Our Dream Wedding at Notley Tythe Barn – A Heartfelt Thank You
When we started searching for wedding venues in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, we sent enquiries to several places. Notley Tythe Barn stood out immediately – they were the first to respond and continued to be incredibly quick and helpful throughout the entire process. That responsiveness alone was a huge plus for us.
They scheduled a visit without delay, and once we saw the venue and met the team, we instantly cancelled all our other appointments. Sometimes you just know – and we knew we’d never find anything better than Notley. It was perfect.
Another huge advantage was their website. Being able to build our own quote online and understand the pricing from the start was so reassuring. No hidden costs, no surprises – just full transparency, which we really appreciated.
Chrystia was absolutely brilliant. She walked us through the venue and introduced us to the team. We even spent some time chatting in the kitchen with Chef Petr – and that’s where our excitement really grew. We had a Turkish-English wedding, and food was incredibly important to us. Chef Petr went above and beyond, preparing incredible Turkish dishes for our day. He truly blew us away!
The finance and admin side of the team was just as strong – responsive, organised, and flexible. We were able to tweak things as needed, and they always made us feel supported.
As for the venue itself – it’s beautiful in its simplicity. We didn’t want anything over-the-top, and the barn’s character and charm spoke for itself. The fairy lights added just the right touch of magic. We focused on table décor and small personal touches, which blended in beautifully with the space.
One of the best things about Notley is the availability of extra items – LOVE letters on the dancefloor, a sweet trolley, card box, and more. We booked almost all of them! Having everything available in-house made life so much easier. We didn’t have to run around sourcing things – everything was there and ready.
And then there was Ian, the beer donkey – what an absolute legend! He brought so much fun and joy to our sunny wedding day. Our guests adored him!
A special thank you to Jules, our event manager, who walked us through every detail and ensured the day ran smoothly. She made us feel calm, confident, and completely taken care of.
The bar, the massive dancefloor, the setup – it was all just perfect. With the bar next to the dancefloor, the party never stopped – people could grab a drink and keep dancing without missing a beat.
We could go on and on, but we’ll stop here to spare your eyes! 😊
We are endlessly grateful to the entire Notley team. It was the best decision to choose Notley Tythe Barn for our big day. Who knows – maybe we’ll be back to celebrate our 10th, 20th, or even 30th anniversary there!
With love

Emma Sent on 09/09/2026Our perfect wedding venue!
We couldn't have asked for a better venue - Notley Barn was the most beautiful setting, from the moment we first visited we knew it was where we wanted to get married. Everyone working at Notley were so helpful and friendly throughout the whole process, no ask ever felt too much. We visited on multiple occasions, and enjoyed being able to attend the wedding fair and food tastings. Our wedding day was just perfect, the staff were all so attentive and our front of house, Olivia, on the day was so helpful and a friendly face throughout the whole day. The food was amazing, everyone commented on how good it was! From beginning to end the day was incredible and we just wish we could relive the day all over again!Notley Tythe Barn's reply:
Dear Emma and Daniel,
Thank you for your gorgeous review! We are so pleased that you want to relive your special day all over again :) Olivia and her team on the day will be thrilled to hear that you felt well and truly looked after, and the chefs Petr and Daniela will appreciate your high praises of their food.

Brett Sent on 06/08/2026The best day at the best venue!!
We had the most amazing day celebrating our wedding at Notley Tythe Barn.
The team there were the best and made sure we were looked after from start to finish. From meeting Tinks on our first visit we just knew it had the family vibe we were looking for.
Alison and Lorraine then took over with the planning and they were so helpful and attentive, they treated every request seriously and made sure we were informed throughout.
On the big day itself Susan looked after us and she really is a credit to the business. In amongst the chaos she kept us calm and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.
All our guests said they had the most wonderful time and commented on how beautiful the venue was and also mentioned how incredible the food was.
Thank you all so much for giving us the most wonderful day and one that we will cherish forever.

Andrea Sent on 18/06/2026Magical day
We had our wedding at Notley, and it was truly a magical day in a beautiful setting. The weather started off wet but cleared to sunshine in the afternoon, which only added to the charm of the day.
The team were confident, charming, and immediately put us at ease. They supported us throughout the entire process, helping with all the finer details and ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Our guests were raving about it all day, as well as the exceptional service. By the end of the evening, people were genuinely rolling home feeling very full and very happy!
We were told by so many guests that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended, and that is a testament to the fabulous team at Notley and their wonderful venue. We honestly can’t praise them enough and are so grateful for everything they did to make our day so special.
Thank you to everyone at Notley for creating memories that will last a lifetime. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Notley Tythe Barn's reply:

Carmen Sent on 10/05/2026The best day ever!
We had the most amazing wedding day at Notley Tythe Barn.
In the run up to the wedding, Alison was very helpful and responsive via email to any queries. The team were happy for us to come and visit a few times to check out various things (and could also have a practice walk through with my bridesmaids the evening before the wedding). We were also invited for a food tasting - its £50 a head and you don't necessarily have the food from your menu, but it was definitely worth doing and they made it such a lovely occasion. We also had a meeting with our assigned coordinator, Susan, a few days before the day, which helped to feel reassured for the day.
The day itself was incredible. The venue looked absolutely gorgeous in the sun, and needed very minimal decoration. Susan put us completely at ease on the day and helped to create a lovely relaxed atmosphere for all the guests. She struck a perfect balance between checking in with us without it ever feeling overbearing. There were a few hitches with the mics/sound system but nothing that took away from how great the day was.
The waiting staff were polite and attentive - never letting anyone go without an empty glass in the drinks reception (the drinks packages are incredibly generous!) and being super quick to clear away glasses etc in the evening.
All the guest have commented on how outstanding the food was, with generous portions. We had lots of flexibility in customising our menu which I really appreciated.
Notley also offers a good selection of extras. We chose the pimp your prosecco trolley and Ian the beer donkey - which both went down very well with the guests.
My one tip for couples would just be to double check who's doing what in terms of your decor (e.g., stylist if you're having, Notley staff, the couple etc) -to make sure everything is done on the day. But as above, this didn't affect much in the grand scheme of things!
All in all, it was a truly special day and we will be forever grateful to the Notley team and the most gorgeous venue :)Notley Tythe Barn's reply:
Dear Carmen and Tom,
Thank you so much for your gorgeous review! Alison, Susan, Petr, all the waiters/ waitresses, and of course Ian are delighted that they made your special day a reality :) Your pictures show what a beautiful day you planned and we are so pleased that the additional extras were helpful and added to your celebrations.
We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness :)
All our love,
