This is the venue you need!

We got married at The Warren Estate in May and if I could I would do it every year! Everything was perfect, the big house the night before, the barn.. the staff.. the food.. the accommodation the night of the wedding. The grounds for pictures are perfect, we got some stunning shots! As a wedding supplier myself I know just how much The Warren Estate has to offer in every sense. They are just amazing. Kate went above and beyond for us, and we are forever grateful.

This venue is absolutely stunning and was everything we ever pictured however its not just the venue, the staff are the most attentive, thoughtful and kind people, they truly care about your day and your experience, they manage everything through and took care of so many things I had not even thought of. I would pick this venue again and again just for the service alone, they felt like family!

Beautiful Venue

We had our wedding at The Warren last week. It is an absolutely amazing venue with its grounds and character to set as the back drop to the wedding. Although we had to move a ceremony indoors due to the weather we still got to have our i do moment together.
We may have had a couple teething issues on the day but it wasn't anything that stopped us from having a good time. Kate and the team did a great job at making us and our friends and family welcome and looking after us.
The food at The Warren was amazing from breakfast to dinner all of it was perfect. The on site accommodation was great and all our guest who stayed there told us how good it was.

Unfortunately I didn't get her name but Kate's mum who works at the venue was amazing she did so much from helping set up to checking on me and the grooms men in the morning and telling my now wife how beautiful she looked in her dress. If you are reading this thank you from all of us for your hard work and smiling even when out in the rain.

Our Pagan day

From the first day we viewed the Warren Estate we knew we wanted to have our big day there. The venue is stunning and the staff all amazing. Having Wayside the night before for me and my girls to chill in the hot tub and then to get ready in the morning was really special. We had a Pagan style wedding with beer/flower men, the music we chose was really important to us, and all the finer details we wanted were all met with absolute “that’s not a problem” attitude. The day went perfectly without a hitch and it was a dream come true. Molly, Kate and all the gang on the day made me feel very calm and really was a big support on the morning when nerves kicked in. The food was amazing too!
Since we got married we have wanted to do it all over again and every single time we would choose The Warren Estate.

The Warren Estate: Beautiful Venue, Room for Improvement

We fell in love with the Warren Estates rustic charm almost instantly. We'd found the place we wanted to get married, and the price was good, a package deal that included on site accommodation, food, and a selection of drinks.

We had our first meeting with Kate who was assigned as our wedding coordinator and it was fantastic, we had a laugh and we sorted out all the details.

The red flags started happening when we tried to contact them, neither phoning or emailing seemed to get a response and we found ourselves chasing a few times before anyone came back to us.

Later, we were introduced to our new wedding coordinator Molly who was fine, but didn't stand out as someone who really cared about having the best day ever. This was the first time either me or my partner were going through the wedding process and it didn't feel like there was much enthusiasm to comfort us, just a mechanical answering of questions.

We had one final meeting with Molly before the wedding, three days before we were due to get married to discuss our wedding ceremony moving inside because of the weather and that's when Molly told us she was off until the Friday, the wedding day, but someone at reception would be able to help us get signed into the house. We also tried to book a table at the restaurant but was told we didn't need to, we just needed to show up. This was also followed up with an email, to which no one replied to.

On the day we arrived, no one was there to greet us, and the chef had gone home (it was around 4pm) so there was no food we could have on site. We ended up ordering dominoes and getting it delivered to the house.

At this point the team who were at the warren were setting up the tables inside, so my partner and I were getting excited, the possibility it had all changed and we were now back on for an outdoor wedding. When I contacted Molly to confirm on her day off, she had to then ring the operations manager, who was also off that day to sort it out and confirm what the plan was.

No, we were inside. So I had to tell the team and sort out the inside ceremony myself.

When some of the wedding party retired to bed, they also found an old dirty pair of socks in the bedding which was really odd and off putting, making us wonder if the bedding had indeed been changed since the last tennants.

On the day, things went as best they could but there were a few details which we noticed. Our ceremony signing music was absent, so everyone watched us quietly, instead of nice piano music in the background accompanying the ceremony.

We also noticed the flowers which hadn't been put back on the table during the turnaround for the wedding breakfast, but this was no biggie, they looked alright where they were, thanks to our florist Abi.

The food was the saving grace. It was absolutely gorgeous and everyone was catered for, vegans, vegetarians, and other dietary requirements.

Overall, the day was lovely, but there were some quirks which could have been sorted with a little more attention to detail.

The perfect venue

Everyone at The Warren Estate were amazing all helpful on the day and leading up to it. It was the first venue we looked at, we looked at 5 in total but kept comparing them to The Warren.
The day itself ran so smoothly, we didn’t feel rushed or stressed at all, everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was and how perfect the day was, that it felt relaxed and they all had so much fun.
They let us do/have whatever we wanted, we even had a rodeo bill in the evening which was a massive hit.

