Shaun an I had the most perfect weekend for our wedding in August 2018. What attracted us to Milton End was it's family run feeling, we were able to host all of our family in the holiday barns and that it was a barn full of character but still a blank canvas so we could create our own vision and using suppliers that we wanted to work with.
I had my heart set on a rustic, DIY wedding theme as I wanted to make a lot the decor, favours etc with my bridesmaids. It was perfect and the only venue we looked at.
We are lucky enough to know the Turner family (who own Milton End) really well however, our whole experience from the first visit all the way through to the day we left was 5* and we would have expected no less as the family are amazing.
With the wedding reception barn we decided to deck out the sides with marquee lining and we used the rustic ladder which is already hanging down the middle, our florist draped flowers and foliage all around it.
We had 150 guests to the day and over 200 in the evening and there was enough space for everyone.
Being a family of four we had lots of children at our wedding and they had plenty of space to play and because the court yard had a wall and gates, parents felt safe that they were able to roam around with freedom. I made goodie bags for each of the children to have at the table and we also had a crafts table outside in the sunshine and soft play inside. The children and our guests loved seeing Dominic the Donkey and the ducks greeting everyone as they arrived was just perfect.
We chose Becca and her team at Aureum Catering and we couldn't have been happier with the food, service and everything ran seamlessly. We were able to take my mum and dad to the tasting and we were so surprised to be offered our full menu to try, which was all mouthwateringly tasty. What really topped off our weekend was Rebecca cooked bacon rolls and tea/coffee for everyone the morning after our wedding, before the big clean up!
Holly, my best friend and wedding coordinator helped us from our first meeting all the way through to the end. She was the one with the timetable and had everything under control - from making sure the best man was ready to give the speech, ensuring the PA system was ready to go all the way to making sure the candles were lit in the evening. It was so reassuring having Holly not only as a bridesmaid being there with me in the morning, but I knew everything would be covered and I didn't worry about a thing all day.
shaun and I loved that everything that we needed in a venue was included in the price. The wedding barn, accommodation, bar and so many little extras really helped us seal the deal on our perfect wedding weekend.
The cherry on the top for us was being able to set up at leisure on the Friday, have the whole of Sunday to recover with family and friends and then saying goodbye on the Monday. The best weekend of our lives and one neither of us will forget.
Milton End really was the most perfect venue to host our day and I would highly recommend it to any couple wanting a countryside wedding with a difference. We wanted somewhere that wasn't like any other venue and Milton End definitely exceeded our expectations.
Thank you Kate, Holly and the team.
