We tied the knot at Jenners Barn in August 2024. We were particularly drawn to the venue as it's 'yours for the weekend' and we knew we wanted a wedding weekender not just a reception night. 70% of our guests stayed onsite in the filed in luxury bell tents (from 'Cotswold Bells') and in the lovely glamping camps next door at Great Farm. Some brought their own tents and camper vans. We used in-house caterers 'Feed me Cotswolds' who were absolutely amazing - great food. We had crunchy seasonal salads / slow roasted beef brisket / delicious vegetarian options / and Chris ran a great bar. The service was particularly good and many guests commented positively. Deborah and Leonie were really accommodating and very helpful for us to achieve the event we wanted. We had a live band and performance and were able to put lighting into the barn and lots of decorations. We even had a tree planting ceremony to give something back to the land and its lovely to think our trees will be growing there for years to come. On the Sunday we had buffet style full English breakfast available to our guests to purchase. We even played Rounders in dress up costumes on the Sunday. This venue is magical and we are so happy we chose to get married here.

We cannot thank you engough!!! From the moment of making our first enquiry with Tracey, being shown around and answering our questions, booking our wedding, and throughout our stay it’s been amazing from start to finish... The venue is amazing with stunning views across the rolling Devon hills, the fantastic on site accommodation and what can we say about the purpose built new barn, but wow, this needs to be seen to be beleived!!! We have had so many lovely comments from our family and guest who stayed and joined us for our wedding day, about Country Ways and the whole team. The country ways family and team go way above and beyond to help in every way possible, They seem to maigically make the whole process and day so stress free, How they do it, we are unsure, they make it look so effortless. As a previous reveiwer said, Tracey was like a little fairy god mother, and we could not agree more.... she is amazing and should be so proud of what she and the family have created.. There was not one thing we would change and if we could do it all again, we would ! Thank you so much for making our day so special!! Helen & Jon x

The white barn was magical! Ash (wedding planner) and his team made our day run smoothly, we didn't have to lift a finger or worry about anything. All we had to do was enjoy and create memories! We used the white barn for catering, the food was absolutely lovely, we had so much they boxed it up for us/guest to take home! The venue itself is incredible! The barn is opened planned and so big. We used the upstairs area for the children, so they could chill, play board games. The grounds of the white barn- we got married in the meadow, big open area surrounded by fields, they also have the lake (across the road) we had pictures taken there. It's such a lovely venue. We will be visiting as much as we can to there cafe and grounds.

Wow! Where do I start?! We had the most amazing wedding reception at Old Oak Farm in October 2023. Rebecca, Andy and their team are just the loveliest people. They are friendly, professional, efficient, organised and creative. Communication is absolutely fantastic - I really felt that Rebecca and I were on the same page during the wedding planning process. Rebecca is full of great ideas and suggestions, and her amazing experience in and knowledge of the wedding industry is expansive and so helpful when planning your big day. We actually booked Old Oak Farm as our reception venue before the barn had even been constructed! But we weren't at all nervous about this - we had full confidence in Rebecca and Andy's vision, and oh, what a vision it has become! The lovely, big glass paneled doors let in so much gorgeous natural Somerset light, and offer expansive views across the breathtaking countryside. The barm has lovely, high ceilings which make it feel light and airy, but not echo-y and the building retains a cosy feel at all times of the day. The massive, gorgeous fireplace is a focal point and the perfect canvas for your own decor and creativity to run wild. The dancefloor (which doubles up as the indoor ceremony area) is a great size - it never looked empty during our reception, but at the same time you weren't crammed in. The barn is decorated beautifully in a rustic style. We added a few of our own touches decor wise, but honestly you could host an event in this barn just the way it is and it would look stunning. The bar is another stunning feature of the venue, and is very well stocked! Rebecca even ordered in some pumpkin spiced rum specially to suit the autumnal pumpkin theme of our wedding. Outside, the grounds are beautifully manicured, clean and tidy without being overdone. Plenty of parking for your guests, and a handful of quirky Shepherd's Huts as well which can be rented for the night by guests. I believe that during the summer the venue also allows guests to camp, but I am a little hazy on that detail so it would be worth double checking. There are loads of beautiful spots (both inside and out) that make for gorgeous photographs (and our amazing photographers, James and Kerrie of James and Kerrie Photography took full advantage of these!), including an amazing secret garden that is lit up at night! The front of house staff on the day were all amazing - all turned out very smartly, smiles on their faces and only too happy to help. The food was absolutely top-notch - fresh, local, seasonal and cooked beautifully. We had a few special dietary requirements amongst our guests and these were met and catered for with zero issues. Rebecca and Andy were very flexible about us bringing in a couple of external suppliers, such as ParTee Time Mini Golf, and a DJ, Ben Prescott, to provide entertainment for our guests, and a coach at the end of the night to transport guests back to nearby North Curry and Taunton. I could honestly go on for pages and pages about why this stunning venue is so special and incredible! But I'm just going to round it off by saying that my husband and I and our families were blown away by the beauty of the venue and the service received from the very first enquiry via email, all the way though to the morning after the wedding. You will not regret hosting your wedding here. If you are looking for a rustic, countryside feel to your big day, then please reach out to Rebecca - you will not be disappointed!

