    Where do we even begin?

    From the very first time we visited Eden Barn and met the Harker family, we knew we had found the place where we wanted to get married. There was something incredibly special about the venue, but more importantly, there was something about the people behind it that made us feel immediately at home.

    From that first visit, throughout the booking process, the months of planning and preparation, our wedding day itself and even the day after, we always felt genuinely valued and looked after. We never felt like we were simply another couple having a wedding at the venue. We felt like our wedding really mattered to them.

    That is something that is difficult to put into words. Eden Barn is clearly a very special place, but what makes it even more so is the Harker family and every member of their team. Their care, attention and warmth made such a difference to our experience. Nothing ever felt like someone was simply doing their job. There was always a genuine personal touch, and we felt supported whenever we needed anything.

    Our guests have all commented on how beautiful the surroundings and venue were, but they have also gone out of their way to mention how wonderful the staff were. They noticed the same things we did: the warmth, attentiveness and genuine care that ran through the whole day.

    For us, Eden Barn became so much more than simply the place we got married. It became a huge part of one of the most important and memorable weeks of our lives, and we will always be incredibly grateful to the Harkers and their team for that.

    We knew from the moment we visited and met the Harker family that this was going to be the place for us, and looking back now, we could not have made a better choice.

    Thank you for making us feel so special, for making our wedding everything we dreamed it would be, and for giving us memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

    We genuinely could not recommend Eden Barn highly enough. And whilst we are sad that our wedding is over, we know this definitely won’t be our last visit. We will absolutely be back one day. ❤️

    A wedding venue that exceeds expectations

    Eden barn is the perfect wedding venue if you value rusticity, elegance and countryside scenery. Tucked into a country lane in the Eden valley, you truly feel like the only people in the world on your wedding day. The barn itself could be used without any further decoration if you wished, it’s grounded, authentic and the perfect mix of glamourised rustic. With your own personal touches it becomes something else, a little slice of whimsy your family and friends can share with you. The service is impeccable, from early stages all the way through it’s made simple, prompt, professional and they think and handle everything you need. We cannot thank the harker family and southcott catering enough for their service. The bar is amazing filled with the best range of drinks, the food was fantastic, the venue is the perfect size where it feels breathable but not so big the wedding party is too spread out. There is grass for garden games, a large patio for the main social grouping and a tucked away seated area for those wanting a little more air. Although not the cheapest wedding venue, you certainly get your value for money. If it is within your means, I would highly recommend.

    Absolutely perfect

    Everything ran like clockwork on the day, it went perfectly and we were so relaxed the whole day. The Eden Barn team were great, from our first viewing right to the end. Choosing Eden Barn made so many aspects of the day so easy. All of our guests thought the venue was beautiful and so well-run. Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be.

    Amazing venue and staff!

    We got married at Eden Barn and it was fantastic! The barn is such a beautiful venue, loads of photo opportunities!
    Cliff and the team are fantastic we didn't have to worry about anything during the day because they had everything handled, they set up the aisle, dining area and lounge area better than what we imagined.
    Eden barn work with Southcott catering and the food is amazing!
    I would definitely recommend this venue, I'd love to attend a wedding here as a guest! ❤️

    The perfect venue!

    Wow where do we start. From the moment we walked into Eden Barn we immediately knew it was our venue. The Harker Family made us feel so welcome and calm and we knew they would be the best people to handle our special day. Throughout the whole process, they were always there for us. They made our wedding day better than we could have imagined and everything went so smooth. We wish we could relive it all again. Thank you all so much for making our wedding the perfect day. Love The Coakley’s xx

    Our Dream Wedding Brought to Life by the Harker Family

    From the moment we visited Eden Barn and met the lovely Carolyn, we knew it was the one. Carolyn and her family, who own and run the venue together, made us feel completely at ease from the start. Their warmth, experience and confidence reassured us that our wedding day would be everything we dreamed of, and it truly was.

    Eden Barn is breathtaking. The barn itself is full of charm with soft fairy lights, a beautiful bar and a stylish lounge area. The grounds are stunning and we even had our own private bride and groom lounge, which was such a lovely quiet space to escape to during the day.

    The food was absolutely amazing, recommended by Eden Barn, and everything ran so smoothly thanks to the Harker family’s care and attention to detail. I had been so stressed in the run up to the day, but once it began I realised I had nothing to worry about. They had thought of absolutely everything, even small details I had forgotten.

    Throughout the day they felt like part of our family, so caring, thoughtful and genuinely invested in making our wedding perfect, Cive and Andrea even reassured me that everything was going to be ok when I was just about to walk down the aisle as I was a nervous reck. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food tasted and how exceptional the service felt.

    We could not recommend Eden Barn enough. It was the best day of our lives and the Harker family played a huge part in that. Thank you so much for making our dream day a reality.

    The loveliest day by the loveliest family

    Where to begin! I can not thank the whole Eden Barn team enough for making mine and Iain's wedding day so special. From start to finish they were so supportive, accommodating, friendly and are just the nicest people.

    They made the planning process a breeze and nothing felt like too much. I definitely felt at times I was asking too many questions / sending too many emails, but the team never made me feel that way and always responded promptly.

    I'll never forget waiting to walk down the aisle and seeing the whole team there with wide supportive smiles. The experience felt so personal and we really appreciated the close family touch. The venue was gorgeous too, even better than I remembered. Everything ran like clockwork and the food was great.

    Also, there was a minor mishap (groom's fault ;)) at the end of the night and Cliff and Carolyn were so helpful and accommodating! Thank you again!!

    Thank you so much to everyone at Eden Barn for making it such a perfect day. We couldn't recommend it more.

    Impeccable family run venue

    Wow. We owe huge, massive, enormous thanks to everyone at Eden Barn for all of their hard work in the months running up to and the day of our April wedding. We absolutely loved every single moment of the day and that was all thanks to the Harkers’ and Southcott’s amazing organisation and calm manner with us. Every single thing was exceptional and ran so smoothly which meant we could completely relax and enjoy the celebrations. So many of our guests commented on what a beautiful venue it was and how much they enjoyed their sharing platters and the exceptional sticky toffee pudding! Thanks for letting us have a riotous day we will simply never forget! We are thrilled to say we got married at Eden Barn and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone considering marrying in the beautiful Eden Valley.
