Most special day of my life

Michelle, Bill, Jenny and the team were beyond exceptional and we cannot thank them enough for the day and the whole lead up to it. They were able to offer an extensive list of vendors to connect with including flowers, DJ's, celebrants! They also had the Bridal Suite prepared for us which was absolutely stunning with amazing space for hair and make up to use. The actual venue itself is nothing short of breathtaking beautifully decorated and every area is just gorgeous. Thank you all so so much, I wish I could do it all again

Fell in love the moment we saw it

Myself and my Husband Guido had our wedding on 15th July 2017. We fell in love with the venue the moment we saw it. It has so much character to it and history. We had a beautiful day and we cannot thank John and especially Karen and her team for there hard work in making our day very special. This place is a hidden gem and we are glad to have got married somewhere unique.
Thank You

This Barn has the WOW Factor!

We recently got married at The Priory Barn Aug 08 The barn is huge and extremely impressive... as soon as we walked into the building on our first visit we knew it was the wedding venue for us. Our guests were amazed by the beauty of the barn. Everything ran like clockwork. The staff were extremely polite and competent. The food is to die for! Geoff the chef is a genius when it comes to food... Anything you want they will prepare, they do have a menu for you to choose from but it can be adapted to suit you! They will bend over backwards to help you achieve your day the way you want and envisage it. The grounds are extremely well kept... lovely for the piccies. Priory Barn is a fabulous venue for your wedding we would recommend it to anyone. I cant think of anything else you would need to know... Go and see it for yourself, I can assure you you will not be disappointed!
