Most amazing day
We had our wedding reception here and it was just magical. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were all amazing. The barn was set up and decorated to exactly how we expected it and looked out of this world. From booking back in 2021 to the day in August 2023 everything was done with ease, professionalism and kindness. I would redo our wedding day tomorrow and wouldn’t change a thing Thank you Lains Barn

Would definitely recommend
Me and my wife- as of 5 days ago- had our wedding at Lains Barn. Could not rate it highly enough. Staff know exactly what they’re doing and we knew exactly what we needed to provide and when. We looked round the venue multiple times before the day, they were accommodating with any peculiar requests and the day itself ran like clockwork. Really intimate venue too and having everything in one place meant there extra boozing time for everyone. Food was fantastic and plenty of it which is rare at weddings! Highly recommend the pie master as people love to get stuck in and the pizzas later were great too. They made the process very easy, would definitely recommend. We also had great reviews from guests!

Top notch venue
I cannot fault Lains Barn from start to finish. The food was delicious and a decent portion, the venue is enclosed and private which is great for keeping guests all together and the team were very helpful and accomodating. We had our wedding booked in 2021 but had to move it to 2022 due to Covid and they didn't charge us anything extra and even honoured their 2021 prices for food and drink. All in all, a top notch venue with staff to match.

Beautiful Venue
What a beautiful venue we had for our special day. As well as being so practical, there is so much space inside and out to accommodate all weather. Martin has been so kind and generous to us from the start. Rachel has been amazing throughout with communications and arranging our visits to the barn. The whole team at Lains Barn were incredible on our big day, the set up was stunning, the food was delicious and the bar staff were so attentive! Thank you all so much for a wonderful day x

Nothing we could fault
Honestly we had the best day ever, there was nothing I could fault except for the speed the day went by, it was so fast I was so sad to leave. So many of our guests have commented on how lovely the venue was too, I think everybody enjoyed that it felt quite intimate and it was just gorgeous. We were very lucky with the weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

Describe the best wedding that happened at Lains Barn?

Honestly, every wedding is the best wedding to happen. From start to finish we are involved with each and every couple on such a personal level that seeing their wedding day happen is such a special moment for us.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't get caught up too much in what everybody else thinks makes the perfect wedding, make sure your wedding is perfect for you. And let us take care of the rest!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of our favourite things is when couples hang strings of photos along the old wooden troughs in the bar. The photos might be of themselves through the years, and they sometimes include ones of friends and family as well. It creates lovely talking points between those who might not have seen each other for a while, and gives great fun to guests to try and find themselves!
