The Perfect Venue for your Special Day!

This was the first venue we visited in person and knew from the moment we walked in the door, walked through the grounds and spoke with the team (Sophie) - this is where we want to get married.

The pre planning process, the correspondence, the queries, the multiple visits - nothing was too much trouble and everything was addressed promptly and in a detailed manner (if it was easier to explain something over the phone rather than email, thats exactly what they would do).

The venue was perfect for guests to explore and roam (& children) but can be contained in a safe surrounding.

On the day, I think it was summed up perfectly by our videographer "the team are fantastic here, and if anything does go wrong on the day you wont even notice - they are so professional". We can contest to this - it was perfect!

Thank you Sophie and the Team

The BEST day ever, beyond belief

Right from the first appointment we knew the venue was gorgeous and it was the one for us! Since booking the staff were always so helpful over emails for any queries whilst I was planning! On the big day we had Lizzie look after us, she is truly the best at what she does!!
I was so set on having an outdoor ceremony but due to weather it had to be inside, however I wasn’t disappointed! It was beautiful inside especially with the fresh new hops (September wedding). Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t have had a better day. We used all the accommodation on site too which was great, clean and comfortable!

The food was exactly what we wanted with our 3 course meal and evening food, all delivered with amazing service.
We couldn’t praise or recommend this venue enough!

Best day EVER

Blown away with how amazing winters Barn were. Not only on the day of our wedding but the build up to it! The day ran so smoothly all my guests commented with how amazing the whole day ran. Nothing was a problem, no question was a silly question. Lizzie who coordinated the whole day, there are just no words with how patient and accommodating she was/is.

The Prefect Venue

What can I say other than this venue absolutely made our wedding. From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the one. Not only is is absolutely beautiful and the perfect cozy venue, but the staff are an absolute delight to work with. We had the pleasure of working with Sophie, John and Rachel and from start to finish, they were the most helpful, kind and supportive team either of us have ever worked with. Nothing was too much trouble and we wouldn't have changed a single thing about our day. Thank you so much WB team! If we could give you a million stars, we would!

Perfect Winter Wedding

Winters Barns was the perfect venue for our winter wedding on the 29th December 2023. We cannot fault the venue in anything; they were attentive, communicated well (with my 100 questions!) and really made us feel like we were the only couple to have ever got married there. The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning and were perfect for our professional photos. We would like to thank Winters Barns for an amazing wedding day.

Beautiful Barn

We had our wedding at the beautiful Winters Barns and it was a perfect day. So magical and the staff were so attentive and lovely.
They knew every single thing they needed to happen and listened to our needs throughout the planning process.
Sally was our Co-ordinator and she was just so lovely and lively and made me feel so comfortable.

Thank you so so much to all at the winters barns team for being so incredible! We are so thankful and will always cherish the special day you helped us have xx

Better than perfect!

We had our wedding at winters barns in early march and we had the best wedding! There are so many photo opportunities at winters barns to choose from which are all stunning- interior and exterior. All the organising was easy for us as it was done in house by the wedding coordinator- in our case, it was Lizzie. Lizzie was absolutely brilliant with all aspects of our wedding and so organised and professional. The ceremony itself was perfect and was all ready to go very early for me to see over before the actual ceremony. The Bridal salon offered everything the bridal party needed, as did the pump room. The cottage was perfect, so clean and so tidy. As was all of the rooms in the farm house and the hop picking hut. Jon the barman was so kind and polite and really was a superb character, he also helped make the evening so memorable. there was not a single thing I found a fault with and our wedding day went so perfectly and smooth because of the beautiful surroundings and organised co-ordination from Lizzie, Jon and the rest of the team at winters barns. Absolute perfection, Thankyou so much for Making our day so special!

Winters Barns was the perfect setting for our wedding.
We had the most amazing day and could not recommend it highly enough.
Lizzie was absolutely amazing and made the whole process so easy for us.
Everyone was there to help but they were not intrusive at all.
All our guests were blown away by the service and the food - everyone has made great memories.
We have some amazing photos from the grounds and it was so easy having everything all in one place - from getting ready to staying overnight.
Even the set up and taking down was done for us so we didn't have to think about anything - we could just enjoy it all.
I could not have wished for a better venue and they exceeded our expectations by far!

The perfect day

For a venue as busy as Winters Barns, they truly made us feel like the only people getting married, remembering the small details and providing invaluable advice throughout planning and coordination. Getting excited with us during the planning, liaising with our vendors and giving us helpful prompts as we got closer to the day. We never once struggled to get in contact with the venue or get a clear answer on our questions… and there was a few!
On our final meeting where we ran through all the little details, we were met with suggestions and solid guidance which left us feeling confident our dream day was going to come to life as we imagined.
Sally is a SUPERSTAR and our day was run to perfection thanks to her. She pays attention to detail and run us on time to the minute, but she also had lots of fun with it. Popping in to check on us all getting ready always with a big smile and some sound advice and a little time check! Sally put us both as ease as we knew if there was an issue she would resolve it.
Our day at the venue was perfect, from getting ready and building up to the ceremony, it was faultless. The call button in the getting ready spaces is brilliant, this saved the men who were all struggling with their pocket squares and needed super Sally to come and save them!
The accommodation was beautiful and the perfect way to extend the celebrations a bit longer with a recovery breakfast with our families the next morning.
We honestly had the perfect day, as did our guests and have received endless compliments on the venue; the service and everything in between. If we were to relive the day we would not change a single thing.
Thank you so much to the winters barns team and Sally, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Incredible from start to finish!

Winters Barns is an incredible venue. It has a beautiful rustic charm, from the exposed beams in the bar, wedding breakfast and dance floor areas, to the dried hops hanging from the ceiling. The courtyard is stunning and was well used by our guests well into the evening. The pond with the bridge makes for beautiful pictures and was a huge selling point for us.
The staff were truly amazing. I cannot fault them. They’re incredibly warm and friendly and really do make you feel special. They never once gave the impression they do this every day, rather that yours is the most important day in the world!
We absolutely loved our day - it was truly unforgettable, largely thanks to the brilliant team at Winters Barns.

Winters Barns

A truly stunning venue! We cannot thank Winters Barns enough for making our day so incredibly special. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and professional, nothing is too much to ask of them and they ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. We were able to fully enjoy our day knowing everything was being dealt with behind the scenes.
The venue and its grounds are beautiful, the perfect setting for some stunning wedding pictures! The facilities at this venue are amazing from the garden, the barn itself, the salon and pump room to get ready in the morning of the wedding. The accommodation is beautiful and so incredibly clean!
If you’re looking for a barn wedding, I cannot recommend Winters Barns enough! You will not be disappointed! Thank you once again!
