We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Maidens Barn, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we first visited, we knew this was the perfect place for our special day. The venue is absolutely stunning, with its charming barn setting creating the perfect atmosphere for a rustic yet elegant wedding. A huge shoutout to Sam, Alex, and Elliot, who were truly incredible throughout the entire process. Their attentiveness and dedication made all the difference, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Whether it was helping us with the smallest details or ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day, they went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality. The venue itself is beautifully maintained, with so many wonderful spaces for the ceremony, reception and personal photos. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful everything looked, and the entire experience felt so intimate and personal.The honeymoon cottage is absolutely incredible. It's a shame you can't stay there longer and it would be really handy to have air conditioning in the rooms and the prep room as well! If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines breathtaking scenery with exceptional service, look no further than Maidens Barn. We couldn't have asked for a better place to start our married life together! Ryan and Tereza

The most beautiful and special day which was everything we wished for and more! From our initial viewing of the venue back in July 2023 to the big day in June 2024 we honestly could not fault the staff at Maidens Barn. Sam, Natalia, Elliot, Mercedes & Alex were always on hand for anything we needed, super helpful for any questions we had and just the nicest people! Sam & Natalia made us feel super relaxed on the day and we just knew everything was in hand and the day was going to run smoothly. Shout out to Elliot also who ran the busy bar in the evening & was our transport round to the honeymoon cottage as newlyweds, it was such a nice little touch! We knew instantly this was the venue we wanted to get married at. The venue itself and it's surrounding grounds are absolutely stunning and took our breath away every time we came to visit. It was also a massive bonus that the venue is dog friendly so we could have our fur baby Freddie there with us during the ceremony and drinks reception. It meant the world to us that we could have him there as part of our special day! We honestly cannot recommend Maidens Barn enough! Thank you to the entire team for making our day so amazing! BEST DAY EVER!! Georgia & Simon xx 09.06.2024

We knew from our first viewing we wanted to have our special day at Maidens barn. From that day Mercedes and the team have been nothing but excellent, friendly and always on hand to answer questions and help us. Our wedding went so smoothly, and that is all down to Mercades, Elliot and the rest of the lovely team. We didn't have to worry about a single thing the team had thought of everything and had everything in hand! We have received endless comments from our guests about how beautiful the barn looked, how delicious the food was and how kind all the staff are. We had the wedding of our dreams, we cannot thank everyone at the barn enough! Lots of love Summer and Mitchell

We got married at Maidens Barn on the 31st August 2024 and we are so glad that we chose this incredible venue to host our wedding. The team at Maidens Barn are nothing short of incredible and helped to make sure our day ran perfectly so that we could truly have the most magical experience possible. The team were so helpful from our very first interaction and following our booking were so responsive with every question that we had - which was quite a few! The day was simply everything that we dreamed of and more and all of our guests could not praise the venue and the staff more highly ... fantastic food, fantastic service (especially on the drink top ups!!) - no task was too much for the team. Would highly recommend booking your wedding here if you are looking for the perfect countryside barn venue to host your wedding !
