Wedding at Northorpe Barn

“it was everything we ever wanted and more”

We had our perfect wedding at Northorpe Barn in August 2024 after first viewing the venue in October last year, and were beyond thrilled to see the results of many months of planning come together.

From our first viewing, we thought the barn was absolutely stunning and decided to take a “less is more” approach to decoration. The barn really does speak for itself, and recent renovations to the upstairs and outdoor areas have only enhanced the space.

Unlike some other venues we viewed, the barn is impressive without being overly formal. It is charmingly rustic and cosy yet open and spacious. We immediately knew it could provide the more relaxed experience we wanted, which was reflected in our food selections of a hog roast and Mexican street food, both of which were a hit with our guests. There were options to cater to every taste, and the barn could easily provide a more formal experience if desired.

Working with our wedding planner, Sam, was both a breeze and a pleasure. We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with her. Sam was always enthusiastic about our ideas and did everything to accommodate our requests and the requirements of our other vendors. She was so helpful, knowledgeable and personable. We felt no pressure at any stage and were provided with a clear timeline of what needed to be done. The closer we got to the wedding, Sam ensured that we were more and more excited for the big day (rather than apprehensive!)

Both while planning and on the day Sam’s experience was evident; on the day there was a hiccup with one of our vendors which was swiftly and discreetly resolved. Everything ran smoothly and was so well organised yet felt really natural and not as though we were sticking to a timetable or needed to rush anything. She kept checking in with us without it feeling at all intrusive (making sure the bride got a drink!) and took particular care of our elderly relatives.

We weren’t able to set up the day before due to another wedding at the venue, but Sam took such care to set everything up exactly as we wanted, right down to the most minute details. It was magical walking into the space on the day and it looked even better than we ever imagined! All our guests have been so complimentary of our wedding, the venue and helpful staff.

We are extremely pleased to know that proceeds from events at the barn support the activities of the Northorpe Hall Child and Family Trust, which provides help to children, young people, and families.

“it was everything we ever wanted and more”

After finally getting back to reality just wanted to message you to tell you we had the most amazing day. It was everything we ever wanted and more from start to finish and that is so much down to you!

I feel like you’ve (Sam) become my friend over these years and you’ve looked after us so well. Makes me emotional writing this. You were fantastic and we couldn’t have done it without you!

The venue, the food, the staff & you have been raved about.

“we knew we didn’t need to worry about a thing”

As soon as we met Sam, we knew we didn’t need to worry about a thing on our special day. How right we were.

Sam and her amazing team could not do enough for us. They thought of everything so that we didn’t have to. Anything we asked for they delivered, and more. The food was delicious and many of our guests commented on how good it was. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue and will highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect day and night.

Party at The Northorpe Barn

“Our wedding day was perfect”

Our Wedding Day at Northorpe Barn was perfect.

We took the ‘Prep and Party’ option so we were able to decorate the barn ourselves the day before and have a lovely afternoon tea.

The venue is fabulous in its own right so really doesn’t need much decoration. Whilst decorating and on our wedding day nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

Sam was amazing, she took detailed notes in the run up to make sure our day ran smoothly which it did and was more than happy to fulfil personalised requests for food/drinks.

We would highly recommend you take a look at this venue

“I’m so pleased we chose the northorope barn”

I’m so pleased we chose The Northorpe Barn as our wedding venue. On top of it being such a beautiful place, the fact that proceeds from their events support charity work really set this place apart from anywhere else we considered. Of all the things that go in to planning a wedding, I never would have expected that organising the venue would be the simplest. Their detailed brochure makes it easy to start to piece together the options for your day, and from our first meeting Sam was more than accommodating when it came to incorporating personalised options into our choices (including making sure the bar was stocked with my wife’s choice of beer!). By making sure every detail had been considered in advance of the wedding, Sam was able to organise the flow of the day perfectly so that we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, any time we needed something they were on hand immediately and their experience hosting events really shone through. We can’t thank you enough for helping us put together the most perfect day.

“Thank you to all involved in the most perfect running of our day”

Sam, there really is not enough words we could say to thank you. We’re so grateful for the small things like making sure we was fed and watered when we looked like we couldn’t possibly have one more photograph and just recognising when you knew we needed something was there in a flash.

The setup looked incredible, the day ran perfectly and each and every single one of our guests commented on how amazing the venue really was.

Your efforts definitely didn’t go unnoticed and if we could do it again, which we really do, we’d want you there with us!

“Our day couldn’t have gone better”

This review won’t completely communicate just how happy we were with the first-rate service provided by the team at Northorpe Barn. We selected the venue largely because of the financial support it offers to Northorpe Hall Trust, and also because we’d first seen how beautiful the barn was at a gig back in 2017.

We’re extremely pleased we selected Northorpe Barn as we feel our day couldn’t have gone any better, thanks to Caroline, Sam, and all the staff who helped the day go so smoothly. In the run up to our wedding, both Sam and Caroline were happy to answer any questions we had, and our meetings with them always made us feel reassured that everything was in hand. We were right. They handled everything from start to finish brilliantly. Leaving us to enjoy the day with family and friends.

The Prep and Party prior to our wedding day was really useful, as it gave us the opportunity to set up the venue as we wanted. The lunch provided was also very tasty!

The food for our wedding day was also first rate. We selected the hog roast and an evening buffet, and both meals were delicious. There was no issue catering for everyone’s dietary requirements and guests were also happy with a very well stocked bar!

It was lovely to hear our guests on the day, and after, tell us how beautiful the venue was and how friendly the staff were. There’s definitely a warm and welcoming atmosphere at Northorpe Barn that I don’t think you’d find in other venues.

We couldn’t recommend Northorpe Barn more highly. Thank you Sam and Caroline for helping to make our day so very special.
