Ceremonies at The Ridgeway Barns
Are you licenced for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships? Yes! We are licenced for indoor and outdoor civil marriages and civil partnership ceremonies. Choose an intimate celebration in the farmhouse (capacity 24), an indoor ceremony in the Threshing Barn (capacity 100), or say ‘I do’ under our beautiful oak-framed gazebo, with stunning views over the North Wessex Downs (capacity 120).
Is there an extra fee for holding our legal ceremony at the venue? No! We don’t charge extra for ceremonies when you book your wedding at The Ridgeway Barns, but you will need to book a registrar through Swindon Register Office and pay their fee (currently £580-£750). We advise you do this early to avoid disappointment.
At what time can we hold our ceremony? As a guide, celebrant-led ceremonies can be held at any time between 11am and dusk/6pm, although there is some flexibility on this. For legal ceremonies the standard times provided by Swindon Register Office are 11am, 12.30pm, 2pm, 3.30pm and 5pm, with 2pm being our favourite time!
Are we allowed confetti at The Ridgeway Barns? Yes, of course! If you’d like that fabulous confetti shot we just ask that you provide natural, biodegradable confetti (e.g. dried petals) for your guests to throw.
Capacity
What is the capacity of the venue?
For weddings, the Threshing Barn has capacity for 100 (seated) or 120 (evening) in the summer months (April – October), or 68 (seated) and 100 (evening) in the winter months (November – March). The higher summer capacity is facilitated by the inclusion of our stretch tent, providing a great space for your guests to mingle, whatever the weather. Outside we have ample space for outdoor ceremonies.
Coming in 2027 ~ our Granary Barn will increase the capacity of the venue to 120 day and 150 evening guests.
We have onsite accommodation for up to 18. The main farmhouse has six bedroom sleeping 11-12 ~ three king size rooms (all en-suite), two twin rooms and a single. There are two king/super king sized annexes which each sleep 2, taking the total to 15. In addition we can provide a pop-up bed and two travel cots. We also have a beautifully restored shepherd’s hut available May to September, sleeping 2.
For intimate weddings, the farmhouse has capacity for up to 24 (dining), or 24 (ceremony).
Can we squeeze in a few extra guests? Weddings are complex events with several component parts, often including your ceremony, drinks reception, a seated meal and a party. While we all keep our fingers crossed for a glorious day for you and your guests to spread into the garden, unfortunately the weather is one thing we just can’t guarantee. The last thing we would want to do is push your guests out into the rain on a wet day while we re-set between elements, so for barn weddings we restrict numbers to 100 seated and 120 evening guests (April – October), or 68/100 (November-March). A slightly higher capacity is possible if you are not holding a ceremony on site.
Food and Drink
Please see our Wining and Dining page for more detail.
What catering do you provide on site? We work with some great local caterers who we are very happy to recommend. Please see our directory of trusted partners for more detail.
Do you allow external caterers? Yes, we are happy to work with any professional caterer who holds a food hygiene certificate and public liability insurance. We recommend any caterer who has not worked with us before gets in touch to discuss facilities and access prior to providing you with a quote.
What facilities do you have for our caterers use? We have a commercial kitchen in the Threshing Barn, available for use by professional caterers. This includes an oven, hot cupboard, induction hob and refrigerator. We recommend any caterer who has not worked with us before gets in touch to discuss facilities and access prior to providing you with a quote. We provide tables and chairs (for guests) when you book the barn, and all glassware for your event.
Will you run a bar for our wedding? The Ridgeway Barns is a fully licenced venue and we have our own well stocked and reasonably priced bar and staff who run it on your big day, leaving you one less thing to worry about. Our bar stock and price list are available on request.
Can we provide our own alcohol? If you would like to provide your own reception drinks, table wine and toasting drink we provide drinks service options starting at £12.50 per adult. This price includes receipt of your alcohol, chilling, storage, provision of glassware, preparation, and service of drinks. Please see our drinks options brochure for further detail.
Music & Entertainment
Can we have a live band or DJ at our wedding? We are fully licenced for playing both live and recorded music, and absolutely love a live band or great DJ at a wedding! We also have a PA system that you are welcome to use for your ceremony, speeches and background music.
Do you have a sound limit? Our licence means that music is limited to 95 dBA, which we find is more than loud enough for a good party. We will monitor sound levels throughout your event, and if required we will discreetly ask your band/DJ to reduce the volume. We do not currently use a sound limiter.
Do you allow candles, firepits, sparklers and fireworks? Our fire pit is included in the venue hire fee ~ we will light this after your wedding breakfast and manage it during your event. Unfortunately we do not allow fireworks or Chinese lanterns due to the risk to the farm, but we do accept candles (when held within heat resistant containers) and sparklers. Please see our T&Cs for full details (available on request).
Can our dog be included in our celebrations? We know all too well how your furry friend is part of your family and that you may want him or her to be part of your celebration, so we welcome dogs and some other animals (within reason) by prior agreement. Extra fees apply.

