Beautiful Venue

We could not recommend The Olde Bell enough for a wedding venue! From the beginning with Leah, who was always available to answer our queries. To Vincent, who we can’t thank enough - he was absolutely fantastic, kept the day running smoothly, so professional and made the day perfect! Lots of our guests commented on how incredible the food was and it was delicious! We would definitely recommend the Olde Bell, and it really is the perfect wedding venue! Thank you to everyone who made our wedding day so special and memorable!

The Perfect Wedding Barn 🤍

The Tithe Barn at The Olde Bell ticked every box for us. Since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to get married at a barn in Hurley; it is such a beautiful historic village and I have so many fond memories of family picnics by the river. As soon as we got engaged, the Olde Bell was the first venue on our list. We went to an open evening and didn't need to see anywhere else. We booked it almost immediately, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made.

Leah, our wedding co-ordinator has been superb throughout the process, answering every question and putting any worries at ease. When attending meetings, the venue staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We will definitely be back regularly to stay at the inn and eat in the restaurant for anniversaries / celebrations. On the day, we had an events manager called Vincent, who was equally as excellent. Everything ran incredibly smoothly on the day, thanks to the entire team.

Going with the rustic package was the perfect choice for us. With so much included, such as catering, five guest rooms, tableware and crockery, it was hassle-free and great value for money. The rooms are located right next to the barn, and many guests commented how convenient it was to be able to nip to their room to grab items or change shoes. A couple of months before the wedding, we also had an excellent food tasting included in the package - just the two of us! The meal got us so excited for the big day, and the staff treated us very well.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Olde Bell. So many guests have said how much they loved the venue, and if you are looking for a barn that's full of rustic charm, the Olde Bell will not disappoint.

Amazing barn wedding

Me and my wife got married at the Olde Bell in June 2024 and felt really well looked after throughout the process. It's a really great venue with lots of space, options for photos and the on site accommodation is a bonus. The barn is lovely, exactly what we wanted. We had a few different wedding coordinators during the whole process but they communicated well with each other and with us throughout to give reassurance and ensure the day was everything we asked for. Would definitely recommend

Perfect wedding day

We had such an amazing wedding at The Olde Bell. Value for money was unbeatable - we got married at the Malt House which included 13 bedrooms. The food was amazing, everything run perfectly smoothly and obviously the venue itself is stunning. We could not have picked a better place

Our dream wedding

After a large search and manu venue viewings we found the olde bell in 2024, my fiance and I wrote down on a peaceful of paper each our favourite venue and revealed on the count of three. It was unanimous and we quickly put a deposit down.

From thereon the staff were reat, lots of contact and help with planning. We went through the recommended suppliers, some of which we chose and some of which we got from elsewhere. In either case the team at the old bell were super in helping our vision come to life. Particular exampleswere sorting out logistics for the cake which my wife's mum made, and some flowers being done by family friends.

The day itself was fantastic, we loved every moment.

Looking back I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the olde bell, and I'm happy with the price we paid, the value and quality we got can't be faulted.

A wonderful experience!!

We had an amazing day at The Olde Bell in February. From the first email exchange with Leah to the big day everything was perfect, she is possibly the kindest, most helpful person I have ever met! Thank you Leah for all you do. Our guests loved the food and the barn looked so beautiful. We loved being able to have all of our guests stay on sight and made the day feel like a whole weekend wedding.

A dream come true!

Our wedding had been 19 months in the making, come December 2024 our original venue sadly had to close.

Fortunately, they had found us an alternative venue of The Olde Bell. We could have The Malt House. Quickly got in touch, went to view and fell in love - it was booked!

Communication between ourselves and wedding co ordinator Leah was a consistent throughout.
The whole team are friendly, attentive, respectful, and quite frankly went above and beyond for us.

Our wedding day was truly a dream come true, our visions came to life and it was the most perfect day.
Our friends and family have all spoken highly of the venue since.

On behalf of my husband and I, we would like to thank everyone at The Olde Bell, special mentions to Leah, Dominic, Terry and Ruva for all they did.
We will forever highly recommend the venue for the perfect wedding!

