Describe the best wedding that happened at The Rhynd?
One of our couples had a mega party, we had a super pro lighting company come into the venue and set up some amazing uplighters, even more fairy lights, lazers outside and speakers everywhere. The place was ALIVE! They even had their own logo for the wedding shining onto one of our walls. The venue looked stunning, the couple were THE most amazingly well suited pair (and we see alot of couples!) and the atmosphere was electric!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Take your time to enjoy being engaged and have a proper think about what YOU as a couple want. It's so easy to be swayed by family but ultimitely its your day, so make sure that you are doing things your way.
Get the big ones ticked off the list, venue (and date), band, florist, photographer and catering team, then relax and dream for a while. It's so important to keep the buzz and excitement, don't sweat the small stuff!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Hot air balloon! Our couple got engaged in a hot air balloon and they had the basket shipped into the venue for couples to climb into and take photographs in.

Where’s the best photo spot at The Rhynd?
I love a good courtyard dance under the fairylights outside at sunset!
We also have gorgeous gardens, and a romantic forest surrounding the venue.
The beach is also just a 5 minute drive from the barn
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Rhynd?
Not yet!
What’s your favourite canapé?
I love a grazing table! Give people a chance to stuff their faces with meats and cheeses rather than having to wait for the small canapes to pass by!
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Pizza truck...or maybe a proper Italian pasta van....
What is The Rhynd most unique feature?
I think its the photo opportunities - beach, forest, farm fields in crop, poly tunnels of fruit, stone walled back drops, amazing gardens....there is a little bit of everything in there!
What part of your business are you most proud of?
Honestly...our team, and how they look after every couple from start to finish! We are always on the phone, email, there in person. We treat each couple like our own family and really try to look after them on the set up days (endless coffees) on the day itself (bringing you that glass of champagne when needed, helping you into the loo before you walk down the aisle or picking confetti out of your hair and fixing you dress for those important photos) and on the day after (paracetamol and a fry-up?).