Suggested Itinerary for your day
Every wedding is different, but to help with your planning we have provided an example timeline for your wedding day below.
1 p
m ~ Guest arrival
We recommend inviting your guests to arrive 30 to 60 minutes prior to your ceremony. The bar will be open and guests will have chance to relax before the big ‘I Do!’
2 pm ~ Your wedding ceremony
Civil ceremonies typically take around 20 minutes, and we find 2 pm is the perfect time to start your celebrations (the register office also offer ceremonies at 12.30 pm, 3.30 pm and 5 pm).
2.30 pm ~ Drinks Reception
A great opportunity to catch up with your guests, grab those all-important group photos, and maybe share some tasty canapes with fabulous music.
4 pm to 6/6.30 pm ~ Wedding Breakfast & Speeches
Dine in style with your guests. We recommend allowing 30 minutes for starters, 60 minutes for your main course and 30 minutes for dessert. Speeches may take place before, during or after your meal, and can take anything from 10 to 90 minutes!
6.30 pm to 7.30 pm ~ Cocktail Hour
You may want to provide drinks or some live entertainment during the transition from food to your evening party, maybe even a couple’s choice cocktail hour! (Check out our drinks options brochure for detail). This is also a great time for any evening guests to arrive.
7-8 pm ~ First Dance
It’s entirely up to you whether you have a formal first dance as a couple, but some time between 7 pm and 8 pm is a great time to start your party.
8.30 pm ~ Evening Food
Dancing is hungry work, so we always recommend providing evening food to keep your guests fuelled into the evening!
11.30 pm ~ Bar closes
Our normal finish time is midnight, with bar close at 11.30 and music off at 11.45 pm. Later finishes are available.
Venue hire prices vary depending on the size of your event, day of the week and time of year ~ with Summer Saturdays being the most popular time to marry. We try to keep it simple and fair. So, what do you need to know?

Testimonials
We discovered this amazing venue while it was still undergoing renovations to become a wedding venue. We instantly fell in love with the view from the garden. It also fit our requirement to have a full weekend hire that allowed for a relaxing wedding weekend. Louisa who runs the operation is fantastic and liaises with all of your suppliers giving you the ability to have a truly unique wedding but with less of the hassle.
Emma & Doug, July 2022
We booked The Ridgeway Barns in 2023 for our April 2025 wedding and throughout the two year planning process the team kept us updated with changes, key information and planning steps. We had the venue from Tuesday to Thursday and everything ran smoothly with setting up, the wedding day and day after.
The team are very accommodating, the venue and grounds are simply stunning and the house was a perfect addition for our family to stay with us. We felt relaxed and comfortable with the team and throughout our wedding and there are plenty of spaces for both the bride and groom to get ready on site + those all important photo opportunities! We even had our dog included in the day which was very special and he was welcomed by the venue too.
A massive thank you to Georgina and the team for making our special day even more special! If we could do it all again we absolutely would! If you’re looking for a relaxed and friendly venue where you can personalise so many aspects, we highly recommend The Ridgeway Barns.
Chloe & Isaac, April 2025
We just wanted to express our sincere thanks for helping to create such a memorable wedding day for our son Isaac and his wife Chloe on 16th April 2025. The excellent service and dedication in making the day so perfect for them both was truly appreciated, and as for The Farmhouse accommodation – what a luxury! Special thanks must go to Georgina for being so friendly, helpful and professional throughout the whole experience from the run up, to the actual day itself. My elderly mum (gran) certainly felt very well looked after! The whole team were so professional and nothing was too much trouble. It was a special day and will hold wonderful memories that we will treasure forever.
Emma & Brian, April 2025
Thank you so much to all the team at The Ridgeway Barns for our absolutely fantastic weekend celebrating our wedding day!

