Testimonials

We had our wedding reception at The Barn at Alswick and it was excellent. From the planning to all they did on the day it was brilliant. Ellie was so helpful and really cared about how the day would run. She interacted with all the suppliers (food, band, flowers) to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day. Highly recommend holding an event here.

The Barn at Alswick is such a special place. The venue was great for us as it’s not only gorgeously renovated but also disabled friendly. Ellie was great when we were planning our wedding, always replying to emails quickly and helping our ideas come to life. Ellie, Kay, Claire and the team were superb on the day, so calm and reassuring, we knew we were in safe hands! We loved staying in the glamping pods too – so comfy and the honeymoon suite is stunning. So many of our guests said how much they loved the venue and the chilled day. We can’t thank everyone at The Barn enough, we had the most special day! X

We had the most amazing wedding day! Thank you so much to the whole team. Nothing was too much trouble, the day ran so smoothly. Thank you Ellie for taking such good care of us! Xxx

By Shereen and Mike - March 16th 2019

Thank you so much for making our day so special. We got married on 4th August and could not have been happier with the Barn at Alswick. The whole venue is absolutely stunning – the barn itself is beautiful, the courtyard was perfect for a sunny day, the Snug bar is lovely for people who want some quieter time and the upstairs room for the bridal party is an amazing bonus! We couldn’t have wished for a better venue or team supporting our wedding. Kay, Judy and the team were brilliant from our first visit to the barn, all of our planning meetings and on the day itself. They were always so friendly, professional and eager to help us create our vision for the day and everything felt very personal. All of our guests were so relaxed and commented on how much they loved the venue. Thank you again – it meant so much to be able to get married in such a perfect venue so close to our home.

By Rebecca and Rob - August 4th 2018

We just wanted to say thank you so much to the Barn at Alswick for our wonderful wedding on the 20th October. We loved the barn from our first visit and couldn’t have been happier with how the day went. Kay, Judy and the team were brilliant and made sure everything went to plan from start to finish. The staff on the day were attentive and friendly and the day ran so smoothly.
All our family and friends commented on how lovely the barn and grounds were and there were so many lovely spots for photos. The courtyard was fantastic for our drinks reception and we especially enjoyed making the confetti runway!
Ellie from Rose and Dandy captured the exact decor and style we wanted for the barn and we loved how everything looked from the wedding arch to tables! We also used one of the barn’s recommended caterers – Saffron Catering, who were fantastic throughout the whole process.
We couldn’t recommend the barn enough as a wedding venue, thank you again for helping us create such amazing memories.

By Jennie and Stephen - October 20th 2018

The Barn at Alswick was the first wedding venue my now husband and I went to view, we went up on an open day and fell in love with the venue. The simplicity and elegance of the place is amazing, we had a tour of the grounds from Ellie and fell more in love with it and knew it was the place we wanted to get married.

Kay and her team helped us through every decision and made our wedding smooth and stress free, and they couldn’t have done anymore for us. The staff are excellent and so friendly.

All our guests were amazed by the venue and we have had so many compliments about it. Can’t wait to get our pictures back from our day and be reminded of what a fantastic day we had at the barn.

By Vikki and Mark - April 6th 2019

We had our wedding at Alswick Barn on 30th March and our day was everything we imagined and more. The team are absolutely incredible, so attentive, professional and friendly. Everything ran like clockwork and all of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how well the day was run. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day… we just want to do it all over again! A massive thank you to Ellie and the rest of the team at Alswick for the best day of our lives!!

By Catherine and Jason - March 30th 2019

Our wedding was enjoyed by everyone we’ve spoken to! We had a fantastic time and everything went so smoothly that we felt we could relax and really enjoy our day surrounded by family and friends. Thank you for your organisation, work behind the scenes including with our suppliers, and for being so reliable and flexible. Everyone we’ve come across at Alswick has been so friendly and absolutely lovely to work with. The Barn itself is such a beautiful building and will forever be special to us. It also looked great with all the candles on tables and in the windows! Overall, a massive thank you from us both 🙂

By Sarah and Alex - November 10th 2018

You did such a fantastic job for our big day, we couldn’t dream of a different or better venue for our wedding reception. The venue looked amazing on the day and the staff was amazing, especially Judy she made everything run so smoothly and made everything look so easy. Thank you for accommodating for all our requests and making this day perfect and unforgettable.

