    The Gavin and Stacey wedding of our dreams

    Where do we begin to talk about our wedding at the Canary Shed, it was the most magical, unforgettable and completely unique weekend of our life. I’ll say a weekend and not a day, as the moment you arrive at the Canary Shed on the Friday evening the celebrations begin.

    From being able to have complete creative control of the decoration of the shed, which is already such a bright and special place, to having all of your nearest and dearest staying with you on sight for the weekend! It truly was the best weekend of our lives.

    Jade and Paige really were incredible, from the moment we booked the venue back in 2022, there were regular check ins and genuinely nothing was too much of an ask. Jade is the wedding planner you’ve always dreamed of and made the weekend run so flawlessly, from setting up the ceremony space on the morning to fixing our damaged cake with disco balls, she’s amazing!!

    We’re based in the midlands, but chose the canary shed because they were dog friendly and let’s face it, you’ve never seen a venue like it! We had so many comments on how incredible the venue and the day was.

    It’s so great that you can completely tailor the day to you, bringing in your own caterers, crockery, and having full creative control. We wanted a relaxed alternative vibe and the canary shed was the perfect fit.

    We honestly would do it all over again and I can’t thank the canary shed team enough for giving us the most special weekend wedding celebration of our life. It was perfect in every single way and I genuinely have struggled to put into words what an incredible time we had.

    We made memories to last a life time and we can’t wait to come back and stay at the shed to reminisce on them.

    5 stars wouldn’t be enough!!

    Lots of love,

    Amy & Ollie xxx

    Our wedding was out of this world! 💫✨

    Our wedding was out of this world, The Canary Shed is an absolutely stunning venue and we wish we could do it all over again. The staff were so lovely and went out of their way to be incredibly helpful. We loved that our wedding celebrations could be spread out over a weekend and loved that we could have family and friends stay in the accommodation alongside us. Everything was dog friendly which was extra bonus points for us as we had all 3 family pets at our wedding which made it extra special. We will be visiting for years to come and love the parlour cafe that is on site too, lovely food and drinks options. We would also like to give a big shout out to Jade who helped us along the way and for being such a lovely human being ❤️ Emma & Matty xoxo

    Most amazing wedding venue

    We wanted the feeling of togetherness and had the vison of a unique and relaxed wedding that not only lasted one day but the whole weekend…

    The Canary Shed delivered that vision in every way and so much more…

    From the moment we viewed the venue, we fell in love. The accommodation is gorgeous; the setting picturesque and the Canary Shed itself is quirky and striking.

    Jade and Paige made the organisation process so easy – the handover pack and the regular meetings allowed us to keep on track of everything.

    The biggest compliment we could give, is that if we were do it all again, we wouldn’t change a single thing.

    Jade and Paige work tirelessly behind the scenes making the day run smoothly and their advice and guidance was so appreciated.

    We truly had the best day ever and created amazing memories.

    Hands down the best decision we have made to have our Wedding at The Canary Shed – thank you.

    A Wedding Venue Like No Other Absolutely Flawless

    Where do I even begin? The Canary Shed was incredible from start to finish!
    As soon as we arrived to view the venue, we knew it was the one. It had everything we wanted – the perfect blend of quirky charm and rustic character. Booking was simple and stress-free, and from that point on, everything just flowed.

    Jade, Paige, and the entire team were absolutely flawless. They brought every single one of our ideas to life and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. No request was too big – they even built a step to help a guest with accessibility and found a replacement vendor on the morning of our wedding without missing a beat!
    More than just staff, they genuinely felt like guests – holding our dogs, making sure we had food, and constantly checking in to support us. The exclusivity of the venue and the 3-day hire made the experience even more special. It gave us the time and space to really enjoy the lead-up, the big day, and the wind-down without feeling rushed. The accommodation is just as stunning as the rest of the venue and having it’s situated so close made it a great option for our family friendly wedding the children had the best time exploring and visiting the goats.
    We honestly want to come back every year to celebrate our anniversary – that’s how much this place means to us now.

    If you’re looking for a relaxed, unique venue full of personality and backed by the most incredible, caring team – The Canary Shed is it. A wedding venue like no other.

    The best wedding venue we could have asked for!

    We held our wedding at The Canary Shed last weekend and there is not one thing we could fault them on, it was perfect! Jade, Paige and all of The Canary Shed team made it so special. All of the stress was taken away and Jade ensured that everything ran so smoothly. We were able to have 30 people in total stay at the venue which meant we could have the best wedding weekend we could have ever imagined. We wish we could do it all again! Thank you all so much and we can't wait to come back one day soon xxx

    Incredible venue!

