Tudor Barn Eltham

We recently had our wedding reception at the Tudor Barn (18.09.2021) and every element of our day was absolutely perfect. Suzie was so helpful, right from the start of wedding planning and made us feel so at ease with everything.

Even the companies recommended to us were lovely; we literally cannot thank you enough for the help and suggestions giving, and just making our day pure perfection.

The venue is such a lovely place, with beautiful surroundings. It really is the perfect place for a country feel, when you live in the city!
Also, the food served was absolutely delicious. We do have a few super fussy eaters and we were able to get everyone catered for!

All the staff that work at the Tudor Barn are literally amazing. All so polite and friendly, literally nothing was too much trouble. We have wheelchair users in the family and the staff were so caring and made them feel safe in getting up and down the stairs.

I could literally sing the Tudor Barns praises all day long. We had the most special day and a big chunk of it is thanks to EVERYONE at the Tudor Barn! 100% would recommend to everyone.

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.

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.

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 there.

We would thoroughly recommend booking your wedding day at the Tudor Barn. All of the team were accommodating and attentive from start to finish. In the lead up, and on the day itself, every employee went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Not only this; the venue is stunning and the food also fantastic!

Leah and the team at Tudor Barn worked tirelessly from the very first minute to the very last to make the whole day run as smoothly as possible, make everyone feel relaxed and able to enjoy the day. The entire process from taking the initial tour with Aimee, through to picking up decorations the day after the wedding was made incredibly easy, taking all the pressure off of the Bride and Groom.

All of the guests commented how amazing the Barn itself was as a venue, how good the food was and how welcoming the team were. We could not have asked for more. Thank you for all your help in making our day perfect.

We just wanted to extended our thanks to Arina, Leah, Beth and the full team that was working during our Wedding yesterday. We had a perfect day and have been receiving lots of positive comments about how smoothly the day ran and how good the food was from our guests. This would not have been possible without the hard work from the team on the day.

We had our wedding here and it was an excellent day! The food was excellent, as commented by a number of our guests, the staff were excellent and the day went without a single problem arising. Everyone had a fantastic time in the beautiful surroundings of the Tudor Barn!

We held our wedding here, and it must have been the lowest-stress event! Amanda and her team looked after us all the way through, from the time we initially booked to the day itself, where everything went without a hitch. There were no problems with any of the little things we wanted to do to make it ours, rather than just "a" wedding.
More than one guest remarked to me afterwards that the food they had enjoyed was the best they had ever had at a wedding.

My grandson & his now wife booked the Tudor Barn for their wedding on 1st June 2018. Throughout the whole process they received professional help and support to plan their special day. The day itself went amazingly well. All of the staff which we had contact with were friendly and truly helpful. The venue was decorated exactly how they wanted and looked beautiful. The food at the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet was well presented and tasted lovely. We had comments from the guest that the buffet in the evening had so much choice and not a sausage roll or soggy sandwich was in sight. All that's left to say is if your booking a wedding I would HIGHLY recommend this venue and a big THANK YOU for making my grandson & his wife's day a special & happy occasion

My son married his beautiful bride at the Tudor Barn 2 weeks ago and it was an amazing time with everything going smoothly. This venue is quite the jewel in the crown; you are virtually on the high street yet the photos portrayed this lovely place as though it were in the country due to the gorgeous gardens surrounding the building which make ideal photo settings.

My son and daughter in law had 92 guests seated for the wedding breakfast with quite a fair number of others arriving in the evening. My personal fear about the guests being cramped was soon alleviated as I could see there was plenty of room (yet the atmosphere was cosy in a positive way) once the circular tables and Chiavari chairs were in place. Flowers, which covered the beams and were part of the Barn's decor, helped set the scene when combined with the florist's displays.
The food was lovely, both the main meals and evening dishes, so no one was hungry however the buffet was not left indefinitely due to Health & Safety policies. Staff were attentive and professional from start to finish

A hidden gem in the middle of Eltham. Having searched for months for a venue for our reception we stumbled upon Tudor Barn Eltham by chance. It was a perfect oasis of greenery off a not so great high street. Whilst the Barn is an ideal venue for Londoners in search of the perfect rustic wedding - the jewel in this crown is the amazing staff. Mikala and her super team - made the process effortless. They had everything under control and their ability to accommodate last minute changes with a smile amazed me. I was told most brides cry on the day because things don't go according to plan - well I smiled, laughed and danced the night away because the Tudor Barn team made sure everything flowed smoothly. Great food and quick service . We loved our wedding reception and so did our family and friends!!! Thank you Mikala and super team! We are coming back for the 10th Anniversary party!!!

An absolutely brilliant place to get married, my son had his wedding here on Sunday and we all had a fantastic day from start to finish. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. My son and daughter in law said that they didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was organised for them and they could just relax and enjoy the day. I would recommend the Tudor Barn to anyone who is getting married, I am now nagging my other son to get married so we can go there and do it all over again.

Such an amazing place to get married. We got married here last week and everything went perfectly. We got some beautiful photos in the gardens and the staff were just perfect from start to finish. So thrilled that our wedding venue was the Tudor Barn x
