- DDominic Fussell26/04/2024the day itself was magical.the day itself was magical.We had the pleasure of hosting our son and daughter in laws wedding at The Stables on 25th November 2023. From the initial meeting, through the planning stage to the day itself, the owners were a fantastic support and the day itself was magical. The barn looked beautiful during the day but came to life in the evening and we could not have asked for more, the rain on the day only added to the special atmosphere. I cannot recommend The Stables enough and I would like to thank everyone ...We had the pleasure of hosting our son and daughter in laws wedding at The Stables on 25th November 2023.

The space is incredible (lots of beautiful photo options) and I was almost disappointed to not take advantage of the wet weather option.

- HHamish Reeves26/04/2024We cannot recommend the Stables enough!!!!!We cannot recommend the Stables enough!!!!!We are so so glad that we chose to have our wedding at the Stables of Somersby!!! Louise especially was incredible as she helped us prepare for our special day. They gave us the most incredible list of vendors to recommend (not too many that it's overwhelming, and not too few that you have no choices), and were more than happy when we wanted to use our own flower company. If you have vendors in mind, that works, if you don't then they will help you have the most incredible day...We are so so glad that we chose to have our wedding at the Stables of Somersby!!!