Thank you to everyone at The Warren Estate 💕

We had the best day everrrrr

We had our special day on the 21st of June 2025 and it was honestly the best day ever.
I cannot recommend the warrens estate enough, from the first time we walked in there for an open day everyone is just so friendly and welcoming.
The venue itself is just gorgeous and got lots of rooms on sight where guests can stay, they are all really nice rooms with everything you need. We booked the house the night before the wedding too for me, my mum and bridesmaids to stay and it really got the weekend started, it’s got a hot tub with outdoor furniture which was beautiful as we had really nice weather over our wedding weekend. In the morning we decided to get ready in the conservatory bit as it has loads of natural lighting and you can see all the wildlife walking around. It’s massive, beautiful, quiet & clean. My mum didn’t want to leave!
We had Kate as our wedding planner and she was just amazing, she makes you feel like your wedding is the only wedding she’s working with and really gives you that special feeling. Our wedding meetings was so easy and laid back which we loved! Nothings to much to ask and everyone does really bend over backwards for you.
We also had Jill who was a massive help with sorting things out and made sure everything was how we wanted , she was amazing.
The food on the day was INSANEEEE! I’m still dribbling over our beef wellington! Everyone since then has been saying how good the food was, so a big thank you to the staff working that day, you smashed it!
My only tiny tiny criticism is the venue don’t have aircon; our wedding was on the hottest weekend of the year so far and it was hot! They did get fans in for us what was so appreciated but I don’t think it’s fair for the poor staff who work on hot days running around like they do. That is my only negative.
I could really write a book on how much we loved having our wedding here, everything was perfect for us and we wouldn’t have wanted it anywhere else!
Thank you again for everyone who was working on our special day you honestly made it amazing.

Stunning day

We cannot thank The Warren Estate enough for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience just four weeks ago. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking grounds — the perfect backdrop for our special day.

Our guests are still raving about the delicious food, which was beautifully prepared and presented. As a vegetarian, having a proper roast that I could enjoy alongside my husband's chicken roast was incredibly important to me. Despite it not being an advertised option, The Warren Estate went above and beyond to accommodate this request without any hesitation.
The staff were exceptional — friendly, polite, and attentive, not only on the day itself but also throughout the entire planning process. Their support and professionalism made everything seamless.

Thank you so much to everyone at The Warren Estate for creating such a magical day for us. We will forever cherish the memories made there.

Brilliant and made our day perfect!

We had our wedding in November and the Warren Estate and their colleagues made our day perfect. The staff were very accommodating and helpful - we were able to set up the day before and the members of staff did everything they could on the day to make it go to plan! Having kind members of staff on your special day makes the day so much better as you know you have absolutely nothing to worry about and they will do everything to help the day! The grounds are beautiful too!!

Overall, we would highly recommend the Warren Estate for any wedding or event!

October 2024 Wedding

Superb Wedding very well organised, super friendly staff and being an absolute control freak I really had to trust that the wedding planners would deliver and they absolutely did they are so lovely! The venue is stunning and we had a beautiful sunny day so was able to have our outdoor wedding under the pergola. The food is incredible all guests were raving about it and it comes out piping hot and good portion sizes unlike some venues ive been to. The rooms are lovely and the Wayside house is also well worth booking. Our day ran so smoothly and they couldnt do enough for you with anything i asked. Overal fantastic venue and the best day ever!

From our very first viewing, it was ‘The One’!

We visited The Warren Estate as our very first wedding venue when they had an open day in Summer 2022. From walking in, it was almost as though it was magic - we had that feeling straight away (my husband got emotional from the get-go!). The whole journey, from booking our date to our wedding day, was painless & straight forwards! The team made us feel at ease & almost like part of the family! Meriel & Georgia are credits to the team, Darren was always there to reassure us (even giving that extra vote of confidence just before I went down the aisle!) & just gave us so much confidence in them as a whole! The food was amazing (we still get compliments about it from our guests!) & they catered brilliantly for various allergies & intolerances too. We were so pleased we chose this as our venue, everyone loved it just as much as we do! The team helped to set up the day, helped to pack up at the end of the night & throughout the day, they were so professional, helpful & just seemed like they loved the whole Wedding atmosphere, which was great!

-Apologies for not remembering the other members of staff working that day, they were all brilliant! We’re so very grateful!

Perfect wedding venue

We recently got married at The Warren Estate and it is the most stunning venue! The Barn itself is absolutely beautiful and the huge grounds are just amazing for photos. The staff there are so wonderful, Georgia was our coordinator and she is absolutely fabulous! Anything that we wanted to have at our wedding, she made it happen; nothing was too much trouble and the time, work and effort that she and the team put into our day was so amazing. We had a few planning meetings with her before the day and she was so organised and helped make the wedding planning stress free, she has a lovely calming energy which is just what we needed! We couldn’t be happier that we chose The Warren Estate as our wedding venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
