Mr & Mrs Guest 13th August 2026
The venue was amazing. The building & grounds are magnificent. It was within our budget and worth every penny.
The food was thoroughly enjoyed by all and the service was perfect.
Georgia helped us plan our perfect day and is totally amazing.
We requested that the staff join us in this celebration and they did, it couldn't have been more perfect.
All our family and friends thoroughly enjoyed the day, venue , food and helpfulness of all the staff.
Thankyou all so much for giving us perfect memories.

We couldn’t have had a better day!
We had our wedding at this venue and couldn’t have been happier. The staff were fantastic from start to finish, with a special shout-out to Georgia, who answered questions we didn’t even know we had and was always happy to chat through our ideas in the months leading up to the day. Everyone on the day was so friendly and helpful, making everything run smoothly.
The venue itself is beautiful, with gorgeous surroundings that provide plenty of perfect photo opportunities. There are some limitations on what decorations you can bring in, but the venue is honestly already so beautifully decorated that this wasn’t an issue for us at all.
The food was fantastic - really tasty and generous portions. One small but significant detail we really appreciated was that the food was hot and served to everyone at the table at the same time, which isn’t always the case when catering for children or guests with allergies.
The DJ from Staar was also brilliant, getting the atmosphere just right and keeping everyone dancing well into the evening, and likewise Staar were really helpful in coordinating with our illustrator.
Accessibility was an important consideration for us, so we wanted to mention this for anyone in a similar position. The ceremony and reception are upstairs, and due to the venue’s listed status, there are understandably some limitations. The venue has a stair climber, operated by staff, to help guests get upstairs and back down. The only accessible toilet is outside, so you would need to use the stair climber anytime you needed to use it. Thankfully, our guest has some mobility and was able to use the toilets upstairs.
Given the age and listed status of the building, we think what the venue has been able to provide is pretty good so just something worth being aware of. Our guest who used the stair climber said it was very smooth, and any initial nerves they might have had were completely put at ease by the staff.
We can’t thank the whole team enough for making our day so perfect. All of our guests commented on how relaxed, enjoyable and well-run the day was, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the venue and looking forward to coming back for lunch sometime! G&A
Tudor Barn Eltham's reply:
Dear G&A, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review. It truly means the world to the whole team to hear how happy you were with your wedding day.
We’re especially delighted to hear your kind words about Georgia. She’ll be thrilled to know that she was able to support you throughout the planning process and help bring your ideas to life. It’s also wonderful to hear that the team made everything run smoothly on the day and helped create the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that you and your guests experienced.
We’re so pleased you enjoyed the food, and we completely agree that the little details, such as ensuring everyone is served at the same time, can make such a difference. We’ll also be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to Staar.
Thank you as well for taking the time to share your experience regarding accessibility. This is incredibly helpful information for future couples and guests, and we really appreciate you highlighting both the facilities available and the support provided by our team.
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your special day, and we’re so grateful that you chose to celebrate with us. We’d love to welcome you both back for lunch sometime - hopefully very soon!
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together.

Couldn’t Have Picked a More Perfect Place
We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding venue. The building is absolutely beautiful and provided the most stunning setting for our special day. It has so much character and charm, and the location is fantastic too.
Everything about the venue made our wedding feel incredibly special, and it was exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for. We received so many lovely comments from our guests about how beautiful the barn and surroundings were (the pleausance it resides in remains open to the public but it is peaceful and an amazing place for pictures).
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, they were very accommodating for everything we wanted, even last minute adjustments (Thank you Georgia and the team!)
We’re so happy we chose to have our wedding here and would highly recommend it to anyone. It really was the perfect place for our day.-