Thank you so much for making our day and weekend so memorable.
Megan & Tom, March 2025
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! From start to finish, the team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and so helpful in making our vision come to life. Everything on the day ran so smoothly, and it was clear that a lot of care and attention had gone into every detail. A huge shoutout to Jess and Georgina, who were absolute stars! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right, and their warmth and enthusiasm made the whole experience even more special. They really felt like part of the celebration, and we can’t thank them enough for all their hard work. If you’re looking for a venue with a fantastic team who truly care about making your day unforgettable, this is the place. We’re so grateful and would recommend them in a heartbeat! I’m going to miss wedding planning because of this team!

Our wedding weekend here was phenomenal. The farmhouse was perfect accommodation for 15 people to get ready. Plenty of beautiful, comfortable space for makeup artists, hairdressers etc to set up (for 2 brides as well, not just 1!). It felt very homely and relaxed. The venue itself is stunning. Wonderful views, beautiful countryside and the barn and stretch tent are really lovely spacious communal spaces for weddings of all weather!
The team couldn’t do enough for us, helping us plan the timings of the day with their expertise and being flexible with plans based on the weather.
Jess & Amanda, September 2024
As a bride and groom, we cannot recommend The Ridgeway Barns highly enough! From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful landscaping and charming details that created a magical day.
The event team (Georgina & Louisa) went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day memorable. Our wedding coordinator (Georgina) listened to our vision and helped bring it to life seamlessly. Georgina was visible throughout the day for anything we needed!

Melissa & Thom, July 2024
We had our wedding here last weekend and I cannot express how absolutely incredible the people are. Since our first conversation Louisa has made this process so smooth & stress free. Her attention to detail is second to none and knew our wedding plan more than I did!!! The venue was stunning, the barn & farmhouse is like a fairy tale, and the beautiful green fields and horses backdrop was so beautiful. If I could leave a 6* review I would, can’t recommend them enough. Thank you so very much for making our day so memorable!

