The dream wedding!

I cannot recommend Vine View Barn enough. At first I admit I was a little sceptical of the venue staying open to the public and maybe not being as “pretty” as other venues, but I didn’t need to worry at all. Matthew is a real asset to the venue and made everything as pain-free as possible, and all the staff were amazing. The food was great (we had BBQ) and also had a pig race which was a great surprise for our guests. Everyone had an amazing time, and I cannot thank everyone enough for making our day so special.

Perfect wedding 5 stars

We had our wedding reception here a few days ago. We booked with exactly a year to wait. Matt the wedding event planner was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble. He was organised, kind and attentive.
We opted for an afternoon tea for our wedding guests as this is 1) what we love but 2) helped us stick to budget.
The food was fabulous, I’ve had nothing but compliments about what was picked by us and the quality of it all.
The coronation chicken sandwiches were also a huge hit.
We booked the pig race which made our guests laugh, despite the pigs not fancying an extra race that day! (They do say don’t work with animals!)

We also booked out the bonfire with marshalllows for our guests and this went down a hit! The guests loved this and I got them blankets to keep warm which helped.

We also paid for our guests to have the bbq again nothing but compliments and again we felt this was good value for us! The salads served with it were also fabulous.

We didn’t feel the need to book out the whole farm due to when we arrived and this worked so well for us.
We truly had the best day.
I spent 5k and this covered the cost for 43 of us.

It was a unique venue, our guests were not bored and they all loved seeing the animals. It’s also a great venue if you have children coming (we had two) and it was the best day ever for them.

Thank you for Matt and the team for everything
You did for us.

We will see you at the barn dance xx

The best day at the best venue

From the lead up to the big day, the whole experience was perfect. Matthew the events co-ordinator helped us with our organisation and was always prompt on the end of an email. We had so much choice of where to host but we choice to use the main barn and it did not dissapoint. The whole venue was beautiful, flexible and gave us the canvas to create our dream wedding. Food was floorless and all the guests still talk bout our amazing day now! They even recommended adult and kids entertainment. 100% would recommend for your big day.

Amazing Venue

Myself and my husband got married at Bluestone, it is a beautiful venue with so much to offer. It provides a relaxed atmosphere and Matthew ( Events Manager) was absolutely faultless, he was on hand every step of the way on the lead up to the wedding and on the day. A kind and supportive set of hands who we couldn't have done it without. The staff at the venue were also great and nothing was too much trouble for any of them. I highly recommend this venue, something a bit different to the norm, and worth it!

Classy, Fun, BEAUTIFUL Wedding Venue

I got married here on Sunday 27th Aug 2023. Matthew was the wedding planner and was really helpful and managed the whole day perfectly. It is an absolutely stunning venue. You have the classy beautiful vineyard and the fun special twist with the farm.

We had a pig race that the guests loved and got marred in the vineyard. The chef and food were amazing, at least 15 people told us its the best wedding food they had ever had and I completely agree. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

Perfect an amazing place to get married

We couldn’t have pick a better place for our wedding. Everyone said that they wouldn’t have thought of the place they all loved it. All the staff were lovely and the wedding and events Coordinator was amazing he made sure everything ran smoothly and he help so much along the way. They is so much for kids and adults todo from feeding the animals to going down the slide in the play barn. We had some amazing pictures taken in the vineyard and thought the trees, everything was just perfect and beautiful.

The most gorgeous wedding venue.

We chose to view Bluestone vineyards as Cholderton rare breeds farm was a place I came a lot to as a child so had a special place in my heart already.
However, the wedding venue in the vine view barn is stunning, it’s a blank canvas but a gorgeous open space in a fun and interactive farm. You get the best of both worlds of being able to completely personalise your wedding but whilst having a fun and unique venue with so many animals to see! Our wedding here was beyond perfect. From food to fun activities and a unique ring bearer!
A special mention has to go the wedding coordinator Matthew. When we first booked our wedding it wasn’t Matthew as the wedding coordinator. We had had quite a few issues getting a response from said team member, however, they left and Matthew joined. From the first time we met Matthew we knew we could trust him. He is the most friendly, thorough, perfectionist and loveliest wedding coordinator you’ll find. Nothing was too much trouble, he sorted everything and in a speedy timely manner. When I arrived at the wedding venue for my wedding, I looked for him for reassurance that everything was okay and on track and he kept me calm at the one moment I was definitely panicking. He made sure our wedding went without a hitch and we had the most perfect day. All our guests who attended said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to and I’m sure that down to Matthew helping us to make it perfect. His staff and team obviously deserve a mention as on the day he didn’t do it alone! The food and service from everyone there was second to none. If you’re considering something a little more unusual with things like an alpaca ring bearer (we loved Baz) and sheep and pig racing but with still the most beautiful venue then this is the right place for you!
