Perfect venue for our perfect day!

My husband and I had our blessing at Hazel Gap on July 21st, 2024, and we could not have asked for it be any more perfect. From planning the wedding overseas in the US, to the feast night in March, to set up on the day-of, to the actual ceremony/meal/party itself, Hazel Gap made it so easy. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful- I did all the signage/decor on my own, but with the help of our florist and the HG team, everything was set up on the day wonderfully. The food was amazing as we knew it would be after attending the feast night. The venue itself is just stunning on its own and looks exactly like the photos in real life. All of our guests left telling us it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Thank you Hazel Gap, you were so good to us!

The Perfect Venue

We had the most amazing wedding day at Hazel Gap Barn; Chris and Channon were a dream. The day ran seamlessly, with staff working diligently in the background, yet always immediately on hand when needed. I cannot thank Channon enough for her compassion and understanding with regards to my dad's serious health conditions. Honestly, Channon's awareness of the situation meant the world to me. Chris equally went above and beyond in the evening.

The whole day ran incredibly smoothly and we honestly had the most perfect day. We loved every minute of it. The venue looked gorgeous, the food was delicious, the staff were attentive, happy, discreet and genuinely couldn't have done enough for us and our guests. There isn't a single thing I would change about the day and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Hazel Gap Barn as the perfect wedding venue.

Wow wow wow

Its 4 weeks today since our incredible wedding at Hazel Gap Barn, I wish we could re live the day and do it all over again!
As soon as we went to look round the venue, we knew this was where we wanted to get married, we had only been to look at one other venue, Hazel Gap won hands down and we booked our wedding there and then.
The venue is absolutly stunning, everything about it is perfect, the ceremony/disco barn is out of this world beautiful, the courtyard and gardens provide so much space for guests and meant that everyone isnt crammed into one area.
We didnt go to town on decorating the venue as it just doesnt need any dressing up.
We can not praise the staff enough either, the whole process from booking to the big day was so easy, and nothing was too much trouble, even the very last minute changes! They worked so hard on the day, it couldnt have ran any smoother.
The food was amazing, we have had so many of our guests comment on how nice the meal was, one commenting it was the best chicken he had ever had!
We have also had many of our friends/family tell us that it was one of the best, if not the best wedding they have been to.
Another positive I want to mention is that the morning after the wedding, I received an email to tell me that they had processed a refund for the unopened wine and the deposit paid, this was on its way to my bank.
To say myself and my Husband were a little tipsy is an understatement, we would never have known what had been drank and what hadnt. I found this really honest of the staff/team and imagine you wouldnt get this service at some venues!
Hazel Gap in our opinion is the venue to have your wedding at, we are so glad we chose here.
Im really hoping that someone we know gets married there in the near future so we can go back!
Lots of love and thank you for everything, Mr & Mrs Clark 🤍🤍

What a venue!

To all the team at Hazel Gap, particularly Channon and Chris, we just wanted to say the biggest thank you for Saturday! We had the most amazing day of our lives and a massive part of that was down to the venue and how amazing all of you guys were. People haven’t stopped commenting on how stunning the venue was, how delicious the food was and how helpful the staff were. We were amazed at how everything just fell into place, and how you coordinated our suppliers etc - a hugely professional venue. The small extra touches didn’t go unnoticed either - like ordering a drink at the bar and then being dragged onto the dance floor before it came, only for one of the bar staff to bring the drink to the dance floor for me. I’m sure we will be back at a feast night in the future to celebrate, as we can’t imagine never seeing the venue again! Emma & Ashlen xx

Exceptional from start to finish

Hazel Gap have just been exceptional from start to finish - the venue, the food, the staff were all just phenomenal.

The communication throughout the booking and planning process was second to none making the whole journey so smooth.

Special thanks to Jodie and Chris who made our day run so perfectly alongside their amazing team.

The venue itself is beyond beautiful and our day could not have been more perfect.

We and our guests had the absolute best day with many of our guests saying it was the best venue and wedding they’ve ever been to!

We could not recommend Hazel Gap enough! Wishing we could do it all over again!

Best Day Ever!

