Best day ever!
We are so grateful to the Monkton Barn team for making our wedding day extra special. They helped us to fully customise our day exactly to our requirements and we couldn’t be happier with how things went. From the magical ceremony in the enchanted woodland, to the dinner in the main marquee, to the party and games on the lawn, the whole venue is stunning and our guests were wowed by the scenery. The food was fantastic, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating. We are so lucky to have discovered this hidden gem and would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much to all the team <3

We were overwhelmed by the professionalism...
From the moment we met Peter, until the last person had left...we were overwhelmed by the professionalism, dedication and inspiration of Zara leading the team, with amazing support from Owen. Josh and Rob only added depth to our wondrous day. The setting was stunning. The food equally so. Children being wheeled about in a wheelbarrow as the sun set, and then a full moon, finished off a perfect day. We are eternally grateful.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Monkton Barn Estate?

A civil ceremony in the barn, then to the meadow for a village-fete styled reception with garden games, canapés and a saxophonist. This was followed by an Italian-themed marquee wedding breakfast. In the evening, a total of 140 guests returned to the meadow for a full-on festival themed party, including a big top marquee and staging for not just one, but 4 bands who performed over the course of the night! The event finished with fabulous fireworks, with many guests camping/glamping (including a hearty breakfast the following morning)! It was a truly brilliant and fun event to be part of.
