Very often, barn venues will give couples a choice of
caterers to use so you are not as restricted with menu choice as you would
be with a hotel. Most will allow couples to provide a certain amount of wine
with no or little corkage and can offer to buy the remaining bottles so you do
not have to worry about getting it home! As most are privately owned staff are
very accommodating and bring a natural warmth to your day. And then you have
the picture postcard setting - beautiful countryside and wonderful photograph
opportunities. So, before you dismiss a barn as your wedding venue, go take a
look..... sneeky peak at one of my favourites - Dodford Manor in
Northamptonshire - very new and very lovely - and the owners Simon and
Annabelle are fab too and really do go the extra mile when it comes to
helping you organise your dream day.
