Perfect 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.

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.
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness,
The Great Barn Team -

A great day for us, and our families
My wife and I had a great wedding thanks to the team at The Great Barn. Grace helped us every step of the way, making it very easy to navigate, plan the day, and make sure our guests were properly taken care of.My wife and I had a great wedding thanks to the team at The Great Barn.

Great wedding venue
We fell in love with The Great Barn the moment we saw it — we just knew it was where we wanted to get married. Grace, our wedding planner, was wonderful from start to finish, always happy to answer my many questions and making sure everything ran seamlessly on the day.
The food was incredible! We had the sharing boards, and everyone raved about the roast beef — there was plenty of food, and it was all delicious.
One really special moment was when the team helped arrange a tractor surprise for my husband, who absolutely loves tractors — it made his day and was such a memorable, personal touch!
Our whole day ran so smoothly, and that’s down to the amazing staff at The Great Barn. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue or more attentive team.

Our dream wedding at the Great Barn
We had our wedding here in September and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The venue itself is beautiful and created such a warm, relaxed atmosphere for the day, but what really made it all run so smoothly was our coordinator, Grace. From the very beginning she was attentive, organised and reassuring – nothing was too much trouble and she thought of details we never would have considered. On the day itself she was calm, efficient and always one step ahead, which meant we could relax and enjoy every moment knowing everything was taken care of.
We had so many compliments from our guests about the setting and how seamless the day felt. We’re so grateful to Grace and the team for making our wedding so special – highly recommend.We had our wedding here in September and couldn’t be happier with the experience.

The most perfect wedding day
We got married here at the beginning of September and it was the most perfect day thanks to all the staff here. Grace was our wedding coordinator who was brilliant from start to finish, she was always on hand to answer any questions we had throughout the planning process and nothing felt like too much of an ask. On the day everything was sorted for us and my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything.
As you can see from their pictures, the venue looks beautiful and that is what sold it for us when we viewed it for the first time, you don't really need to add much to it as it speaks for itself! The 3 cottages on site are also a nice touch and were so convenient for us and our family at the end of the long day. The food they offer is amazing, every dish was delicious. They offer a few tasting events throughout the year so we were lucky enough to be able to attend one so we knew we were in for a treat on the big day and they definitely didn't disappoint!
Overall a beautiful venue with lovely staff on gorgeous grounds which made our day feel so special, thank you so much to Grace and everyone else at The Great Barn. 😊We got married here at the beginning of September and it was the most perfect day thanks to all the staff here.

Seamless, Beautiful, and Unforgettable!
Our wedding day at this venue was truly unforgettable. Even with a little rain, the beauty of the countryside surroundings shone through, creating the most romantic and serene atmosphere. The venue itself is stunning – spacious and welcoming, with so many thoughtful touches and natural décor that make it feel effortlessly elegant without needing to add very much at all. Our guests kept commenting on how much space there was to relax and enjoy the day, and how beautiful everything looked.
From the moment we booked, Alice was exceptional. Her communication was always clear and reassuring, and on the day everything was set up with such care and attention to detail. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing – she had it all organised perfectly.
Alice, you are incredible! So many of our guests went out of their way to compliment you and we couldn’t agree more. Thank you for making our day so seamless, beautiful, and beyond what we ever dreamed of.Our wedding day at this venue was truly unforgettable.

The best day of our lives
From start to marriage, our wedding at the Great Barn was everything we imagined and more.
The planning, correspondence and support with questions was second to none.
We have had nothing but compliments from our guests on this stunning venue, the food and the service. Our wedding planner Grace made our day go without one hitch. The only hitch that happened was us having the best day of our lives.

Beautiful venue, but restrictive policies
We initially viewed the venue when it was an family run business, but ended up booking it once it had been taken over by a local multivenue business. We felt some of the charm of a family business had been lost, and certain policies and processes put in by management of the venue/head office took the shine off the venue for us. The setting itself is beautiful though, and our wedding coordinator on the day, Grace, couldn't have been friendlier or done any more for us - she was absolutely fantastic.We initially viewed the venue when it was an family run business, but ended up booking it once it had been taken over by a local multivenue business.

Beautiful venue for our wedding day!
We had the best day celebrating our wedding at The Great Barn! We viewed a lot of venues in the area and knew this was the one for us when we were shown around by Kate. On our wedding day, we had the lovely Alice looking after everything and us! Alice was perfect, she kept us in the loop and made sure we had everything we needed. The venue is beautiful, we have not yet received our professional photographs but all the photos I have seen that our guests took are gorgeous, it doesn’t matter where you are in the venue, the backdrop is always stunning! So many of our guests commented on how lovely the venue is and how amazing the food was!We had the best day celebrating our wedding at The Great Barn!

The Dream Wedding Venue
The Great Barn, honestly the most perfect wedding venue we could have dreamed of. From the minute you drive up it’s driveway the venue is absolutely beautiful, the indoor spaces, courtyard, and grounds all equally as stunning. The planning process was seamless, from the initial enquiry to food tasting to the wedding itself, the staff went above and beyond to be accommodating and help create our dream day. Particular thanks go to Kate who initially showed us around and Grace who was our designated Wedding Manager- they were both fantastic. All the staff were absolutely lovely and we were always made to feel welcome and very at home at the venue. What I particularly loved about the Great Barn was the transparency; there are no hidden costs and what you see is what you get. The venue is naturally beautiful and we chose minimal decoration which suited our style and budget. The food was delicious and we had so many compliments on it from guests, especially the vegetarian guests who were amazed by the vegetarian options and have not stopped talking about them since. The bridal prep room was a really useful space, not only for getting ready in, as it was so spacious light and airy, but you have access to it throughout the day and having a young baby it was ideal to have a quiet space tucked away from the wedding for her to feed, nap etc. The fact they have 3 cottages on-site was ideal for what we needed too and plenty of other accommodation options locally. We had the most amazing wedding and cannot thank everyone at The Great Barn enough.The Great Barn, honestly the most perfect wedding venue we could have dreamed of.