Gill, June 2024
We loved working with the Ridgeway Barns for our wedding in June 2024. The team could not have been more helpful, flexible and willing to accommodate all of our requests. Their experience was also so helpful where needed and they managed our suppliers perfectly. As a result the day ran really smoothly. We could not have asked for more.
Sian & Chris, June 2024
The best day celebrating the marriage of my bestie Sian and her fabulous husband Chris. The venue is breath taking and enables all to dance the night away. the staff are amazing and go the extra mile. the farmhouse was the perfect home from home, lots of space for pre wedding excitement and post wedding debriefs, just fab!
Harriet, June 2024
Thank you so much to all the team at The Ridgeway Barns! We had the pleasure of working with Louisa and Jess who both went above and beyond for us both and were incredibly flexible and accommodating to all our needs. They both could not have done more for us and made the planning process easier because of it. The house itself was perfect for our intimate wedding and The Old Stables was ideal for getting ready on the day too! The day would not have been the same if it wasn’t for the gardens which are incredibly well kept and beautiful.
Tom & Lilya, June 2024
Hi Georgina,
We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you so much for everything in the run up to, and across, this weekend. The day itself was better than we’d hoped and you and all of the staff were amazing; attentive but calm and relaxed. So many of our friends and family have said how stunning the venue is and we feel really lucky to have been able to start married life at Ridgeway Barns.
Victoria & Tom, June 2024
What a fantastic day we had! The Ridgeway Barns is a dream wedding location with an amazing team to guide you through the planning maze and to run the day for you to ensure everything is just perfect. We were so lucky with the weather and we married outside in the gazebo with a jaw dropping backdrop of gorgeous countryside. The threshing barn looked fabulous where we had our wedding breakfast and also the evening party with bar and disco. I cannot recommend this venue enough it is just perfect.
Debz & Darren, May 2024
My daughter had her wedding reception there on Tuesday. We couldn’t fault the venue, the staff or the overnight accommodation. Everything was magnificent and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone looking for somewhere to hold their special event.
Donna & Bryan, April 2024
We took a gamble on The Ridgeway Barns when we viewed and booked it for our wedding in November 2023, before it was finished. We trusted their vision and they pulled it off amazingly, it was even better than we imagined! Louisa communicated perfectly throughout and made us feel relaxed during the planning process. Even our 3 dogs were welcomed when they popped in for photos on the day. Everything went to plan on the day, all our guests complimented the venue and décor. Thank you Louisa and team!
Lucy & Joe, November 2023
A beautiful venue for the wedding weekend of our dreams! From start to finish, Louisa and the team at The Ridgeway Barns helped us every step of the way to make our special day a reality. Set in a beautiful location, the venue itself is not only stunning but so well thought through. Having the venue for the full weekend enabled us and our families to enjoy every moment of our celebrations!

Matilda & Chris, September 2023
Special places and special people make for memorably special days, and so it should be no surprise that our wedding was just those things. What a wonderful weekend we’ve had for our wedding, we really could not have picked a more perfect venue. All of our guests were blown away by the house, the view & the barn. You’ve been so supportive and the way the whole day seamlessly tied together and flowed from beginning to end was in no doubt due to the efforts of all the team. Louisa & team you have been amazing and your tireless efforts over the last year and a half are very gratefully appreciated.
Emily & Aaron, September 2023

The Ridgeway Barns will forever be a special place to us.
Lauren & Arthur, August 2023
Gosh, what a house! We knew we wanted somewhere both homely and confy, but also fancy for our wedding, but didn’t know we would find somewhere so perfect. All our family stayed for the whole bank holiday weekend – we had the most perfect wedding. All organised so professionally, you even sorted the weather!
Rachel & Paris, May 2023
We had the most amazing wedding at The Ridgeway Barns. It was so special to have use of the barn, which is the most beautiful of settings ~ everything is so stunning here.

Kim & Sean, April 2023
We got married at The Ridgeway Barns in July 2022 and genuinely cannot praise the location, house, organisation and Louisa highly enough. Louisa helped us stay on track, liaised with all of our suppliers and managed the deliveries and the timings to ensure our day went absolutely perfectly. We can’t thank Louisa, Becky, Alex and their team enough for creating our perfect wedding day. It really was the best day of our lives! We recommend this venue to everyone!

