Testimonials

Comments from our clients below, some of them had a very clear idea of how they wanted their wedding day to be, and others worked it out as they went along. We always listen to our clients and their families so that rather than just running the same wedding each week we can make sure we understand what they require from us, our staff and the venue. It's a great challenge, which we strive to achieve with as little fuss as possible, thank you to all our former clients for their lovely letters of thanks.

Now that the dust has settled, Leanne and I would like to just say a huge thank you to you both and your lovely staff for making our special day extra special.
There was not one thing we could fault you on to be honest. Everything was wonderful from the food at the wedding breakfast to the exceptional breakfast on the Sunday.
Lots of people commented to us about what a lovely place it was and said that it was by far the best wedding that they had been to, plus Justin your DJ and his band were excellent
We hope to see you again in the not too distant future.
Andy and Leanne Cunningham

Dear Nicole and John,
It feels very much like being in cold turkey treatment now there's no wedding to plan, and no emails and chats with you two. We will come and see you soon to say thank you properly, but really our wedding day was better and more beautiful than we could ever have hoped and dreamed of. Thank you. I have met my organisational match with you Nicole, everything was perfect! And thank you finally for organising the weather too - a miraculous three days!
Hope you are both well, and thank you again for a magical day.

Dear John and Nicole,
I just can't thank you enough for making Sophie and Paul's wedding such a splendid occasion. Everything went so well thanks to your care and expertise. The catering was superb...everyone remarked on it! Especially that gorgeous ham! Please pass on my gratitude to your staff, who without exception, were utterly charming and helpful. I know that the 'newly weds' were thrilled by it all and will thank you separately, but I just wanted to pass on my appreciation, would love to repeat the experience but have run out of daughters!

Many many thanks,
Jonathan

Andrew and I would both like to thank you for making Elizabeth and Richard's Wedding Day such a success. We were extremely impressed by the organization and support from everyone at Bateman's Barn.

Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely and the day was reported by the youngsters as "An amazing and awesome wedding!" There can be no greater accolade!
