Milling Barn at Bluntswood Hall is an idyllic setting for your wedding celebrations. The venue enjoys an unrivalled location within the beautiful North Hertfordshire countryside, set on a charming family-run farm.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Niamh and the team at milling barn! We had our special day on the 21st of August 2024 and it was the most beautiful and amazing day. We searched endlessly for the perfect venue both very undecided on which one to go with but as soon as we saw milling barn and met the amazing team we knew we found the one! Not only were they very helpful with helping us plan the day but also at making us feel at ease. I’m a huge stress head and Niamh was always there to answer any questions I had no matter how stupid they sounded. The Barn is just a dream and food is absolutely delicious, all our friends and family commented on how impressed they were with everything especially the cake!. We couldn’t of chosen a better venue for our special day.

Milling Barn is an absolute dream venue for wedding photography. The high ceilings, exposed beams, and soft lighting enhance the natural warmth and character of the space, making it perfect for capturing both grand moments and intimate details.

The most beautiful wedding venue! It’s what little girls dream of! We viewed a number of barns but Milling Barn stood out to us for a number of reasons; you get the whole venue to yourselves, all of the available extras, the friendly staff, the scenery and the value for money! From the get go Gemma and the team had great communication and we were contacted constantly throughout the process. The day ran smoothly and there were no hiccups. Gemma was on hand all day to make sure we were happy and the team were super friendly and helpful. They really made us, our guests and our suppliers feel welcome. They even catered for our fully vegan wedding breakfast! A picturesque venue with beautiful energy, romance and fun! Many of our guests stated it was the more idyllic wedding venue they’ve ever been too!