Thank you so much for making our son and his new wife’s wedding day such a fantastic occasion. From arrival at the house on Friday to leaving on Sunday, the whole experience was amazing. What you have achieved is phenomenal! Your attention to detail in all of the rooms has ensured they each have retained their own character whilst being to the highest standard. Louisa – your professionalism in ensuring every need was anticipated and fully met, while remaining calm and cheerful was exemplary, and the staff were fabulous. You went above and beyond, and we cannot thank you enough.
Andy & Chris, July 2022
We wanted to say a huge thank you for what was truly the best day of our lives. Louisa has been amazing from the start to finish. Everything was so efficiently and discreetly done, from moving the benches, to guests being served at the bar, to the candles being lit, it was really impressive.
The Ridgeway Barns venue is stunning ~ the grounds and house are immaculate, and it was amazing to have such creative freedom to make our wedding so personal to us. Thank you so much for making all this possible!
Eve & Millie, May 2022
It was a pleasure to work with Louisa and her team as we planned for our wedding in July 2022. The venue is absolutely stunning, and our wedding day was made so special. Louisa was on top of everything – very professional and responsive to all our questions. She ensured to coordinate with all our vendors so we didn’t have to worry on the day. We wish we could do it all over again! We would have no hesitation in recommending you have your wedding at The Ridgeway Barns.
Karol & Matt, July 2022
Gosh, what a weekend, what a wedding! We cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did for us all, absolutely outstanding! The venue was absolutely perfect and nowhere else on earth would have been anywhere near as perfect as there. We feel very blessed we were able to nab that weekend and pull off what we did. With huge thanks in our hearts.
Maddie & Adam, August 2022
We discovered this amazing venue while it was still undergoing renovations to become a wedding venue. We instantly fell in love with the view from the garden. It also fit our requirement to have a full weekend hire that allowed for a relaxing wedding weekend. Louisa who runs the operation is fantastic and liaises with all of your suppliers giving you the ability to have a truly unique wedding but with less of the hassle.
Emma & Doug, July 2022
We booked The Ridgeway Barns in 2023 for our April 2025 wedding and throughout the two year planning process the team kept us updated with changes, key information and planning steps. We had the venue from Tuesday to Thursday and everything ran smoothly with setting up, the wedding day and day after.
The team are very accommodating, the venue and grounds are simply stunning and the house was a perfect addition for our family to stay with us. We felt relaxed and comfortable with the team and throughout our wedding and there are plenty of spaces for both the bride and groom to get ready on site + those all important photo opportunities! We even had our dog included in the day which was very special and he was welcomed by the venue too.
A massive thank you to Georgina and the team for making our special day even more special! If we could do it all again we absolutely would! If you’re looking for a relaxed and friendly venue where you can personalise so many aspects, we highly recommend The Ridgeway Barns.
Chloe & Isaac, April 2025
We just wanted to express our sincere thanks for helping to create such a memorable wedding day for our son Isaac and his wife Chloe on 16th April 2025. The excellent service and dedication in making the day so perfect for them both was truly appreciated, and as for The Farmhouse accommodation – what a luxury! Special thanks must go to Georgina for being so friendly, helpful and professional throughout the whole experience from the run up, to the actual day itself. My elderly mum (gran) certainly felt very well looked after! The whole team were so professional and nothing was too much trouble. It was a special day and will hold wonderful memories that we will treasure forever.
Emma & Brian, April 2025
Thank you so much to all the team at The Ridgeway Barns for our absolutely fantastic weekend celebrating our wedding day! We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our stay in this absolutely stunning house, Old Stables and Pumphouse. All of our guests complimented the barn, house and overall beautiful venue! Thank you so much for making our day and weekend so memorable.
Megan & Tom, March 2025
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! From start to finish, the team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and so helpful in making our vision come to life. Everything on the day ran so smoothly, and it was clear that a lot of care and attention had gone into every detail. A huge shoutout to Jess and Georgina, who were absolute stars! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right, and their warmth and enthusiasm made the whole experience even more special. They really felt like part of the celebration, and we can’t thank them enough for all their hard work. If you’re looking for a venue with a fantastic team who truly care about making your day unforgettable, this is the place. We’re so grateful and would recommend them in a heartbeat! I’m going to miss wedding planning because of this team!

Dayna & Gary, October 2024
We have nothing but love and good things to say about The Ridgeway Barns, both the barn venue and accommodation. Faultless, meticulous attention to detail, incredible staff and just the most special place for our wedding. We literally could not recommend it enough and need an excuse to come back. Thank you!

