Last update: October 2024

Notley Tythe Barn is a stunning 12th-century wedding venue near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, flush with an ancient and spiritual ambience. Set in 500 acres of rolling pastureland, this historic barn found a new lease of life in 1991 under the careful hands of owners Nick and Denise Reynolds. Today the structure remains a magnetic emblem of the rural landscape that surrounds it, instilling every celebration with timeless tradition and elegance.

Facilities and Capacity

Home to soaring beam rafters and exposed stone, Notley Tythe Barn can seat up to 140 guests within its whitewashed hall. Fully licensed for civil ceremonies, there is every opportunity to host your entire wedding day here, letting each stage unfold across the pastoral property. Larger occasions can even extend in to our adjoining Granary Bar, which boasts additional room for 60. The barn is beautifully suited for relaxed mingling, its large doors opening out directly onto the landscaped garden, which overlooks the distant Chiltern Hills. On finer days, you and yours can soak in the sun on the cocktail and canapé lawn while children play on the nearby recreational green. The area can also accommodate a large marquee for up to 250 guests for a truly lavish affair.

Services Offered

At Notley Tythe Barn, you can feel confident that every detail of your day will be meticulously planned with you in advance. The Reynolds can lend support for anything from seating and music to food and drinks. Their on-site chef, Petr, can cook everything from scratch backed by top-of-the-line Rationale ovens. What's more, many of the ingredients are sourced locally, with all the eggs used being free range and their homegrown Notley lamb being a particular house speciality. Having hosted over 2000 weddings in 30 years, Nick and Denise are certain their small team can cope with any eventuality and look forward to sharing their experience with you.

Our Perfect Wedding Day!

Notley Tythe Barn is a beautiful venue, with gorgeous grounds and a fantastic team. We communicated with Alison via email in the years/months leading up to our big day, and Jules and her team then coordinated and conducted the big day for us. The attention to detail, attentiveness and care from the whole team was outstanding! The food was delicious, and all our guests were very complimentary of the food/drinks. All dietary requirements were catered for, and the selection of menu choices is brilliant. The venue has had a makeover since we booked it almost two years ago, and while it always looked beautiful, the new flooring and special touches in the dancefloor area really have made the venue look fabulous. We had the wedding day of our dreams, and we cannot thank the whole Notley team enough. Thank you!

Great venue, but get everything in writing

The venue is beautiful no question. The day itself went very well and I was very happy with our host which is why I've given the stars I have. Our guests enjoyed their food. Our only complaint, and it's a big one, was a disagreement over what we agreed when it came to the skulls hanging up around the venue. We requested all stags heads be taken down, they agreed, but later stated that only encompassed the stuffed ones and refused point blank to take down the skulls when I'd made a point to say when booking that I wouldn't book unless it was done. They only offered to refund us everything we'd paid when they knew by that point (only six months before a bank holiday weekend wedding) that we wouldn't be able to rebook anywhere. This was a very upsetting part of the experience. However as I've said, the day itself was wonderful and everything went as planned so I wouldn't say snub this venue, just get everything in writing.

Perfect barn venue, brilliant food & service

Notley Tythe Barn was a magical venue for our wedding. The setting and the incredible 'old barn features' gave our wedding the look we were after. The food, all prepared by their own chef, was definitely a highlight. All the produce is locally sourced too. And finally, the staff on the day were absolutely amazing. We can definitely recommend Notley Tythe Barn!

The most seamless wedding day

Where to start with Notley. From the beginning of our wedding planning to the day itself, they were nothing but seamless, hugely accommodating and just the easiest people to work with. They accommodated our every wish - including letting us hire in long tables and letting my brother do a guest DJ set, as well as organising a last minute cocktail hour! The team are wonderful and really work with you to make sure your day is perfect - offering amazing advice to ensure the day runs without issue. On the day itself, Jules the event manager was phenomenal. She managed the whole day expertly - we barely noticed it was an event and not just a day we got to spend with all our loved ones. And I can’t forget the food - my goodness we’ve had so many compliments from our guests about the standard of the food. It was honestly incredible! Cannot recommend Notley highly enough.

Amazing Food, beautiful setting!!

We had the perfect day at Notley Tythe Barn. From our first visit - we were sold on this venue due to the food, which the chef was kind enough to let us try and was just incredible! Very large portions and incredible quality and choice, with guests with allergies catered for amazingly. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it!
The barn itself is beautiful so needs very little extra decorations to make it special.
All in all - would recommend this venue to anyone - pure perfection!

What a day!

Everyone at Notley Tythe Barn was fantastic and really helped our special day to be stress free. Alison was really helpful right from the initial booking and Jules was brilliant at keeping everything running on the big day.

The barn looked fantastic with very little effort from us and having the space around was a nice bonus.

The food was amazing and the dietary requirements of all our guests were catered for with no issues at all.

Just stunning

We recently got married at Notley Tythe Barn and it was just perfect. The teams were brilliant from start to finish. We only had our ceremony there and it didn't feel rushed, there wasn't any stress and it just looks stunning in our wedding photo's. From the first visit i know this was the barn i wanted to get married in.
