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.

A Dream Come True

Milling barn was an exceptional wedding venue and exceeded all of our expectations. We had the most perfect day because of both the beautiful venue and the incredible staff that work there. Aimie and Grace worked so hard to make our day special and we couldn't thank them enough for doing so. They are extremely accommodating and will do everything they can to make sure the day runs smoothly. Not only did we think the venue was exceptional but we had lovely comments from our guests too. They really did make our day a dream come true.

We had our wedding at Milling Barn and it was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the right place – the setting is absolutely stunning, full of charm and character, and it provided the perfect backdrop for our special day.
A huge part of what made everything run so smoothly was our incredible wedding planner, Niamh. She was an absolute star from start to finish – so organised, friendly, and completely on top of every detail. She made us feel so relaxed and confident throughout the whole planning process and especially on the day itself. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her calm, professional approach meant we could truly enjoy every moment without stress.
The team at Milling Barn were all wonderful – attentive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure our day was unforgettable. The food was amazing, the barn looked beautiful, and everything came together seamlessly.
Thank you to Niamh and the entire Milling Barn team for giving us the wedding day of our dreams. We’ll treasure it forever!

The perfect day

I know everyone thinks they had the best wedding day but I cannot express enough how perfect ours was and how much of that was down to this stunning venue. Right from the start, we were made to feel special with a private tour and we were in love straight away. The rustic but grand barns create the perfect atmosphere and it’s exclusive so we had the place to ourselves including the dressing room and 8 bedrooms. Our planner, Niamh, was amazing throughout the process and explained everything to us in so much detail. She answered all of our incessant questions within 24 hours and nothing was too much for her. We were able to drop everything off the day before so it was ready to be set up and we’re confident that it would be done how we asked. On the day, all the staff were friendly and congratulated us, making us feel so special. They followed our requests and their staff at everything up how we requested it. The day ran without a hitch like a well-oiled machine. They were not at all fazed by a non-verbal 15 year old and helped us make allowances for him should he need his own space or dietary needs. The food was lovely - we attended a meal tasting day a few months before so we knew we were in for a treat! And we also loved the outside pizza oven for the evening. We enjoyed breakfast the following morning while everything was packed up for us ready to load into cars.
We made use of some of the added extras to create even more of an atmosphere for our guests who all loved the venue.
Thanks so much to Niamh and all the admin, servers, chefs, cleaners and maintenance staff.

What a venue!!

Our wedding at Milling Barn was an unforgettable experience. The venue was absolutely beautiful, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. The food was fantastic, delighting our guests and leaving them feeling full in to the evening.
The staff at Milling Barn were lovely, contributing to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Aimie, in particular, made the entire process personal, relaxed, and efficient. Her attention to detail and genuine care ensured that every aspect of our wedding went smoothly and without stress.
One of the highlights of Milling Barn was the comfortable accommodation on site. After an amazing day of celebration, it was a relief to simply fall into bed, knowing that we were taken care of.
Overall, Milling Barn exceeded our expectations and provided us with the perfect setting for our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience and highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to create beautiful memories on their big day.

Perfect dream day!

Milling Barn was the perfect venue for our special day. We honestly could not have dreamt of it going any better! The venue itself was absolutely stunning, but the food took the whole day to another level! The ceremony barn was the perfect backdrop for our photos, and Milling Barn had the most romantic feel to it for the whole day.

Aimie was the perfect coordinator and responded quickly to our many queries. Thank you Aimie!

Milling Barn is The One

We recently had our 'Christmas Wedding' at Milling Barn. From the first viewing we were blown away, we knew immediately that we had found where we wanted to get married.

Our co-ordinator was Niamh, and we could not have asked for more. She went above and beyond to give us the most amazing day, from replying my barrage of emails to setting up and arranging a facetime with my grandad from his care home - all whilst checking in on me throughout the day. Absolutely fantastic! Not forgetting the rest of the staff, everyone was so polite and helpful and just made our day stress-free!

