Cannot give Oliver and Sharon at The Normans enough stars for how incredible they were.
No question too small and very responsive during the whole process. Oliver was incredible on the setup/day of and made sure everything went smoothly.
Even did a video for social media which we now have forever as we didn't get a videographer/content creator. Honestly the best team and most beautiful day. -

There are simply not enough words to do justice to how incredible The Normans were as a wedding venue.
From the moment we first viewed the venue, right through to the final moments of our wedding day, Oliver, Sharon and the entire team made us feel like we were the most important people in the world. Planning a wedding can be a lot at times, but The Normans have perfected the balance of professionalism, organisation and genuine care. Nothing was ever too much trouble, no request felt too big or too small, and every question was met with patience, reassurance and expert advice.
The venue itself is stunning, and even after multiple visits, still makes you feel a certain way. The beautifully restored barns, stunning grounds and thoughtful attention to detail create a setting that feels both incredibly special and completely relaxed at the same time. It's one of those rare venues that genuinely exceeds the expectations set by the photographs.
What really sets The Normans apart, however, is the people. The team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran seamlessly. They anticipated needs before we even knew we had them, managed suppliers effortlessly, and allowed us to spend the day entirely focused on enjoying ourselves and making memories with our loved ones. Oliver, who worked the day, ended up feeling like another member of the family by the day's end and that, as much as anything else, is testament to just how much he and the rest of the team took care of us on the day. The result was, without question, the best day of our lives.
A massive shoutout too to their catering partners, Hog and Apple, who delivered a phenomenal dining experience. The food was exceptional from start to finish and weeks later our guests are still talking about it. Having attended plenty of weddings myself, it's not often the food becomes one of the stars of the show, but Hog and Apple achieved exactly that.
If you're considering The Normans, stop looking and book it. We genuinely cannot imagine a better venue, team or experience. Just wish we could do it all again.
A personal thank you to Oliver, Sharon and every member of the team. You didn't just host our wedding; you helped create memories that we will stick with us for the rest of our lives. We felt cared for, supported and celebrated every step of the way, and we'll always be grateful for the role you played in making our day so special. -

Where do I even start, Oliver and his team were the most amazing hosts from the minute we met them, they made us feel so special and showed us around the venue virtually at first as we had a newborn baby and struggling to find time to visit the venue.
We booked instantly from a virtual viewing as there were only 2 Saturdays left for the following year, and you can totally understand, the venue is so thought out, everything is considered to make sure you and your guests have the most amazing day.
The venue is stunning that I saved so much on decor as it didn’t need anything adding, only a few personal touches for the groom and I.
Another thing I loved was that the ceremony room and wedding breakfast area are seperate so it ensures you day flows and no changing of a room during the day.
Oliver met us the day before our wedding and no request was too much, he took away all of the stress for Steve and I and it allowed us to be fully present with our guests.
The accommodation is beautiful and there is a big car park for guests to park the day / overnight. The venue felt like ours for the weekend and I’m sad to see other weddings there as it truly felt it was ours.
The catering from the hog and apple is also fantastic and you can tell the team work well together to make sure everything is smooth on the day.
I couldn’t recommend the venue enough - it was the first venue I looked at and being a bit of a perfectionist I knew I wouldn’t have found better. If you want a personal, family feel then The Norman’s is for you.
Thank you so so much to the team, Steve and I will never ever forget all of the effort that when into the day and how you made us feel.

Georgina Sent on 05/01/2026Excellent wedding venue with a fantastic team
My husband and I got married at The Normans in December 2025 and we cannot recommend it enough as a venue.
We actually booked The Normans based on just my husband's viewing (I didn't see it until months later as we were living abroad), because he was so certain it was the perfect place. And he was right!
Oliver, Sharon and the whole Normans team are absolute pros at making sure everything runs smoothly (both in the run up and on the Big Day), and it was clear they really cared about each detail to make our wedding (and I suspect every single wedding they do) special. We didn't worry about a thing on the day because Sharon was masterfully managing everything for us.
The venue itself was beautiful - especially in the winter as the Christmas trees and lights everywhere made it utterly magical. But beyond that, one of the things we loved most about The Normans is that, because it is specifically a wedding venue, every single detail is considered for that purpose - from the wall of fairy lights in the Ceremony Barn, to the cottages on site (one with a getting ready room, as well as fancy hooks to hang your dress!), to how Oliver and Sharon manage the "flow" of the day with guests moving from space to space. The whole experience is incredibly intentional and well thought out.
Hog and Apple (the designated caterer) are also incredible and multiple guests said it was the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding.
Thank you to the whole Normans + H&A team for the most incredible day! -

Our dream wedding day at The Normans
The wedding venue of our dreams! We had the absolute best day of our lives at The Normans. The stunning country surroundings and the breath-taking ceremony and reception barns - not to mention the cosy fireplaces and quiet nooks - are all part of what makes this place so special. Ideal for weddings of any seasons (ours was a gloomy autumn day!), this place is perfect dressed up or kept as is. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding venue they’d ever been to, especially when the double doors were thrown open to the grain shed and they were met with the enormous reception barn (which they’d had no idea even existed). We partied all night on the dance floor with our fab band and felt that we were properly looked after by both the smooth-running of the venue and the friendly staff from start to finish. The food from caterer partner The Hog & Apple made the day even more special, and we felt that no ask was too much by anyone at The Normans or H&A. Thank you for making our day unforgettable. -

Megan Sent on 25/11/2025Just amazing... no other words to describe it!
We don’t even know where to begin in describing how perfect our wedding experience was at this venue. From the very first visit, we knew it was something special — but the level of care, professionalism, and warmth we received from Sharon, Oliver, and the entire team completely exceeded anything we could have imagined.
Every step of the planning process was made so much easier thanks to the team's incredible attention to detail and their calm, reassuring presence. They were always ready with advice, answers, and solutions, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We genuinely felt looked after from day one, and that kind of support makes such a difference when planning a wedding (which I found can be quite stressful!). Any questions and queries were answered quickly and in detail that it took a lot of stress off the planning process.
The day before and on the day itself, Sharon and the whole team were absolute legends. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly, and they did it with such kindness, confidence, and professionalism. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing — they had it all completely under control, which allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment.
Our guests were blown away by how beautiful the venue was, how seamless the day felt, and how friendly and welcoming every member of staff was. So many people commented on how well the day flowed, and that’s entirely down to the team’s hard work, organisation, and genuine dedication to making the day perfect - so many people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
The venue itself is breathtaking — from the stunning ceremony space with the fairy lights, to the gorgeous reception areas and the incredible photo opportunities everywhere you look. But what truly sets this place apart is the people. Sharon, Oliver, and the entire team go above and beyond in every possible way. It felt like they put their hearts into what they do and that our wedding was the only one that mattered at the time and it shows. I am sure every single couple feel the exact same as this.
We will forever be grateful for the unforgettable memories they helped us create. Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made, and we would recommend it to absolutely anyone looking for a wedding day that feels magical, effortless, and genuinely cared for. Thank you all so much — our day wouldn’t have been the same without you and we are beyond upset we can't redo the day again, but hopefully we will be back to visit at some point in the near future.
