Got married at the barn yesterday. We had an amazing day. Everyone at the barn was so helpful and caring. They could not have done any more for us. Absolutely beautiful venue, amazing owners/staff, the perfect hosts.

Toby and I cannot thank you enough. I wish we could just get married here every year! We were in love with the venue from the moment we first set eyes on it. Nothing was ever too much trouble for you. You checked in with us the whole way. We feel like we’ve made a friend in you. We are so so thankful that we got to have our special day with you. From helping with the set up to standing out in the pouring rain at midnight getting pizza for our guests, you were flawless!! We’ve had so many c

Wedding Review
I had my wedding reception here in June. The wedding was quite last minute and only booked in the late February. Kirsty was brilliant from the very first email I sent her enquiring. She followed this right through until after the event. She went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. From helping us organise and putting us in touch with various companies, chatting to guests and making them feel welcome, taking photos of the night (which she sent to us the following day) to going rou

"...the most beautiful venue I’ve had the pleasure of being in..."
We had our wedding here on 16.09.23 and it’s the most beautiful venue I’ve had the pleasure of being in. From start to finish, Kirsty and her team made everything so smooth and easy! Kirsty was there to answer questions from the minute you booked to the minute you walked down the aisle. She was fantastic. The day before the ceremony we were able to go and set up the venue however we wanted, Kirsty and her team (Gabi & Jess) we’re making final preparations while we were there and we felt almost like a little family. The day of the wedding, Kirsty could not have been more helpful. She held my dress so it didn’t get stuck on anything, took lots of photos for us and was silently in the background making sure everything went as smooth as possible. I can’t thank Kirsty and the team at Farthingloe Barn enough for such an incredible day and I would highly highly recommend this venue to get married. Truly worth every penny. Love, a very happy Bride x
