    Best venue for a beautiful day

    We could not have wished for a better day at Southlands Barn. Jackie, Phil, Jamie, Finn and Tom were brilliant all day and all weekend!!

    Contact with Amy before the wedding was perfect, answering any questions we had quickly and was always there to help us with decisions.

    The venue got high praise from all guests, many saying they hope to attend another one there if they could.

    Thankyou to all at Southlands for a brilliant day.

    Barn and team of dreams

    We had our day back at the start of April - Easter Saturday, the windiest day of the Easter Weekend; but it was perfect. The Southlands Barn team have been amazing and wonderful from the moment we booked to view, all the way through to collecting our DIY-ed decor the day after the wedding; and I know they will continue to be lovely and amazing whenever we can sneak a chance to pop back!

    We could not have asked for more from them; even turning the ceremony location around from outside to inside with 10mins to go before the ceremony because the wind picked up and it started to rain! We will be forever grateful to the team and the barn for being a part of our big day, and making it so special and stress free! They put out some decor later than others for us because it was for the evening rather than day, they set up our garden games after the ceremony, they got me a blanket to walk down to the lake with because it was freezing!, they took us to feed the highland cows, I could go on about how incredible they were/are, but this would become a very long essay of a review. If anyone is not sure about booking, our experience would tell us to persuade you to book. Thank you again to Team Southlands Barn

    The word perfect isn’t even enough ♥️

    Southlands Barn… where do I even begin? What can I say that hasn’t already been said? You made our dream wedding come true, and we honestly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect weekend.
    From the moment we booked, Jackie and her incredible team made us feel completely at ease. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every single member of staff was not only so kind and helpful, but genuinely fun to be around too. It felt like spending the weekend with friends who just happened to be experts at making weddings absolutely magical. The whole planning process felt so smooth and stress-free because we always knew we were in safe hands, and that meant the world to us.
    The venue itself is breathtaking. Every corner is beautiful, and it has such a warm, homely feel while still being the most stunning place to get married. We loved it so much I genuinely wanted to stay for the whole week! So many of our guests commented on how special and relaxed the atmosphere was, and we couldn’t agree more. It really is one of those places that feels unforgettable from the second you arrive.
    We only ever viewed Southlands Barn because the second we saw it, we knew it was the one. Looking back, I can’t imagine getting married anywhere else because nothing could have compared. Our whole day felt like a fairytale, and that’s entirely thanks to Jackie and the team. Every little detail was taken care of so beautifully, and we were able to just relax, soak it all in and enjoy every single moment.
    If I could give one piece of advice to anyone viewing Southlands Barn, it would be this: book it there and then! You won’t regret it for a second.
    No words will ever be enough to thank you all for everything you did for us. We will be talking about our wedding, your amazing team and this incredible venue for years to come. And who knows… maybe one day we’ll be back if our children decide to get married here too! 😂 Lots of Love, The Redferns x

    An amazing wedding for my daughter

    My daughter got married here on the 11th June 2026. Right from the start the staff were incredible. The attention to detail, personal service and the beauty of the venue itself made the day magical. Nothing was too much to ask, they anticipated everything before we asked, they bridal room had everything you could want to get ready for the ceremony. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. Thank you so much for helping make my daughters wedding the most special it could be.

    Beautiful day

    Couldn't fault the support we got from southlands, the day before prep in helping us set up the decorations and even printing out photos for us that we forgot to do for our memory table! Really blown away by the support. Wish we could do it all again!

    What an amazing place!

    We booked Southlands Barn approximately two years prior to our wedding in September 2025. We didn’t need to view lots of venues, this was the one and only venue we viewed, and it immediately won our hearts. It has the complete wow factor. It is perfect. We didn’t need to look any further.

    The whole Southlands team were truly amazing. From the moment we first made contact, Amy, Jacky, Liv, Phil, and the rest of the team were responsive, and attentive to all our needs. They literally couldn’t do enough for us.

    They made sure everything ran smoothly on the day, and kept us calm.

    The whole team were so warm and friendly, even our guests gave them numerous compliments.

    The wine tasting night is not to be missed. What a brilliant night that was!

    We have been back to visit since our big day, and were welcomed with open arms.

    A heart felt thank you goes out to all the team, you truly made our dream day a reality. We will miss you all!

    Love Pete & Trish xx

    What a beautiful spot to get married!

    We got married at Southlands Sep25 and had THE BEST experience. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Southlands team who helped us with the planning is incredibly helpful and accommodating. From the first viewing up until the day after the wedding they have been treating us like part of the family! The planning months have gone really smoothly, and they were incredible on the wedding day - taking care of all the details and working with suppliers based on our requests. We would not have changed a thing!

    WE LOVED IT! 💖 The most gorgeous venue & amazing staff

    We honestly can’t recommend Southlands Barn enough! We had other venues lined up to view, but as soon as we walked into Southlands (our very first viewing!) we instantly fell in love with the stunning countryside setting, the cows in the fields, the beautiful peacocks wandering around, and most of all, the warmth and energy of the team. We cancelled all our other viewings that same day because we just knew this was the one.

    From start to finish, the whole experience was incredible. The team at Southlands are absolute stars, so helpful, organised, and genuinely lovely to work with. The wine tasting night was such a brilliant touch as it gave us a real feel for what a wedding there would be like. Being able to bring four guests along made it such a fun and memorable evening and helped us pick our wedding wines in style.

    One of the biggest highlights for us was having the venue from Friday to Sunday. It meant we could take our time with setup, do all our own DIY styling, and save on the cost of decorators or stylists. It also gave us the chance to host tea and cake on the Sunday for a relaxed take-down day with family and friends, which was such a lovely way to round off the weekend.

    Southlands are also incredibly flexible when it comes to suppliers, which made a huge difference. We weren’t tied to specific caterers or limited in our choices for photographers, florists, or other suppliers, so we were able to make the day completely personal to us. Every detail reflected us, and that’s something we’ll always be grateful for.

    The free shuttle service for guests staying locally is such an amazing extra touch and another example of how thoughtful and guest-focused the team are.

    Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish, and we had so many compliments from guests on how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the team were on the day. We truly can’t thank everyone at Southlands Barn enough for making our wedding weekend so special 💖

    Wonderful Wedding Venue!

    The most wonderful venue! Can't say enough good things about it. My daughter got married there on 26 June 2025 and it was perfect. The venue has so many different rooms, so guests can choose to dance, talk, relax or simply roast s'mores over the fire. The outdoor space is lovely, lots of green space and even cows to add ambience. But, even better than all this, are the kind and thoughtful people who run the venue. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they go out of their way to make this special day perfect. Thank you all so much!!
