Description
Description
The Waltham Barn is a restored mid 19th century working farm, and perfect for smaller, relaxed intimate weddings. The wedding team are dedicated & passionate to ensure your day is perfect, ensuring attention to detail at every stage. With only one wedding a day, the focus is all on you. With some lovely photo opportunities, stylish décor and private use of the large flagstone courtyard and wedding garden, it's a venue to take into consideration, especially as the cost is so very reasonable and offering great value. Unlike other venues you will not lose your guests to an over-sized room.
Our new all-inclusive packages make planning your wedding a piece of cake! With catering, DJ, chair décor and accommodation the night before taken care of, all you need to think about is the guest list.
