Wedding Barns are a classic choice for brides and grooms to celebrate their marriage, as we have so many beautiful and unique wedding barn venues throughout the UK and in and around Yorkshire - East . With their gorgeous picturesque feel, stone floors and wooden interiors, barns are perfect for couples who want something relaxed yet romantic. They're set in the beautiful countryside, often decorated by delicate fairylights on the oak beams. They usually always come with fantastic photo opportunities both inside the barn and throughout the grounds. Most wedding barn venues allow 'dry hire' where you have complete freedom to choose your own caterers and suppliers.
Barn venues are ideal if you’ve always dreamed of a countryside wedding, as by their nature they tend to be in beautiful rural areas, with fabulous views of rolling fields. As well as lots of peace and quiet, this means plenty of space for your guests to spread out. As some wedding barns are part of working farms, you may find there are even some animals present on your wedding day!
Barn wedding venues come in all sorts of sizes. Some are perfect for intimate weddings and you can hold each part of the day in the same room. Others are much larger so have multiple rooms for each part of the day.
Some couples are surprised to find that barns can cost the same as manor house wedding venues. As rustic wedding venues are increasingly in demand, barns are very popular with UK brides, which means that you’ll have to be a little flexible with your wedding date to save some pennies. Consider marrying on a weekday, or in an off-peak season. Barn venues look just as beautiful in early Spring and late Autumn as they do in Summer, so you can afford to pick a season with less competition.
Classic English garden and vintage wedding themes are ideal for a barn, as the natural textures, stones and woods work perfectly together. However, you shouldn’t feel that you can only have a rustic wedding theme! You can easily throw a glamorous black tie wedding in a barn venue in Yorkshire - East - simply hang chandeliers and add plenty of luxurious floral arrangements and candles to your tables. Festival weddings and more casual, colourful themes are also brilliant in barn venues, as the colours really pop.
Most barn wedding venues have bee renovated to have an efficient heating system in to keep you and your guests warm even in the winter months! As well as central heating, you may also have the option of fire pits or patio heaters for the outdoor spaces. If you’re having a winter barn wedding, then you should be well taken care of, but you may want to provide blankets in case the evening gets chilly!
As some barns in Yorkshire - East are part of farms, they often have restrictions on fireworks to avoid scaring animals. This also applies to sky lanterns and non-natural confetti. If you’re dreaming of fireworks at your barn wedding, we recommend filtering your barn venue search by Fireworks Permitted.
Unlike a hotel or manor house wedding venue, barn wedding venues are less likely to have bedrooms on site. Some barns in Yorkshire - East may have nearby cottages or B&Bs as part of their grounds, but often you’ll have to travel a little further afield for guest accommodation. Consider putting on transport or arranging taxis for your guests, and making a weekend in the country out of it.
