Rhianna Sent on 04/05/2025Perfect day at the Great Barn
Our wedding at the Great Barn was perfect.
The venue was beautiful, the food was excellent, and everything ran perfectly. Vicky coordinated everything with a seamless confidence, and all of our interactions with the staff at the Great Barn were excellent. There was no doubt that the venue was perfect after our initial viewing. The bar and ceremony room were still being renovated at the time, but the team showed us renderings of the expectation and the team did a remarkable job delivering on that vision.
The Great Barn have been communicative on email where required and the planning meetings allowed us to ask all the questions we needed to. We were able to drop off things the night before and collect the day after, having stayed in the lovely cottages the night of the wedding.
Along with Hibiscus floral design, providing a wonderful suite of flowers and decorations, the venue was setup perfectly and it was magical to walk into on the day. Everything was completely in hand at all times, we as bride and groom could simply focus on enjoying the day. The team worked seamlessly together. When the registrars were stuck in bank holiday traffic, Vicky reassured us that they were on their way and it was all in hand. The team worked diligently to ensure all dietary needs were catered for. When the ceremony ended the team coordinated moving flowers from the ceremony room to enhance the other space for the day and it all looked perfect. When the bride needed help preparing her dress for the evening Vicky was on hand to help bustling a somewhat stubborn dress to ensure the bride could enjoy here evening.
Limoncello shots were a perfect addition to the speeches, and segued us into a wonderful meal. The lamb croquettes were the highlight for me, but it was all wonderful. We loved by the Rioja and Viognier as our wine choices.
Rather than indulging in an expensive cake, we elected to have an "Espresso Martini" moment, which Vicky and team fully supported and on the day the drinks were ready on time, per the schedule, without us having to think about it. When it was time for evening food - it was abundant and delicious. Thankfully the weather held and we enjoyed time on the outdoor terrace.
Combined with Sam Bennett photography, Hibiscus Floral design, Signed by Charlotte, Signature Moments, and the registrars, our day was perfect.
Thank you team for a wonderful day.The Great Barn's reply:
Thank you so much for your incredible review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your wedding day at The Great Barn was everything you hoped for and more. It means the world to us to know that the venue, food, service, and overall experience all came together so seamlessly for you.
Vicky will be especially touched by your kind words—she’s an expert at making everything run smoothly, and we’re so glad she could help you feel reassured and supported throughout the day (including taming the dress!).
Your Espresso Martini moment was such a fun and memorable alternative to a traditional cake, and we’re so happy we could help bring that to life. We’re thrilled to hear the food and drinks were a hit, — our chefs and bar team will be so pleased!
Thank you again for choosing The Great Barn to celebrate your love—we’re so grateful to have been a part of it.

Kristen Sent on 29/04/2026Best day of my life!
We had our wedding on Saturday and the day couldn’t have been more perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning and our guests couldn’t compliment it more. We had the pleasure of having Alice as our coordinator, and nothing was too much trouble. She executed our vision perfectly, respected our belongings, nothing was broken and she was so attentive to our family and friends, everyone knew what they were doing the whole day. The staff working on the day were equally amazing, very attentive and kind, particularly at the end of the evening with the dribs and drabs of our guests who were slightly over time. It couldn’t have been more perfect, 100% must choose venue! -

Rebecca Sent on 11/04/2026The most stunning venue
We got married at The Great Barn in April 2026 over the Easter weekend and had the best day.
From the initial viewing, we knew it was the venue for us. It's such a beautiful setting and the venue itself is stunning so doesn't need much decoration! It's also dog friendly (up to the wedding breakfast part of the day) which was important to us.
Grace was our coordinator and has been great throughout the process. She was always very responsive to any questions we had, helped advise on the schedule for the day and was really helpful when sorting dietary requirements.
On the day, Grace and the rest of the Great Barn team ensured the day went smoothly and to plan. The food was all amazing throughout the day, including the sweet treat table, main meal (we had the duck, lamb and lemon tart which was all exceptional) and the evening pizza.
The venue itself meant the day flowed really nicely and so many of our guests have commented on what a lovely venue it was. We also had a wonderful stay at the cottages on site the night of the wedding.
Thank you for making our wedding day the most magical day of our lives -

Emma Sent on 31/03/2026Great venue for a perfect day
We had the best day at The Great Barn for our wedding March 2026! The Great Barn was the first venue we viewed and we knew immediately it was the one, the place has an amazing feel with just the right amount of tasteful decor to make the rooms feel full without too much extra but also enough to be able to personalise the space. We particularly loved the main room with the bar as it kept everyone together in the evening and ensured the dance floor remained full!
Alice was our wedding coordinator, she made sure everything went so smoothly and was a pleasure to have around on the day with her warmth and enthusiasm.
We would highly recommend The Great Barn to all couples, it was the perfect venue for us and the perfect day. -

Sophie Sent on 02/03/2026What a wedding!!
The Great Barn is absolutely beautiful and the perfect venue for a wedding. It hardly needs any decoration to look stunning, and the grounds are gorgeous - even in February the site looked naturally beautiful and had that classic Cotswold feel.
We had 86 guests all day, and the size of the venue was ideal (although the venue could easily accommodate more guests than this). Having the separate ceremony space made the moment of getting married feel so special. The layout of the wedding breakfast and bar room also worked perfectly as it allowed guests who didn't want to dance to chill out or use the photobooth. The bar room - complete with LED lights - became the ultimate dancefloor!
We were so fortunate to have Grace look after us. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she made the entire day feel seamless and calm. The rest of the staff were equally as fantastic, and the service was top tier.
As foodies, the quality of the meal was a huge highlight for us. We opted for the Feast Menu and it was exceptional. We had the charcuterie starter, the sirloin of beef main, and lemon meringue / crumble for dessert - we would definitely recommend!!
We've had so many comments from guests saying it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding.
We had the most joyful and perfect day. We cannot recommend The Great Barn and their expert planning team enough for delivering such a wonderful experience. Thank you!

Andy Sent on 10/12/2025Magical Autumn Day
I knew I wanted to get married at The Great Barn the second I walked in, I got goosebumps! It is such a stunning venue, perfectly suited to host our Autumnal wedding. The cosy, rustic vibe with twinkly lights brings all the magic you could want. On the day, Alice went above and beyond to support our needs and help our dreams come true, we couldn’t have done it without her and the rest of the team at The Great Barn. Food and drinks were a huge hit from our guests with so many compliments. I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else, truly the best day of our lives! - Andy and Abby Willett -

The team at the Great Barn were absolutely amazing. From day one, they made us feel so welcome and at home in the venue. Alice was our Wedding Manager and MC on the day and she did a brilliant job throughout. She was so lovely, warm and enthusiastic, responding to all of our questions and made sure everything went perfectly on the day. We cannot recommend this venue enough, all of our friends and family couldn't get over how beautiful it was and how good the food was. I have coeliac disease and the team went above and beyond to make sure I was catered for and didn't need to worry about a thing on the day. Thank you so much! -

Tom Sent on 13/11/2025An Amazing Day, Made Even More Amazing
Grace was Amazing, and everyone at the Great Barn was so friendly and helpful. Grace, who was managing our day, had everything sorted by 1030, which took all the stress off us and ensured any issues were sorted. It was such a special day for us, and for it to take place in such a wonderful setting as well made the day even more magical. We couldn't have done it without the support of Grace and the rest of the venue's amazing team. The food was also incredible, both for the wedding breakfast and the evening pizzas that followed.
