From our very first viewing, it was ‘The One’!

We visited The Warren Estate as our very first wedding venue when they had an open day in Summer 2022. From walking in, it was almost as though it was magic - we had that feeling straight away (my husband got emotional from the get-go!). The whole journey, from booking our date to our wedding day, was painless & straight forwards! The team made us feel at ease & almost like part of the family! Meriel & Georgia are credits to the team, Darren was always there to reassure us (even giving that extra vote of confidence just before I went down the aisle!) & just gave us so much confidence in them as a whole! The food was amazing (we still get compliments about it from our guests!) & they catered brilliantly for various allergies & intolerances too. We were so pleased we chose this as our venue, everyone loved it just as much as we do! The team helped to set up the day, helped to pack up at the end of the night & throughout the day, they were so professional, helpful & just seemed like they loved the whole Wedding atmosphere, which was great!

-Apologies for not remembering the other members of staff working that day, they were all brilliant! We’re so very grateful!

Beautiful venue and amazing staff!

We had the perfect wedding here and would definitely recommend it! Darren, Georgia and the whole team were so helpful, professional and so lovely to deal with, very accommodating and quick to respond to queries. The planning meetings with Georgia really put our minds at ease and took the stress out of it. Nothing was too much trouble, last minute changes were implemented effortlessly without a fuss and everything went so smoothly on the day. The food was amazing and many people commented on how great it was, how beautiful the venue was and how lovely the staff were.
I stayed the night before in the beautiful house with my bridesmaids and loved having everyone together and the grounds are absolutely stunning. Having some accommodation after the wedding and also a delicious breakfast the morning after with some of our guests was so lovely to to extend the celebrations. The whole team went over and above to make our day so special and memorable and we so appreciate it. Thanks again to the whole team, can’t recommend them enough!

October 2024 Wedding

Superb Wedding very well organised, super friendly staff and being an absolute control freak I really had to trust that the wedding planners would deliver and they absolutely did they are so lovely! The venue is stunning and we had a beautiful sunny day so was able to have our outdoor wedding under the pergola. The food is incredible all guests were raving about it and it comes out piping hot and good portion sizes unlike some venues ive been to. The rooms are lovely and the Wayside house is also well worth booking. Our day ran so smoothly and they couldnt do enough for you with anything i asked. Overal fantastic venue and the best day ever!

Perfect wedding venue

We recently got married at The Warren Estate and it is the most stunning venue! The Barn itself is absolutely beautiful and the huge grounds are just amazing for photos. The staff there are so wonderful, Georgia was our coordinator and she is absolutely fabulous! Anything that we wanted to have at our wedding, she made it happen; nothing was too much trouble and the time, work and effort that she and the team put into our day was so amazing. We had a few planning meetings with her before the day and she was so organised and helped make the wedding planning stress free, she has a lovely calming energy which is just what we needed! We couldn’t be happier that we chose The Warren Estate as our wedding venue.

The best decision of our lives

We cannot thank the team at The Warren Estate any more if we tried!

From the moment we viewed the venue in January 2022 we were sold on the team! When we arrived we were greeted by Darren, Jo & Meriel who were nothing but welcoming and charming towards us. Josh and I hit it off with them straight away!

As we walked around the grounds with Darren, he gave us back stories to the venue and our hearts and minds lit up to the possibilities. We booked our wedding the same day we booked our venue! It all happened so fast but it was because of the time and patience we were given throughout our experience!

From day 1, we had someone to talk to if needed and we had a helping hand with every step. Our main point of call in the end was Georgia, Merial and Darren and all three couldn't have been more helpful. Suggesting vendors and showing us what had been done here previously, you name it!

Not at any single point did we feel we were too much and by the time our wedding day we were genuinely saddened by the fact we wouldn't be visiting The Warren or the team on a regular basis any more!

Our wedding day itself was a complete delight! We were able to get into our rooms from 10am (as no wedding the previous day) and bridal party were able to stay in the Retreat to get ready. All belongings were gathered by staff and moved to rooms as a helping hand. Georgia and Meriel visited us in the morning to give us a run down and then Darren came to pick me up in his black cab to take me to my groom! I cannot say enough how amazing it all was!

The entire venue was clean, well kept and stocked with duvets/pillow etc. that were needed. All the beds were made and set up and we couldn't fault a thing! The hot tub was in working order (though we didn't use it due to rain). But everything was spectacular. The even staff were also perfect and cannot be faulted! A guest broke my dress (accidentally) and they took the time to pin me back in and make sure everything was ok throughout the day and night. I promise you there were nothing but smiles from these guys and girls! Genuinely happy to be in the line of work they are and it shows!

I have recommended The Warren Estate and team to everyone I have come across since - whether they're planning weddings or not - honestly the vibes that you get from this team us unreal and you'll never find another place more positive and upbeat! Time and time again we have thanked Darren and team and we will continue to do so when we visit them on our yearly anniversary trips!

100% recommend The Warren Estate, not only for staffing and location, but for affordability too! it is and always will be a 5 out of 5 from both Josh and I!

Thank you again, to all of you from making our day as wonderful as it was. We will never forget you or our day!

All the best wishes in the world,
The New, Mr & Mrs Foord

Fantastic venue and staff!!

Just had our wedding here and it was the most perfect day thanks to the lovely grounds and amazing staff here!
The option of either an inside or outside ceremony is great and the wayside house is beautiful to stay in the night before the wedding…the hot tub was a great relaxing touch!
They are all so wonderful, welcoming and accommodating people from the co-ordinators to the waiting/bar staff. They kept me calm, made me laugh and helped out massively with my disabled sister; from chopping her food up and helping her get to the aisle avoiding the stairs.
Everything just ran so smoothly and we never ran out of tequila rose! (We were able to request extra)
Just nothing was too much trouble for the team.
It was great value for money also, there are lots more venues of a similar standard in the area which we viewed but were double the price!
Everybody said the venue was stunning, commented on how friendly and lovely the team were and said how they had such a brilliant time! Would 10000% recommend getting married here!

Amazing, Stunning , Flawless 💕

On Saturday the 2nd of July my daughter married her soul mate at the Warren Estate. To say this day was Beautiful, flawless ,breath taking, perfect just doesn’t even begin to describe the day. Darren , April and the whole team at the Warren took care of everything down to the finest detail. We stayed the whole weekend with our family letting us take in the the whole momentous occasion.

Perfect team and Perfect Venue!

Thank you to all of the staff at The Rose Barn, The Warren Estate. We had the most perfect wedding day and all of our guests remarked how lovely the venue was. Food was excellent and you were able to cater for all the various preferences and food allergies. Me and my husband would like to extend a sincere THANK YOU to Kerrie. Nothing was too much trouble and she made us feel relaxed and reassured that we were in professional hands.
