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

The most amazing day!
A huge thank you to Alice and Kate for looking after us on the lead up to our day and on the day itself. We are so happy with how the planning/day ran and couldn’t have done it without you both! -

We got married here over the summer and the day was just perfect. The pre wedding meetings we had with Grace allowed us to customise everything to create our perfect day. When choosing our venue we went with the great barn due to its idilic views and 3 indoor spaces and large outdoor space meant the guests had ample room and never felt on top of each other. We were very lucky with our weather but had it rained the indoor spaces were definitely big enough for everyone. The food was amazing, we went with the roast which meant the guests carved the meat at the table, this was a great touch and an ice breaker for guests sitting on tables where they didn’t know each other, it also created a lot of laughs with the chefs hat and aprons.
Grace was absolutely amazing, nothing was too much and she brought everything to life exactly how we had envisioned it. She also kept us on track with our timings for the day. She was very calm and exactly what was needed. Thanks to Grace and the team for truly making it the most perfect day. -

We had our wedding here in July 2026, it was a fantastic venue and so many of our guests commented on the location. The staff were brilliant to work with all the way from our first viewing and always had our best interests in mind. The communication throughout the process was reassuring and helped us to plan a great day. The food was amazing, especially the lamb and we received many compliments from our guests on both the meat and vegan menus.
We would 100% recommend!
PS: Having air conditioning in the heatwave was a god send. -

The venue is beautiful as well as the land surrounding it. Our day ran so smoothly mainly down to the staff and Alice, the Wedding & Events Manager. They could not have done more for us and were all so friendly. I cannot thank them all enough for making our wedding day an absolute dream! -

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!
