Perfect venue for our dream wedding day

Jodie and the team went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was the best it could be. The pub, barn, and surrounding countryside are beautiful and were perfect for our autumn wedding.
The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was amazing. We cannot recommend The Clifden Arms enough.

The perfect wedding!

We cannot recommend Jodie and the team at The Clifden enough. Our day was truly perfect from start to finish. Jodie saw our vision and made it happen! Nothing was too much to ask. If you are looking to have a country wedding in a beautiful venue, then go for this one!

Perfect wedding celebration!

My wife and I had our official wedding in Thailand, however we wanted to celebrate with the wider family and friends when we returned. Clifden was the perfect venue! Great location, we had family and friends coming from all directions so being close to the M40 was super handy. Except you feel like you’re in the beautiful countryside, which was just the aesthetic we wanted.
The venue was big enough for our party (I think around 70-80 turned out!) As an LGBT couple it is always on our mind if venues will be accommodating, but of course we had no issues at all and were treated like two queens. Steph and Jodie were our event planners, they were organised, efficient and took care of everything for us, including the details of table settings, to booking our rooms! We had a beautiful breakfast the next day, which helped our sore heads!!
All the staff were attentive and friendly. Jed was on the bar and he works so hard to get everyone served. Nobody wants to be stuck at the bar when their songs are on! I could not rate the venue higher, thank you to Rob and Gill own this incredible venue. This place is excellent for your day!

The Perfect Intimate Gender Reveal

We hosted our gender reveal at a The Clifden Arms and it was absolutely beautiful! We used the pixie hut and the main barn to host our guests. The day was beautiful and Jodie went above and beyond to make every extra special.