Beautiful Venue for the most memorable day of my life

Lovely venue, but entertainment / flexibility could be an issue
We loved the venue, the setting is amazing for London and there are very beautiful (public) gardens behind the venue which are lovely for photos. Lots of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the food, ourselves included. There were a few sticking points for us though.
1. The entertainment.
When viewing it's suggested that the in-house entertainment DJ is optional. It's provided by another company, etc. We both work in entertainment and have friends who wanted to DJ the wedding for us. However we were told (by the in-house entertainment firm, with Tudor barn on the email chain) that this was not possible. The in-house entertainment firm said only they were authorised to play music in the evening, due to the sound level restrictions in the venue. We offered to pay the DJ fee, in case the money was an issue, and were told the same (that only the in-house team were authorised to DJ). Our friends are professional DJs and could have performed using the same volume limiters the in-house team used and we were told no. This isn't clear when booking.
As the venue/in-house firm said we could use their services or have no DJ at all, we asked if their DJ could play a selected playlist. Music is very important to our event and so we spent days creating a several hours long playlist for the night. However on the day the DJ seemingly switched off and into his own playlist throughout the night, despite ours not finishing. There are loads of songs on the list that were not played at all, and we'd spent a while organising them into an order for the night. Not a big deal, but very frustrating given the above communication from their team, the cost and time involved, and the lack of choice in who you can have do your entertainment.
2. Tasting Menu
My partner could not attend the tasting event at last minute notice due to flight cancellations around the Iran war. However we were told there was no other option for them to taste the menu due to the timings of the event (they host tastings on a quarterly basis), unless we wanted to pay individually for each dish sampled at a fairly expensive cost. I understand the organisation involved in tasting menus, but given the exceptional circumstances and the fact we'd already paid thousands in a deposit for the event, it was not great that my partner could not taste any food without us splashing out a couple more hundred pounds. The venue could be more understanding here I feel.
Overall we loved the food, setting, etc. But as feedback the venue and anyone booking should bear the above in mind for next time, especially given how expensive a wedding is. With this in mind, I'd like to have seen the venue be more open in communication about the DJ and flexible with the food tasting.
On the day the people managing the event (Darren etc) were on the ball and went out of their way to ensure everything went smoothly. Five stars for them!
Thank you
Tudor Barn Eltham's reply:
Hi Ryan,
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback about the venue, the gardens, the food, and especially Darren and the team, we'll make sure they see the five stars, it will mean a lot to them. Congratulations again to you both, and thank you for the kind words about your day.
We'd like to respond to the two points you've raised, as we feel some context is important.
On the entertainment: for sound-level and licensing reasons, evening music at the venue is managed through our resident entertainment team, and this is applied consistently across all of our weddings, it isn't something we're able to vary on a case-by-case basis, even for professional DJs, and we're sorry if this felt restrictive. When you let us know around eight weeks before the wedding that you'd like a DJ, we arranged this immediately and supported you with all of your questions. We have since reviewed the DJ's song sheet from the evening, which shows your playlist being played throughout the night. As guest requests were also taken on the night, as is standard some additional songs will naturally have featured alongside your selections. We're sorry the evening didn't feel exactly as you'd planned it, as music was clearly important to you.
On the tasting: we host complimentary tasting events three times a year, more than any venue we're aware of and your places were confirmed with us the week beforehand. We completely sympathise with the flight disruption that prevented attendance; unfortunately, with over 150 weddings a year, we simply were not able to offer an alternate option for a group tasting which is why we offered a per-dish individual private tasting as the only practical alternative. We're glad that, on the day itself, you and your guests loved the food.
Thank you again for celebrating with us — we genuinely appreciate the balanced feedback, and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