The dressing room is beautiful and SO big! Plenty of room for me and my 4 girls, hair dresser and 2 photographers (as well as the odd person coming for a sneak-peak) plenty of tea and coffee available in the room, though cold drinks are chargeable.

The Oak Barn is absolutely stunning. Photos just do not do it justice, you have to see it in person. I became so emotional the first time I viewed this, it truly is beautiful. We did worry that with it being December, we and our guests would be freezing, but not at all. There are discrete heaters on the walls which blend in and keep the room really snug. The fairy lights surrounding the beams give off the most incredible ambience and all adds to the romantic feel of the room.

The main barn is spectacular. Divided in to 2 sections (Dairy barn & Main barn) and need minimal decoration to look so beautiful. We chose the Relaxed Menu for our wedding breakfast, with it being a week before Christmas day, we went for Turkey! Nearly month on and we are still hearing from our guests about the food. It really was delicious! We had a very small party for the wedding breakfast so the relaxed menu was perfect for us, we were given 4 huge turkeys which we carved at the table by 3 guests of our choice, everyone LOVED this idea! Genius!

We were all ushered in to the Dairy barn whilst the main barn was set up for the evening entertainment and guests and the room was transformed. From start to finish, we had the best day thanks to Milling Barn, We're both so glad we got married here and if we had our day again, we wouldn't think twice, Milling Barn every time!

The best day of our lives!

The most beautiful wedding venue! It’s what little girls dream of! We viewed a number of barns but Milling Barn stood out to us for a number of reasons; you get the whole venue to yourselves, all of the available extras, the friendly staff, the scenery and the value for money!

From the get go Gemma and the team had great communication and we were contacted constantly throughout the process. The day ran smoothly and there were no hiccups. Gemma was on hand all day to make sure we were happy and the team were super friendly and helpful. They really made us, our guests and our suppliers feel welcome. They even catered for our fully vegan wedding breakfast!

A picturesque venue with beautiful energy, romance and fun! Many of our guests stated it was the more idyllic wedding venue they’ve ever been too!

A beautiful relaxed, but professional venue

We had the most wonderful wedding at Milling Barn, this September. I loved the location, not too far from transport links but still with a countryside feel. The different Barns for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast/party meant that there was lots of room for our 140 guests. The staff were friendly and very professional, guiding us along the way and very organised. Our guests loved the evening pizza in particular! My bridesmaids & I loved getting ready in the dressing room. I'd definitely recommend the venue!

Everyone had the best time and won't stop talking about the day weeks later! Huge thank you to Milling Barn. Highly recommend them as a wedding venue

A magical venue

We visited Milling Barn within two days of getting engaged and no thought of booking immediately, but our minds were changed as soon as we walked into the stunning quaint ceremony barn. Our main requirement was accessibility for our disabled guests, and other than the mezzanine it was all suitable for us. There was enough space in the other rooms for us not to need the mezzanine anyway! We found the grounds well looked after, beautiful barns, a well stocked bar and we could not have imagined the day any differently. We dealt with Gemma, Aimie and Chloe mostly and they were all wonderful. I was SO calm on the day because I knew Chloe was on hand to assist. We’d also recommend using the accomodation and having breakfast the next day, it was delicious and a lovely way to end the wedding experience at Milling Barn.

Amazing Exclusive Venue

We got married at Milling Barn on the 24th June 2024. The whole experience from our first viewing to our wedding day was brilliant. Niamh and the team at Milling Barn are really well organised and have everything under control. Our day ran so smoothly and we were able to enjoy every moment of it. Milling Barn had everything we were looking for, we wanted an exclusive venue for the whole day and the bonus of accommodation. The variety of food choices made for difficult decisions, we decided on the relaxed menu which our guests loved and for the evening food, the freshly made pizza's are a must. There are so many beautiful places for the perfect photos and 0ur guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful the venue was.
P.S ask about DJ Mike.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
