If you are thinking about booking The Normans for your wedding, do it!!!
Now putting my bridal hat back on and thinking about what I would want to read in a review here we go:
The Normans was the first venue we viewed when looking for our wedding and nothing else compared! We knew from the first visit it was the one for us.
From the start we had excellent email communication organising a viewing and we were shown round by the amazing Oliver who answered all of our questions and made us feel so secure in booking his venue, he was very warm, welcoming, he made us feel looked after and like no question was too silly and that continued throughout our experience!
The joy of The Normans is everybody cares so much. Oliver, Sharon, and Dave are a dream team! Emails always answered quickly, extra visits easily organised, phone numbers given to us the day before incase of emergency, texts after the big day to make sure we had an amazing time! The level of care they provide for you is unbelievable everything is checked, double checked, and the day flowed so easily with Sharon coordinating!
We loved the venue as it was stunning as is and it's comfy country vibes whilst remaining modern was just the style we wanted. We could have left it completely empty and it would have looked amazing, but we decided to decorate and do the flowers all ourselves this was supported by The Normans whole heartedly providing us with water, plenty of space to set up, Dave was amazing helping us put things on walls and helping us tidy up throughout the day.
A excellent part of The Normans is no hidden costs! Having seen other venues it's was only when you went into the fine print or asked certain questions in certain ways you saw what was actually included. At The Normans there is no sneaky oh you need to pay extra for chairs, lights, pay per candle lit ect. What you see is what you get and they are very open about any additional costs for extras. Their website is incredible for details, invoices easy to read, It was this openness and honestly that made us love them even more as it made planning and budgeting so much easier.
It is a very versatile venue with plenty of space, and if your worried about wet weather they always have a plan and will check the met office reports coming in for you! We had rain on our wedding day and it didn't affect the atmosphere or the day at all! There is plenty of space for guests around all the buildings and it's comfy, cosy, and accessible for all! The out buildings are great for photos as well and the fields and lanes around the venue lend themselves to lovely romantic shots, so it's great for lots of versatile shots!
I have probably written far too much but I cannot put into words how amazing a place this is, and the people who run it are what really makes it shine. I cannot thank The Normans team enough for making our day perfect and for making the whole day run so smoothly. It was the best most joyful and amazing day of our lives and they helped make it happen! -

An amazing day from start to finish at such a magical venue. We have had so many compliments from guests on the venue and the food from H&A and have commented on how it has been one of the best weddings they’ve been to.
Sharon who ran the day was simply amazing and neither myself or my husband had to worry about a thing. She is so lovely and approachable, she felt like part of the family!
All the staff at The Normans were incredible. Simply couldn’t fault any of it. -

We fell in love with The Normans, the moment we walked through the door! It is the most glorious venue we have ever seen. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more, and what can I say about the fairylights, just wow!
The team at the Normans are amazing. First, there was Oliver, who kept us on track and made sure we had done everything we needed for our big day. Then we had Sharon, who is just lovely, she made us laugh, kept my nerves at bay and she made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time, so I didn't have to worry. Last but not least Dave, Dave is just a machine, working all hours to make sure our day was perfect. The team really care and put 110% into everything they do. Thanks to you all ❤️
If we could give more than 5 stars we would.
The only down side is feeling a little sad when it's all over! -

The Normans is the most incredible wedding venue and our wedding day there was absolutely magical. Sharon, Oliver and the team were so friendly and ensured our day was perfect! The venue really is beautiful, especially the ceremony barn filled with candles and fairly lights - getting married here was an amazing experience. If you are considering booking this venue I really would say just do it! -

Well what can I say apart from wow!!! Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Could not recommend enough, if you want a stunning barn/rustic wedding with exceptional service (and you love a dance on a bar) The Norman’s is the venue!! Thank you so so much again. -

I don't know how I could possibly do The Normans justice in one review but I will do my best.
From start to finish the team at The Normans have been a total dream to deal with. Nothing is too much trouble and every single person is there to make sure you have the best time possible. They take all the stress out of it and make sure you get to just enjoy the day.
The venue itself is stunning. You can add as much or as little as you want but it speaks for itself. Those twinkly lights make for the most beautiful photographs and it is surrounded by beautiful open spaces so the pictures outside are just as gorgeous.
The bar is VERY well stocked (essential for a crowd like ours) and the service was really quick!
The food on the day was 10/10 as expected! My (new) husband is the head chef of the Hog and Apple who cater at The Normans, so we obviously knew we were in good hands there! Tony gets to work in so many gorgeous venues and after years of visiting them we both knew that for our own wedding it could only be The Normans! You need to visit this venue and then you’ll get it, I think the word most used to describe this venue by our guests was “magical” and we couldn’t agree more. It’s a truly special place.
I would also really recommend booking the on site accommodation. I stayed in the cottage with my mam and bridesmaid's the night before and getting ready there made the whole morning feel special. There’s a beautiful dressing room area with space for your hair and makeup team. Every tiny detail has been thought of. It’s a fantastic space. It was also really great having somewhere to pop back to and refresh mid way through the day. Then at the end of the night we just needed to pop next door and kick our shoes off. Ideal.
We couldn’t have had a more fun day! Thank you so much to Oliver and everyone at the Normans for making our day so “magical”.
