Thankyou again you really have been amazing!”

“Where do I even begin?! The Great Barn itself is such a magnificent building, so beautiful and is the most perfect wedding venue. My husband and I knew as soon as we walked in that it would be our venue. Briony and her team were impeccable through the whole planning process. They made planning our wedding stress-free! Elliott and I cannot thank you enough for providing us with the perfect wedding day!”

Mr & Mrs C – 2nd April 2016

“We held our Wedding here in May 2016 and it truly was the best day of our lives, held at the BEST venue. From the moment we stepped foot in the barn back in November 2014 we knew that it would create the perfect backdrop to our special day. Throughout the whole planning process Briony was there to offer her help and advice whenever needed. The day before the Wedding we had access to the barn to set up, and again Briony was there to help with those bits that we (I) had forgotten! On the day, everything ran so smoothly under Briony's supervision, and we cannot thank her enough for everything.... even ensuring that a couple of our guests made it home safely that evening!”
