Laura Sent on 05/04/2024WOW - They couldn't have done more for us - excellent
The best day of our lives and me and my now husband couldn't be more thankful to Bredenbury. Before booking Bredenbury we visited over 17 wedding venues in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire - we fell in love instantly, there is no need for a crazy amount of extra expense on decorations, the venue speaks for itself. The fact that it was no corkage just added to why we wanted to book and the team were so friendly. In the lead up to the wedding they were brilliant, we booked far in advance and brought over all our family members to come see the venue, they were so flexible, understanding and welcoming - they couldn't do enough for us. On the wedding day they had decorated for us by the time we had arrived and all we had to do on the day was to enjoy it - which was perfect. It really was the best day of our lives, all the comments from our family and friends was how beautiful the venue was. They kept the day running so smooth and we didn't need to think about a thing. -

An absolutely incredible venue and the most amazing day! Our wedding planner was Harriet and she worked tirelessly throughout the day making sure everything was perfect, and perfect it all was! Thank you all so much for all your hard work from the initial meeting, to the food trial, to the final meeting and then the day itself. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you! -

Catherine Sent on 23/01/20255* Highly recommend
The venue itself is stunning. The buildings, grounds and interior decorations are all beautiful and immaculately presented. From the moment you turn down the lane it is so picturesque, you know you've found somewhere special. It's exactly what we were imagining for our wedding venue.
The layout is perfect, with ample space for guests to mingle and move about, and great accessibility for older and disabled guests. Ours was a winter wedding, and while most of the day was inside it wasn't cramped and we could still enjoy the beautiful grounds through the expansive windows that run along the whole barn.
All of the venue is stunning, but practicality-wise the Bridal Suite warrants a special mention. Room length mirrors, plenty of room for the bridal party to get ready, have their makeup and hair done, and if there's time to relax as well. Drinks were served from 11 onwards, and it has it's own toilets and shower.
From our first meeting at Bredenbury the staff were exceptional. They gave a reassuring air of professionalism and experience, with just the right level of excitedness for our day without it feeling forced. We were really impressed by how responsive the whole team were, with speedy replies to any questions we had during the planning. This is something we particularly appreciated as we only gave ourselves 7 weeks to plan our big day.
Value for money wise it felt tricky to gauge when we were trying to choose a venue as the headline figure is rarely what you'll end up paying, with different venues charging different amounts for different things. Not the case with Bredenbury. With their No Corkage policy and generosity in being able to use whatever props they already have, any extras were non-essentials of our own choosing.
No Corkage is pretty significant. Some venues wanted to charge £20/bottle, so not having to pay this and being able to supply not only our own wine but beers, gin and soft drinks for the drinks reception and wedding breakfast was not only a massive saving but also made the occasion more personal for us. The bar staff and catering team were excellent, pouring and serving drinks, warming our mulled wine and setting up the gin bar. Once your guests have drunk you dry the venue's bar is well stocked and standard pub pricing.
We wanted a Christmas wedding and seeing in early November that they had a date available that December we couldn't resist. 7 weeks isn't long to organise a wedding with nearly 100 guests, and we couldn't have done it without the Bredenbury team being so organised. Our assigned event manager, Harriet, was brilliant in the runup and on the day, as were all the other managers and staff we spoke with. The Wedding Bible they fill out with you is a great idea and nails down all the finer details to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible on the day.
We didn't want to have to spend the day before and morning of our wedding worrying about set up and decorations, but needn't have worried as Bredenbury did all of this for us. A meeting beforehand clarified what we wanted where; we simply dropped off boxes of stuff the day before and rocked up in the morning to find everything laid out as hoped.
This organisation extended to the third party suppliers, of which Bredenbury have an extensive list of local recommendations. We booked the ceiling lights with Cotswold Wedding Co. and didn't have to do anything else. The band, Apollo Gold (incredible!!) set up without any hassle and didn't have any issues with Bredenbury's noise limiter. Our florist Katrina Bevis hadn't been there before, but again had no problem getting everything in place on the morning.
On-site accommodation was good for close family and friends, but there's not enough for the majority of guests and the lack of a dedicated honeymoon suite is a bit of a shame. If you want privacy for your first night as a married couple it means taking over an entire lodge. The quality and comfort of the rooms is excellent, though, and the continental breakfast served the morning after in the East Lodge was delicious, with ample options for Vegan and Gluten Free.
Jenkinsons are the exclusive caterer for Bredenbury and have an extensive menu for nibbles, the wedding breakfast and dinner. The menu and ordering process is clear, and pricing is what we expected to pay. Food and service was as slick and faff-free as everything else. A real delight.
On the day, Harriet and the catering manager were absolute superstars. Zero stress, everything ran to time and as planned, and they were always available if we had any questions or needed help.
The whole day was perfect and exactly what we wanted. I don't think we could have achieved this without the exceptional organisation of Harriet and the team. The entire process was very slick, zero stress, and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Bredenbury Court Barns to anyone looking to get married in a countryside paradise. -

