Wedding venue of dreams!!
Fell in love with The Barnyard on our first viewing and knew it was 'The One'. We especially loved that the venue is dog friendly as having our Cocker Spaniel with us on our wedding was a non-negotiable. We were shown around by the lovely Kirsty and she remained with us every step of the way from first viewing all the way up to and including our wedding day, a touch that was really very special. Getting ready in the beautiful bridal dressing room was lovely, it is gorgeous! Our twilight wedding in the Apple Barn was honestly magical and we can't thank the team at The Barnyard enough.

Simply WOW. Such a beautiful and incredible venue. We had the apple barn for our ceremony and the marquee for the breakfast and reception and both was just truly amazing, the bridal party had the dressing room for the morning and nothing was ever to much for anyone and all the staff up there was just incredible never rushed anyone to do anything always helped out where needed and always went above and beyond to help everyone. A special thanks to Grace as well who was there throughout the day running around between bride and groom always with a smile on her face and just being truly amazing. I can honestly say it was worth every single penny we paid and if anyone wants to get married in a beautiful venue where its as stress free as a wedding can be then I would strongly recommend using the barnyard it was amazing. Thank you so much for everything you did for us.

The most magical day of our lives
We had our twilight wedding at the barnyard and we couldn’t have asked for anymore. It was beyond perfect. The staff were all amazing and nothing was too much trouble. The venue was out of this world and everyone said how beautiful it was. Even if we had a million pound to spend we would have still chosen the barnyard. We can’t recommend this place enough and thank you just doesn’t cut it but….. thank you for everything.

Best day, best team, best venue... BEST BEST BEST!
Got married 13.10.2023. The BarnYard were fantastic from start to finish! We got caught in a few failing businesses falling out of the pandemic and turned to them when we clutching at straws. Naturally we allowed them to show us around, which led to us falling in love with this beautiful, rustic venue. They completely understood our concerns after being pulled left right and center from other bad suppliers and venues and communication was fantastic right from the off and all the way through! The service on the day was absolutely impeccable! The staff truly went above and beyond to help us achieve our dream, from extensive planning and making very helpful suggestions to aid us during planning, helping me surprise my groom to be...all the way to helping us locate lost items on time, personally co ordinate between music over PA systems and our live pianist during the ceremony.... and even helping me walk in my dress 🤣 I truly wish we could do the whole thing again and would definitely recommend this venue and this team to anyone, any day of the week! It's a shame a review is the only way we can truly show our appreciation for this team❤️

Just perfect evening everything we wanted and more
We chose a twilight wedding as we wanted a relaxed wedding with a party feel. The evening was perfect the preparation before was so easy the team were very helpful and on the day were so helpful. The venue is beautiful the food was 10/10! The dj supplied had everyone up dancing! The barnyard provided us transportation home included in the price and we would highly recommend the company they offered different cars so we could take other guests home which was great.

Beautiful venue
I can’t fault the barn yard. The staff was fantastic on my wedding day. The actually venue itself is beautiful. The food was a massive hit with my family. My husband who is very fussy agreed with the choice of venue.