You were absolutely amazing, thank you for being a part of our special day and for everything you have done for us. The most perfect venue imaginable and the most amazing team!
Leila & Steve, September 2024
Our wedding weekend here was phenomenal. The farmhouse was perfect accommodation for 15 people to get ready. Plenty of beautiful, comfortable space for makeup artists, hairdressers etc to set up (for 2 brides as well, not just 1!). It felt very homely and relaxed. The venue itself is stunning. Wonderful views, beautiful countryside and the barn and stretch tent are really lovely spacious communal spaces for weddings of all weather!
The team couldn’t do enough for us, helping us plan the timings of the day with their expertise and being flexible with plans based on the weather.
Jess & Amanda, September 2024
As a bride and groom, we cannot recommend The Ridgeway Barns highly enough! From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful landscaping and charming details that created a magical day.
The event team (Georgina & Louisa) went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day memorable. Our wedding coordinator (Georgina) listened to our vision and helped bring it to life seamlessly. Georgina was visible throughout the day for anything we needed!
Connie & Brad, September 2024
Splendid venue, Staff amazing, Louisa goes above and beyond to make your day special. Thank you to everyone, exceptional in every way, a more than perfect weekend.

WOW! What a weekend we had. Thank you so so SO much for all your help across the weekend and the planning before. We had the best time ever and The Ridgeway Barns was the perfect place to host our wedding.

Melissa & Thom, July 2024
We had our wedding here last weekend and I cannot express how absolutely incredible the people are. Since our first conversation Louisa has made this process so smooth & stress free. Her attention to detail is second to none and knew our wedding plan more than I did!!! The venue was stunning, the barn & farmhouse is like a fairy tale, and the beautiful green fields and horses backdrop was so beautiful. If I could leave a 6* review I would, can’t recommend them enough. Thank you so very much for making our day so memorable!
Sam & Greg, July 2024
Wow! what can we say, amazing venue, farmhouse and gardens. We had an amazing time, attention to detail is amazing, the girls are fantastic and couldn’t be more helpful. Such an amazing wedding and unforgettable experience. Thank you so much.
Gill, June 2024
We loved working with the Ridgeway Barns for our wedding in June 2024. The team could not have been more helpful, flexible and willing to accommodate all of our requests. Their experience was also so helpful where needed and they managed our suppliers perfectly. As a result the day ran really smoothly. We could not have asked for more.
Sian & Chris, June 2024
The best day celebrating the marriage of my bestie Sian and her fabulous husband Chris. The venue is breath taking and enables all to dance the night away. the staff are amazing and go the extra mile. the farmhouse was the perfect home from home, lots of space for pre wedding excitement and post wedding debriefs, just fab!
Harriet, June 2024
Thank you so much to all the team at The Ridgeway Barns! We had the pleasure of working with Louisa and Jess who both went above and beyond for us both and were incredibly flexible and accommodating to all our needs. They both could not have done more for us and made the planning process easier because of it. The house itself was perfect for our intimate wedding and The Old Stables was ideal for getting ready on the day too! The day would not have been the same if it wasn’t for the gardens which are incredibly well kept and beautiful.
Tom & Lilya, June 2024
Hi Georgina,
We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you so much for everything in the run up to, and across, this weekend. The day itself was better than we’d hoped and you and all of the staff were amazing; attentive but calm and relaxed. So many of our friends and family have said how stunning the venue is and we feel really lucky to have been able to start married life at Ridgeway Barns.
Victoria & Tom, June 2024
What a fantastic day we had! The Ridgeway Barns is a dream wedding location with an amazing team to guide you through the planning maze and to run the day for you to ensure everything is just perfect. We were so lucky with the weather and we married outside in the gazebo with a jaw dropping backdrop of gorgeous countryside. The threshing barn looked fabulous where we had our wedding breakfast and also the evening party with bar and disco. I cannot recommend this venue enough it is just perfect.
Debz & Darren, May 2024
My daughter had her wedding reception there on Tuesday. We couldn’t fault the venue, the staff or the overnight accommodation. Everything was magnificent and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone looking for somewhere to hold their special event.
Donna & Bryan, April 2024
We took a gamble on The Ridgeway Barns when we viewed and booked it for our wedding in November 2023, before it was finished. We trusted their vision and they pulled it off amazingly, it was even better than we imagined! Louisa communicated perfectly throughout and made us feel relaxed during the planning process. Even our 3 dogs were welcomed when they popped in for photos on the day. Everything went to plan on the day, all our guests complimented the venue and décor. Thank you Louisa and team!
Lucy & Joe, November 2023
A beautiful venue for the wedding weekend of our dreams! From start to finish, Louisa and the team at The Ridgeway Barns helped us every step of the way to make our special day a reality. Set in a beautiful location, the venue itself is not only stunning but so well thought through. Having the venue for the full weekend enabled us and our families to enjoy every moment of our celebrations!
Sophie & Harry, September 2023
Oh my goodness, we’re speechless! You guys rock! You made our wedding the best day ever. The effort, the detail, and clearly the venue ~ it was soooooooo AMAZING! We really hope in some way you all enjoyed it as much as we did.
Tracy & Jamie, September 2023
Thank you for the most extraordinary wedding weekend. We and our guests have loved every minute of it. The house and the grounds are absolutely beautiful and the perfect setting for our wedding. All of our guests were blown away by the location and how the day ran so smoothly ~ it’s all the little details that are considered and taken care of. We will treasure our time here forever.
Matilda & Chris, September 2023
Special places and special people make for memorably special days, and so it should be no surprise that our wedding was just those things. What a wonderful weekend we’ve had for our wedding, we really could not have picked a more perfect venue. All of our guests were blown away by the house, the view & the barn. You’ve been so supportive and the way the whole day seamlessly tied together and flowed from beginning to end was in no doubt due to the efforts of all the team. Louisa & team you have been amazing and your tireless efforts over the last year and a half are very gratefully appreciated.
Emily & Aaron, September 2023

