Amazing venue
Such a great find, it was perfect for our wedding and our guests said how beautiful it was! Great space, bar and kitchen facilities and toilets! The only thing we would say is communication could of been improved, our initial viewing was double booked with another couple, when we booked in to view it with suppliers this was not always communicated with the owner and were questioned when we were there infront of our suppliers, also found out on social media that the person we were communicating with would be away the week running up to our wedding! I would like to say, while we were setting up people came to introduce themselves and ask if we needed anything. On the night there was someone around to help with taxis arriving and locking up which was very helpful!
Response from the venue
Thank you so much for your lovely review! To address the negative points regarding communication - we're only a small business and employ staff on a part time basis, however we generally reply to the majority of enquiries within a day or two. For the member of staff being on holiday - all staff employed are due holiday leave, when this is the case we provide another staff member to cover this job. I hope this helps to explain the issues you experienced and thank you again for your feedback.

Great Venue
We had a great experience with a wedding at Barford Park. We were looking for a bit of a blank canvas, that was nicer than a village hall, but didn't come with the expense of a hotel/package deal. Some pros: Spacious - approx 90 sit down guests for lunch, and some more in the evening. There was also plenty of space to host a ceilidh in the evening. Good set up with a built in bar, and a kitchen (although we mainly just used this for prep and drinks storage). Attractive - nice outside area, and attractive on the inside. Plenty of nice places for photos, Flexible - we liked the flexibility to decorate as we wanted, and to choose caterers/bars as we wanted. Having the 4 day hire was also great, and took away the pressure of setting up and packing down on the wedding day itself. Communications could be a bit slow at times, but all our questions were answered. Thanks for the great experience

The most beautiful wedding venue
I really wanted a venue where I could be creative and really put my stamp on it, Barford was perfect! There's so much space to play with and the team are so accommodating and kind. We had two days to set up which made the whole process so much easier! All our guests said how gorgeous the barn and the surrounding area was. If you want a gorgeous barn wedding that you can really make your own this is the venue for you!

Best day ever!
We had the most gorgeous day at Barford Park Barn, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating and part of me wishes we could do it all over again. I recommend this place to everyone I know who is looking for venues!

A Perfect Day
We had the most perfect day we could ever have imagined at Barford Park. From initial enquiries through to communication on the day, we could not fault our experience with the venue. We enjoyed having complete creative freedom to create our dream day, from creating our own decor to choosing any supplier we wanted for the bar, wedding breakfast etc. which we felt was lacking with other nearby venues we enquired with whereby you have to stick to a preferred list. Having two days to set up meant we didn’t have to stress and rush to get everything sorted, plus the day to clear down afterwards was helpful. Overall we had a great day to remember and I would not hesitate to recommend.
