    Amazing wedding day

    Sandhole were brilliant from booking a viewing to the day itself. From getting engaged I decided I wanted to make my own wedding cake. Sandhole were brilliant they allowed me to set up early. A few months before the day I asked if anyone had booked for the day before and they had not so Sandhole reserved the day for me to go and set up. They coordinated with the caterers that there would be table clothes so I could set up the guestbook table and the dessert table before the day! The service was outstanding from start to finish and I cannot thank them enough for helping us have the most perfect day!

    Hi Molly, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that your experience with Sandhole was such a positive one from start to finish. It is wonderful that you were able to set everything up just as you had imagined, especially with your own wedding cake, a truly special touch. We are delighted the day was everything you hoped for. Best wishes for the future, The Sandhole Oak Barn Team

    Thank you for our perfect day.

    I did not want to leave! We fell in love with Sandhole before we'd even got off the driveway. The staff were friendly and responsive, the venue is beautiful inside and out. You don't have an option to choose different caterers and have to use Top Table - but they were also wonderful so it was nice to have one less decision! The layout of the bridal suite and dressing room was also a big plus. I am so happy we chose Sandhole.

It’s lovely to hear how welcome you felt from the moment you arrived, and we’re so pleased you were happy with both the venue and the team at Top Table. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos. Best wishes, The Sandhole Oak Barn Team

    The most beautiful venue

    After deciding that we fancied getting married by water, we fell in love with Sandhole. The location was perfect and the venue itself is stunning and so well thought out. Communication and organisation with the team couldn't have been easier - they were there to answer all our silly little questions and helped guide us through the planning process in a very laid back way - you can tell they've done it hundreds/thousands of times before.
    On the day, the getting ready room and small barn/shepherds hut were the perfect spaces to get ready. We were also able to leave all our DIY'd stuff in the cool room the day before so didn't need to stress about that.
    All of our guests said how beautiful the venue was, the space was perfect for our 82 guests and the lay out was great. We were so lucky with the weather and were able to spend plenty of time outside (and even got the perfect golden hour shots!)
    The guest rooms and the bridal suite were lovely and breakfast was great.
    We couldn't recommend Sandhole more and would happily do it all over again!! THANK YOU!

    Hi Emma, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so pleased Sandhole was everything you were looking for and more. It’s lovely to hear that the planning felt relaxed and supported, and that the day itself ran smoothly from start to finish. We’re thrilled you made the most of the setting and that your guests enjoyed it just as much as you did. Wishing you both all the best. Best wishes, The Sandhole Oak Barn Team

    Fantastic Wedding Venue

    Sandhole provided my daughter & her husband with a fantastic wedding day. Grace, the wedding coordinator was fabulous & kept everything running smoothly. Top Table catering was also top notch.
    Having accommodation on site was the cherry on the cake. Can't praise enough.

    Sandhole Oak Barn's reply:

    A Fairytale Barn Wedding

    Words can’t describe our love for Sandhole. Not only did the venue make everyone speechless, but we are so grateful for all the figures behind it supporting us every step of the way. Nothing was too much to ask and every query we had was answered immediately. Sandhole also has an immediate calming feel to it, which not only eased our nerves but created the most magical day ever. We’ll forever remember the glistening lake and gorgeous barn interior - thank you, Sandhole!

    Fantastic!

    The most perfect venue for the perfect day!
    As soon as we went to visit Sandhole we knew it was the venue for us, and immediately cancelled any other viewings we had. It really is a truly beautiful place and they have thought have absolutely everything, the attention to detail really is amazing.
    The staff were attentive and kind and couldn’t do enough for us, and they made the planning process so much easier but sending email reminders about important things.
    Thank you to all at Sandhole, you gave us our dream day! Xx

    Utterly amazing venue

    What can we say, Sandhole Oak Barn was just perfect for our special day. From viewing the venue a year or so before, booking and all the arrangements inbetween were just effortless due to the amazing team they have. All our guests commented on how incredible the venue was, the location and the accomodation couldnt be faulted . Having the full use of the grounds and surrounding areas for pictures was a huge bonus for our pics and videography. Honestly cant recomend the venue highly enough.

    Sandhole Oak Barn's reply:

    Thank you so much Sarah & Michael (aka the new Mr & Mrs Cope). We are bowled over with your amazing comments about Sandhole as a venue for your wedding day and it is great to hear that planning your special day was "effortless" all thanks to the wonderful team we have. I will be sure to pass on your feedback to everyone involved. We all feel very lucky to work here and be able to share Sandhole with you and your family. We love the photographs you have shared what great memories, please do keep in touch. All our very best wishes to your both xx
