Best day of our lives at the most amazing venue!

Amy, Vicky and Laura were absolutely amazing throughout the whole process of my wedding, the planning, the lead up and the day itself. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were always very quick to respond to any queries we had.
The staff at The White Hart are amazing and made me feel very calm and comfortable while getting ready for our big day in the amazing bridal getting ready room, which was one of the highlights of the day as there is so much space for everyone with make-up artists and hair stylists etc meaning there was zero stress.
The food was great all round, we had a meal the night before, the wedding breakfast...

The food was great all round, we had a meal the night before, the wedding breakfast and breakfast the day after were all just amazing, cannot fault anything with it.
Honestly the best day of our lives, so glad we choose this venue to get married, we would highly recommend to all!!

Our perfect wedding day - Oct 26th 2024

From the moment we booked our wedding at The White Hart, Laura was nothing short of exceptional. She not only helped us arrange every detail but also provided us with fantastic recommendations for photographers, entertainment, transport options, and venue decorators. Her communication was always swift and thorough, and she answered every question we had, making the entire process seamless from start to finish.

On the wedding day, our heartfelt thanks go to the wedding coordinators, Vicky and Amy who ensured everything ran smoothly and took the time to review every minute final detail with us a week before the big day.

On the wedding day, our heartfelt thanks go to the wedding coordinators, Vicky and Amy who ensured everything ran smoothly and took the time to review every minute final detail with us a week before the big day. They managed every aspect of the day from start to finish, making sure everything was perfect. They both, along with their staff assisted guests with check-ins and helped (early - considering a late finish) with breakfast the following morning—going above and beyond in every way.

Thank you also to Luke and Bradley, for their incredible support. Luke, in particular, made my wife feel like the most important person on the planet. His care and attention was extraordinary, making my wife feel like she was the only bride to have ever gotten married at The White Hart. For also, calming me on my walk up to the venue, thank you. The personal touch he added to the day for us both made it truly unforgettable.

I’d also like to offer a special thank you to Vicky, who provided me with much-needed emotional support on the morning of the wedding. She was there to reassure me, address my concerns, and help calm my nerves—exactly what I needed before greeting guests, sat anxiously waiting for my arrival followed by my Niamh's arrival.

As someone who was feeling a little anxious leading up to the day, I couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals. With them running everything, we were in great hands. Our wedding day ran exactly how we envisioned it, and it was nothing short of perfect! From the management to the chefs and waitstaff, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and it was the most magical day of our lives.

A huge thank you to the entire team for making our day not only flawless but incredibly special. We truly couldn’t have asked for more & we will regularly visit for a the extraordinary food and drink on offer.

All our love & support,

Ryan & Niamh X

Not enough words to describe how amazing this venue is!!!

We just had our wedding day at The White Hart and all I can say is EXCEPTIONAL! from the day we booked Laura was always on hand to help us and answer any questions we had about our day or the venue. So attentive she even worked late to help us secure a new DJ after issues with our original one. She went above and beyond through the whole planning process. She is a calming influence and incredibly organised and professional which is just what you need when planning a wedding. OUTSTANDING SERVICE! Additionally the front of house staff on the day were all incredible and made everything run seamlessly throughout the day and late into the night. Vicky...

We can’t thank you enough for making it even more perfect than either of us could have imagined. You are all superhero’s and I’m so impressed that even the tiniest of details and planning were followed exactly as I had asked. I can’t thank you all enough. If you are planning to get married and want the confidence of knowing your venue and it’s staff have your back and will make your day exactly how you picture it then look no further than The White Hart! Best venue ever! ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing from planning to finish ✨

Our wedding was brought together with the expertise of Abbi, Laura & the whole white Hart team. The day ran so smoothly and everything was on point like clockwork! They helped answering any questions we had and went the extra mile when needed. If we could we would get married here all over again-fab venue and value for money!

The Best Venue

The Barn at the White Hart is amazing, a beautiful setting and welcoming environment. The process was easy and they were patient with me and my many questions. The meetings were eye opening for details we had never even thought about, but so worth it!

The wedding itself was more than we could have ever dreamed of, everything ran so smoothly! This meant that we could enjoy ourselves and not worry about anything, the team had everything we needed and were so accommodating.

Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed themselves and all were amazed by the food, it was as good as it always is.

We cannot thank everyone at the White Hart enough!

Dreamy, Relaxed Day for Two Brides

There wasn't a moment during our planning with the White Hart, or the day itself where we didn't feel cared for. Originally, we chose to view it as thank to its website we knew it welcomed LGBT couples. From our first meeting. we were made welcome and everything was done to make sure neither one of us were sacrificing just because there were two brides!
The barn was perfect and the suggested DJ is phenomenal and great at reading a room. Even though it rained, there was no impact on the day. The staff were flexible, attentive and (most importantly as two ex-service workers!) everyone seemed to really like being there. We had complex dietary requirements with some guests...

The barn was perfect and the suggested DJ is phenomenal and great at reading a room. Even though it rained, there was no impact on the day. The staff were flexible, attentive and (most importantly as two ex-service workers!) everyone seemed to really like being there. We had complex dietary requirements with some guests and these were addressed brilliantly, with these guests getting personalised menus. There were also perfect vegetarian and vegan options. The guests in question went out of their way to thank us for their lovely menu, and none of them were treated any differently.

The biggest thank you to Laura and Abby for planning and managing the day. You were fantastic. An extra shout out to Josephine, who was a delight the whole time we were there and was the friendliest face as I walked over to meet the registrars.

Beautiful venue

I could not recommend the White Hart more as a venue.
Laura and her team were professional and attentive throughout the entire wedding planning process, and will be as involved as you want or need them to be. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

The venue itself is beautiful, in a peaceful country setting, we loved it from our first visit. The mezzanine floor was something I'd never seen before at a venue, and I really felt it added something different and alternative to the venue, plus meant that if the weather took a turn for the worse, (which we were lucky to avoid on our day!) you or your guests won't get wet moving...

The bridal preparation suite is also beautiful and spacious enough for all you need in the morning, plus a view out over the front of the Inn where you can see your guests arriving!

Our guests have all commented on how lovely the venue is, as well as the gorgeous accommodation and amazing food. We are looking forward to returning for dinner or even to stay in one of the beautiful rooms.

We highly recommend the White Hart, the service is second to none, and the Wedding package prices are really competitive, we didn't have a huge budget but still managed to afford all we needed and wanted.
