What an incredible experience
Eleanor and the team were incredible from the day we went round the venue, all the way up to the wedding. They provide so much support, help and put you at ease throughout the day and the build up. The venue is beautiful and you can really make it your own for your special day. Highly recommend.

Can't beat Curds!
Getting married at Curds Hall is absolutely magical! The venue is gorgeous in itself but you can also really add your own mark to make it everything you want it to be. What really sets out the venue though is the wonderful staff that support you through your whole planning journey and the big day. We absolutely couldn't have done it without Eleanor, and quite frankly wouldn't have wanted to - she was fabulous! We can't thank you enough for being the most amazing venue - we'd recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat!

The most Perfect wedding day 😍
The most beautiful venue with the most beautiful venue manager. We fell in love with Curds Hall as soon as we walked in 2 years ago. Eleanor was amazing from that first meeting all the way through to the wedding day. The venue itself is so beautiful all on its own and needs hardly any dressing as it is so nice without anything. The wood shed is absolutely stunning & I could not wait to have our ceremony there. I can not leave a review without mentioning Eleanor, the venue manager. Honestly the nicest lady. From wedding planning, to assisting the groom, childcare lol & making our wedding day run so smoothly, she was absolutely amazing!! Our wedding day was just made so perfect thanks to Eleanor & we are forever grateful for everything. I would recommend Curds Hall to anyone thinking of getting married there, it is honestly breathtaking & I would choose this venue 100x over. Thank you to everyone at curds Hall for the most Perfect wedding day! Love Mr & Mrs Rule xx

The perfect day
The most perfect venue and venue coordinator! From the moment we visited Curds Hall Barn we were blown away and knew it was the venue for us. Having the ability to custom the venue with a wide range of suppliers and access for the day before and after our special day made such a huge difference to make it perfect for us. From booking onwards Annabelle has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She made our day and ensured everything ran smoothly and both brides were kept calm at all times! Thank you so so much for making our dream day come true.

The perfect wedding venue!
We couldn’t have asked for a better team or more beautiful venue! We took a bit of a risk as we booked the venue during lock down so were only able to have a virtual tour. Once we were able to come to see the venue in person we knew we’d made the right choice. It’s so beautiful and versatile so it’s easy to make the wedding your own. Both Eleanor and Annabelle have been so helpful throughout our planning. Nothing has been too much trouble and they always responded to emails quickly. On the weekend of the wedding, Eleanor was amazing! We would not have had such a perfect day without her. She coordinated all the suppliers and was on hand to come up with wet weather alternatives for some of the important parts of the day. We also stayed in the old coach house which was just as gorgeous as the venue and the perfect base for our wedding. I couldn’t recommend the venue and the staff enough.

The most perfect day!
We can’t even start to put into words how much we loved every minute of our wedding day! We knew that the venue was the one for us the second we walked into the beautiful barn. Then meeting and spending time with Annabelle and Eleanor was the icing on top of the cake. You can tell that they have a genuine passion and love for what they do, and this showed through every communication with them through to the immaculate running of our day. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about the venue and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough! Thank you so so much for the most special day, Mr & Mrs Micklethwaite xxx

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

Describe the best wedding that happened at Curds Hall Barn?

We have been very lucky to have seen a huge variety in the weddings that we have hosted so far. From festival vibes with outside dancing to a rustic extravaganza complete with pet sheep and even a country and western inspired day! The best weddings are definitely those where the couples embrace their individual style and passions.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Planning a wedding can be a very difficult time for couples to manage the expectations of others with pressure from many areas. I would always encourage couples to try and focus on achieving the day of THEIR dreams and to try not be swayed by the wants and needs of others.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

My favourite personal touch was when one of my couples decided to take some time out of their drink reception to find a quiet spot to re-read their vows to each other in private. I always advise couples to try and find a couple of little 'time outs' during the day together as the day can go by so quickly and you can find yourselves very busy hosting, with little time for each other. This was such a beautiful way of connecting in the moment on their special day. ...I must say, I did also love watching a room full of guests take a shot of whiskey during a celebrant-led ceremony to toast the happy couple - that definitely got the party started!

Describe Curds Hall Barn in 5 adjectives

Friendly, rustic, scenic, flexible, versatile

Where’s the best photo spot at Curds Hall Barn?

With over 12 acres of parkland and fields and buildings dating from the 17th Century, there are so many options! With unbroken views for miles, the golden evening sun and particularly the Autumn sunsets with a countryside backdrop are simply spectacular - real mantelpiece stuff! My favourite spot is under the mature copper beech tree when it is in full leaf.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Curds Hall Barn?

Not yet...

What’s your favourite canapé?

I love a goats cheese and red onion tartlet!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

I have loved seeing the variety of evening treats that our couples have chosen recently, particularly some of the food truck offerings. Dirty fries always seem to go down well!

What is Curds Hall Barn most unique feature?

The long sweeping driveway definitely builds suspense before revealing the incredible flintwork and red brick walls of the barn but the most unique feature is probably the barn's original Grain Store and Hopper which have been retained in full, providing a point of interest for photographs.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

Our team. Curds Hall Barn is a family run business and even those of us who are not officially related feel like family now! The team work very hard behind the scenes and genuinely enjoy going the extra mile supporting our couples through their planning journey and on the wedding day itself. We appreciate our privileged position as a part of your wedding day, taking great pride in getting to know couples and forging some wonderful friendships along the way.
