Megan and Rory May 2022

“We had the BEST DAY EVER!!

Everything was just how we wanted it and was so perfect for us both – we had the most beautiful day! The food was good exceptional, the vibe was amazing, the weather was perfect, the service was amazing! We honestly couldn’t have it any more perfect, so we thank you all for making it the most special wedding day for us. All our friends and family said how amazing the venue was and the service was brilliant – they couldn’t fault it! A huge thank you to you all for making our day so so special! We just want to do it all again now as the day went so quick. Kind regards from us and all those of our friends and family that had the best day ever!”

Anna and Andrew April 2022

“Thank you to all the staff for making our wedding day perfect. Every staff member was so helpful and efficient and made our special day run smoothly. All our guests said what a lovely venue it was.

The food was amazing. I also liked the Prep room where me and my bridesmaids could get ready on the day. Thanks once again to all the wedding planning team and members of staff who were on duty.”

Sam and Kelly April 2022

“Everyone was incredibly friendly, kind and hard working. The place looked incredible and the food was amazing. Drinks were constantly topped up and service was seamless. All the guests I spoke to said the arancini balls were the best thing they ever eaten and we couldn’t have agreed more! The evening food was also delicious and the man working the bar was very nice and cheerful. The hotel room was lovely and we appreciated staff offering food to be sent to our room for later so we didn’t miss out and could have a late night snack!

We were grateful too for the prosecco in the room. I would highly recommend the Barns to anyone considering a wedding, it was a wonderful evening and I’m grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. Thank you to all the staff for making our wedding day perfect. Every staff member was so helpful and efficient and made our special day run smoothly. All our guests said what a lovely venue it was.”

Welcome to The Tithe Barn 💭

We are an 800 year old barn wedding venue with a rich history. Our barn is truly one of a kind, and we really treasure celebrating love under our ancient beams. 

Our team is dedicated to planning the most perfect wedding days, centred around our wonderful couples. Their main purpose is to allow imagination to flow and make it all happen (within reason!)

We can’t wait to share more of what we love❤️
A few little tips and tricks to keep you grounded in this exciting period of your life 💌

1. Enjoy being in your little ‘newly engaged bubble’! This part is the most exciting of it all. Soak in all the feelings and excitement, tell all your family and friends, and spend time revelling in the celebrations! 

2. Take your time! There is absolutely no rush to plan your wedding as soon as you get engaged. Take time to think through decisions and ensure they are the right ones for you. 

3. When you feel ready, discuss your non-negotiables! Once you’ve got these sorted, you’ve almost got a baseline of what the essentials are and where you want to indulge a little!

4. Set a realistic budget and timeline. You don need to rush any of this process, it’s important you start off on a good foot! From here, you get a real idea of what to expect. 

5. Enquire with your priority suppliers. Once you’ve secured your venue, start reaching out to the suppliers you have been dreaming of and get them booked in!

2026 brides, it’s finally your turn! Buckle up and prepare for the wildest ride 😆

In amongst all the chaos, remember to always come back to your gut. This is your wedding so you have the final say on everything (that’s a pretty big power so make sure you use it!)
Dearest couples, 

This is YOUR year! The countdown is on and final preparations are in place. It’s time to start getting excited and get rid of those feelings of anxiety! 

Your wedding day should be something to be excited about, not worried about! Now, we know wedding planning can be stressful, but it’s important that sometimes you take a step back and really take some time to work out what it is that you are expecting from your special day - whether that be a few quiet moments with your newly-wed partner, or a secret performance during your wedding breakfast! 

We can’t wait to see what this year brings for all of you ✨
