    Incredible

    Wow what can we say - if you're thinking about getting married here then just book it, you wont regret it.
    From the moment we viewed this beautiful venue we just knew it was the place we wanted to get married. The rustic feel, fairy lights/bunting and stunning views just felt like home.
    Julie is an absolute diamond, nothing was too much trouble and leading up to and on the day of the wedding she was so helpful. Her attention to detail made our day so special and not only did she look after us, she also looked after our guests too.
    Julie and her team made the barn look stunning and it was everything we ever dreamt of and more. They worked so hard all day/evening and everyone commented on how polite the staff were.
    During the quick turnaround from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast, Buddy was on hand and had guests in stitches (he's one of those people that just makes a dark room light up).
    Julie and her team asked us to view the barn before the wedding breakfast started so that we could take it all in for a moment. The transformation in such a short time left us speechless, it looked so beautiful and everything was set up perfectly. It really looked like an autumnal dream.
    The food was exceptional, all our guests commented on how lovely it was and the children's food also went down a treat. The puddings were out of this world and Julie and Lionel made sure that we had food despite having our children to feed first. There was even enough food for seconds (and thirds for some).
    The evening was just as lovely and still looked the part with many guests commenting on how beautiful it looked.
    Our wedding was very much a family day and the children were very much part of our day - we had quite a few things to keep them occupied and Julie and her team made sure they all had a good time which meant alot to us.
    We also stayed the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding - the rooms were so comfortable and spacious for us as a family (the breakfast was great too).
    Thank you so much to The Flying Fish for making our day so special - it will forever have a special place in our hearts 💕

    An amazing venue

    We had our wedding at the Flying Fish and it was such an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Julie and the whole team are so welcoming and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful the venue is and we were really lucky with the weather meaning the kids spent hours playing outside. Would definitely recommend this venue to anyone, really great value for money too! Thank you to everyone at The Flying Fish!

    Wonderful Day!

    What a wonderful day! From when we first viewed the barn to the end of our day Julie was always on hand and available with any questions we had. We took our own decorations and Julie and team set up exactly how we wanted and the venue looked beautiful. The food was amazing and our guests all said how good it was. The weather wasn’t on our side but the day ran perfectly with Julie and the team there. The rooms are really comfortable and breakfast was good. Thank you Flying Fish Wedding Barn for our wonderful day x

    Simply perfect

    A simply beautiful setting that had us enchanted from the minute we stepped through the doors at our first viewing. From the start of the process the wedding co-ordinator Julie has gone above and beyond, answering all of our questions promptly and graciously, ensuring that our day was exactly what we wanted. All of guests had the most incredible time and we received so many compliments on what a beautiful and perfect day it was. The ceremony room looked absolutely beautiful on the day and was turned around so quickly for both the wedding breakfast and for evening festivities. The food was outstanding and everybody was full and happy. The views were absolutely amazing and made for a perfect backdrop for photographs. The free accomodation for Bride and Groom was incredibly useful, comfortable and clean. We even had breakfast in our room in the morning, taking the time to enjoy our first married morning alone, sitting opening ours cards over coffee and a full english. All staff were professional, friendly and accommodating. We would love to thank you all and say to any potential couples considering The Flying Fish, DO IT!

    A better day than I could have dreamed of!

    The weather was not on our side unfortunately, but Julie and her team were honestly brilliant. They became wedding family and everything flowed wonderfully on the day. There was no pestering from anyone and any issues (if there were any) were swiftly dealt with away from myself or my husband. If I could do it again every week I would.. and I would be returning to the flying fish everytime!!!

    Summer days Wedding

    We can not rate the Whole Flying Fish team highly enough, especially our amazing planner Julie. From the first email to view the venue till the moment we left after the wedding nothing was too much trouble and our wedding went so smoothly that there was not a single minute of stress throught out the whole day.
    The venue is so stunning, the food is amazing that we received so many compliments after about it. The staff are so efficent and helpful.
    The accommodation is beautiful and the rooms large , airy and comfortable. I had 5 of us getting ready together with ease.
    Julie goes above and beyond to ensure the day is so smooth and there is not a moment of stress that she is worth her weight in gold.
    The Flying Fish is any bride and grooms dream venue that you will not be dissappointed in.
