Best venue

It can seem daunting when you have to organise suppliers and not have them included but don’t let that put you off the night yard. It’s 100% worth the price and it is beautiful. Everyone at our wedding complimented us on how amazing it was and we did barely any decorations.

Perfect venue for our day

The Night Yard was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very start of our journey, Kerry and Pip were on hand to create a personal experience. We really enjoyed the group wine tasting to meet other couples and share ideas. The organisation was flawless and we couldn’t reccomend them enough. Thank you for allowing us to have the most perfect day and start to our married life.

What a gorgeous venue for my daughter and son-in-laws wedding, a beautiful country wedding, with countless photo opportunities. The staff and the caterers were brilliant and so accommodating.

Absolutely beautiful venue and amazing staff

The Night Yard is an incredibly beautiful venue and we are so happy we found it for our wedding! The staff are so friendly and put in a lot of time and effort to make the wedding day as perfect as it can possibly be. We got married at the Night Yard during the pandemic so it was a very difficult time to organise a wedding for everyone however the Night Yard staff were very understanding and did all they could to keep the day as special as it could be under the guidelines. I would definitely recommend the Night Yard to anyone looking for a beautiful relaxed charming wedding venue! Thank you to everyone for all their work!

As soon as we stepped into the venue on our first

They say a bride just knows and it feels right when she finds the dress, well we got this feeling with our Venue! As soon as we stepped into the venue on our first viewing we knew it was for us, our kids instantly ran off to explore leaving us feeling confident this was the perfect venue for our relaxed child filled wedding. I love how the venue can be dressed completely to suit your style, but then is beautiful and rustic as it is. The planning journey was well organised and reassuring as Courtney and the rest of the team had it all in hand. You don’t feel like just another booking, it was always nice to catch up. Thank you, especially Courtney you helped bring our vision to life, we just want to relive it again and again!

The most incredible place!

When we discovered The Night Yard online we had a feeling it was going to be something very special. From visiting, we fell in love with it.

The Night Yard offers the most amazing space and even with quite a lot of rain on the day on the day every contingency was thought of by the team!

Courtney, Nancy and all of The Night Yard team were hugely supportive throughout our planning process and had an incredible list of contacts who could facilitate every aspect of what we wanted to pull together.

It was clear - whether it be correspondence via email, conversations on the phone or as a face-to-face meeting - that the team knew what we were after. Their help and advice throughout was second-to-none.

Our wedding was the most incredible day and so many people commented on how wonderful The Night Yard was as a venue.

The Night Yard really really is a hugely special venue.

Now, just to figure out how we can do it all over again!

Staff were fanatic and on the day

We had our wedding on the 2nd August it was everything a more we could have wanted. Staff were fanatic and on the day they were there to support if needed. Courtney was a massive help and keep communication with us at all times. We had a very laid back chilled day which is just what we wanted. Every guest commented on how amazing the venue was and the kids all could play safe why the parents relaxed at the bar as its all enclosed.

Amazing Wedding

Words can't describe how incredible this venue and the team are. From the moment we booked in 2016 right up until yesterday, The Night Yard has been amazing. We were super confident in their abilities and the team helped up plan and pull of an amazing Wedding, helping us with things we'd not even considered, and working with all our suppliers to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day. So many of our guests commented on how lovely the venue was and the team proved how right we were to book here.

Shout specifically to Julia, Nancy, and Courtney, and also to Brendan the bar manager, your help and support has been incredible.

I was so sad to say good bye when it was all over, and I'm currently mulling over what other events we can put on just so we can go back.

I'd recommend this venue to anyone and particularly if you are looking at having some DIY elements, you can truly put your own mark on this place.

Thank you so much team!!

This is a most sincere Thank You

This is a most sincere Thank You for hosting such a perfect day for us. Our wedding was absolutely perfect...The Night Yard as our chosen venue was complimented by every guest as the most beautiful and relaxed environment for such an occasion which we agree wholeheartedly.

Ed and I appreciated Courtney's help so much. Courtney...you were outstanding and went above and beyond...looking after our chorus singing dog when he threatened to drown out the ceremony...distracting the children whilst we were decorating...adjusting the climate control to accommodate our guest's needs...everything you did was appreciated so very much.

Our wedding was the happiest day we have had, and The Night Yard made it happen.

So again...Thank you. We thoroughly recommend you all for anyone wanting to hire a venue as the perfect choice.

With appreciation

Amazing!

AMAZING!! The staff and venue are just fantastic. I had the best wedding day I could have wished for and its thank to this amazing team. Courtney is so helpful, nothing is too much trouble for her. She completely takes all the stress out of the day. All our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was even in the rain. Would highly recommend.

Thank You!

I just wanted to thank Courtney and everyone at The Night Yard for helping to make the wedding of my daughter Francesca to Rob on 21 July such a wonderful occasion. It was a magical day. Would you be good enough to pass on my thanks to all of your partners (eg DJ/MC, caterers, bar) who contributed to the day.

There are not enough words to descried my feeling

When we first booked the night Yard in 2016, we were the first booking for 2018 at the time so we had a long wait! We finally got married on 14th July 2018 and there aren’t enough words to describe my feelings about the day or the venue, it was just incredible.

Courtney is so on the ball and helped us through the build up, asking all the right questions, things that we had no idea about! And on the day she was there making sure everything was on time and prompting us when needed.

Brendan (the bar manager) is also a top guy and was so accommodating to what we needed and wanted, he knows his stuff. A great addition to the night Yard.

We might have an anniversary party here just to be able to come back!

Absolutely loved everything about it!

We fell in Love with the night yard the first time

We fell in Love with the night yard the first time we saw it, it was a bright spring day and as we walked around I was already planning our Wedding day!
The night yard was the first and last venue we looked at, we were sold!
From the initial viewing to the day itself the staff at the Night yard were a pleasure to work alongside, they were so professional and accommodating and couldn’t do enough to help bring our vision to life.
We already had a good idea of what we wanted but the expertise and experience that the staff brought to the day was invaluable and the recommended suppliers that the Night yard promote are all first class.
We were made to feel empowered with every decision we had to make as opposed to stifled and the balance of support they offer is just spot on.
The day itself came around so very quickly and again the staff were great, the whole journey was so smooth and expertly planned that there was no doubt in our minds that our wedding day would be anything other than magical.
Each and every one of our guests were swooning over the venue and having such a big family with lots of children for us, the needs of the children were paramount, the venue is as such that the children are safe in a huge outdoor space and the options for entertaining them were endless. I would like to thank each and every member of staff who helped make our day the best day of our lives, we have memories to treasure and possibly a 40th party to plan at the Night Yard once I’ve talked my husband round!

Flawless venue

On 20th July, the night yard held our greatest day.
The venue was perfect for what we wanted; a laid back, fun, chilled but massively enjoyable wedding.
So many of our guests commented on how much they loved the venue.
We would like to thank Courtney and Nancy who were fantastic. Every base covered and always there when needed, so chilled but on it at all times.
Brendan and his team on the bar are worth their weight in gold. We had a lot of guests who enjoy a tipple but never a wait, outstanding service.
If you are considering The Night Yard DO IT!!!!
