We are extremely happy we chose The Moat Barn and Taproom as the venue for our wedding. We went with the rustic theme and were not disappointed. The wedding ceremony arrangements felt intimate and magical! The service provided by the wedding team from initial planning through to our wedding day was superb. On the day, the wedding coordinator had such amazing drive and enthusiasm, supported by a great team, that made our day flow seamlessly through to the end. It was a very hot day so our guests enjoyed drinks and canapés in the garden. The quality of food at the wedding breakfast and service was excellent. The Taproom for the evening reception is a good size as we had a band play as well as the resident DJ. After our special day, it was wonderful to stay in the Bridal suite at the venue. Thanks to the Moat, we had a brilliant wedding!

We settled on E Street for our wedding after looking for somewhere that felt special which would suit the relaxed and easy vibe we were going for. We initially met with Crimble, who sold us on thE venue and had so many incredibly helpful suggestions about how the day could run, both logistically and to give it a personalised feel. We met with Crimble and Aaron to discuss canapes, menus for the wedding breakfast, kids menus. We also had a chance to taste and select drinks for the day. We had good communication in the close run up to the day with Nishant, Anthony and Phillippe. We used the rooms at The Angel Inn, East House and Ryde House - all a stone’s throw away - for guests the night before and night of and there was plenty of nearby accommodation for other guests. The day itself was absolutely perfect, really relaxed and everything ran seamlessly. We did very little in the way of decoration and extras but it really wasn’t necessary because it’s such a beautiful venue. The canapés and meal were incredible, the bar was well stocked and the staff on the day were lovely. It was such a great day and we really feel it’s a bit of a hidden gem as wedding venues go. Thank you Nishant and team!

The venue was perfect for our wedding and the staff went above and beyond to help us on our day! Crimble was incredibly responsive and helpful at every step of the planning process. We couldn’t have done it without her!

Don't think I've ever danced so much in my life! Loved how intimate it was, everyone was nearby so I got to see all my guests properly. The staff were absolutely lovely and so helpful. The DJ you provided as part of our package was fab, didn't bat an eye at our more unconventional song choices and got everyone moving. Oh and the food was so good. Those roast potatoes!! I dropped one on my dress and the gravy stain still reminds me of how good that food was ?? Wish I could do it all over again

When choosing our venue, we wanted to stay local and support one of our local venues. We came across The Mill and booked a viewing with Conor. Conor showed us around, gave us all the information we needed including availability, pricing etc. and providing us with full transparency which allowed us to check everything against our budget and ideal dates. We booked straight after our viewing as we could not get the thought of marrying there out of our heads, the venue is absolutely stunning. We had 6 months to plan our wedding, Conor worked with us every step of the way and arranged our tastings and sent through all information we needed to get our invites out, check menus etc. and we even arranged our Engagement Photoshoot to take place on site! We enjoy the venue so much, we visited a number of times for dinner ahead of our big day because we love it so much. We got married on 13th June 2025 and the day was incredible, it couldn’t have been better. We loved every minute, all staff were helpful and Conor ran the day smoothly and made us feel so at ease. I even got to feed the ducks in my wedding dress, which was honestly a once in a lifetime experience.

We very recently held our Wedding at the Red Barn and it’s hard to express in words just how much of an amazing day we had. We fell in love with the venue last December; the character and rustic charm of the main room with the beams and fireplace creates such a warm and relaxing atmosphere, with the beautiful Christmas decorations up it is simply magical and we knew instantly this was where we wanted to get married. So many people commented on how beautiful the room looked and how wonderful the venue was. We want to say a very heartfelt thank you to all the staff at the Red Barn for making our day so memorable. A special thank you to Marilyn who took over our wedding planning 3 months before the day; she was truly fantastic, warm and friendly and super organised!! I knew the first time we met that I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing, she made the whole day stress free and to be honest everything just flowed and I didn’t have to get involved in a thing! I have to also say very well done to Ferri the chef and all the kitchen team, the food was absolutely fantastic! (another reason why we chose this venue in the first place) and everyone praised it – especially the individual beef wellingtons which were tender and cooked to perfection. We wish the Red Barn all the success in the future and we fully recommend the venue to future couples looking for their dream venue, we will be seeing you soon!

We had our day in November 2024 at Papillon in Southampton. The venue itself is amazing! We had so many guests comment on how beautiful the space was! The staff were so polite, helpful and friendly throughout all of my emails, phone calls and drop-ins. Their flexibility was really helpful throughout the process too. The food and drinks were great, accommodating all dietary requirements. The sound system for our evening of dancing was fantastic also! Cannot recommend Papillon enough! Thank you for making our day so special!

We had a brilliant experience at Worplesdon Place. We just held our reception there having got married in a local church. Everything was planned to pin point precision so it all ran smoothly on the day. All of the staff, especially Oli and Clayton behind the bar went out of their way to be attentive to our guests making brilliant cocktails. Food was superb and the guests all commented on the quality of the breakfast the next morning. We will be back for an anniversary dinner next year and hope to be regular visitors when passing. Cannot thank the staff and Donna enough

Certainly! Here’s a warmer and more appreciative version of your wedding venue review: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Service – The Perfect Wedding Day We recently had our wedding at this venue, and I can honestly say the team on the day were nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made our day absolutely unforgettable. Every detail was thought of and handled with such ease and confidence that we were able to completely relax and enjoy ourselves. The team went above and beyond at every opportunity—not just meeting, but far exceeding our expectations. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their calm, friendly presence made a huge difference throughout the day. So many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything ran and how welcoming and attentive the staff were. It was clear that they truly cared about making our day special, and they absolutely succeeded. We are so incredibly grateful to the whole team for their hard work, warmth, and impeccable service.

From the first viewing of the venue we were made to feel so welcome and at ease. Such a stunning little venue. So many guests commented on what a wonderful pub it is. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. We are the simple fun filled day here and it is lovely we can visit regularly and know that we got married there. The room for the overnight stay was super lovely.