We had an amazing time at Hawke Barn venue for our wedding. The rustic setting was perfect, and everything went smoothly. The staff was friendly and made sure all the details were handled. It was exactly the laid-back, cozy atmosphere we were looking for. Highly recommend for a relaxed and beautiful wedding day!

The Stennack Farm team made the 2 years of wedding planning so worth it and we had the most incredible day of our lives. Our wedding was a fusion of Cornish and Welsh guests with 65% of the guest list visiting from the Welsh valleys. So many were excited to see “true Cornwall” and Stennack Farm helped us to provide this to our guests. The venue is light; airy & so spacious for any couples wedding plans to run wild & that’s exactly what we were able to do with Tompkins fest. The accommodation on site was perfect for our Welsh contingency include elderly grandparents and newborns who could enjoy the day and still have an afternoon nap. The back lawn was used for our ceremony and allowed guests and kids to laze out in the evening on the hay bales. The court yard was the ultimate mingling area where we hosted beer pong tournament, rattlers in the sun & able to open the venue doors to hear the music from the dj. The big lawn was ideal for our humungous photo list and the kids enjoyed the playground with the swing set making some great candid pictures. These elements and spaces allowed the guests to not feel to far away from the main building but also allow groups to have their own areas and our guests to have different viewpoints across the day. The venue feels so secluded and private making any big wedding feel intimate. The staff were on hand all day to help the guests and bride and groom with whatever we needed and helping us with suggestions or managing any problems and time delays! Would recommend again and again, mainly to be a guest at our own venue would be quite the fun experience!

My husband and I got married here on 06/07/2024 and we are still not over our most amazing day. This is the PERFECT wedding venue. Ourselves, family and friends were blown away by this stunning venue. The barns, accommodation and gardens are impeccable. The wedding package is exclusive weekend hire from the Thursday on your wedding date. This means for 4 whole days, the venue is all yours to get prepped and ready for your special day. For me, having all my wedding party stay the night before my wedding was something I really aimed for, and this came true thanks to NG. All our guests who stayed in the cottages all complimented the accommodation, it was all spotless clean and the welcome baskets full with eggs, bread, milk & other essentials were a super nice touch! We booked Norton Grounds back in 2022 and since then they are continuing to work on the grounds itself - the new Tipi is absolutely stunning!! Anna from Golden Pineapple Hospitality is honestly the BEST. Nothing was ever too much for her and she is INSANE at her job. From start to finish she was there, at the end of an email or phone call ready to help. The day ran so smoothly all thanks to her. All our guests mentioned what a massive help she was and I can honestly not fault her. Without any doubt whatsoever, my husband and I would 10000% recommend Norton Grounds, we will forever cherish the memories and wonderful experience we had here for our most perfect & dreamy wedding day.

We got married at Valleyside Barn at the end of July 2024. We literally could not be happier with our choice of venue, the barn, outdoor courtyard and grounds are stunning! The owners, Matt and Emma are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. From the moment we booked Valleyside Barn, we knew we were in very capable hands. Emma is super efficient and was always on hand to answer any queries and to provide recommendations all the way from booking up to the day itself. Prior to the wedding (and after) Matt was always around ensuring that the venue was in impeccable condition inside and out. We were blessed with beautiful weather and got married in their outdoor courtyard which is just so pretty, but there is the bonus that they have a few areas where you can get married depending on your preference and weather. We had the added pressures of getting married and planning a wedding with a small baby and two dogs. Emma and Matt went above and beyond to make everything as easy as possible. Emma ensured the honeymoon suite was ready for us all and even provided a travel cot, highchair, bouncer, activity mat, baby bath and dog bowls! Also, at the end of the evening some of our guests and children also couldn’t get a taxi at the end of the night so Matt did several trips to their accommodation to make sure they all got back safe! We literally couldn’t have asked for more. On the day itself, everything went so smoothly thanks to Emma and Matt. They made the whole day flow seamlessly, such as moving from the ceremony area to the main barn and setting up for the evening - it wasn’t even noticeable. The only downside we have is that it’s now over but we are planning on returning to stay in their glamping safari tents!

Where do we start?! Having our wedding reception at Westbarn Lodge was THE best decision we made. The lodge was ideal and spacious for both of our big extended families all of whom had a comfortable stay and a fantastic wedding weekend. It had everything we needed and more, so our families travelling from abroad did not have to worry about bringing too much with them - especially those with little ones. Barney and Pippa were easy going from the start and were super helpful throughout the year. Always on hand for our million questions. We were able to make some wonderful memories with our families the weekend of our wedding thanks to Westbarn Lodge. The venue speaks for itself with its stunning views, and unique special touches throughout the entire barn and lodge. It really made our English countryside wedding special! All of our family, guests and vendors were absolutely blown away by Westbarn Lodge and couldn't stop complimenting the venue and its surrounding views! It been almost two months on and they still can't stop talking about Westbarn Lodge!

A warm family environment, super friendly and (do anything attitude)!! I can’t recommend enough, the Carnie family are brilliant to work with and it’s amazing what you can do with the space. It made our day and our 250 guests were just as pleased.
