In recent years we have witnessed a dramatic rise in the popularity of barn wedding venues, so much so that wedding barns and bridal barns are now the most popular type of wedding venues in the UK. It's unsurprising really, given the idyllic romanticism of celebrating your Big Day in a 300 year old, lovingly converted manor barn with impressive vaulted ceiling, exposed oak beams and magnificent brick-work. 

Subsequently, we have seen hundreds of disused or dilapidated old working barns being tastefully converted and renovated, primarily for the wedding market. And whilst many owners have focused on appealing to bo-ho/rustic brides and grooms, there are plenty of fine barn wedding venues - such as the fine Cripps Barns - that have succeeded in fusing the rustic vibe with a contemporary, luxury, elegant-chic style to suite an ever-wider range of clientele.

With the sheer variety of barn venues now available, no longer are they exclusive domain of the bohemian bride and off-beat groom. So I'm excited to present our handpicked selection of rustic wedding venues, impressive manor barns and elegant bridal barns to hire for weddings. They represent small selection of such properties that we have on our books. For more information on any you see below, plus hundreds more besides please get in touch.
