In one word - faultless.

We had our wedding at The Oak Barn a few weeks ago, but right from day 1 we had a great feeling about the place. Tim/Deana clearly take a lot of pride in the venue they've created. They are enthusiastic, super responsive and helpful and have supported us with the million questions that have come their way. Not to mention, the dreaded moving of our wedding date when the virus got in the way.

The venue is gorgeous, surroundings tranquil, and exactly the peaceful (pre-party!) wedding that we wanted. Many of our guests also commented on how lovely the venue was. Tim & manager Matt seamlessly took care of multiple things on the day/evening without us even realising. The Cottages on site were perfect for our immediate family and friends and they made for such a comfy stay on the night of the wedding.

We whole-heartedly recommend this venue to anyone considering them. DO IT! You won't be disappointed!

Amazing, thank you Jenn and Sam. It has been a complete joy to see you both at the farm during the planning stages and we really appreciate your patience amid the turmoil of 2020. We loved your asian lanterns, beautiful autumn flowers, ceremony readings by friends and of course, the brake dancing spectacular to Adil's tunes! What a happy and fun day it was. Thank you for your kind words about the venue; we are delighted it provided the perfect setting and was much enjoyed by you and your friends and family. We all wish you every happiness for the future. Tim and Deana.
