Our dream wedding

We were married at The Granary Estates in July 2024 and we cannot thank them enough for putting on our dream wedding. I knew that The Granary Estates was the one for us before we even visited it, but as soon as we arrived for our first visit, we were sold. The girls who work at The Granary Estates seemed to have a reputation amongst all of the suppliers that we spoke to as being incredibly helpful, professional and organised and honestly we cannot agree more. They really do make the whole experience a joy - which is exactly what you need when planning an event like this.
We really did feel like we were able to trust them with everything that we had in mind for the day and we were completely blown away when we arrived and saw our vision in real life.
On the day, we had a slight issue with our registrars not turning up but Megan and her team were so kind and on it, making sure that we were both calm and ensuring everyone was comfortable, even on the hottest day of the year.
It has been less than a week since our wedding and the wedding blues are hitting hard, but we cannot thank the Granary Estates enough for the help they gave us. If you are considering booking The Granary Estates for your event, do it! You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic wedding experience!

The Granary Estates helped us curate a wonderful wedding, from the second we even looked around. The staff are always friendly and helpful. On the wedding day our wedding coordinator silently worked with our grooms and bridal parties to ensure everything flowed seamlessly - which they whole day did!! I cannot recommend them highly enough for any event.

Wedding at Granary

We got married at The Granary Estates in June 2024 and had the most wonderful day. From our very first planning meeting (when we had no idea about organising a wedding) to greeting us the day before our wedding, the team were absolutely amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful.
Megan was amazing and guided us through everything on our big day and it all ran so smoothly. Everything was set up in the venue for us exactly as expected. We had an amazing day and certainly recommend to anyone wanting a wedding or event in a beautiful barn!

The most magical day ⭐️

From the moment we walked in the door we knew this was our wedding venue. From day one everyone we dealt with at the Granary Estates was incredibly friendly, professional and clearly passionate about what they do. The planning process was made so easy, and nothing was ever too much hassle. We dealt with Alice mainly in the run up and on our day, and we can't say enough how amazing she is! Such a superstar ⭐️ The day itself was everything we could ever ask for. The most perfect, magical day. Wish we could relive it all over again! x

Faultless team and a perfect day!

The barns are stunning, they speak for themselves, but what you don't see from the pictures is the most incredible team that look after your every need! Parris and the her team took care of literally everything. They did not get a single thing wrong the entire process, so much so that on our wedding day, we were both so calm and could really enjoy it! You hire the entire venue and grounds, so have complete exclusivity and their prop shop is amazing! It's safe as anything, so the kids had the best time running around and we didn't worry about them getting out anywhere. I cannot speak highly enough of this venue and all the staff. You just cannot beat it!!!!

Amazing wedding reception

After postponing our wedding from April 2021,
we had our finally wedding reception at Granary Estates this month. We had the most amazing, magical evening in a wonderful setting. The venue itself is just beautiful and all the staff helped put together an unforgettable evening. We cannot thank Alice and the team enough for all their help and support throughout our wedding planning process. We would 100% recommend to anyone!

The best wedding venue and planning team

We looked at 11 venues whilst choosing our wedding venue, but the first time we visited Granary Estates we knew it was the one. We planned our wedding over a couple of years and had so much fun doing so. The Granary Estates team were so enthusiastic and creative when helping us plan our day, it was amazing. They were so well organised and our wedding day went brilliantly.

Fantastic!

The most beautiful, stunning venue with an amazing dedicated team to help plan our dream day. Our wedding was everything we wished for and more and we would not have changed a thing. Parris was amazing from start to finish and we cant thank her and Becca enough for all their help towards our day.

Thanks GG's,
Love Katie and James x

What a day. What a team!

From the first time we walked into Granary Estates we knew it was the one for us. It's natural beauty and amazing, relaxed atmosphere was just what we were looking for and we could see ourselves getting married there. Becca and her team were INCREDIBLE! From the off, they were so calm, supportive and excited to be working with us. People often talk about how stressful organising a wedding can be....we found it to be the complete opposite. We really enjoyed every second and trusted 100% that we would have the best day with the best people. The team at the Granary and our chosen caterers, Hall & Co worked together amazingly and made our day so special, along with our florist, DJ and photographer.

We really can't speak highly enough of Becca and her team. Our wedding was absolutely magic from start to finish and we feel so lucky to have had that experience. But, we know that it isn't down to luck. It's down to the hard work and passion of a super talented team who give their all for their couples.

Big love! Beth and Nick x

Incredible venue and support!

Parris and the team helped to make our wedding day even more magical! They took out all the stress of wedding planning, so even with a year postponement due to covid, we could just enjoy the process and had lots of support whenever we needed it. On the day they were always on hand to make sure everything ran perfectly, so we could just be fully immersed in enjoying everything and not having to think about anything.

The venue itself is gorgeous and we actually ended up being really lucky with the weather, but didn't have to feel too stressed about this before as there is lots of beautiful space inside and out! The main barn made the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and then later in the evening too! The courtyard for the drinks reception is also lovely and there is so many cute outside parts - I could go on and on!

The onsite cottages also meant that getting ready was made a lot more relaxing and easy because we knew we could just walk over when we were ready. They were really excellent too, regarding facilities and they had a great outside space for the night before!

All of our guests commented on how amazing everything was, from the venue to the organisation so a massive thank you again! Would definitely recommend!

Best day ever

We couldn’t have wished for a better venue to get married at. The grounds and barns are beautiful, intimate, and offer so many different areas to explore. Granary offers so much, whatever the weather, but we were lucky enough to have a sunny day. The grounds looked incredible all day and the cottages added to the whole experience. A wonderful place to wake up, spend an evening, and Meadow cottage is the perfect place to get ready in. The Granary team are the most dedicated, caring people you could hope to be a part of your wedding. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the most perfect day, even though our day wasn’t what we had originally planned due to the pandemic. They embraced us and all of our ideas and little touches and helped guide us when we needed inspiration. They thought of absolutely everything and were just as invested in the day as we were.
Thank you Parris and the GG’s for an unforgettable experience!

The perfect venue

We couldn't have been happier with The Granary Estates as our wedding venue. From the first time we visited we knew it was 'the one' and we had so many comments from guests saying it was the best venue they've been to. Even though it rained for part of the day, it didn't matter as the inside was so beautiful with the fairy lights and there was plenty of space for all our guests.
Abbie led the coordination of our wedding and her and team were brilliant throughout the planning process, answering our many questions, advising on suppliers, and making sure everything ran perfectly on the day. Friends and family kept asking if they could help set up beforehand but Abbie and team already had everything in hand so we just had to relax!
We also booked the two cottages on site for the weekend which were lovely - and one of them includes a 'getting ready' lounge with space set up for the bridal party to get their hair and makeup done - ideal!
We had a magical day and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue.

The venue of our dreams!

The beautiful setting of the granary estates speaks for itself with its natural flint walls, exposed beams, glass walk way, and intimate barn spaces. But the stand out for us was the gorgeous courtyard garden filled with brightly coloured wild flowers and the corn field that surrounds the venue. We were lucky enough to have a warm sunny day and so really made use of all of the outside spaces which were well maintained and looked after to such a high standard. The team was also fantastic, and made sure the day ran seamlessly without ever overly interfering. They guided us and gave us very professional advice when asked but also respected all of our ideas that made our wedding unique to us. Despite it being peak wedding season, we were made to feel very valued and special. The team were easy to communicate with and I really appreciated Joely popping over to the cottages on the wedding morning to reassure us all and to confirm everything was in hand. What stood out was how personable all the staff at the granary were. One reason we chose this venue was because we could bring in our own decorations and entertainment or suppliers without being tied into set packages. There was always flexibility. Overall, we felt everything was very slick and professional whilst maintaining a relaxed, calm and happy atmosphere. A perfect day for us and I would highly recommend this venue! Thank you to all involved.

Absolutely stunning venue

The Granary Barns is the perfect mix of modern and rustic. The Barn joined by the glass walkway really elevates the venue and helped our wedding day have a lovely indoor-outdoor feel that was welcoming to our guests.

The grounds are excellently maintained and there are so many perfect spots for photo opportunities throughout the day. We had 50 day guests and 80 evening guests and the venue was the perfect size but could have easily held more.

The prop shop with fire pits/ lighting options and other details available were a fab addition and one we loved having access to.

All of the staff at The Granary were so helpful throughout the process from booking to the day of and we will treasure our day forever. We could not have asked for anything better.

Wedding Review

The Granary Estates is a beautiful venue with fantastic staff who are so attentive and supportive. Because of the staff, Beth & Abbie mainly, our day went incredibly smoothly and all of our guests complimented both the venue and the staff.

In the build up to the wedding, Granary were so responsive to emails, our wacky ideas and always had a solution to any problem that we had.

I can't praise the venue or the staff high enough and we are definitely coming back to visit!