    It's hard to know where to begin but we honestly cannot thank Jade, Paige and the whole Canary Shed team enough for everything they did to make sure we had the absolute best weekend for our wedding.
    The planning process was made so easy and straightforward with regular check-ins to keep us on track, and the whole day itself was completely seamless and that’s down to the hard work and dedication from the team.
    We can’t thank the team enough for everything they did to help make the day flow and the excitement and enthusiasm they brought to the planning, lead up and the day itself.
    Almost two weeks later we are still on such a high and cannot recommend the Canary Shed enough for allowing us to create our dream wedding weekend.

    Thank you thank you thank you!

    A thousand reasons to book the Canary Shed - here's 10 of the best

    The Canary Shed was the first and only place we went to visit in our search for a wedding venue. From our very first visit we knew it was incredibly special. If you're looking for a venue that provides:
    1) A whole weekend of fun, from Friday midday to Sunday afternoon, stretching out your big day into a big weekend
    2) a dog-friendly getaway that means you can have your beloved pooch with you the entire time
    3) a gorgeous accommodation block for all of your loved ones to celebrate with you, that has the comfiest beds and cosiest aesthetics
    4) a stunning, one-of-a-kind backdrop from the colourful barn ceiling of the Canary Shed, to the rustic vineyard and sun terrace surrounding it
    5) a venue that feels special in any weather condition (but especially shines when the weather is nice)
    6) thousands of little touches like evening fire-pits, pre-wedding BBQs, on-site spa and gym, delicious hangover brunch at the on-site cafe, complimentary wine and bubbly on arrival in your barn
    7) the most diligent, attentive team working with you to make your dream wedding a reality (Jade & Paige are my organisational heroes) and a dreamy bar with delicious cocktails and mocktails
    8) a host of excellent recommended suppliers that will bring out the best for your day
    9) Stunning walks around vineyards, marinas and a quaint little town
    10) A venue that is incredibly inclusive with accessibility options, anything you might need for your children, of course a host to LGBTQIA+ ceremonies and celebrations, and carefully considered options for those who don't drink

    And much, much more... I couldn't think of anywhere better than the Canary Shed. I believe it's incredibly value for money when you consider the length of time you get access to the venue and accommodation for.

    The only hot tip I have is to implore your guests to book their taxis back after the big day in advance - the town itself is small with not a lot in the way of taxi options or Uber. But that is such a tiny, tiny detail in the grand scheme of what was the most perfect day for us.

    Wedding at the Canary Shed

    We had an amazing wedding here- Jade and the team are great and the venue is so colourful and beautiful and chill, great for queer weddings! It worked really well to stay on site with the family beforehand - it was very child and dog friendly, with lots of places for babies to sleep during the wedding too :) I would highly recommend.

    Incredible venue and team

    Our wedding weekend was incredible, we can’t stop smiling and laughing at all the moments that made it so special and fun. We can't thank you and the rest of the Canary Shed team enough for helping to make our day better than we could have imagined, from the detailed planning sessions beforehand to holding up our friends 3 year old so he could be a part of the Photo Booth, your input and organisation skills allowed us to relax and for both us and all our guests to really enjoy the day. Our guests keep telling us how much fun they had and how friendly and helpful you and the team were. We will forever be grateful and The Canary Shed will hold a special place in our hearts.

    Perfect venue

    After viewing multiple wedding venues, we completely fell in love with The Canary Shed and booked it pretty much straight after the first meeting with Jade! We had never seen a venue like it and the fact that you can turn your wedding day into a full weekend is something that we absolutely loved. From the very first meeting, everything was SO relaxed and taken care of by Jade & Paige that we never felt stressed or worried about any part of the process. They really are the dream team who go above and beyond to make sure that you have the best day of your life, something that we feel incredibly lucky to have experienced at The Canary Shed. Planning and organising a wedding can be incredibly overwhelming when liaising with venues, suppliers etc but Jade and Paige were always on hand to answer our (many!) questions and took control of the entire process. We dread to think what it would have been like without them!
    The Canary Shed itself is the most unique and vibrant venue that allows you to step away from a ‘traditional wedding’ and throw the party of your life. Unless you see The Canary Shed in person, it’s impossible to explain how magical it really is. A huge selling point for us was the fact that you could have 30 guests stay on site for the whole weekend and be in walking distance from the venue to your bedroom… no faffing around with transportation to-from the ceremony and reception!
    We can’t recommend the venue more and we will definitely be back to visit in the future. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams!
    Daisy & Sophie
