Description

Couples are invited to tie the knot in the 300-year old Rickety Barn, a lovingly restored traditional timber barn with solid oak beams and wrought iron chandeliers. With twinkling fairy lights, it’s the perfect space to say ‘I do’. Seating up to 150 guests, it also features a ‘nook’ on the second floor, the ideal spot for a photographer or musician. In the warmer months, couples can also choose to tie the knot in the outdoor ceremony area, The Thatched Bower. After the ceremony has taken place, invite your guests to enjoy reception drinks in the modern Moat Barn with its sophisticated bar, spilling out on to the pretty landscaped gardens to mingle amongst the peacocks. The Bridge Barn is the setting for your wedding breakfast at Bassmead Manor Barns. Modern and flooded with natural daylight, spectacular features include a dramatic timbered ceiling and impressive oak doors offering views across the gardens and moat. A delicate, neutral colour scheme gives you the opportunity to create your own style on a blank canvas, while its elegant simplicity needs little other than some beautiful floral arrangements. The on-site catering and events team will work with you to create delicious food for your wedding day. Menus are expertly prepared and beautifully presented, giving you and your guests a spectacular dining experience. Every element of the day is bespoke and tailored to your needs, from the more formal wedding breakfast, to theatrical street food, barbecues, canapés and cocktails. As the sun goes down, it’s time to dance the night away, perhaps even enjoying the patio outside and wandering in to the starlit gardens. You won't want your day to end so, with that in mind, newlyweds can spend the night in Dove Cottage – your very own honeymoon cottage. For your closest friends and family, Appletree Cottage features seven beautifully designed bedrooms. Enjoy a breakfast together the following morning to share stories of a wonderful day.

The most magical wedding venue
We got married at Bassmead Manor Barns last week and it was an absolutely perfect day. We cannot speak highly enough of Bassmead. The venue is stunning, rustic, warm, cosy, and so pretty with all the fairy lights. It is the perfect place to get married and have your reception all in one place. The Rickety Barn is beautiful and as soon as we saw it on a show-round we knew that was the place we wanted to get married. But Bassmead would not be the same without the staff - Annette, our co-ordinator, we cannot ever thank you enough. You have been an absolute pleasure to have planned our wedding with, from giving us advice, helping us with suppliers, keeping us organised and on track and helping us think of things we would never have thought of ourselves. On the day you were the one to ensure everything ran smoothly, from the minute me, my mum and bridesmaids arrived to get ready until the end of the night. You are an amazing person and helped keep our wedding day stress free and running smoothly. We are so grateful that you were our co-ordinator and you played a huge part in our day. Everything at Bassmead was incredible - the food, the staff and the venue itself including Dove cottage and Appletree Cottage so that our family could stay the night and have a delicious breakfast the next day. We didn't want to leave the morning after our wedding and Bassmead will have a very special place in our hearts for the rest of our lives.

The most beautiful venue
Bassmead is an absolutely stunning venue. When I first visited two years ago I immediately fell in love and knew I had to get married there. The food and drink were delicious and the staff were super attentive. Zak did a fantastic job coordinating our day and everything ran very smoothly. We were able to sit back and enjoy our day knowing that everything was taken care of, for this I will be forever grateful. We had such an amazing day and could not recommend Bassmead enough!

Perfect wedding
We had the perfect wedding here. The staff were always so helpful and quick at responding before the big day and on the day our wedding coordinator, Leah, ensured the day ran smoothly and went to plan. The food was delicious and was presented very well. The venue is beautiful and so peaceful. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for somewhere to get married, from the moment we saw it we both wanted to get married there and we're so pleased we made that decision. I wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else.

Don't sweat the small things. Everything you are worrying about being perfect you won't think about on the day because you will be too busy having the best time ever!
