    Fantastic Venue and Wonderful Day

    We had an amazing day for our wedding at Old Luxters.
    We chose the venue due to the beauthful setting and the rustic barn style felt really us. The venue is great, between the barn, marquee and courtyard, it all flowed so well and was a great size for our party.
    We also had beautiful pictures in the vineyard which came out amazing with the autumn leaves.
    The staff were great, from the planning stage where we were able to visit the venue multiple times, to the day of, where the service went smoothly without any hitches. The food was also incredible, especially the lamb, and the DJ included in the price kept the dancefloor full all night.
    The only negative I can think of was the planning document which is shared back and forth leading up to the day, where you detail out the various options for the day. We found it quite fiddly and had problems with the formatting. But just a minor gripe, as everything else was perfect.
    I also found the venue to be very good value for money compared with similar venues we visited.
    Would thoroughly recommend!

    Nothing but compliments for our incredible day!

    We had the most incredible wedding at Old Luxters Barn. Nothing was too much trouble - they were always on hand to answer any questions. You do have to pay for added extras like lights and crisps wall - I think this is the new normal for wedding venues. The warm, wooded venue suited our autumnal wedding perfectly and was a perfect backdrop for stunning videos and photography.

    A beautiful venue for a fantastic day

    We had a truly wonderful wedding at Old Luxters Barn. From the first time that we saw the venue, we fell in love with the beautiful setting and its relatively informal, rustic aesthetic was perfect. Our guests had a great day too and we received many comments about how beautiful the venue is.

    One of the main selling points of Old Luxters Barn is the diversity of space. We made use of the beautiful garden facing the vineyard for the drinks reception, took pictures in the vineyard itself and enjoyed the barn (for the ceremony and wedding breakfast) and the attractive courtyard and marquee for evening cocktails. The Luxters team decorated the barn and marquee beautifully and guests informed us that they liked the use of different spaces throughout the day.

    The food was lovely and the service was efficient. Everyone that we spoke to from the Luxters team in the run-up and on the day was also very friendly and professional and for the most part everything went smoothly.

    We had a small number of gripes that didn’t detract from an incredible experience on the day.

    Firstly, Old Luxters Barn rely solely on a planning document that gets emailed back and forth in the months and weeks leading up to your wedding day.. This is an unwieldy Word document full of images that constantly lead to formatting problems (which can cause concern that parts of the text get lost). It’s not user-friendly (and quite labour-intensive for the couple) and this approach could be looked at and improved.,

    Through this document, the venue gives you quite a lot of space to detail what you want them to do with your decorations and allows you to put your stamp on your day. This gives you more free reign with how you want the venue to look, but you are, therefore, more reliant on the staff in executing your vision and preferences. They also stress that the responsibility is on you to mention everything that you want them to do on the day precisely in this document. We worked quite hard to be detailed and were a little disappointed on the day when certain things weren’t actioned or put in the right place because the document hadn’t been checked carefully enough. One example was that our walk-in song (specified in the document) wasn’t played as the team didn’t know there was a song and hadn’t tested the music system. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but very solvable with a little more attention.

    Furthermore, it is worth noting that although the venue will say that there are lots of different options for decoration and suppliers and it’s all very customisable (and it is), what is less obvious at the time of booking is that many of these options, if you deviate from the standard, are prohibitively expensive.

    Response times on email could be better, particularly as you get close to the day, but we got the sense this is due to it being quite a small operation. Also, when we enquired about the different options in relation to certain elements (such as the drink packages or meal choices), we found, on a couple of occasions, that the team had just updated the cost sheet and not communicated why additional costs had been incurred.

    Nevertheless, it is a beautiful venue and we had a delightful and memorable day and would recommend Old Luxters Barn, although our advice would be that it is important for the bride and groom to be organised and proactive in the planning.

    Beautiful wedding venue

    We're so pleased that we chose Old Luxters Barn as our wedding venue. The team at Old Luxters are all really friendly and helpful. They were happy for us to visit whenever we needed to and always responded to our emails and queries quickly. They listened to how we wanted our wedding set up and supported with ensuring the day ran smoothly and to plan. The barn itself is beautiful but there's also a lovely garden, vineyard and woods nearby to get lovely photos in as well. We went for a 10 minute walk in our wellies and got some lovely photos overlooking the valley. We highly recommend Old Luxters as a wedding venue.

    Old Luxters barn was the perfect venue. The location is remote and beautiful surrounded by vineyards and woodland, but with easy access to Henley and Marlow nearby. From start to finish the communication from the team was excellent. They provide a function file to help guide you through all the organising, and this takes a huge stress off your shoulders. Their experience as wedding planners shines through, and we cannot praise Samantha and Annabel more highly. They looked after all the decorations with ease, and paid special attention to all the small details that we probably wouldn't have thought about ourselves. The food was also delicious and the team were flexible with menu options. It would be a mistake to miss out on this venue for your wedding!! (photographs by the brilliant @olliverphotography)

    Most magical day!

    The team at Old Luxters well and truly over exceeded our expectations. From the start of our booking to our wedding day they were so helpful throughout and we always felt at ease knowing they had everything under control. The set up was everything we wanted and more and the food was incredible. The general operations of the day couldn’t have also run any smoother. But to top it all off the location and setting was stunning! Overall we couldn’t fault anything about our day and we can’t thank the team enough for putting on such a magical day for us! We’ve already recommended to everyone we know 😊 would hands down pick them to do it all over again if we could! Thank you Christie, Sam and Lucie you’re the best!

    The perfect wedding venue

    Thank you to all at Luxters for a fantastic wedding day that went by without a hitch! We got to be outside for the ceremony which was our dream. All our guests commented on the beautiful venue. We would highly recommend having your wedding here.

    Truly magical

    Old Luxters Barn is a truly magical venue to get married at – the barn, farmhouse and grounds are all beautifully maintained. The Old Luxters team are extremely helpful, friendly and unobtrusive, and set up the ceremony, breakfast and evening exactly as we wanted, and more. Because of how efficient and well organised the team were, we were truly able to relax the morning of our wedding and the whole day ran extremely smoothly.

    The food was exquisite and each guest thoroughly enjoyed it – the Luxters team were really accommodating for specific dietary requirements and made sure each guest was well looked after.

    We can’t say thank you enough to the team for making our day so special and enjoyable, we can’t recommend Old Luxters as a venue to be married at – you won’t regret doing so!
