We had our wedding at the Old Barn in March 2024 and we couldn’t have wished for a better day. From our first meeting with Diane the year prior to the day everything was spectacular. Diane is a complete professional, extremely friendly organised and hard working, she worked closely with our suppliers making the weeks leading up to the wedding stress free. Throughout the planning she recommended some fantastic suppliers! The venue is beautiful in a lovely location it was the perfect size for our wedding of 80 day guests. The food was spectacular, I have been to a few weddings at other venues where the food is mediocre however the food on our day was superb, the roast beef and Yorkshire puddings were beautiful! All the staff at the old barn worked incredibly hard, always with a smile on their face and they couldn’t have done enough for us. Thankyou so much to everyone at the Old Barn for creating such a magnificent day for us, the only let down is we can’t do it every year!

The old barn went above and beyond any of our expectations. The entire day went without a hitch, and a lot of this was due to the exceptional work of all the staff there. The quality of service, organisation and their obvious desire to ensure our day was something we would remember was so apparent.

The venue was stunning and beautiful decorated, the food was so good and the staff efficient and welcoming throughout.

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for helping make our day so special.

We had the most amazing wedding day at The Old Barn. From the very beginning, the team, especially Harriet and Diane, were incredibly supportive, organised and thoughtful. They made the whole planning process feel easy and stress-free, and we always felt we were in good hands.

The venue itself looked absolutely stunning on the day, and everything ran so smoothly thanks to the great work behind the scenes. Our guests commented on how beautiful the setting was, and we couldn’t agree more. The bar staff were also fantastic, friendly, professional, and really added to the atmosphere.

We’re so happy we chose The Old Barn for our special day. Thank you again to everyone involved for making it so memorable!

We recently celebrated our wedding at the old barn in Esholt, and the entire experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. The staff were not only friendly but also attentive, providing prompt service throughout the day. Diane and Harriett did an outstanding job organizing every detail. The transitions between the ceremony, meal, and evening party were impressively quick, ensuring we never felt like we were waiting.

The venue itself was beautifully decorated, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food and drink.

We particularly enjoyed the addition of the driving range. We bought a couple of baskets of balls, and everyone had a great time trying it out.

We have a family member in a wheelchair, the stair lift meant that they didn’t miss out on any key moments in the day.

Alex, the resident DJ, was fantastic, keeping the dance floor lively all night long.

When we returned the next morning to gather our belongings, everything was neatly packed and ready for us.

A heartfelt thank you to Diane and the entire team; we had the most wonderful day!

From start to finish, we couldn’t have hoped for a better experience at the Old Barn.
Diane and team helped us every step of the way and we’re so accommodating to our needs.
The venue looked fabulous and everything ran smoothly on the day - nothing felt like any trouble. Our guests commented on how fantastic Diane and team were.
Thank you so much!

We booked The Old Barn for our wedding in May and the day was everything we could have wanted and more. We met with Diane back in March 2024 and from us booking until the big day she was really responsive and professional. She made sure everything ran smoothly on the day and we can’t thank her enough, as well as the rest of the team. The venue was dressed beautifully and we added the extra light curtain for the ceremony and LOVE letters for the evening reception, both were a lovely addition, as well as the sweet cart throughout the day. The food was excellent, the number of choices you can have for each guest to pick from is great and not many venues offer so much choice, our guests all commented on how diverse the meal choices were for each course and we had no complaints about any of the food. I would highly recommend The Old Barn, we live locally so although it was convenient for us the whole venue and day exceeded any of the expectations we had prior to the big day. Their resident DJ is also fantastic!

Wow what can I say! From the moment we first visited The Old Barn at Esholt and met Diane we knew it was going to be the perfect venue for our special day. And it certainly was! Diane was so friendly, professional, informative and communicative from start to finish. She could answer all our questions, lay all our concerns and queries to rest and went above and beyond to make sure we had our dream wedding … and we did. The Old Barn itself is absolutely stunning, even before adding our own touches on the day it is already beautifully done out inside. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and woods we were spoilt for choice for backdrops for our wedding day photos. The food on the day was absolutely amazing with so many of our guests commenting on how much they had enjoyed it. Diane, Harriet and her team worked tirelessly on the day to make sure our day was absolutely perfect and it was. All the staff were so friendly and polite and catered to our every whim. The resident DJ had clearly listened to our playlist and kept the floor fillers coming. I could not recommend this venue highly enough, a little hidden gem in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside, utterly beautiful and a perfect day.

The Old Barn were absolutely fantastic, exceeding all expectations. And really glad we picked the old barn for our special day.

Very delicious food!!
It was really good to give our guests plenty of food choice rather than other venues where it is set one choice for all, this catered for all our guests. Tweaking and changing menu choices, For example we had the chicken with a BBQ sauce rather white wine sauce. The mains were generous portion sizes and very filling, clean plates all around. Vegetarian and Vegan options available with bespoke choices for the Bride in our case. Also, accommodating for our own choice of alcohol to be served.

The ceremony room is stunning with the wood beams, stone walls, drapes and lights; making the room feel magical on our special day. Different colour options provided by the venue for the seats. Thankgod Harriet was there on the handover day to help from meltdowns and last minute decorations.

