White Dove Barn Full Description
The most romantic country wedding venue. Our weddings offer the exclusive hire of the entire estate. You will have access to all 22 bedrooms that can sleep 56 people allowing all of your friends and family to stay with you throughout your wedding with us at WHite dove barns. Our couples have exclusive hire from 1 p.m. the day before the wedding, giving you lots of time to dress the barn in your own style, writing your guests name in chalk onto each of the bedrooms to add a personal touch. You can then relax with your guests that evening having a meal or BBQ knowing that the venue is exactly as you had dreamt it would look with all of your personal touches. You will have exclusive hire of the venue until 12 p.m. the day after the wedding. White Dove Barns can cater for both large and small weddings for a range of budgets. Our beautiful light filled Grade II listed thatched barn can hold 128 guests for both the ceremony and wedding breakfast, but can equally suit smaller, more intimate receptions of 60 guests.

We all had the most magical time at White Dove Barns
Hi all.
Just wanted to take the time to send you a message of thanks following the wedding of my daughter Holly at the weekend (29/04/23).
We all had the most magical time at White Dove Barns. Everything was just exceptional ,venue, accomodation, organisation, food, bar, coordination and particularly the staff.
What an amazing group the staff were. From the moment we arrived on Friday to the moment we left on Sunday they were fabulous. Particular thanks to Lynsday, Chef and team and bar manager Dawn who went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.
The whole weekend was just perfect and we will never forget it.
Thank you all so so much.
