Top Wedding Tips
Always keep the budget in mind, don't just think about the venue cost, keep in mind the catering, photographer, decorations, and entertainment.
When looking for a venue keep space in mind, a venue that is too spread out will segregate guests. Having the bar, dance floor, and food tables in the same area will keep everyone together.
Who are your guests? Children and adults alike will need entertainment throughout the day, its good to plan out the day to keep your guests happy. (Happy kids means happy parents)
Selden Barns Reviews
It’s difficult to know where to start writing this, as my new wife and I had the most amazing experience working with the team at Selden barns and the venue it’s self. We utilised Selden barns for our drinks reception, wedding breakfast, evening celebrations and accomodation. We had our ceremony at a local church, however, there are two beautiful spaces to have a ceremony at Selden barns.
Nicki and her team were beyond fantastic, from greeting us from our first visit, multiple meetings during the run up, coordinating with suppliers and creating and executing the perfect timeline. All of this making our wedding run smoothly on the day. They were faultless! We couldn’t have asked for anymore.
The venue itself was beautifully laid out. A large grass area for us to have an outdoor drinks reception, with lots of shade in case it’s too hot. When it was time for confetti and our wedding breakfast, Nicki and her team expertly handled guiding our guests to exactly where they needed to be.
For the breakfast we had 12 tables plus the top table, there was space for more if we needed. There is a large bar which was utilised by all, as it was a very hot day, our guests weren’t waiting for more than a few minutes before being served drinks. There is a wide selection of soft and alcoholic drinks.
The dedicated dance floor was a big hit with our evening guests, who spent the majority of their time busting some questionable moves.
There is an outside covered seating area with heaters, if needed, which is adjacent to the dance floor with lovely seats with cushions on.
I could go on and on about the superb service we received but I’ll stop there.
We cannot thank Nicki, Ben and the other staff enough for a fantastic day. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone!
I was in love with selden barns the moment I saw it. I loved the fact that everything was all in one area so guest would be able to spread out but still be together.
It was the most beautiful setting, and the staff are absolutely amazing. Nothing was to much for them to help you with.
They helped make our day so very special.
All of our guest were in awe of the setting and said how lovely the place was. I can't thank you enough for making our day so special.
We just wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for everything you did to make our wedding day so incredible. The venue looked absolutely stunning, and we received so many lovely compliments from our guests about what a beautiful location it was.
A special thank you to Saoirse, Nicki, and the team at breakfast the next morning, apologies, I can't remember the names of the two gentlemen (one gentleman was particularly funny and added a lovely touch to breakfast) you were all so accommodating, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. It's clear to see you all enjoy your work.
You all went above and beyond to make our day and the following morning so memorable, and we are so grateful for everything.
5.0
We can’t recommend Selden Barns enough. Nicki, Ben and their team delivered on every level. From the first visit to the big day itself we were swept away by the dedication, kindness and professionalism. Nicki’s eye for detail and ability to liaise with all the different suppliers was fantastic. They ran the actual day itself like clockwork and with smiles on their faces at all times. It so good to deal with people who clearly enjoy their job. Thank you to everyone at the stunning Selden Barns for making our big day that little bit more special.
