Full Description
Whether you are planning an intimate civil ceremony, or a more lavish, opulent reception, Winters Barns offers versatile function rooms to accommodate all your requirements. The L-shaped barns, with the ceremony room at one end and the reception room at the other, mean that you can enjoy a wedding at the venue whatever the weather. The ceremony room and wedding breakfast barn both seat up to 150 guests, while the whole area can hold up to 225 for an evening reception. After the ceremony, while you are enjoying your drinks reception, we will clear the ceremony room to make way for the couple’s first dance and the party can really get started! We believe a wedding should remain completely private and we limit ourselves to one wedding each day. You can be assured of getting our personal and individual attention without any distractions.

Our Perfect Wedding Day
Me and my new husband would like to thank everyone at Winters Barns for making our day so special. Especially our coordinator Sophie, she was brilliant throughout all the planning and on the day. Thank you again for making our day as perfect as we imagined!

It looked exactly as it did in the pictures!
It looked exactly as it did in the pictures, so many other barns don't. Others have been underwhelming once you get there but Winters Barns was as stunning as presented. Communication was great. If our co-ordinator was on a day off we still got a reply acknowledging that our email had been received. We simply had the best day!

It was absolutely perfect
Planning process was AMAZING, the wedding coordinators there was so helpful and had an answer to any question you had. You are able to go up to the barn as many times you want. Winters Barns was very quick to respond to you and help you out as much as they can. Any problem they would help sort it. We have had friends and family say how beautiful the day was. Nothing went wrong and it was absolutely perfect. Myself and Jack also say there was nothing we would of changed.

Our wedding day was honestly the best of our lives.
As soon as we walked through the main door to the barn we both fell in love with the venue instantly. The open nature, coupled with the rustic feel to the whole venue was absolutely stunning. Our wedding day was honestly the best of our lives. The grounds looked incredible and the venue was absolutely perfect. The staff were amazing, they handled every with absolute class and the biggest credit we can give was that everything ran so smoothly there was minimal need for interaction. Sally was unbelievable! She knew exactly what we needed before we even knew we needed it!
