Our wedding 30.05.2025
We recently had our wedding on 30.05.2025 at Milling Barn and I cannot fault the staff or venue in any way. We were extremely lucky to have Niamh as our wedding planner and from the very first meeting, she has been exceptional and always there for when we needed advice or had any questions. On the day, it ran so smoothly and all the staff were so professional. The venue is absolutely stunning - we received so many compliments in regards to the staff and how beautiful the venue is. We cannot thank you all at Milling Barn enough and highly recommend future wedding couples to pick Milling Barn as their venue.

Stunning venue
We had an amazing experience with our wedding venue and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful setting for their special day.
A special mention has to go to Rachel, our wedding coordinator, who was absolutely fantastic. She was a godsend on the day, keeping everything running as smoothly and on time as possible while always being available to answer any questions. She also somehow managed to make sure we always had a drink in hand after the ceremony, which was very much appreciated and allowed us to relax and enjoy the day.
The venue itself is stunning, and the food was outstanding. It was one of the most talked-about aspects of the wedding amongst our guests, with so many people commenting on how delicious everything was.
The team were also brilliant at bringing our vision to life and making sure the space was set up exactly how we wanted it. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and everything looked beautiful.
We had a smaller wedding of around 55 guests and understood that there was a minimum food spend to meet. Our only suggestion for improvement would be a little more flexibility in how that spend can be allocated. For example, it would have been nice to include items such as tea and coffee within the minimum spend rather than having them treated as an additional cost.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so grateful to Rachel and the entire team for helping make our wedding day so special.

A venue that cares
The moment we walked into Milling Barn we knew it was the venue for us. After looking around locally we were blown away by how charming and beautiful it was. Most of all Aimie made us feel like we weren’t just another couple, we felt cared for.
There’s nothing we can fault in the process, Aimie was knowledgeable and kept our minds at ease the whole time. She understood our vision and was supportive. The tasting event is definitely something I would recommend, it made us so excited for the day.
On the actual day Aimie and team looked after to us so well! As the bride I felt like I was in such a safe pair of hands it let me relax and enjoy the day. Every member of the team on the day was excellent, professional and friendly. I purchased the ceremony room package which id recommend, it took so much stress away!
All our guests complimented the venue because it’s just so beautiful. We also used the House DJ and we can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a venue where you feel special and not like ‘just another wedding’ choose Milling Barn. The best day we wish we could relive it! 🥰

Perfect venue
We had the first wedding of 2026 at the venue with its new and highly improved makeover! The whole process from the start was so professional and inviting. Ami our wedding coordinator was excellent throughout the planning process as well as on the day! The staff on the day were so lovely and helpful they really are a credit and so hard working! The venue is a beautiful setting that you don't need to do much to to make it look and feel special. The grounds were impeccable and the accommodation was very clean and comfortable. We had our whole wedding at the venue and everything ran so smoothly. The food was next level! We are a family of foodies so for us that was a big thing! From the canapes to the wedding breakfast to the pizzas in the evening delicious. All our guests said how yummy everything was!! We had no worries throughout the day we just enjoyed every moment because Ami and her amazing staff took care of us all! Thank you for making our day everything we wanted and more.

Absolutely incredible!
Our day was absolutely amazing, and a lot of that was down to the incredible team at Milling Barn.
From the start, Rachel was so helpful in talking us through all the options and explaining everything clearly. She listened to our ideas and helped them to come to life.
On the day, everything was so smooth and we had guests commenting on how amazing Rachel and the team were. So many people commented on how beautiful the venue was, with one even saying it was one of the most beautiful places they had ever been! It was even better than I was imagining when planning it and made our day so special. Plus the food was amazing!
Gav and the team with So Discos, who we found through the in house DJ package, absolutely nailed the evening music and we loved dancing the night away with them. The website they sent before the day where we could add songs we did/did not want playing was so helpful and easy to use.
The dressing room and overnight rooms were also amazing and a very beneficial and a massive plus for us!
We could not recommend Milling Barn enough.

Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Day at Milling Barn
We honestly couldn’t fault our wedding venue - everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish and completely stress-free, which is exactly what you want when planning a wedding.
Aimee was amazing in the lead-up to the big day. She was so organised, helpful, and reassuring, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. We always felt in safe hands.
On the day itself, Rachel was an absolute superstar. She kept everything running smoothly, was endlessly helpful, and managed to keep me and the groomsmen in check - which deserves a medal in itself, as well as keep everything on schedule. Calm, friendly, and totally on it, she made the whole day feel effortless.
From start to finish, the team were just perfect. The food was also amazing! We couldn’t have asked for more and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for an incredible, well-run, stress-free wedding day.

A beautiful venue and professional staff.
We had an absolutely amazing time at Milling Barn. The day was absolutely flawless and we put that down to the exceptional professionalism of the staff. Everything was on time and we didnt have a single worry the whole day. Niamh was exceptional throughout the planning processes, very responsive to email and available for phone calls when we were unsure on planning decisions.

Stunning venue, great service, with everything in one place
We had our wedding at Milling Barn and we wanted to say a massive thank you to the team for making our wedding day so special. The team on site were incredibly attentive, their communication was great and everything ran on time thanks to them. The staff even made sure that we (the bride and groom) got canapés and reception drinks despite having to run off for pictures.
The food tasted great, the service was really quick (even guests commented on how good this was). The evening pizzas were also really popular with guests. The team even responded positively to last minute changes in circumstances on the day (including adding a guest and changing dietary requirements for a guest).
The dressing room is also really spacious (enough space for 8 of us, plus two make up artists and a hair stylist) and Niamh kept checking in to see if we needed any help in the morning too which was fantastic. The venue itself is beautiful and is perfect for pictures. As everything is super closely located on site, it also helped the whole day run really smoothly. They can also perfectly cater for winter weddings and drizzle!
Thank you to Niamh, Grace and the Milling Barn team for helping the day run more smoothly than we could’ve imagined!

The best wedding day!
We had our wedding at Milling Barn at the start of October and it was the most perfect day.
The minute we viewed Milling Barn we knew it was the venue for us, with the lovely rooms full of beams and fairy lights and the grounds with views of the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside. One of the things we loved about this venue was you could decorate it as much or a little as you wanted and it still looked pretty.
The dressing room was the perfect size for myself and my bridesmaid to get ready, we also ordered some Prosecco and orange juice for the morning, which was chilling as we arrived.
Niamh and Lauren have been brilliant through the whole process, communication was really clear and we knew exactly what needed to be paid and when, all pricing was transparent.
On the wedding day we did not need to worry about anything as Lauren had everything covered ensuring the day run smoothly and our friend who was our MC knew what he was doing and when so myself and my husband could just enjoy our special day.
For anyone looking for a wedding venue we can 100% recommend Milling Barn.