With the barn been next to a golf driving range guests can have a swing while they waited for us to come back from the photoshoots. Plenty of outdoor space allows for guests to spread out, but more importantly garden games to be played.

They were really onboard with one of the groomsmen being our master of ceremonies, having high charisma it was great to have him. They kept him at ease before the day; on the day, prompted him what to say and when making it smooth and easy.

The package prices are really inclusive offering more than other venues that would normally be paid for such as cake knife, easel, seat covers, etc. They worked really well with our other suppliers especially the quartet.

All were flexible, friendly and listened to our requests; tailoring the wedding and making it all unique to us. Throughout the process and preparation you made us feel relaxed and calm.

From us, family and guests thankyou for a magical day.

What a fabulous venue and team!

Diane:
From the minute we met Diane she put us at ease and took us through all of the details that we needed, answering our million questions with patience. Communication was excellent throughout with super fast responses to emails, follow up calls and great flexibility with us both working full-time. Not only did Diane ensure that the planning process was seamless, she worked tirelessly with the team to make sure that everything was perfect on the day too - even sewing me back into my dress after the strap split before the ceremony.

Venue:
Such a great venue - we loved that we had access to both floors, and it gave some of our guests a quieter area to be able to sit and chat in. A perfect size for the number of guests we had - circa 40 days guests, plus additional 40 evening guests. Enough space upstairs for us to have a full band and still have plenty of space for all of our guests. Also have to mention the DJ who was absolutely fabulous - and again such a reasonable price for what was included!

Decor:
An absolutely gorgeous venue before adding any of your own decor! Additional decor available for hire at reasonable prices. The room was set up to perfection, and we so impressed that all was arranged for us.

Value for money:
OMG - this venue charges waaaay too little for what they offer (certainly during off-peak times). The food and drinks packages were excellent quality and the overall price was beyond competitive.

Summary:
There is nothing at all to criticise. It really was the most seamless day, thanks to all of Diane's advice and guidance and the great team who supported on the day. So many guests commented on the venue, but more importantly on the service of the team - because at the end of the day that's what made it for us! So a huge thanks from us to all involved - and we wish you every success for the future. If we could do it all over again, we'd be back in a heartbeat.

What a fantastic day we had when we got married at The Old Barn. From start to finish the service bas been perfect. Great communication, friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond throughout. The venue was beautiful. Just perfect. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married. And what a wonderful team of staff they have who all helped to make our day extra special. We can’t thank them enough. We would highly recommend The Old Barn as the perfect wedding venue.

Highly recommend The Old Barn,Esholt!!!
Our winter wedding was everything we could have asked for and more. Harriett and Diane were so helpful, informative and accommodating to our wants and needs for our special day. They took care of everything from start to finish.
The day went perfect, our guests have all commented on how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the staff were and we couldn’t agree more! We had the most amazing day, and we’re so happy we picked The Old Barn, Esholt.
Thank you!

Our wedding at The Old Barn was absolutely fantastic could not recommend this venue enough. Diane was our wedding expert and she made sure our day went smoothly and with no hitches. Nothing was too much trouble and they are always up for new ideas. I had an Elvis impersonator at mine who sung during the ceremony and did 2 sets at night. The food choices are really good too.

The day was perfect! They have the best staff, such an amazing venue and the team just were the best! All our worries went out the window and the day ran so incredibly smoothly! They deserve all the praise and awards in the world! Thank you so much for making our day what it was! We will forever be grateful! Love you all!!!!!

Diane was thorough and responsive from our first enquiry. We booked our wedding over 4 years in advance, so Diane was flexible in letting us reserve 2 weekends until we knew for definite. Communication was clear throughout and nothing was too much. The day ran incredibly smooth and we felt confident after our handover meeting the day before. Everyone enjoyed the day, commented on how beautiful the venue was, and loved the food. The venue was exactly what we needed and wanted for our 95 guests and was worth every penny. The driving range was a massive hit and such great fun for all our guests. The venue were accommodating of accessibility for guests, but also the band in the evening. We were able to have fireworks like we had always dreamed of too.

I don’t even know where to begin. From our first viewing of this venue the service has just been incredible. The entire team, Diane in particular, are fantastic at what they do and made Deke and I feel at ease through the whole process. We had viewed a handful of venues and can truly say The Old Barn just blew the others completely out of the water. In terms of value for money it is second to none. The whole vibe of the venue, cosy, intimate, barn feel, it was just beautiful. The food was fantastic and all of our guests were nothing but complimentary. The Old Barn were also extremely flexible catering to our third party decorators and singers needs and we even had a Photo Booth set up in the evening which I had forgot to make them aware of until the guy showed up!! Even still, this was no problem for the staff - they worked so professionally the entire day. We are so sad this chapter of our lives has closed and although we are so excited to begin our new chapter as a married couple we will always be a little bit sad that we don’t get to re live the day again. We also used the resident DJ who was fantastic, it was a long tiring day and he kept the mood high and fun well into the evening. The Old Barn will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we are so thankful to the entire team for all of their hard work. - Lily & Deke Furniss
