We just had our wedding at The Tudor Barn this weekend, it was amazing it's beautiful but what really made it was the staff. From our first meeting with Beth to planning with Leah then Arena and the rest of the staff on the day they were all amazing so friendly, professional and so organised ensuring everything ran smoothly they went above and beyond. The food was delicious too we had lots of compliments from our guests. We would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of having their wedding here. Thank you again. Julia & Mark

A blissful space and outdoor setting for a wedding!
There dining service is amazing and you have so much freedom of space to move around. A lot of lovely natural light beaming through, where you can see the pond area outside.
As a filmmaker, I enjoy shooting wedding her, because you have that lovely scenery, tucked behind the venue, that is great for bride and groom shoots and family gatherings. I can't recommend this place enough. Always kept tidy and beautiful.
If you are ever in need of a Photographer or Videographer or even both? Get in contact.

Not what we had wished for..
I'm not usually one to write a review, specifically a negative one however, I feel so strongly that the wedding both me and my husband had hoped for would have been a totally different, and possibly joyful experience had it not been for Suzie Bailey, the 'managing director'. My husband and I first visited the venue back in February 2020, right before the global pandemic, the staff on greeting were lovely and absolutely sold the venue and it was everything we wanted, however, it all seemed to go downhill once Suzie had got involved. Throughout the whole process Suzie was condescending and rude. We understand the pandemic hit everyone and venues struggled immensely however we had to fight to change our date with Suzie as we were left in the lurch for a long period of time not knowing what we could do. Suzie’s manner and attitude towards us was dismissive and patronising, and when asking questions regarding the day, rather than giving us options and choices we were hit back with ‘well what do you want?’. Rather than there is an option of x y or z.
There were a number of occasions when Suzie had told me something on a phone call and then when asking her to clarify in person saying ‘I didn’t tell you that’.
Fast forward to the day of the wedding, we were told that we had to wear face coverings during the ceremony (no fault of their own, this was a decision made by the registrars), however, this decision was changed for the day and thankfully we didn’t have to wear them. I had also been told over the phone on 2 occasions that unless all of our guests (including ourselves) had a negative covid test or a covid vaccination passport we WOULD NOT be able to enter the venue. So..me and my husband absolutely made sure people knew this and sent out side notes with our invitations (which had an additional cost) to ensure no one was left unable to attend. I am more than aware that government rules had changed and were constantly changing overnight, but rather than saying ‘oh sorry, I wasn’t sure on the situation until today’, I was told ‘I didn’t tell you that’. When I questioned the response I was again shut down with ‘no I didn’t’. Suzie then made a comment to my mother on the day of the wedding, regarding the face covering situation saying ‘now you have got what you wanted’ and walked away. I do need to mention, the mask situation and/or covid testing was never an issue with any of my party or my husbands, and my mother was left feeling very upset and taken aback by such a snide comment.
From what we believed Suzie was there to run the wedding day, giving guests timings and making people comfortable and in the knowing of what was going on throughout the day. After the snide comment to my mother I didn’t see Suzie at all and there was another lady (who I cannot thank enough for how wonderful and friendly she was, named Amelie I believe).
Prior to the day, I had made Suzie aware that I was having my flowers dropped off at the venue in order for us all to collect when we arrived, the lack of professionalism and knowledge of the day, from the staff, meant my dad was not given his button hole. The issue I found with the venue and staff was that there was no one running the event, people were left around wondering what was happening next and I had to ask on many occasions what was happening, dinner took over 2 hours without an indication of the following timings until the DJ arrived and he could then announced the speeches.
Overall, I feel ultimately let down by the venue and the day was really not as special as my husband and I had hoped. I do genuinely believe if Suzie had a more friendly and personable bedside manner, our whole experience would have been completely different and neither me or my husband would feel disappointed.

Tudor Barn Eltham's reply:
Dear Hollie
Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that you felt the wedding was not how you had hopped for and that you felt the need to write a negative review rather than speak directly to us about your concerns.
In March 2020 we were, like many venues, ordered to shut down and could not host any further weddings or events. All the staff were either furloughed or let go, and as the owner of the business, it was left to Suzie to manage the 175 couples who were booked in with us. It was an extremely difficult time for both the business, and our clients, and there were many distressed couples, such as yourselves, with weddings that could not go ahead and had to be moved. The long periods of silence between phone calls and emails were simply because the company had no information to share with our clients, until the government had made their announcements.
Many couples were asking what their wedding would look like if they could go ahead once we were allowed to reopen; again, it was extremely difficult to inform our clients of the facts when the government would only published guidelines one week before the key dates. As guidelines were published Suzie was very clear with all clients what would happen at their events and followed verbal conversations up in writing. It was therefore surprising to hear that you had asked your guests to be vaccinated when this was not a legal requirement of the UK government prior to or at the time of your wedding. At all times Suzie was acting in your best interest and was simply trying to answer your questions in an ever changing, tense and difficult situation.
I also understand that you were very upset to hear that the Registrars were asking guests to wear face coverings over the ceremony when it was no longer a legal requirement. I know that Suzie went out of her way to speak to the registrar’s personally on your behalf to ask them to relax the rules as she could see how upset you were about this; therefore, the comment about her going up to your parents making snide remarks about getting what you wanted is completely unfounded and factually incorrect. Being the owner of one of the most successful weddings venues in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It would therefore not be in her interest to be rude and patronizing to clients when it is ultimately her business that would suffer.
Suzie also hosts the final meetings with all our clients to go through the details of their weddings which is then handed over to the events team so that they can deliver the event on the day. A document is created and shared with the clients, who at any time, can access this live document and make changes or view what has been discussed or arranged. Having checked the times of your event I am happy to state that your event, as per your function sheet, ran on time with no notes of delays to the food service, speeches, cake cutting or first dance. I am pleased to hear that our events team were on hand and that Amelie (our Event Manager and the person responsible for delivering the events) was well received on the day.
Feedback is a gift that we use to improve our services and how we deliver them to our clients, so I’d like to thank you once again for taking the time to send through your feedback and I hope that you have many positive memories of the day and the time spent with family and friends.
