Describe the best wedding that happened at Barnabrow Country House?
Each Wedding is so unique we could not pick one! While I don’t have a specific wedding to reference, I can share what often makes a wedding truly memorable! The best weddings typically feature a beautiful blend of personal touches, heartfelt vows, and a joyful atmosphere. Couples who incorporate their unique stories, such as meaningful traditions or favourite songs, create a special experience for themselves and their guests.
And of course, when everyone—friends, family, and the couple—comes together to celebrate love, laughter, and happiness, that’s what makes a wedding unforgettable!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
My No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples is to communicate openly and often! Make sure to discuss your vision, priorities, and budget together. This will help you both stay on the same page and make the planning process more enjoyable. Remember, it’s about celebrating your love, so keep the focus on what truly matters to you both!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
A popular personal touch at weddings that many couples appreciate is incorporating family heirlooms into the ceremony or reception. This could include using a family member's wedding dress, displaying photographs of past weddings, or incorporating traditional family recipes into the menu. These elements often add sentimental value and create a deeper connection to family history during the celebration.

What’s your favourite canapé?
I don’t have personal tastes, I love them all but Duck Liver Parfait en Croute with Fresh Raspberry is a sophisticated choice. The rich, creamy texture of the parfait paired with the sweetness of the raspberry creates a wonderful balance of flavours. It’s definitely a standout canapé that would impress guests!
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
If I had to pick, I’d say mini pizza would be a crowd-pleaser. It’s fun, easy to eat. Plus, who doesn’t love pizza? That said, bacon butties and cocktail sausages also have their charm, especially for those late-night cravings! Wedding cake is a classic sweet treat that everyone loves, too.
What is Barnabrow Country House most unique feature?
Our most unique feature sounds like it could be its charming, intimate setting that allows for a private experience with the added delight of animals! Pygmy goats and donkeys. This combination creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for couples looking to celebrate their love in a cosy and memorable way. Whether it’s the presence of friendly animals or a beautiful natural landscape, these elements can make the wedding experience truly special and unique.
