Tudor Barn Eltham

Overall we had a really lovely wedding at the Tudor Barn and both my wife and I are very glad we chose to get married there. The day ran incredibly smoothly and the staff were mostly fantastic. Below please find a breakdown of the pros, cons and things to be aware of. Pros - Most importantly the day went off without a hitch, everything ran smoothly without any major disruption. - The venue was beautiful, inside and out. (Though it’s worth noting that we were really lucky with the weather, so the outside space was really lovely to wait both before the ceremony and in-between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast.) - Guests absolutely loved the canapes, especially the sausage and mash spoons. - Ceremony went very smoothly, with the staff being very attentive and making sure everyone knew where they needed to be at each stage. - The wedding breakfast was tasty and a good-sized portion. We were very impressed that all 60+ guests all received the right food and drink, especially considering that we had a variety of guests that had specific dietary requirements. Neither a pro nor con but just be aware - If you aren’t having a live band you have to use a specific DJ, Staar productions; they did a perfectly good job and John (the DJ) was very kind. - The Tudor Barn falls in Greenwich registrars boundary, and our registrar was fantastic; we wanted the wedding ceremony to be fun and light hearted and the registrar made the ceremony very enjoyable for both us and the guests. Cons Our only negative points were from the evening. - The tea and Coffee that were provided in the evening stops from 10:30 when the wedding continued till midnight, this wasn’t the biggest issue but we did have a few guests who were not very happy about this. - The only thing we would have changed/would do differently if we were redoing the wedding was the evening food. The evening food was perfectly nice, however it was all brought up in one quick round and from one set of stairs at one end of the room. This meant that only guests on one side of the room at that moment knew about the evening food and we had evening guests on the other side of the room who didn’t get any food. During the planning I had considered spending more on having something like a pizza truck at the venue for the evening, but decided against the additional expense as the evening food that the Tudor Barn offered looked good. If we had gone for something like a Pizza truck then the guests could have requested pizzas to be made at the time they wanted, ensuring that everyone who wanted food in the evening could get it.

We had an amazing time for our wedding here. The support during the planning was incredible, the staff are all so organised and supportive, and the day itself ran perfectly. They are also so conscious of making sure you are having a good day (which we were!!) - the staff were very attentive and regularly checked in with us about how things were going. I also love that so much is done in-house so you don't need to worry about finding vendors, but it is also very personalisable so your day feels yours, and not 'off-the-shelf' at all. All the benefits of a package deal but it really feels like your day! Thanks so much to the amazing team.

We had a wedding in April. The venue was stunning. It has a nice rustic and classic feeling with lots of period features and beautiful garden. During the preparation, the team were amazingly helpful and accommodating. They were really well organized and helped guide us through planning process, giving us the right balance between structure and freedom. On the day, the team was so professional and supportive. Everything went smoothly and we were able to enjoy the day and relax.

We first came across Tudor Barn when searching for a venue in London, which has the look and feel of being 'outside of the city'. We fell in love with not only the venue upon seeing it, but with our interaction with Jade who explained everything in detail without overloading. Upon choosing the venue, we then attended the showcase evening which was a great opportunity to meet Suzie and also external suppliers (three of which we went with and all of which we would recommend STAAR, Chic & Doubletre

We had the most wonderful wedding day from start to finish! The venue hosts sorted everything and we had literally no stress at all during the whole day! Suzie and the team were great throughout our wedding organising and on hand whenever we needed any help. On the day, the staff were fantastic and our guests said it was the most seamless wedding they have experienced! We had 80 guests and 30 more in the evening. They all had the best time! Thank you for our perfect day!

We looked at several wedding venues and Tudor Barn was by far the best. We live in California and Suzie was very flexible in catering our phone calls to work with the time difference. She also recommended a wonderful florist and photographer, which made things so easy for us. All our guests had an amazing time and we are so happy with how everything turned out!
