- KKeely & Tom15/12/2021Relaxed countryside bliss!Relaxed countryside bliss!I would not hesitate to recommend The Haybarn to any couple looking for their perfect countryside venue!! Throughout our day we had guest after guest compliment our venue, it’s uniqueness, setting, relaxed vibe and how much it suited “us” as a couple. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better day! Communication with Becca & Emma was brilliant throughout, any query answered and more so them gently nudging us on things we had forgotten about. Pandemic wedding has stressful to say the least but The Haybarn we’re so supportive and understanding and simply couldn’t do enough for us. No amount of thanks will express how incredible our day was and how grateful we are to The Haybarn for hosting it.I would not hesitate to recommend The Haybarn to any couple looking for their perfect countryside venue!!

- EEllen & Tom24/08/2019We couldn't have been happier...We couldn't have been happier...We chose The Haybarn as our wedding venue and couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. Emma & Becca & the team were incredibly helpful, accommodating and well-organised from start to finish. They answered any questions we had quickly & thoroughly & helped with the organisation of the day. They met with us & our suppliers several times to ensure we were happy with the plans. The whole team were incredibly friendly & ensured our guests had a fab time. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. So many of our guests said they were blown away by how beautiful it was. The small details arranged by the team at The Haybarn such as the lamps outside and the fire-pit made it even more special. They had thought of every detail! The accommodation was a huge bonus and I would thoroughly recommend making a weekend of it with guests and family as it is such a beautiful place. We would absolutely recommend The Haybarn to anyone as a wedding venue- we agreed that, even with all money in the world, we'd still choose The Haybarn for our Wedding Day!We chose The Haybarn as our wedding venue and couldn't have been happier with the whole experience.