Wonderful May Wedding💍
We had our Wedding day at this stunning venue and we could not be happier with how our day turned out!💍
From the very first time we saw it we instantly fell in love with the beautiful barn, its decor and not forgetting the acres of gorgeous gardens💐
We recommend booking one of their Showcase evenings as this is where we saw the venue come to life🥰 We met Jade who is fantastic - I wished she could have planned our entire day as she just got our vision during the showcase evening!
The planning side was relatively easy but what I would say is double check with the venue what you can/cannot have there as this was not always clear when planning with Suzie, so please check to avoid any disappointment.
Fast forward to our special day which was made truly magical - and very hot due to the heatwave!! We were very lucky to have the lovely Georgia host our wedding and we were so thankful for her and the team! Georgia is so lovely! Everything ran smoothly and we did not have to worry about anything on the day! The whole team working that day were simply wonderful and we could not thank them enough!✨
Food was amazing with huge portions available - our guests complimented the food so much!
The stunning Tudor Barn would make a lovely wedding venue as we truly had the best day of our lives❤️
We cannot wait to come back and visit for a roast dinner! Mr & Mrs B🥰Tudor Barn Eltham's reply:
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, and huge congratulations to you both. It means the world to hear you had the best day of your lives celebrating your wedding here at Tudor Barn Eltham.
You are so right about our showcase evenings; seeing the barn dressed and brought to life really is the best way to picture your own wedding day here, and I will happily pass your kind words on to Jade and Georgia, who will be thrilled.
Thank you also for your honest note about clarity during planning. As a Grade II* listed Tudor barn there are some things we have to protect, but I am so happy to hear you had the most beautiful day!
We are delighted your guests loved the food, and we would love to welcome you back for a Sunday roast overlooking the moat and gardens whenever you fancy it. You will always be part of the Tudor Barn story.

Beautiful Wedding, lovely people
The Tudor Barn was the perfect venue for us! It was the perfect size for our small/medium wedding after looking at venues that were wither much too big or a bit too small. The building and grounds are beautiful, and we loved that you are still in London. Georgia, our coordinator was AMAZING. While we had a little apprehension at first the second we met Georgia all nerves were calmed, we gained a cheerleader, friend, confidant, and amazing professional. While we were drawn to the fact that Tudor Barn does many weddings, and has a system (good for us doing this at a distance and without family near) Georgia really allowed us to make the space and the day our own! The other vendors recommended by Tudor Barn were also fantastic, and it was all so SMOOTH! The DJ from Staar, Jon-O was fantastic, the food was really, really good. Beyond wedding food. All of the day of staff were lovely.. I was so pleased with our choice of venue, our day was more than I could have imagined, and while there is a big team at work at Tudor Barn, my true thanks and praise goes to Georgia who not only kept it all on track, but also totally understood my taste and shocked me with how beautifully she attended to each detail. ALL MY THANKS.Tudor Barn Eltham's reply:
Thank you for such a generous and heartfelt review. Congratulations on your wedding, and what a joy to read that Tudor Barn Eltham turned out to be just the right fit after your search; being a more intimate barn venue while still within London is exactly what so many couples tell us they struggle to find, so it is lovely to hear it worked so beautifully for you.
Georgia will be absolutely delighted with your kind words! Planning a wedding from a distance without family nearby takes real trust, and knowing she made you feel calm, understood and completely looked after is the highest compliment our events team can receive. I will make sure she sees this.
Thank you too for the kind mention of our recommended suppliers and Jon-O on the decks; having a trusted team who know the barn inside out really does make the whole day run smoothly, and I am thrilled the food went down so well with you and your guests.
It was a pleasure to host your wedding day, and we would love to see you back at the barn for a Sunday roast or afternoon tea in the near future! -

Truly magical wedding 💖
We got married at Tudor Barn in March and by the grace of god it was a beautiful sunny day! This made the whole day just soo much more stunning. We had the most magical day and if we could do it again we wouldn’t change a thing!
The team, specifically Georgia and Amelia, are kind, understanding and so helpful and open to what we as a couple would like. We felt comfortable to let them know what we wanted for the day and felt listened to. We also appreciated all the knowledge that the management share with you. During the check in meetings they are doing their best to make sure you are all organized and have thought of everything for the big day. On the big day all the wait staff were helpful and professional.
We had nothing but rave reviews from our guests saying they loved the barn, the chicken for dinner and how organized the whole day went!
If you have the chance to get married here, do it! Genuinely you will not regret it!Tudor Barn Eltham's reply:
