The Great Barn, honestly the most perfect wedding venue we could have dreamed of. From the minute you drive up it’s driveway the venue is absolutely beautiful, the indoor spaces, courtyard, and grounds all equally as stunning. The planning process was seamless, from the initial enquiry to food tasting to the wedding itself, the staff went above and beyond to be accommodating and help create our dream day. Particular thanks go to Kate who initially showed us around and Grace who was our designated Wedding Manager- they were both fantastic. All the staff were absolutely lovely and we were always made to feel welcome and very at home at the venue. What I particularly loved about the Great Barn was the transparency; there are no hidden costs and what you see is what you get. The venue is naturally beautiful and we chose minimal decoration which suited our style and budget. The food was delicious and we had so many compliments on it from guests, especially the vegetarian guests who were amazed by the vegetarian options and have not stopped talking about them since. The bridal prep room was a really useful space, not only for getting ready in, as it was so spacious light and airy, but you have access to it throughout the day and having a young baby it was ideal to have a quiet space tucked away from the wedding for her to feed, nap etc. The fact they have 3 cottages on-site was ideal for what we needed too and plenty of other accommodation options locally. We had the most amazing wedding and cannot thank everyone at The Great Barn enough.

Our wedding at the Great Barn was perfect.

The venue was beautiful, the food was excellent, and everything ran perfectly. Vicky coordinated everything with a seamless confidence, and all of our interactions with the staff at the Great Barn were excellent. There was no doubt that the venue was perfect after our initial viewing. The bar and ceremony room were still being renovated at the time, but the team showed us renderings of the expectation and the team did a remarkable job delivering on that vision.

The Great Barn have been communicative on email where required and the planning meetings allowed us to ask all the questions we needed to. We were able to drop off things the night before and collect the day after, having stayed in the lovely cottages the night of the wedding.

Along with Hibiscus floral design, providing a wonderful suite of flowers and decorations, the venue was setup perfectly and it was magical to walk into on the day. Everything was completely in hand at all times, we as bride and groom could simply focus on enjoying the day. The team worked seamlessly together. When the registrars were stuck in bank holiday traffic, Vicky reassured us that they were on their way and it was all in hand. The team worked diligently to ensure all dietary needs were catered for. When the ceremony ended the team coordinated moving flowers from the ceremony room to enhance the other space for the day and it all looked perfect. When the bride needed help preparing her dress for the evening Vicky was on hand to help bustling a somewhat stubborn dress to ensure the bride could enjoy here evening.

Limoncello shots were a perfect addition to the speeches, and segued us into a wonderful meal. The lamb croquettes were the highlight for me, but it was all wonderful. We loved by the Rioja and Viognier as our wine choices.

Rather than indulging in an expensive cake, we elected to have an "Espresso Martini" moment, which Vicky and team fully supported and on the day the drinks were ready on time, per the schedule, without us having to think about it. When it was time for evening food - it was abundant and delicious. Thankfully the weather held and we enjoyed time on the outdoor terrace.

Combined with Sam Bennett photography, Hibiscus Floral design, Signed by Charlotte, Signature Moments, and the registrars, our day was perfect.

Thank you team for a wonderful day.

We had a fantastic wedding day at the Great Barn. My sisters and I had our hair done in the dressing and ordered pastries in advance. We were expecting just a few but there were loads, with fruit as well!

The weather was sunny so we were able to have photos taken under the trees at the front of the venue and on the swing as well as people throwing confetti on the terrace at the back. The venue was about the right size for our group of nearly 70 people and there wold have been room for more people in the evening. We were also able to have one room for dancing and another for chilling.
Our wedding planners were super-helpful and got back to us quickly if we had queries or requests. Grace, who managed our wedding on the day, ensured everything ran like clockwork and was always on hand when we needed anything. The food was really good and people liked having the wood fired pizzas in the evening.

We also stayed in Aynho cottages, which were comfortable and convenient. We would definitely recommend booking this venue as although there are cheaper options, this seems to be one of the best value for money venues in the area.

(I'm afraid I can't attach a photos as it is saying they are too small).

I couldn’t imagine a better place to host your wedding. From the moment we first walked in to view the great barn, it was clear that it was the place for us and the support provided by their staff was amazing. Jess helped us with the wedding planning and then was our venue coordinator on the day. She was amazing and I’m not sure I would have been able to relax throughout the day if it weren’t for how supportive and amazing she was.
The staff at the great barn have been super helpful throughout the whole process and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married.
Thank you for helping us have an amazing wedding day!

We got married at The Great Barn one week ago, and we can't even put into words how incredible the day was.

It was the first venue we went to see and we were sold straight away! The new ceremony barn, the wooden square tables, the decor - it's just beautiful, and all day we had guests coming up to us telling us what a gorgeous venue it was.

Jess managed our wedding and we cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for us. We had a couple of planning meetings with her, where we could ask as many questions as we liked, take our time to look around the venue again, and we never felt rushed. On the lead up to the day, we had some questions which she replied to almost straight away and just made the whole process so smooth.
On the day, she was a literal superstar! So calm, organised and efficient - doing so much behind the scenes that we didn't even see to make it the most special day for us. She was wonderful and helped with everything, from helping to cue the bridesmaids walking down the aisle, to bringing us a plate of canapes while we had our formal photos, so we actually got a chance to try them - and make sure we ate something! Jess was just wonderful and we had so many people come up to us to say 'Wow, Jess is amazing!' and we couldn't agree more!

Our evening manager was Vicky and she was also just wonderful, lovely, kind, warm and on hand to help with everything and round us all up at the end of the night! She met us the next morning when we arrived to collect our decorations and flowers and had packaged everything up already, so we just loaded the car with the boxes - amazing when you're feeling slightly 'tired' the next day!

All day we had compliments on the decor, the venue, the beautiful ceremony barn, the incredible food (it's SO good!) and all the wonderful staff, who went above and beyond for us. The wait staff, the bar staff - they were all lovely and so helpful.

We would recommend The Great Barn to anyone and we cannot thank the team enough for making our day so special.

We knew the minute we saw this venue we wanted to get married here! It is beautiful, romantic and very well laid out for a seamless wedding! The ceremony barn is beautiful, as is the venue itself, it has outdoor and indoor space and the grounds are beautiful, with many areas for great photo opportunities! The food is also great - lots of choice and is great quality - we received so many compliments on it. What sold it for us though is how amazing the team were! Jess and Vicky looked after us from the point of inquiry all the way through to the day itself. I couldn't recommend them enough! We're so glad we chose the Great Barn for our wedding venue! Thank you to the Great Barn team for making every part of our day wonderful!

The perfect venue, made more beautiful with recent renovations. The team are amazing and so helpful with planning and took care of everything on the day. We can't recommend The Great Barn enough!!!!

We recently got married at the Great Barn and simply had the best day ever. Right from our first viewing, through to our booking meetings and everything in between the team were great. No detail was too small and everything was considered. On the day I didn't worry about a thing. Everything was dealt with and we had the most amazing time. Our friends and family were so complementary of the food, the service and the general atmosphere - it was amazing. We are so grateful for the team for making our special day such an incredible experience. Thank you xx

Great venue, beautiful location with cottages on site to stay over. Great food, great service!
Would definitely recommend!

We had the most amazing wedding day at the Great Barn. The day flowed seamlessly. The service from the staff was exceptional, they were all so helpful to our guests. The food was delicious… we had the roast beef and it was lovely. They helped keep my partner and I calm before the ceremony and helped us have an amazing day!

The Great Barn is the most stunning venue we ever could have wished for on our wedding day. Our wedding coordinator, Jess, went above and beyond to make the day run smoothly and we are so incredibly grateful. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning on getting married. It was the most perfect day! Thank you so much to all of the staff at The Great Barn!

In 2022 a week after being engaged, my now husband and I found this venue though a quick google search and after being the first and only venue we visited we knew it was where we wanted to get married. It is the most exquisite building with recently renovated modern touches that just work so well together. We got married last weekend and it was the most incredible and memorable day! Vicky is the most attentive, patient, understanding and just the most incredible person. She honestly made our day the success that it was. The food was amazing, the chefs absolutely smashed our menu out of the park.
So whether you're getting married or have an event to plan, I highly recommend hosting it at The Great Barn!

Guests' reaction when they entered The Great Barn was "wow"! We hosted my daughter and son-in-law's wedding blessing over Christmas at the Barn and, dressed for the holidays, it looked magical. The ceremony was candlelit and it was like a movie set. The team at The Great Barn are professional, supportive and helpful - which was essential as we were organizing the event from overseas. We hoped for a special day and they exceeded expectations. As we say in Canada, "awesome"!

As soon as we viewed the Great Barn, we knew that we wanted to get married there. We cancelled viewings we had booked elsewhere because we knew that nowhere else would be able to match the feeling we got when we saw it. It is absolutely beautiful. Throughout the entire build up to our wedding, the team were friendly and quick to respond to any queries we had. The actual day was faultless. Not only is the barn a beautiful place to get married, the staff are absolutely lovely and fantastic at what they do. The whole day was so seamless from start to finish and our guests were in awe! Special thank you to Laura and Andie who really went above and beyond for us. This is a wonderful wedding venue and we would give anything to re-live our experience getting married there!!!

Can I start by saying a HUGE thank you to everyone at the barn for making our wedding day a day to remember. So many people commented on the venue, staff, and how attentive everyone was. The whole day flowed amazingly from timings, to food, drinks etc. We loved every minute. Thanks so much to you and Jerry especially for making the day run perfectly for us. A gem of a venue!
