Thank you for everything Curds Hall Barn

We feel so lucky to have had our wedding day at Curds Hall Barn. It is such a special space, a complete blank canvas for you to put your own unique stamp on, and I absolutely loved designing the space to our exact taste. Evie was just amazing from the start and throughout. Always there when we had any questions in the lead up, professional throughout and so great on the day. It felt like it all ran super smoothly and I can’t think of a guest that hasn’t mentioned the venue and how lovely it was

Cannot recommend CHB enough.

Ever since we first enquired with CHB we had a great experience. The venue is incredible and exactly what we wanted. The team were so helpful throughout and made the planning process so easy! Evie and the team were always very responsive and the planning meetings were so helpful. The venue allows you to create your own vibe and style which we loved and the suppliers recommended were all fantastic. Cannot recommend CHB enough.

What a venue!

As soon as we stepped through the doors at curds we knew this is where we wanted to get married. The support and reassurance throughout that we received from Eleanor and the team was fantastic. We were able to visit the venue multiple times on the run up to our wedding and if we had any questions that needed answering they were responded to in a timely manner. On the day of our wedding everything ran seamlessly which allowed to enjoy our day. Highly recommend!!

Curds Hall Barn was the perfect venue!

As soon as we visited for an open day we fell in love. Not only with the aesthetic but the caring nature of the staff before we’d even booked. Evie and the rest of the team were fantastic - great communication and attention to detail. They made the whole process seamless and we couldn’t ask anymore of them on our special day. They coordinated & organised with all our suppliers to ensure a smooth and calm wedding day. Thank you again to Evie and CHB team for hosting and all your efforts.

Fantastic venue and amazing staff!

Curds Hall Barn was the first wedding venue we had viewed. Having popped up on a Facebook Ad, we thought why not go and have a look! We’d been engaged for 3 years and had no plans of getting married anytime soon, but as soon as we got to the venue, we fell in love and less than a week later we had booked our big for 2 years time. Fast forward to autumn 2024 our big day arrived! All the staff were amazing on the day, I was very nervous as I waited to walk down the aisle but Evie waited with me and talked me through everything. She even fluffed up my dress just before I began to walk. All the staff have been amazing in our planning process and answered every question no matter how silly. Our day would not have gone as smoothly without their help. We cannot recommend the venue and staff enough. Our guests loved it! Our big day truly was a day to remember.

Response from the venue

Mr and Mrs Clifton, Thank you so much for this beautiful review! It was such an amazing day to be a part of and we're so glad to hear you had a wonderful experience from start to finish. I remember at our first planning meeting you turned up with a folder full of information and from then on I knew you'd be very organised and that definitely paid off on the day! We wish you all the best in the future and please keep in touch! xx

Everything we could have hoped for!!!

Curds Hall Barn was the perfect venue! As soon as we visited for an open day we fell in love. Not only with the aesthetic but the caring nature of the staff before we’d even booked. Evie and the rest of the team were fantastic - great communication and attention to detail. They made the whole process seamless and we couldn’t ask anymore of them on our special day. The venue is beautiful, a great contrast between the bright main barn and darker dining hall - the festoon lights outside make it just as beautiful in the evening. They coordinated & organised with all our suppliers to ensure a smooth and calm wedding day. We truly couldn’t be anymore thankful that we had such a caring team and fantastic venue for our big day. Thank you again to Evie and CHB team for hosting and all your efforts. Mr & Mrs Jackman x

Beautiful venue and a fantastic team.

Beautiful venue and a fantastic team. Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Evie was so organised and we felt completely at ease knowing that she would be coordinating our day. We had so many compliments on how relaxed the wedding day was, and this is a true reflection on the team we had. We used the Old Coach House accommodation which meant we really could extend the celebrations to the whole 3 days. We really can't recommend this venue enough.

100% would recommend!

From the moment we drove up to Curds Hall Barn, we were pretty certain that we would choose this as our wedding venue. Driving away after that first meeting we couldn't stop smiling, and it was a joy to work with Eleanor and the team at CHB, both in the lead up to the big day, and on the day itself! The venue was absolutely beautiful, with the right amount of space so that everyone felt involved at all times, without being crowded.

Curds Hall Barn is absolutely perfect

Myself and my now husband got married on the 15th of June 2024 at Curds Hall Barn and it was honestly the best day of our lives, and one of the main reasons for this was the absolutely incredible venue that is CHB. Eleanor, Annabelle (before she left) and Evie were absolutely brilliant from the start of the wedding process back in 2022 to after the wedding day. They were on hand to answer all of my many and crazy questions, and nothing was too hard for them to sort.

Couldn’t have asked for more!

We literally had the best day!!! It was everything we hoped for and more. We are still on such a high from it all, I haven’t really slept much since hahaha. I honestly can never thank you Eleanor and her team enough for everything they did. Eleanor was utterly amazing the whole way through. 100% the best decision we made to choose Curds Hall for our wedding! All the staff were incredible. Everyone was so complimentary of Eleanor and the whole team. Couldn’t have asked for more!

FAQs

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 sweet treat as part of a canape selection.

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.