By Nina & Ben - August 18th 2018

We had our wonderful wedding at The Barn at Alswick on 14th July 18 and it was everything we hoped for. We chose the venue and booked our wedding before the venue was even finished back in 2016, because we could immediately see the potential. The barn was beautiful and a perfect canvas to create the look we wanted for our day, and would seat our 100+ guests. We also wanted to get married outdoors, so the courtyard was the perfect place and a great area for drinks and canapés provided by their recommended caterers, who did a fantastic job, creating us a bespoke menu that suited our tastes. The gardens were absolutely beautiful for our pictures and created the perfect backdrop to our wonderful hot and sunny day. The staff at the barn were amazing at listening to exactly what we wanted and giving suggestions that would help run our day without a hitch. Big Thanks to Kay and Judy for all of their help in making our day the best day of our lives! Sarah and Gary x

By Sarah and Gary - July 14th 2018

Thank you so much for all of the hard work you all put in to both the setting up and the smooth running of the day. The day would not have gone as smoothly as it did without all your help.
We both had a fanatics day and have so many happy memories. The barn is stunning and is in beautiful grounds that lead to some amazing photos. Thanks again Laura & Jonathan

By Laura and Jonathon - May 19th 2018

We have just had the most fabulous wedding at The Barn at Alswick. Kay and Kerry were an absolute joy to work with and made the whole process enjoyable from start to finish. The Barn is exquisite inside and the day went smoothly. Kay and Kerry went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great time and all of the staff on the day were incredibly professional. The wonderful thing about this venue is that the bar and dance floor are all in the same space meaning that everyone danced and mingled together. There is also a lovely room upstairs where we could finish getting ready in the morning. I couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough and I only wish that we could do it all again! Thank you x

By Yasmin and Chris - December 16th 2017

Firstly what a beautiful venue surrounded by stunning gardens. Kerry & Kay were so lovely & helpful and really made our day a lot easier to organise. Having never planned a wedding before I asked a lot of questions and they were always so fast to reply & guide me in the right direction.
The fact you can choose your caterer is also another added bonus as we could choose the food we wanted rather than had to have.
Can not fault the day (other than the weather) everything was seamless and smooth – what a brilliant team. A HUGE tank you from the bottom of both our hearts.

By Kate and Dave - September 16th 2017

We were looking for a venue where we could have the flexibility to have kind of wedding that we wanted, which was very informal, and have the place to completely to ourselves. The Barn ticked both boxes!
Kay, the Alswick team and their handpicked suppliers made our day the best it could be. Nothing was too much trouble. We were listened to all the way through our planning, being guided at the same time by their extensive event management expertise, whilst still feeling in control of our special day. This made the whole experience stress free and allowed us to really throw ourselves into our day and enjoy it (something that you hear few newlyweds say after the event!).
I would really recommend taking a look at the Barn – you will instantly fall in love with the beautiful setting, lovely, professional team and it is truly a blank canvas that you can make your own for a truly memorable day. So many of our guests have complimented us on the best wedding that they’ve ever attended!

By Kate and Paul - May 20th 2017

From start to finish, Kay and Ellie, the main points of contact for organising and planning, were fantastic with helping us achieve our dream day, always making us feel like we were in good hands. We used the brand new yurt village as accommodation for us and some of our guests – all the yurts were so cute and cosy and the bridal yurt (which is more like a mini house with separate rooms, tasteful furniture and an en suite bathroom) was simply stunning. Many of the guests remarked on how comfortable the beds were, saying they had a great night’s sleep! A lovely continental breakfast was provided too. Kay and Ellie were so good with letting us set up for a few hours on the day before and were fine with me coming to the venue on the day a few hours earlier than originally planned, as well as letting my husband-to-be get on with set up in the morning on the day. As an added bonus, the gardens are stunning and such a great setting for photos. We really wouldn’t have changed a thing about our day and are really happy we picked this venue. Thank you so much Kay, Ellie and Claire!

By Ali and Toby - June 1st 2019

Had our wedding here in Feb 2020. Ellie, Kay, Claire and all of the staff could not do enough for us. They really made sure the day went smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from them. Huge shout out to Ellie in particular who was INCREDIBLE. We had lots of guests travelling from outside Hertfordshire who (when seeing the address) made a few comments about how far it was. When they arrived everyone said, ‘We can see why you picked the venue!’ Everything was perfect. The changeover from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast was so smooth and wasn’t noticeable. The views are beautiful and I cant wait to see the professional photos. Cant recommend this venue enough!!! The catering options were amazing- I recommend the BBQ sharing boards! I recommend visiting an open day if you are considering this venue. This was how we first saw the venue and were very impressed with how welcome the staff made us feel. There isn’t a corporate feel to the place which we found at other venues. The glamping options also impressed us as did the bridal suite. If I could score higher than 5 stars, I would!
