Exceptional from start to finish

Old Luxters Barn proved to be an absolutely fantastic venue for our wedding day.
Our wedding planner, Lucie, did everything to get us organized and make us feel comfortable. She kept in regular contact with updates leading up to the wedding.
We risked the English May weather and held the ceremony in the garden under the enormous tree. Lucie’s team were prepared for the “plan B” ceremony which would be held in the barn if it rained. The garden and vineyards make a beautiful setting.
The barn is both cute and beautiful and can be decorated pretty much however you want. We went to town hanging greenery from the roof beams. Lucie was very open to ideas and helpful with the design, and also very clear about what we were/were not allowed to do (no hammering nails into the walls – fair enough!).
There isn’t much to be saved in doing your own catering due to the corkage and services fees, but once committed to the onsite kitchen we discovered their menu was absolutely stunning. For mains, we had a vague idea about Lebanese food. The chef provided a bespoke menu for us to taste from and it was all delicious!
The farmhouse is worth considering if the budget can stretch. Our family were delighted to be able to amble straight to bed after one-too many drinks. It’s large, characterful and comfortable.
Finally, the staff on the night were brilliant, we barely noticed they were there! They ensure that everything goes to plan and avoid disrupting your day wherever possible, and are all very professional and polite.
All in all, an exceptional venue and service from start to finish. Thank you to Lucie and her wonderful team for making it the best day of our lives!

Wedding Day 08-11-2025

Thank you so much to Old Luxters Barn and the wonderful team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

From the very beginning, the team were so helpful and organised, guiding us through every step of the planning process and keeping communication clear and easy even with the hundreds of questions that we had!! They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting or more supportive staff.

All of our guests were so impressed with the venue and service, and we felt completely relaxed knowing everything was taken care of.. We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make our day so special.. thank you again for everything!

The most perfect Wedding venue you could possibly imagine!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow—where do we even begin?

We booked Old Luxters Barn and Brewery for our wedding and from the very start, Lucie made everything feel so seamless and special.

The vineyard was an absolutely magical setting for our ceremony — truly unforgettable and perfect for such an important day.

Every part of the venue looked stunning and the care, attention to detail and warmth from Lucie and her team made the entire experience feel effortless. We and all our guests were blown away by how beautiful and welcoming everything was. Charlie and Sarah were both on hand in the lead up to the wedding with Isobel being the absolute best for the on-the-day operations and ensuring everything was running to perfection.

What stood out even more was the team’s professionalism and support in the lead-up to the wedding. From answering all our questions, to helping us plan the perfect layout and timing for the day, to even allowing us to design our entire menu from scratch(!!) Lucie went above and beyond to make everything stress-free and as flexible as possible.

Choosing Old Luxters Barn and Brewery was without a doubt the very best decision we made for our wedding venue.

We feel so blessed to have celebrated our day in such a magical place and are beyond grateful for everything Lucie and the team did to make it so special and tailored to us. As a Bride planning the majority of our wedding, it was deeply reassuring to know that Lucie and the team had everything in hand and it made the entire experience enjoyable rather than stressful.

If you’re considering booking Old Luxters Barn and Brewery, definitely do it — you will not regret it!

Thank you so much Lucie, Charlie, Sarah and Isobel ❤️

Best wedding venue

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. From start to finish, everything was seamless—the setting was breathtaking, the service was faultless, and every detail was handled with so much care and professionalism. Our guests were blown away by the atmosphere and how beautifully everything came together. A very special thank you to Charlie and Annabelle, who went above and beyond to make sure the day ran smoothly and that we felt completely looked after. Their warmth and attention to detail made all the difference. We will be forever grateful and can’t recommend this venue highly enough!

Gorgeous wedding venue and wonderful staff

We knew we wanted to get married at Old Luxters Barn the day we went to visit. The staff were so helpful and friendly, and the setting is beautiful. They answered all our questions and were really flexible, allowing us to hold a date for two weeks without putting down any deposit, while we made our mind up. (We didn't even need the 2 weeks!) Their communication throughout the year of planning was brilliant, always giving us clear guidance and answers. We really enjoyed going for our menu tasting day a few months before the wedding, to sample all the food and drinks - that was a special day. And our wedding day itself was amazing! The staff were excellent, the food was great and the onsite farmhouse was perfect for little ones to go to bed while the adults could keep dancing! Obviously it adds up with all the suppliers etc, but it was worth every penny and definitely good value for money. We felt completely confident in the venue and staff to help make the day go perfectly, and it really did. We loved every minute and didn't need to worry about anything.

Perfect barn venue

Old Luxters was the perfect venue for our summer wedding. The staff were so helpful leading up to and on the day. The outside and inside was beautiful and made for the perfect wedding day. Expensive but worth it.

Our perfect wedding venue

We couldn't have dreamt of a better venue for our wedding - not only was it beautiful (the barn, the garden with all the colourful flowers, and of course the vineyard), but the team itself were the reason we had such a seamless day. They were on hand throughout the whole process to answer questions, and on the day itself, they brought my whole vision so perfectly to life.

