    The Perfect Wedding Barn 🤍

    The Tithe Barn at The Olde Bell ticked every box for us. Since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to get married at a barn in Hurley; it is such a beautiful historic village and I have so many fond memories of family picnics by the river. As soon as we got engaged, the Olde Bell was the first venue on our list. We went to an open evening and didn't need to see anywhere else. We booked it almost immediately, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made.

    Leah, our wedding co-ordinator has been superb throughout the process, answering every question and putting any worries at ease. When attending meetings, the venue staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We will definitely be back regularly to stay at the inn and eat in the restaurant for anniversaries / celebrations. On the day, we had an events manager called Vincent, who was equally as excellent. Everything ran incredibly smoothly on the day, thanks to the entire team.

    Going with the rustic package was the perfect choice for us. With so much included, such as catering, five guest rooms, tableware and crockery, it was hassle-free and great value for money. The rooms are located right next to the barn, and many guests commented how convenient it was to be able to nip to their room to grab items or change shoes. A couple of months before the wedding, we also had an excellent food tasting included in the package - just the two of us! The meal got us so excited for the big day, and the staff treated us very well.

    Overall, I would highly recommend the Olde Bell. So many guests have said how much they loved the venue, and if you are looking for a barn that's full of rustic charm, the Olde Bell will not disappoint.

    Amazing barn wedding

    Me and my wife got married at the Olde Bell in June 2024 and felt really well looked after throughout the process. It's a really great venue with lots of space, options for photos and the on site accommodation is a bonus. The barn is lovely, exactly what we wanted. We had a few different wedding coordinators during the whole process but they communicated well with each other and with us throughout to give reassurance and ensure the day was everything we asked for. Would definitely recommend

    Perfect wedding day

    We had such an amazing wedding at The Olde Bell. Value for money was unbeatable - we got married at the Malt House which included 13 bedrooms. The food was amazing, everything run perfectly smoothly and obviously the venue itself is stunning. We could not have picked a better place

    The Olde Bell will always have the most specia place in our hearts. It is a luxury venue which was so relaxed and charming. The planning was| first class, they were able to meet our budget needs, they were so professional, and actually it was such value money compared to the many other venues we considered. I'd have no hesitation ir recommending this venue to anybody.

    Our dream wedding

    After a large search and manu venue viewings we found the olde bell in 2024, my fiance and I wrote down on a peaceful of paper each our favourite venue and revealed on the count of three. It was unanimous and we quickly put a deposit down.

    From thereon the staff were reat, lots of contact and help with planning. We went through the recommended suppliers, some of which we chose and some of which we got from elsewhere. In either case the team at the old bell were super in helping our vision come to life. Particular exampleswere sorting out logistics for the cake which my wife's mum made, and some flowers being done by family friends.

    The day itself was fantastic, we loved every moment.

    Looking back I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the olde bell, and I'm happy with the price we paid, the value and quality we got can't be faulted.

    A wonderful experience!!

    We had an amazing day at The Olde Bell in February. From the first email exchange with Leah to the big day everything was perfect, she is possibly the kindest, most helpful person I have ever met! Thank you Leah for all you do. Our guests loved the food and the barn looked so beautiful. We loved being able to have all of our guests stay on sight and made the day feel like a whole weekend wedding.

    A dream come true!

    Our wedding had been 19 months in the making, come December 2024 our original venue sadly had to close.

    Fortunately, they had found us an alternative venue of The Olde Bell. We could have The Malt House. Quickly got in touch, went to view and fell in love - it was booked!

    Communication between ourselves and wedding co ordinator Leah was a consistent throughout.
    The whole team are friendly, attentive, respectful, and quite frankly went above and beyond for us.

    Our wedding day was truly a dream come true, our visions came to life and it was the most perfect day.
    Our friends and family have all spoken highly of the venue since.

    On behalf of my husband and I, we would like to thank everyone at The Olde Bell, special mentions to Leah, Dominic, Terry and Ruva for all they did.
    We will forever highly recommend the venue for the perfect wedding!