Initially thought HG would be too big for us, but knew it was the one when I stepped into the ceremony hall on a lookaround - the team have looked after us so well - very responsive to messages ahead of the day, and were available to us all day on the big day!
It's a beautiful venue, and the food is amazing. HG clearly know what they're doing, everything was slick and professional, we couldn't have asked for a smoother day. We were a little unconventional in that we wanted to walk down the aisle together after a first look, HG were very accommodating and made it work without spoiling the surprise!
HG will hold a very special place in our hearts, we couldn't thank them enough for helping to create the most special day with us! Xx

Breathtaking, flawless and magical

A perfect venue for the perfect day. Breathtaking venue with incredible food and friendly staff. Made the whole experience stress free. The online portal system made correspondence so easy with the friendly and approachable staff.
Our guests were just as blown away with the day as we were.
The evening was just as spectacular with the outdoor fire pits, our guests felt it was magical driving up to the venue all lit up.
On the day, everything was seamless due to the attentiveness of the venue.
Couldn’t have wished for a better day.
Would 100% reccomended this venue to anyone!

Amazing service from the start

When we viewed Hazel Gap Barn we instantly fell in love and knew it was the venue for us. The service was exceptional from the very beginning and Chris and Alix guided us all the way from the planning phase all the way until the end of our wedding day. Without the amazing staff at Hazel Gap Barn our wedding would have been a lot more stressful but their professionalism throughout the process meant we were calm and could enjoy our day - Chris and Alix literally took care of every detail. Thank you so much to everyone at Hazel Gap Barn for giving us our perfect day!!

Incredible

From the moment we stepped into Hazel Gap Barn for the very first time we knew the venue was for us and we have not looked back since. We have just had the most incredible wedding day there and we cannot thank the staff at Hazel Gap enough. As soon as I pulled up at the venue I was put at ease, nothing was too much trouble and I really felt like every single staff member at Hazel Gap ensured that we had the best day ever. The planning process was so smooth, the communication was great and I can honestly say nothing was a stress! The grounds were beautiful, the venue was super clean and the food was fantastic! Thankyou so much Hazel Gap 🤍

The Perfect Wedding Day!

We got married at Hazel Gap on 27th May 2023.

We are based in Leicestershire and struggled to find a venue that was exactly what we were looking for within our area. After looking further afield and coming across Hazel Gap online, we knew that we had found 'the one', which was only confirmed upon viewing the venue.

Everything went absolutely perfect on our wedding day, from the food to the weather - we couldn't possibly have wished for more.
The staff at Hazel Gap are amazing and so well organised. Alix and Amanda were brilliant on the day and helped to make sure that everything ran smoothly (as well as keeping us both calm pre-ceremony!)

Our family and friends have not stopped talking about how gorgeous the venue is and how incredible the food was on the day!

We can't thank Hazel Gap enough for making our wedding day so incredibly special, we will treasure the day for the rest of our lives.

Thank you so much to everyone at Hazel Gap, you guys really are the best!

Perfection

Wow, this venue truly is stunning. Every inch of its surroundings and the barn itself is just absolutely breath taking. I was so proud to have my wedding is such a stunning setting. Not only that, every single member of staff we spoke too through the planning process was exceptional, a true credit to themselves - friendly, helpful, professional- the list could go on! No question was too much trouble, they were attentive and held high standards which they ensure are met on your wedding day. I found out after my wedding the lengths the staff went to for my guests - as an example one of the waitresses got some of our canapés cooked -
'Well done' for a pregnant guest.

No words can ever thank Hazel Gap Barn enough, what an absolute privilege to have my day amongst a beautiful setting and outstanding staff. I would recommend entirely!

Wedding 11.04.23

We were absolutely overjoyed with our experience at Hazel Gap Barn from the planning process to the actual day itself. The staff were incredible, attentive and made everything run smoothly. Jodie was a joy to work with and really made our day. Thank you to all of the team! We are sad it’s over.

If you’re looking to book here I can’t recommend highly enough - great value for money and absolutely stunning. Our guests all commented on the high quality of the food, beautiful setting and smooth running.

5+ star ❤️

I am so glad we chose Hazel Gap Barn for our venue. I used to drive past it when on courses for work and always loved the look! Finally when we visited we knew we had to book!
It is the most gorgeous venue, set in the most beautiful place. Our day was perfect! The staff have been there throughout the process and have answered questions quickly and helped when guidance was needed.
On the day of wedding the staff were so friendly, warm, welcoming and couldn’t do enough for myself, my husband and our family and friends.
The food was outstanding! So gorgeous!
All of our guests commented on how beautiful the place was and how the food was the best they had tasted at a wedding.

I would definitely recommend Hazel Gap Barn to anyone looking to get married.

Thank you so much to the team there for making our day perfect 🎄🎅🏽❤️

The perfect venue

We had some 'unusual' requests for our wrestling-themed wedding, but nothing was too much trouble for the fantastic staff who helped to make our day absolutely unforgettable. From the very first meeting to dropping off guests after the evening do at 1am, we couldn't have asked for more. Not to mention the incredible food!