A million thank you's to the whole team - and we also love that we can celebrate our anniversary every year with a bottle of their delicious sparkling wine!

Perfect wedding venue

We had our wedding reception at Old Luxters Barn and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue.

The barn has such a warm, rustic charm that instantly makes you feel at home. The setting is beautiful and the staff were incredibly helpful throughout the whole planning process and on the day itself. Everything ran smoothly, and our guests absolutely loved it. If you’re after a venue with character, heart, and a genuinely welcoming vibe, Old Luxters Barn is a wonderful choice.

A magical wedding venue!

From the moment we walked into Old Luxters Barn, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The layout was perfect for what we were looking for - barn, courtyard and marquee all close together, with the on-site farmhouse a few seconds walk away. The barn is magical, particularly with the fairy lights and festoon lights which we opted for both inside and outside. And the courtyard space was perfect for the reception drinks and canapés. The entire team were fantastic throughout the planning process and on the day! Their professionalism, efficiency and friendliness was one of the main things that drew us to the venue. No request was too much and they really made us feel special - we particularly loved the private food tasting that we had a few months before our wedding! The onsite farmhouse was wonderful for the night of our wedding too - lovely rooms, very comfortable and a nice addition of breakfast ingredients for the morning. Our wedding day was the most magical, memorable day of our whole lives and we absolutely have Old Luxters Barn to thank for that. So thank you so much team, particularly Beverley who was instrumental in our planning process and Annabel who was there for us on the day ensuring everything went smoothly. We are so happy we chose this venue!

The most magical day of our lives!

We absolutely loved every moment of our wedding day at Old Luxters Barn! From the moment we saw the venue, we knew it was the one. It is so cosy and rustic, with gorgeous wooden beams and a beautiful cobbled courtyard, and provided the perfect backdrop for our boho autumn wedding in November. The colours of the trees in the woods around the barn were stunning and the vines served as a perfect reminder of our engagement on a vineyard in Italy. The staff - especially Bev and Charlie - are wonderful; so helpful, friendly and always on hand to provide advice and calming words in the moments leading up to saying 'I do!' The Farmhouse on site was also the perfect place to stay for 2 nights - providing a place to sleep, eat, get ready with all the bridesmaids, and unwind after the day. We miss it already, and will never forget it. Thank you so much! Chloe & Mike xxxxxx

September 2024 Wedding

We had the most extraordinary wedding at Old Luxters Barn in September 2024, and it truly felt like a fairytale come to life. The barn, with its beautiful twinkling lights, created the perfect romantic atmosphere, while the courtyard, garden, marquee, and vineyard gave our guests plenty of space to explore and enjoy. The entire venue had this magical, enchanting vibe that made our day unforgettable.

A huge shoutout to Beverley, who was an absolute star throughout the entire planning process! She was incredibly quick to respond to all of our questions, no matter how small, and her attention to detail made all the magic happen. From start to finish, Beverley made sure everything was seamless, and her support allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our day.

The staff and organisers were amazing, making sure everything ran smoothly and with such care. Our guests loved floating between the different spaces—whether it was relaxing in the courtyard, taking in the vineyard views, or celebrating in the barn, each part of Old Luxters added something special to the day.

If you're looking for a venue that feels like a fairytale, Old Luxters Barn is it. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect place or a better team to bring our dream wedding to life! Thank you, Beverley, and the whole team, for making it all so magical!

Beautiful venue for our outdoor wedding

Selecting Old Luxters Barn for our wedding was an excellent choice. The staff, especially Beverley, were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help. They allowed us to visit as often as we needed and were quick to respond to our emails and questions. They paid close attention to our preferences for the wedding setup and ensured everything went off without a hitch. The barn and courtyard are stunning, but what truly stood out for us was the possibility of an outdoor wedding in the garden overlooking the vineyard. The picturesque surroundings provided a perfect backdrop for our ceremony and photos. We even walked through the nearby woods (bride in flip-flops) to capture some fantastic photos with Hambleden valley in the background. We wholeheartedly recommend Old Luxters Barn as a wedding venue.

Everything and more!

Old Luxters Barn was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding venue and more. From the moment we first viewed we knew it was the place we had to get married in. The team have been super helpful along the planning journey and we’re extremely quick to respond to any query- no matter how big or small!
When it came to the big day they captured everything we wanted! The decorations were fab and the staff were helpful, friendly and attentive. They helped keep us calm and made the day run smoothly. Everyone of our guests has commented on what a special day it was and a beautiful venue to get married in. Wish we could do it all over again. Honestly can’t thank Old Luxters enough and cannot recommend them enough!

Beautiful Barn Wedding

We had a fantastic day at this absolutely stunning venue. The barn has so much character and the courtyard with stretch marquee gives so much flexibility and options for the different parts of the day. There are loads of places to get some beautiful pictures including the garden of the farmhouse and the picturesque vineyard. The food was excellent and the staff worked hard to make sure we had the absolute best day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
