The Prefect Venue

What can I say other than this venue absolutely made our wedding. From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the one. Not only is is absolutely beautiful and the perfect cozy venue, but the staff are an absolute delight to work with. We had the pleasure of working with Sophie, John and Rachel and from start to finish, they were the most helpful, kind and supportive team either of us have ever worked with. Nothing was too much trouble and we wouldn't have changed a single thing about our day. Thank you so much WB team! If we could give you a million stars, we would!

Perfect Winter Wedding

Winters Barns was the perfect venue for our winter wedding on the 29th December 2023. We cannot fault the venue in anything; they were attentive, communicated well (with my 100 questions!) and really made us feel like we were the only couple to have ever got married there. The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning and were perfect for our professional photos. We would like to thank Winters Barns for an amazing wedding day.

Better than perfect!

We had our wedding at winters barns in early march and we had the best wedding! There are so many photo opportunities at winters barns to choose from which are all stunning- interior and exterior. All the organising was easy for us as it was done in house by the wedding coordinator- in our case, it was Lizzie. Lizzie was absolutely brilliant with all aspects of our wedding and so organised and professional. The ceremony itself was perfect and was all ready to go very early for me to see over before the actual ceremony. The Bridal salon offered everything the bridal party needed, as did the pump room. The cottage was perfect, so clean and so tidy. As was all of the rooms in the farm house and the hop picking hut. Jon the barman was so kind and polite and really was a superb character, he also helped make the evening so memorable. there was not a single thing I found a fault with and our wedding day went so perfectly and smooth because of the beautiful surroundings and organised co-ordination from Lizzie, Jon and the rest of the team at winters barns. Absolute perfection, Thankyou so much for Making our day so special!

Winters Barns amazing

Our wedding at Winters Barns was a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the enchanting atmosphere and timeless charm. The stunning surroundings and well-maintained grounds created the perfect backdrop for our special day.

The staff at Winters Barns went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Their professionalism and warm hospitality made us feel truly special. From the seamless coordination to the meticulous attention to detail, the entire day ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy each moment.

The ceremony area, with its rustic elegance and intimate setting, created an unforgettable experience. The reception space was equally impressive, with charming decor and a spacious layout that comfortably accommodated our guests. The lighting and ambiance added a touch of romance, making the evening even more magical.

We can’t rate Winters Barns highly enough. It exceeded our expectations in every way, providing us with cherished memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines beauty, elegance, and exceptional service, Winters Barns is the perfect choice.

Beautiful venue, incredible team

Winters Barns is an amazing all-round venue. The staff team is very responsive and helpful and they made the day run smoothly and it all went off without a hitch. They listened to all the ideas that we had and offered advice on how to incorporate them into our day and how to make them even better.

The venue itself is stunning, with so many places for beautiful pictures and little hide outs if you just want some time to yourself. The simplicity of the venue is what appealed to us the most. It doesn't need loads of decorations to look amazing.
The accommodation on site is in the same style as the venue and is well presented.
We loved that everything was interconnected and that we could go from the dining room straight to the bar and then to the dance floor, without having to wait for the chairs and table to be moved.
Winters Barns is a beautiful, intimate wedding venue and I would choose it over and over again.

Fantastic wedding venue- faultless

We had the pleasure of getting married here mid May and we had the most perfect day! We cannot recommend Winters Barns enough. From the first time we viewed the venue we fell in love with it, all members of staff are so friendly and every little detail has been thought about. The layout of the venue is brilliant, giving everyone with different wants a space, plenty of seating outside, tables for dinner in their own room, sofas by the bar which is right next to the evening reception room meaning everything flowed brilliantly without people getting lost in the space.
Through the whole process we were kept up to date and had regular communication. The team answers all my emails and questions promptly and a massive thank you goes to Sophie our wedding coordinator who was absolutely fantastic and faultless! Everything was so organised ahead of the day which was brilliant peace of mind for us. On the day everything ran so smoothly with nothing being too much for the team to do. We had several comments from guests about how brilliant the venue and staff were. They helped set up the space and ensured everything was packed away at the end of the night ready for us to take away from the store room the next day. The accommodation is lovely, as was breakfast the next day (to make perfect it would be nice if a fried breakfast could be served but this may be a caters decision).
We honestly cannot recommend Winters Barns enough!

Winters Barn - An incredible venue & Team

Winters Barns and the team were exceptional from our first time at the venue, to the day after the wedding. Their attention to detail and accommodating nature was second to none, with no request being an issue or problem. A friendly team who work with pride and professionalism.
