Barns and Yard
A venue we happened to find on a google search during COVID.
I fell in love straight away just looking at the photos, made contact with the venue to have a look around. Lisi and Kate were incredible from the offset, letting us explore the venue on our own. Walking through the building explaining what to expect on the day.
We were won over straight away booking our date straight away. Right from this point it was all so smooth with regular emails to check how our planning was coming along.
Lisi, Kate and Nicky have a fantastic family touch of making you feel part of the team. They sent Christmas cards at Christmas, sympathy cards for when my Dad sadly passed. All of these small touches that meant everything.
Moving on to the BIG day. It could not have gone any better you have full access to the venue from 1pm the Friday before meaning you can set up and have all delivers brought to you in more than enough time.
Myself and the bridesmaids stayed in the cottages the night before with the self catering plenty of room we were really able to sit and relax having those last giggles and memories together.
Saturday swiftly came all systems go! Hair and make up were doing their thing, we have fizz on the go and everything was great. Nerves started to kick in but all of the tribe kept me going!
2pm was looming we started to get excited seeing the guest through the window they all looked incredible. I could not wait to be part of the celebrations!
2pm was here it was time to walk down everything was perfect finally me and Nathan could see each other. Walking down to 'somewhere over the rainbow' was perfect. Tears of happiness and joy were everything. Before we knew the ceremony was coming to an end. I wanted to pause the room and take it all in.
Moving on to the confetti, drinks and nibbles every single person saying how incredible the venue was how pretty every touch was. Space for people to spread, space for people to explore and space for the children to be children and be safe.
Next up was our meal, Barns and Yard recommending Sticky Fig, They did not disappoint the burgers was outstanding and everybody tucking in to every bit of food.
Every moment of our day was effortless, down to the incredible team at Barns and Yard picking up the bits that you do not think about, ensuring the music in playing on time. Making sure the guest were all happy and ok!
The day of our dreams was coming to an end, of course we didn't want it all to stop but the team were ready to ensure everyone got back ok and safe. We had loaded fries and cake waiting for us in our room which was amazing!
Finally it was as though the magic elves had come and cleaned up the barns putting all of our decorations safety to one side ensuring everything was kept in great condition. We had until 12.30 to leave the following Sunday morning meaning more than enough time to enjoy breakfast, and reminisce over the day before.
We could not thank Lisi, Kate, Nicky and the team enough for our day. We would love to do it all again in a flash!
Thank you
Nathan and Emily Williams
