding at Healey Barn, go to a Feast Night. We've had non-stop good reviews on the food from our guests... even the picky ones.

One final note is the next day. The last thing you need is to have to get up early, then sort things out at the venue. But the guys tidied everything together and organised everything perfectly, leaving it all in one place to be picked up. A little thing, but something that made the day after that much better.

Overall we couldn't be happier. Not sure if we're ready to do it all again... but if we did, we'd be straight back to Healey Barn!

From the moment we walked in, we both knew this was our venue. We were already excited driving up to the barn because the surroundings are stunning. Then you go inside and WOW! It’s absolutely beautiful. It’s done to such a high standard - a perfect blend of rustic and elegant. But they don’t just rely on the aesthetic. The staff are incredible. Every single person is helpful, professional and incredibly friendly. It really makes the experience. Massive shout out to Jack (our front of house on the day) who was beyond brilliant. I’m a bit of a control freak but I was completely relaxed knowing he had everything in hand. He made our day so special and is just an absolute star! We must also thank Charlotte for answering all our questions on the open day and at the feast night (not to mention her napkin folding skills, ha). To top it all off the food was incredible. So many people told us that they were the best canapés they’d ever had (the beef sirloin is a must) and that it was the best meal too. I think it’s fair to say that every single person at our wedding was blown away by Healey Barn as much as we were.

Healey Barn is a stunning venue set in beautiful countryside. When we were first looking at wedding venues it was the stand out from online searches, the pictures speak for themselves but seeing it in person was even better. It’s absolutely stunning. Once booked, the whole process was an absolute breeze from start to finish, the team are so friendly and helpful that we never had any stress at any point. There are cheaper venues but for everything you get here it’s well worth it. When it came to our actual wedding day, Charlotte, Doug and the whole team were great and made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything. The food was amazing and the portions were properly generous, and there were a lot of compliments about it. The licence is until 1am too which seemed a bit later than other places. Highly recommended.

We were so blown away by the beautiful barn and the amazing surroundings we didn't even view anywhere else. It was perfect for the rustic theme we wanted. I can't speak more highly of the staff. They communicated through a message system which works brilliantly. The responses are immediate and we felt like special guests! We loved visiting the barn to show our friends and family and they are very accommodating. Our planning meeting was perfect and communications leading up to the day made me feel at ease. They were flexible with our choices and amazing when it came to specific dietary requirements. The evening before I received a call from our planner Jack in which we ran through the day putting my mind at ease.
On the day I arrived and was met by Jack he was kind and really supportive. I am an anxious person and worried about how I would cope but I can't explain how much I loved and enjoyed every minute of our day. From walking down the aisle in the beautiful barn with the gorgeous fireplace to the lovely reception room which was even better than I had hoped. The added bonus is the courtyard we were so lucky the sun shone down on us and the guests made the most of the outside area. The firepits were brilliant with marshmallows and sparklers during the evening. We had a brilliant disco and we danced the whole night. The food was out of this world. Amazing afternoon tea and the evening choices were delicious.
We can't stop looking at our photographs they are so perfect in the barn and outside with views of Northumberland. We would do it all again and choose Healey Barn every time. Thank you for making our day so special!!

My husband and I were married at Healey Barn on Sunday 28th July and could not have asked for a more perfect, magical day :) from the moment I arrived, Jack, our wedding coordinator, was attentive, wonderfully caring and incredibly organised. The whole day went off without a hitch!
The food was second to none. We had quite a few 'foodie' guests at our wedding, who kept coming up to us during the meal and saying how unbelievable the food was! To anyone wondering what to go for, I would highly recommend the mixed grill with roast potatoes as well as the creme brûlée. Hands down, the best I've ever had (and I've had quite a few...)
The online booking and messaging system that they have in place makes life so much easier when it comes to organising everything, because it just feels like they really know what they're doing. I didn't feel overwhelmed or lost in information at any point which is a huge bonus for any bride and groom.
If I could do it all over again at Healey Barn, I would :) the photos we have will last a lifetime and I couldn't be happier with how our wonderful wedding day went! Thank you x

Where to even start with how amazing this venue this!
We booked Healey for our wedding last week back in Nov 2017, after viewing other potential venues none blew us & our families away like this one did. The barn itself is beautiful, the courtyard and surroundings are stunning!
Healey Barn uses an online booking system right from the day you book, which makes it really easy to communicate with the venue/ask questions. You can use that as much or as little as you like, we only had the odd reason to use it right up until the last 2-3 months where you start pulling everything together.
You also get a planning meeting with one of their team, we loved ours and before we even had a chance to ask any questions they had covered them!
The most important part (apart from the marriage of course) FOOD - absolutely amazing! Every single one of our guests loved it, the only downside is that on your wedding day you’re so pumped with adrenaline you aren’t as hungry as you are at other peoples weddings! We had the pizza oven on the evening as well which is a great way to add some theatre and entertain your guests as well as feed them. (They also let any left over be boxed up and taken away - another thing our guests loved because it sorted out their hangovers!)
You get offered the chance to go to a feast evening in the run up to your wedding, this is an additional cost but we honestly found it amazing!!
There is so much more we could say about Healey Barn but we would never fit it in, the team here are amazing and we had the best most perfect day of our lives!

Fantastic service and a wonderful wedding day. At no point did we feel like customers or that we were being made to fit what they wanted to provide rather than what was personal to us. On the day when a few things went wrong (from external suppliers we'd booked) the staff went above and beyond to troubleshoot and look after our guests. The food is the reason we chose the venue and it didn't disappoint - we got more comments about the potatoes than the bride! If you are at all unsure about where to book try one of their feast nights and let the food choose for you.