Highly Recommend The Olde Bell for Your Special Day!

From the moment we first engaged with The Olde Bell to the day of our wedding (and even after!), the entire team has been absolutely incredible. Everyone was so friendly, responsive, accommodating, and genuinely happy to help - nothing ever felt like too much trouble.

They went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly special, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The venue itself is beautiful, but it’s the team that makes it exceptional.

A huge thank you to everyone at The Olde Bell — and a special shoutout to Leah, Dominic, Martin, and Matt. You are all amazing, and we’re so grateful for everything you did for us.

We couldn’t recommend The Olde Bell more highly to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!

Amazing experience with The Olde Bell

When we first enquired about weddings at the Olde Bell, it happened to be a week before they were hosting a wedding fair so we went along and met Leah. From that moment we knew it was the right place for us and felt like we were in safe hands. Leahs relaxed professionalism made the experience of planning feel easy and transparent. We were offered templates and examples of what we could go for but had total flexibility within the structure and feel of the day. All our ideas and requests were accommodated and we we're prompted for decision making with a nice clear timeline of what needed to done at our end.
The day itself was smooth, with Leah appearing at the right moments to keep us on schedule and checking in. We have so many happy memories of our wedding day and really enjoyed our experience with the Olde Bell. All the buildings are gorgeous and our guests could stay at the pub either side so we could extend the celebrations. We've had a lot of guests praising the venue, Hurley itself as a beautiful little village, and the personability of all the staff during the stay. We really can't recommend this experience enough and are so grateful to Leah, Jordan, Dom and the team for making it all happen

Outstanding Wedding Venue and Staff

We had the most amazing wedding day at The Olde Bell. Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue looked, how delicious the food was and how well organised it was. The smooth running of the day was made possible by the exceptional staff.

Leah, our wedding coordinator, was incredible from start to finish. She guided us through the entire planning process with kindness and patience, always responsive and full of helpful suggestions.

On the day itself, Vincent, the event manager, was fantastic. He managed everything seamlessly, kept everything running on time, and was both friendly and attentive throughout.

The rest of the staff were equally professional. From serving drinks and canapés to the Wedding Breakfast and bar service, we were delighted with the excellent job they did. The wedding breakfast was really tasty. Guests also enjoyed the canapés and the choice of drinks: Pimm`s (alcoholic beverage and Elderflower drink (soft drink).

The wedding package was very reasonably priced and offered some of the best value for money we could have hoped for. Overall, our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and The Olde Bell and their wonderful team played a huge part in making it so.

The wedding of our dreams!

We cannot begin to thank Leah Vincent and the whole team at the Olde Bell enough for supporting us in creating the most incredible day of our lives. We have heard nothing but great feedback from our friends and family who joined us to celebrate our special day. From the first meeting with Leah all the way up until the day before the event with Vincent, The whole process was seamless. Any queries were taken on board and responded to in prompt time which made the preparations and lead up completely stressfree. Like wise, having Vincent as the coordinator for the day meant that the whole process was completely stress-free and ran perfectly down to the minute. Vincent and Leah are absolute professionals in their field. Not only was the venue beautiful, the food was incredible. The value for money was well worth it and we have memories to last a lifetime from having our family and friends stay with us at this wedding venue for a magical day.! Also spent the following day carrying on the celebrations in the old bell pub garden which felt like a natural after party venue, with everyone talking about what an incredible day it was. We can’t wait to return on our anniversary with our families to have lunch and reminisce on a fantastic day. Thanks to everyone – what a team!

Great venue.

Had an absolutely fantastic day. In the lead up to the wedding Leah was so professional and helpful we could not ask for more. She guided us all the way through and gave us some ideas. Being a lot older bride and groom we wanted a more relaxed wedding and what she suggested fitted the bill perfectly. Her team are great. Vincent the events manager on the day and the team were so attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. We felt like Royalty. It is a beautiful venue. All the guests were praising the venue and said the food was wonderful. I would not hesitate to go there again the day went too quickly! I thoroughly recommend The Olde Bell. You certainly will not be disappointed.
