We had our wedding at Dovecote Barn and genuinely couldn’t recommend it more highly.

From our very first visit back in December, we knew it was the perfect venue for our small, intimate celebration. The entire team made us feel so welcome and cared for throughout the whole process — nothing was ever too much trouble.

On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly. Lauren was amazing at keeping me calm and ensuring everything flowed perfectly from start to finish. The food was absolutely outstanding and received non-stop compliments from our guests — it truly exceeded all expectations.

What really stood out was how personal and effortless everything felt. The team helped with everything — from setting up our decorations, to keeping the pianist a surprise for my husband, and making sure every guest was looked after. It never felt like a production — it felt like we were surrounded by friends.

As a self-confessed control freak, I was blown away by how smoothly and professionally everything was handled — even the smallest details, like laying out the breakfast table. I had such a clear vision for how I wanted it all to look, having made all the decorations myself, and somehow they still managed to surpass my expectations.

Mel and Matthew have built a phenomenal team who are a real credit to them. We’re so grateful for the part Dovecote Barn played in making our day so special — and we’re already looking for an excuse to come back, hopefully to celebrate an anniversary in the future.

If you’re considering Dovecote Barn for your wedding or event, don’t hesitate — you’ll be in the very best hands.
