Beautiful venue - couldn't recommend it enough

Camlad Barns is such a beautiful, rustic venue. Alex and John were brilliant from beginning to end - so relaxed, helpful and kind. The venue is absolutely beautiful and charming and perfect for our wedding. We put a marquee on the side to increase the capacity which worked really well. Thank you to Alex and John for having us - we loved every second.

Spectacular

It meant the absolute world to me to get married in my home town, and Camlad Barns made all my dreams come true! It’s such a beautiful venue and some of that beauty is down to the fact that it’s DIY so you can literally taylor it to fit whatever vibe you want! From arriving on the Friday, to leaving on the Sunday it was an absolute dream from start to finish. The hosts, Alex and Jono, were so accommodating and nothing was too much. Their passion for this barn is so clear to see and I hope they realise how amazing they are. The bar is really well stocked, and the kitchen is a great size for suppliers to come in and use. We had a pizza van in the evening and there was plenty of outside space for it to park up.
Nothing beats the views though. We went off the the corn field that was next door and got some great photos which really embraced the rustic vibe. Our photographer loved all the different textures around the farm that look amazing in our photos. Honestly, I cannot recommend this place enough!!

Words cannot describe how incredible Alex and Jonathan are at Camlad barns!

Well...what can I say! Camlad Barns is just THE most beautiful wedding venue for any type of wedding. We had a sudden change in circumstances back in March where it was decided we were to get married and do the legal ceremony with just immediate family. Alex and Jonathan were so accommodating they helped us arrange a small intimate ceremony and drinks for just 15 of us! The place looked beautiful even on a Monday afternoon in March!

We then held our main wedding celebration and vow renewal in July. The planning and preparation phases were so easy with Alex on hand to ask anything and let us do anything we had the ideas for...even setting up Tipi's and camping in the field opposite! It really is the most relaxed wedding venue where nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is lovely for both staying the night before and night of, the lawn and the view are spectacular, and main barn itself is done to such a high quality and courtyard and fire pit in the evening was brilliant. We can't wait for another reason to hold a celebration there!

Beautiful Barns

We had our wedding day at Camlad Barns on the 24th June 2023 and we had the most amazing day!

Alex and Johnathan were really helpful on the lead up the wedding, answering our many many questions! Camlad barns are stunning and the different areas make it a wonderful space for a wedding.

We hired two big hat tipis from Java tipis to go on the grass area for our wedding breakfast which looked incredible and 'went' with the barn wedding style perfectly! We had 112 sat inside the barns for the ceremony which fit really comfortably and then used the barns for dancing later on. We used the wainhouse as a chill-out area, with a photo booth and for cake cutting/ cheese later on.

The relaxed atmosphere created by Alex and Jonathan at the barns drew us to them straight away as we wanted something quite DIY, rustic and laid-back. The roses and the gardens in the cottage are stunning and made for beautiful photos as well as the beautiful views. We also hired the cottage which has been renovated and provided the perfect base to get ready and for little ones to get early nights.

Camlad barns will always be very special to us and we wouldn't have chosen anywhere else. Thank you, thank you! Heather and Ben xxx

Fantastic venue

Camlad barns is such a beautiful setting to get married. Alex and john are so helpful and professional; from guiding us with ideas in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. The views are stunning and the whole feel of the place was just what we wanted - laid back, easy going, not too strict or rigid - it was also the prefect backdrop for my husbands vintage tractors too!

Rustic but beautiful setting where you can really make your wedding your own!

Alex and her husband were so helpful, always at the end of the phone to answer any questions or queries we had. We loved the laid-back feel of the place, which really mirrored our personalities and created a calm and relaxed atmosphere, for not only us but our guests. Highly recommend if you want a beautiful setting but want to take the reigns, and make it personal to you both.

The most fantastic wedding venue

It is difficult to put into words how truly wonderful this wedding venue is. We feel so very lucky to have found it, hidden in the most beautiful part of Shropshire. The views are unreal and the setting on the family farm is truly stunning.
Alex and Jon are exactly what you want and need when planning a wedding. Calm and relaxed but thorough and thoughtful, where nothing is too much to ask. They went above and beyond for us and we cannot thank them enough.
We were fortunate enough to have multiple trips to visit Camlad Barns, as well as not only a wedding but returned 18 months later for a wedding party. We can thank Covid for this and actually, for us, it turned out perfectly! We got to experience an intimate (15 people) wedding as well as a 100+ guest party. I can hand on heart say that this venue was perfect for both occasions! We were fortunate enough to have great weather for both but I imagine even in the rain, you couldn't hide those views! Almost every guest commented upon the setting and how absolutely fabulous it is!
If you are looking for a rustic, rural wedding venue in Shropshire, then you absolutely do not need to look any further. This is your place! You will have the most magical wedding.
Thank you again to Alex and Jon. We hope to come and visit you again soon. We feel much more sad after this wedding, knowing we are not returning again!!!!

We're always here, pop in next time you're in Shropshire. We want to see how big the little man is!

Gorgeous Views

Camlad Barns was the perfect venue for our reception. Alex and Jon were so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process answering all of our questions and even helping me out with setting up the day before.

The day itself was amazing. It's a gorgeous venue with beautiful views and tons of outdoor space which the kids loved.

Thank you again Alex and Jon for such a great day

Absolutely brilliant!

I wish I could give Alex and Jon more than 5 stars. From setting up on the Friday to the Sunday they were beyond helpful nothing was to much trouble.
No words can describe how amazing this venue is. The Views are outstanding and the barns are beautiful.
All I say can is if your thinking about getting married here go for it! We couldn’t imagine a better day.

Simply brilliant…

I honestly cannot put into words how brilliant it was celebrating our wedding at Camlad barns.

Firstly, Alex and Jon were the perfect hosts and made it very easy and stress free to arrange everything. Their communication was spot on, which was especially helpful given the fact that we originally booked our wedding for 2020 and had to postpone multiple times.

Unlike some other venues we visited, we loved how flexible they were with the suppliers we used and the way we ran the day. This meant we could arrange the day exactly how we wanted it.

Alex, Jon and their team were the perfect mixture of friendly yet professional. Throughout the day they worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything was running smoothly.

The facilities at Camlad were great - which meant our caterers and the rest of our suppliers were very happy and had no issues.

Finally, but most importantly, the venue is simply stunning - especially the views. This made the experience very memorable for all who attended.

Thank you very much, it was a fabulous day. We were so pleased that you could eventually get married. I think all your guests were thrilled too. Do drop by when you're passing by. All the best, Alex and her wonderful team xx
