    Wedding 19/10/24

    The flying fish is definitely the place to get married! The staff, the manager and wedding coordinator are all outstanding! We had the most amazing wedding and can’t fault anything! Julie was amazing from the get go nothing was ever too much for her. The food was absolutely beautiful and catered all the needs that was required and more! The overnight stay was amazing and breakfast was delicious! All guest said how wonderful and welcoming everyone at the flying fish was. I can’t wait to return back with my now husband and children for a meal. Thank you all for being amazing and absolutely outstanding all your efforts didn’t go unnoticed!

    Best wishes for the future
    Love Mr&Mrs Foster.

    100% recommend!!!

    Genuinely cannot thank all the staff at The Flying Fish enough for making our wedding reception and stay the best! Everything just went so smoothly. It’s such a beautiful place with amazing views and the best food. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for more. Julie’s Happy helper were a great bunch of lads that were so professional, the owners (sorry I didn’t get your names) were soo welcoming and lovely. But the person I want to thank the most is Julie. You listened to what we wanted, put our minds at ease (mainly mine haha) and made the whole thing so easy and lovely! So thank you!
    Really couldn’t recommend The Flying Fish enough. :-)

    Wedding 12april 2025

    Well what can I say
    Amazing venue and the quality and service you get for the price is second to none.
    The staff were so accommodating understanding and helpful as they say they went above and beyond the whole day even the run up to the wedding day.
    The surroundings,vibe and atmosphere was amazing.
    Anyone looking for a barn wedding/country wedding this is the place.
    Food was plentiful throughout the day and as for the overnight rooms well...... Clean airy and lots of room.
    Thank you to everyone at the flying fish you guys totally made out day

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    We can't thank everyone at the Flying Fish enough to make our day so special, Kate and Buddy for being the most welcoming hosts, Julie and her team for making our day so perfect, all the bar staff for being amazing on the day. A big thank you to all for making a special day extra memorable.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We had our wedding here and it was more than perfect for us. A few hiccups (guests) which at the time we were unaware of but all handled well by the amazing staff. We highly recommend Julie and the venue, they go above and beyond! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The most wonderful wedding venue!

    Ash & I got married at The Flying Fish Wedding Barn on 10/08/24. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. The support we've had from Julie, from booking, planning, setting up the Barn & the wonderful service from her the day of the wedding was just outstanding. Her team on the bar and serving the food were fantastic & couldn't do enough to help us in any shape or form. A massive thank you also to Kate & Buddy for being the most welcoming hosts who couldn't do enough for us, such friendly lovely people. We couldn't have chosen anywhere better for our big day, we were absolutely blown away! The food, the rooms, the views, the service, the wedding barn itself were just perfect! Thank you all for everything, from the new Mr & Mrs Bell x

    Beautiful, romantic & excellent value for money

    The Flying Fish was PERFECT for us! The venue is relaxed, yet romantic with a blooming rustic style gardens and flowers, a clean and cosy barn with a huge bar and stage and the food was incredible. Our guests commented on how wonderful the food was and also the rooms. Julie (the wedding coordinator) was amazing, really attentive and knowledgable. Closer to the day I was badgering her with WhatsApp’s and she’d reply instantly and I really appreciated that. Our day was perfect, I’d do it all over again and not change a single thing.

    Surreal venue

    Amazing venue, amazing attentive staff. As soon as we walked into the barn, we knew this was perfect for our dream wedding day. We were both blown away when we walked into the barn on our wedding day and seen how Julie and her team had arranged the set up inside. Intimate and romantic with a calm ambience. Would highly recommend this venue, all of our guests complimented on the location and stunning views, as well as the food that was provided. We could not have wished for a better wedding day, and we can’t thank the team that made our day happen enough. Thank you again, Mr and Mrs Sturgeon-Dockerty x
