Testimonials

The Tythe Barn is the most magical place to get married. We could not have put our faith in a better team. We cannot thank The Tythe Barn enough for a truly unforgettable experience. You have given us memories that are unique and beautiful and that we will treasure forever.

From the moment we first visited the barn, everyone was so welcoming, friendly and willing to help in any way they could. Between the 18 months of booking the barn and right up to the wedding day, the staff were only ever a phone call or email away and no question was ever too much. The wedding day itself exceeded every expectation and dream we ever had. The day was beyond perfect; from the beautiful barn, to the amazing food and the best staffing team, we can honestly say the entire day left us smiling and will continue to make us smile every time we think about it. The only thing we would change is that we wished the day would never end. The Nook was fantastic. We had 9 people getting ready in there and there was plenty of space to accommodate for that many people. It was so lovely to be there as all the suppliers turned up and watching Laura and the team set up the day. Great facilities for hair, make up and tea coffee etc. We cannot fault it at all. The room for the dress and shoes etc. made the best photos. It was also really helpful to nip in and out for rest of the day to use the toilet, makeup etc. We also had so so many comments from all the guests about the quality of food, and that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. All the food came out so quickly, it was so delish! It was the perfect day, honestly, it exceeded every expectation we ever had. We have both said that for the entire day it was the most we had ever smiled and we smile a lot!

Laura & Richard

The Tythe Barn is the most phenomenal venue, no wonder they have won so many awards. We had our wedding there in May this year and we just wish we could do it all again next year! They have designed the venue down to a tee, it’s stunning and you can tell that everyone really cares. Our wedding day was like a dream come true! We couldn’t have possibly found a better venue. Tina took extremely good care of us on the day and all the staff were so lovely. Oh and the food was just incredible! We are going to be recommending the venue to everyone so that hopefully we can come back soon!!

I don’t have enough words to say how amazing Tythe was, from start to finish the whole experience was just perfection. We visited on an open day which is when we first met Tori, who ended up being our wedding coordinator. She is wonderful. Tythe was the first and only venue we visited. As soon as we walked in we knew it was the venue for us. The barn is beautiful with the fairy lights and exposed brick. The farmhouse accommodation is UNREAL. Everyone who works at Tythe is so welcoming and friendly. Tori was perfect and I couldn’t have wished for a better wedding day coordinator. She went above and beyond to make our day perfect for us it felt like we had a friend with us, helping us on our day. The grounds of the Tythe are stunning and perfect for pictures. The options to have your ceremony inside and outside are both as beautiful as each other and difficult to decide between. Every single one of our friends have commented on how amazing the venue is, and 2 couples have even asked if we would mind if they got married there! Food with absolute taste is PERFECTION. Many comments on the food being the best food they’ve had at a wedding! If I could do it all again I’d go back to Tythe in a heartbeat, no question. Thank you Tythe, especially Tori, for giving us the wedding far beyond our wildest dreams.

What a magical venue, perfect for our autumnal fairy lit wedding. The Farmhouse to stay in is beautiful and perfect to be on-site, lovely addition to have the bridal suite half way to the venue and the venue itself offers everything you could possibly need. A wonderful relaxed atmosphere yet elevated and wedding perfect. The team are really friendly and supportive throughout the process and on the day. Can't thank Tythe enough!
