Stockbridge Farm Barn Reviews (8) Write a review Totally awesome! Venue Service By Kim and Katherine Edgecombe, on 07 Dec 2006We held our wedding reception here at the end of October and it was fantastic! 150 people and the best party we could have imagined. The barn was really atmospheric and looked stunning without having to spend a fortune on decorations. All the guests thought it was amazing and totally memorable. Cherry was incredibly helpful and rain or shine, whatever your reason for a party - this is the place!Probably one of the most stunning wedding venues in the south west! Venue Service By Mark and Ellen Gould, on 05 Dec 2006This is an absolutely stunning barn! The pictures don’t do it justice! It really does need to be seen in real life for you to truly appreciate its true beauty especially at night when the barn is lit up! All the guests were amazed by the barn and the up lighters really help set the mood for a truly great atmosphere! The weather was terrible on the day which meant that most of our wedding photos had to be taken inside instead of outside the church. The barn lent itself beautifully as the backdrop and photos look great! Cherry the owner is always on hand to offer as much or as little help as you require and we simply can’t recommend this venue enough!5 star Venue Service By Marcus Graziano, on 21 Nov 2006Our wedding comprised of a Thomas Hardy themed hog roast and barn dance....the barn/location and effortless help provided by all concerned at the barn namely Cherry, made it a dream come trueA truely spectacular setting for a wedding reception. Venue Service By Will and Charlotte Miller, on 20 Sep 2006We couldn''t have asked for anything more on our wedding day. A truely unique venue which all the guests commented on. As soon as you step into the barn you fall in love with the building and can instantly see its potential. The owner Cherry was so accomodating and always there to help. We would highly recommend this as a wedding reception venue.Beautiful location, full of atmosphere, extremely helpful owner Venue Service By Chris Humphreys, on 12 Jul 2006This is an exceptionally beautiful barn which can accommodate over 100+ people. It is briming with character, and set in the heart of Dorset's wonderful countryside. I can only say a very big thank you to Cherry for all her assistance and advice in sourcing accommodation for guests and some extras.Idyllic Venue Venue Service By Dan and Joanne Denham, on 14 Jun 2006The barn itself is amazing and set in a beautiful area of Dorset countryside but close enough to Sherborne with its main line station, taxi firms and hotels to be very convenient for guests. Cherry (the owner) is very helpful from the outset. All of our guests commented on how amazing and intimate the venue was. The caterers also love it as it is easy to work in.A unique and one off venue for a unique and one off event Venue Service By Carina and Nick Evans, on 29 Mar 2006My husband and I were married at the Abbey in Sherborne and had our reception at stockbridge Farm Barn. From the word go, the owner, Cherry, was totally on hand, helpful and nothing seemed to phase her or was too much. We adored the venue as it is so unique and just lent itself to our theme totally and the guests were blown away with the venue once it was decorated and ready to go. The service was amazing and we had some great caterers who worked well in the designated kitchen spot. The whole evening was fantastic and that was mostly down to the work that had gone into it from Cherry and her team of helpers. HUGE THANK YOU!Stunning Venue in a country setting-a one off! Venue Service By Nina Shaw-Porter, on 09 Feb 2006The Barn at Stockbridge is an amazing venue which impressed many of our wedding weary guests. Cherry Willoughby (the owner) is incredibly helpful and patient! Our wedding went so smoothly and most of our thank you letters commented on the uniqueness and "wow" factor of our venue. It is in a peaceful and beautiful setting and you don't feel as though you are in a rented venue but could be at home. Also, there are plenty of lovely places to stay nearby and an excellent taxi service despite it's rurality. We couldn't have hoped for better!
