A spectacular venue for our wedding!

The Chester Fields provided us with a most spectacular venue for our wedding. Milly our wedding planner was amazing from the moment we booked the venue to the minute that I walked down he aisle. I can’t thank her enough for bring my vision to life for this special day. The staff were very accommodating and we was very impressed by the commitment of the staff to be able to transform the venue around for each part of the day. We cannot thank everyone from The Fields enough!

Made the day Magical

When I first saw the venue decorated when I walked down the aisle, I couldn't believe how magical it looked. It was just what I had pictured in my head. They provided a seamless transition between each section of the wedding with no hiccups and again decorated beautifully. The staff was amazing and caring. They helped out at every turn and ensured that there was nothing for us to worry about. My guests raved all day about the food and how amazing it was. Especially the evening food, as everyone loves a great pizza :-). They catered to every need, and there was not one person who was pleased with their food.

The Best Day

We had the most amazing day at The Chester Fields. With help from the whole team, we achieved our perfect day, including helping us bring along a whole wind band! Everyone involved couldn't do enough for us, the food was amazing, the service was second to none and we just had the most relaxed and perfect day we could have asked for. Our guests loved it and there were compliments all round on the venue and set up from the other suppliers we had involved. We are so grateful to the team for helping us to achieve our dream day! From initial planning to the actual day, everything was perfect.

Wonderful wedding reception

We had our wedding reception at The Chester Fields in April 2023 and we could not have been more thrilled with our choice of venue! We were inundated with lovely comments from our guests about the venue, the staff, the food and the day as a whole and we can't thank Milly, Molly, Paul and the team enough for ensuring the day was superbly organised and ran without a hitch. Thank you The Chester Fields!

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Fields Barn Venue ?

Each wedding we have hosted has been special in their own way. My favorite weddings at the venue are always the relaxed, informal and down to earth ones. The true meaning of a wedding day is expressing your love for one another amongst friends and family and to see this happening in a relaxed setting where everyone is comfortable is heart warming.

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

The venue is one of the biggest decisions in the wedding planning process and it is so important that you get along with and trust your wedding planner. I would visit the venue a few times before confirming a booking, bring along family and friends too! I would also meet the person responsible for making the day happen as you will be trusting them to put your vision together to create the day you have been dreaming about for a long time.

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

There have been so many but one of my favorites has to be seeing the love story from first date to the wedding day using pictures dotted around the venue. One of the more popular trends now are unique wedding hashtags and another of my favorites' - the brides speech.

Although our Hog Roast has served us well as a great midnight snack, being served with homemade stuffing and crackling, our new Woodfired Pizza is becoming more and more popular! Who doesn't love pizza?