Sophie Sent on 27/12/2024An Unforgettable Wedding Experience at Bredenbury Court Barns
From the moment we stepped foot into Bredenbury Court Barns, we knew this was the venue for us. It was the first and only venue we viewed as we were blown away by how gorgeous the venue is. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and impeccably maintained grounds that set the perfect backdrop for our special day.
The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. From our first consultation to the last dance, their professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional. Harriet was absolutely brilliant and I don’t know what we would have done without her!
The food was another highlight—our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! Jenkinsons are amazing, they helped us personalise our menu perfectly!
We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue to have our wedding. The day couldn’t have been more perfect! Thank you to everyone at Bredenbury Court Barns for making our wedding day nothing short of magical! -

Ellie Sent on 02/02/2025The best experience we could hope for!
There truly aren't words to describe how incredible Bredenbury Court Barns and their entire team of fantastic staff were through the planning process and the day itself. They were so friendly, supportive and nothing was ever too much. From quick replies to any questions that popped to mind to planning meetings that left us feeling prepared and ready to the day being set up beyond perfectly. Our amazing wedding coordinator Lianna spent the days and months (years really!) leading up to our big day making sure everyone detail was perfect, that everything was incorporated that we'd dreamed of and made sure we didn't feel a moment of stress from start to finish. All throughout the building from the bridal booth, to the orangery to the oak barn was beautifully light and open - even with our wedding being the end of October - and we had so many compliments about this! There aren't enough words to say thank you and explain just how much we'd recommend this venue to everyone -

Bredenbury if everything you could hope for, and more
Our wedding at Bredenbury Court Barns was nothing short of an absolute dream from the very first viewing to our wedding day. We couldn’t haven’t asked for a more perfect, beautiful and cosy venue to host our October wedding. It’s everything you could hope for and more.
We felt so at ease in the capable hands of Harriet, who made sure everything went seamlessly , and who was a genuinely positive and caring presence throughout our day.
Jenkinson’s catering was absolutely exceptional - both the food and the quality of service. Our guests continuously raved about their meals - with most saying it was the best they’ve ever had!
We will always look back at our wedding day as the happiest day of our lives and we are so glad we chose Bredenbury to give us that experience, and who made it possible for us.
Bredenbury Court Barns will forever hold a special place in our hearts. -

A truly beautiful venue
We recently got married at Bredenbury Court Barns and it was a truly magical day, made even better by our incredible co-ordinator Harriet who couldn’t do enough for us.
The venue itself is stunning and received so many compliments both from our guests and suppliers. The caterers were great and the fact it’s a no corkage venue is definitely a bonus and saved us lots on alcohol and soft drinks.
If you’re thinking of booking here it’s worth knowing that the venue do encourage you to use their preferred suppliers when it comes to evening entertainment - there is some flexibility here. It’s also worth being aware that if you have your heart set on an outdoor confetti shot, or things like cold sparks/dry ice for the first dance, there are some restrictions so it’s good to check and know before you commit. It didn’t put us off booking and it really was the perfect venue for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. -

Nataline Sent on 18/01/2025A brilliant and beautiful location for a wedding!
I want to say a massive thank you to Bredenbury Court Barns for hosting our wedding. From the start they were super amazing and accommodating to us. They won us over with their care and support even when we had a pickle in the beginning.
Olivia was super helpful from the start and throughout the year we were planning she offered huge amount of support and suggestions.
We typed in “orangery weddings” in google when we were first looking because I was keen to get a ceremony in an orangery and Bredenbury popped up after much searching. Once we saw the Orangery we cancelled every other viewing we had across the country because we felt we found the perfect place, and nothing compared to the reception with the beautiful windows that brought all the light in. The grounds were absolutely spectacular and gorgeous. It was a no brainer for us to pick such a beautiful venue. They brought my ideas to life and we were able to get support on anything from recommendation of suppliers, to ideas on decor to their favourite meals from Jenkinson’s. They fully outdid themselves in love for us. We can’t forget it.
Our wedding day was exceptional with Lianna helping us all the way. She was a breath of fresh air. She cared about all the little details and made us feel relaxed and had a good laugh with us. The fact she was there 100% of the way, before the wedding, during the wedding, and even after is unmatched! Thank you Lianna for really being there to make our wedding day smooth and relaxing.
The food was incredible too and we often think about how sad it is that we didn’t finish our second plates, we think about it a lot.
Thank you for the wonderful journey BCB, you blew us away with your integrity, kindness, and genuine support! -
