Everything was beyond what we could have imagined.
My husband and I had our wedding at the The Barn on Saturday and it was the most perfect day. Everything was beyond what we could have imagined.
The food was delicious and there was plenty to go round.
Chloe and her team worked tirelessly with smiles on their faces to keep the day on track.
The splendour of the venue took our breath away, we couldn't have been happier. We had endless compliments from our guests who enjoyed the day as much as we did.
A huge thankyou to everyone involved.

It was an absolutely amazing day
We got married in The Barn at the end of May and it was an absolutely amazing day. Old Down were incredibly helpful and accommodating of all our needs and requests.
They worked with all of our vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day, and worked with us to create a bespoke Afternoon Tea menu and even agreed to do Colombian food during our cocktail hour to celebrate my wife's culture.
For us, The Barn was the perfect venue for what we wanted, and Joey was exceptional to work with.

Our family and friends raved about the location
We got married on the 14 of May at this beautiful venue with a gorgeous ceremony in the walled garden and wedding breakfast/dancing in the barn. All our family and friends raved about the location, particularly in relation to getting to see the animals and even buy some plants! The barn is beautiful and the walled garden even more lovely, particularly on the sunny day we had. Our wedding coordinator Joey was wonderful and made our day exactly what we wanted, we couldn't have asked for more.

We even got some unique pictures with a snake!
We had our wedding here on Friday in the walled garden, it changed a lot from our original plans (thanks covid) but the team were so helpful in finding us options and making our much smaller and more intimate wedding even more perfect than I could have imagined! All our guests had nothing but positive things to say about the day, the food was amazing, and they even brought us out a snake to have some extra special and unique wedding photos+
We also have the Barn booked for our reception party.

The team at Old Down were just amazing
We had our wedding at The Barn on the 24th Aug and I have to say, Lucy and the team at Old Down were just amazing. She made everything really easy and was very accommodating. Nothing we asked was too much trouble. On the day, everything went exactly as we wanted it to and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. All of our guests said how great the venue, gardens, food and staff were. We really couldn’t have asked for a better day!
Thank you to Lucy, Louise and all the staff at Old Down