The Ridgeway Barns will forever be a special place to us.
Lauren & Arthur, August 2023
Gosh, what a house! We knew we wanted somewhere both homely and confy, but also fancy for our wedding, but didn’t know we would find somewhere so perfect. All our family stayed for the whole bank holiday weekend – we had the most perfect wedding. All organised so professionally, you even sorted the weather!
Rachel & Paris, May 2023
We had the most amazing wedding at The Ridgeway Barns. It was so special to have use of the barn, which is the most beautiful of settings ~ everything is so stunning here.

Kim & Sean, April 2023
We got married at The Ridgeway Barns in July 2022 and genuinely cannot praise the location, house, organisation and Louisa highly enough. Louisa helped us stay on track, liaised with all of our suppliers and managed the deliveries and the timings to ensure our day went absolutely perfectly. We can’t thank Louisa, Becky, Alex and their team enough for creating our perfect wedding day. It really was the best day of our lives! We recommend this venue to everyone!
Lauren & Matt, July 2022
Thank you so much for making our son and his new wife’s wedding day such a fantastic occasion. From arrival at the house on Friday to leaving on Sunday, the whole experience was amazing. What you have achieved is phenomenal! Your attention to detail in all of the rooms has ensured they each have retained their own character whilst being to the highest standard. Louisa – your professionalism in ensuring every need was anticipated and fully met, while remaining calm and cheerful was exemplary, and the staff were fabulous. You went above and beyond, and we cannot thank you enough.
Andy & Chris, July 2022
We wanted to say a huge thank you for what was truly the best day of our lives. Louisa has been amazing from the start to finish. Everything was so efficiently and discreetly done, from moving the benches, to guests being served at the bar, to the candles being lit, it was really impressive.
The Ridgeway Barns venue is stunning ~ the grounds and house are immaculate, and it was amazing to have such creative freedom to make our wedding so personal to us. Thank you so much for making all this possible!
Eve & Millie, May 2022
It was a pleasure to work with Louisa and her team as we planned for our wedding in July 2022. The venue is absolutely stunning, and our wedding day was made so special. Louisa was on top of everything – very professional and responsive to all our questions. She ensured to coordinate with all our vendors so we didn’t have to worry on the day. We wish we could do it all over again! We would have no hesitation in recommending you have your wedding at The Ridgeway Barns.
Karol & Matt, July 2022
Gosh, what a weekend, what a wedding! We cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did for us all, absolutely outstanding! The venue was absolutely perfect and nowhere else on earth would have been anywhere near as perfect as there. We feel very blessed we were able to nab that weekend and pull off what we did. With huge thanks in our hearts.
