We can’t wait to get married there and see everything come together!




We booked our wedding with White Dove Barns in 2018 for 2020, and due to COVID, had to postpone this to 2021. They were so supportive during the postponement, and in early 2021 we continued to plan for our new date together.
We visited the venue quite a few times before the big day and went through all the details to make sure we were happy with them. Spencer was so accommodating to whatever we wanted.
Our family arrived the day before the wedding and we had a buffet in Dove Barn as a casual get together as everyone had travelled a long way. The food was amazing, thank you Stuart.
On the wedding day, Spencer and the team were amazing. Everyone commented on how well run the day was, how amazing the food was and what a beautiful venue it is!
So in summary, thank you Spencer, Stuart and the team for giving us the most amazing few days. It was all we had wished for and more!

The food was above and beyond our expectations and Stuart the chef and his team could not have been more accommodating in meeting our preferences and dietary requirements. Many of our guests commented saying it was the best wedding food that they have ever had.
Spencer and his team struck a fine balance perfectly, between being available to help and letting us do our own thing.
The accommodation was excellent and we were so happy to find a venue to sleep so many in such comfort and quality. It goes without saying the bridal sweet was perfect, especially the natural lighting to aid your make up artist. The bed in the bridal sweet was so comfortable we now want to buy a new bed!!! The Dove Barn is a fantastic facility to host a welcome party the evening before your wedding for guests. We would highly recommend this as it allowed all of our guests to get to know each other before the big day.
The wedding barn and ceremony areas make for a beautiful setting, so much so that we decided to tone down the decoration as the barn speaks for its self.
Overall an outstanding wedding venue with so much adaptability and quality. We honestly wouldn’t change a thing about our day. With all our love and future wishes to brides and grooms Mr and Mrs Findlay x

From the beautiful wooden beams, the fantastic gardens and quaint courtyards and the abundance of high quality accommodation we couldn’t be more pleased when we were able to book our dream date 3 years ago.
Although communication was somewhat slow at times, when we did speak with the coordinators at White Dove Barns they went above and beyond to answer our questions and solve our queries and I couldn’t ask for a more friendly and helpful team.
When our day finally arrived, 4th August 2021, we couldn’t be happier! It truly was the fairytale that we had hoped for and more! Our guests couldn’t help but comment on the stunning venue and the quality of service! The Chef, Stuart, superseded all expectations creating and serving the most delicious 3 course meal we’ve ever tasted!
Everything about our day was perfect and we can’t thank the team at White Dove Barns enough! x



We booked our wedding at white dove barns back in October 2018 as we fell inlove with every corner of not only the venue itself but the outstanding accommodation and grounds too. (Utterly stunning) We spent many months planning our perfect day with Alison, Spencer and Greg on hand for every little question/query and even though we found communication slow at times nothing was ever to much trouble. Fast forward to 2020 and covid hit the UK you can imagine the stress the team at white dove barns were put under with all their spring/summer weddings (our wedding wasn’t until October) however we sadly received some life changing news which meant our personal circumstances changed and we were forced in to the decision of bringing our wedding forward in a time where all other weddings were being postponed due to government restrictions. Greg and his team spent weeks (months) assisting us back and forth with our plans which would change daily at times due to the covid restrictions and our personal circumstances but the team went absolutely above and beyond to ensure that we still had our perfect day with our loved ones there to see! The level of compassion and support we received was second to none, we couldn’t recommend white doves barns enough. Any business can provide a good service when everything is going smoothly but it is when a business is tested that you really see the level of service they provide and we honestly believe the circumstances could not have been any more difficult for ourselves and for the team at white dove barns yet they put us first.
We are so grateful for everything the team done for us, we had the most perfect ceremony which really could not have gone ahead without Greg’s help not to mention how beautifully the team dressed the barn for our ceremony without us having to lift a finger.
