Magical Wedding at Rivervale Barn

Rivervale Barn is an extraordinary wedding venue. If you are looking to have an outside wedding or a barn wedding where venue and reception space are in the same place this is a perfect venue for you. We got married in the beautiful outside space called The Spinney which was wonderful and something I could have only imagined in my dreams so it was special to actually get married outside. The entire experience from viewing the venue to the wedding day itself was fantastic. The events and catering team are phenomenal and went above and beyond to ensure our small wedding went off without a hitch. The food for our wedding breakfast was delicious and we received lots of compliments on the food. There is a honeymoon cottage onsite which we stayed in on our wedding night, which again is beautifully decorated and very spacious. I honestly cannot thank the events and catering team enough and never will be able to express how amazing each and every one of them were. Thank you for helping us kick off our married life with a bang. We are forever thankful!

Dream Wedding Venue

We cannot fault this venue and the team at Rivervale Barn! We got married in March 2023 and we had the most perfect day. From the moment we registered to view the venue, the team could not have been more helpful. Natasha was our coordinator and she is brilliant; she answered our endless questions quickly and nothing was too much trouble. She checked on us throughout the day and made sure we had everything we needed. On the day, everything went so smoothly and the team made it stress free which is what you want on your wedding . The venue itself is absolutely stunning, it’s great value for money and the food is incredible. The cottage is so perfect and the pamper room is a little added touch which makes the day even more special. The way the venue is laid out means the flow of the day is really good and our guests all said how amazing the day was. It’s a romantic setting, with a beautiful garden and courtyard and is just the most perfect venue for your wedding. The entire team at Rivervale are brilliant and so friendly &professional. Cannot recommend enough!

Absolutely magical

Rivervale Barn is an incredibly beautiful venue, with lots of trees and nature surrounding it. We had issue with our original venue due to covid and we're so thankful for that as Rivervale Barn is beyond perfect. Natasha and the team have been absolutely incredible and we wouldn't have been able to plan the day so smoothly without them! We're hoping we can come back again some time as guests 🤞

The most amazing venue!

We got married at Rivervale Barn a week ago and are still on Cloud 9 after such a wonderful day. From the moment we first stepped into the barn three years ago where we met our wedding planner, Sophie, to the wedding day itself, nothing was too much trouble. Sophie was always positive, supportive (particularly when we had to postpone twice), knowledgeable, calm and so incredibly efficient. We knew our day would be perfect from the way Sophie had handled everything from the moment we met, but our day exceeded our expectations hugely. Our guests couldn't have been more complimentary about the venue, the gardens, the food, the service and the fact that every single tiny detail was thought about by Sophie and the team. We didn't have to think of anything on the day because it had been handled. We couldn't recommend Rivervale Barn and the team more for making our day stress-free, fun, and simply perfect.

We can't thank Sophie and the team enough for helping us to have our dream day, and for bearing with us through postponements and many questions. We cannot recommend the venue more highly!

The perfect day

Where to begin!? We booked Rivervale Barn back in January of 2019, having no idea what was going to happen in the coming years! We were due to get married in October 2020 but had to postpone it 3 times, each time they were so helpful in getting our date moved. We had several planning meetings before the day to ensure everything went just the way we wanted it! When our day finally came in January 2022, it was truly amazing, everything we could have hoped for and more. Truly the most stunning venue. Ash was absolutely brilliant, he knew exactly what we wanted and pretty much set up the venue single handedly so we could focus on getting ready. We couldn't have asked for anyone better! So thank you to Ash and to everyone at the barn, it was perfect.

The best day ever!!

If I could give Rivervale Barn 10 stars, I would!!

As soon as we first saw the venue, we fell in love with it and knew this was where we wanted to get married. From start to finish, the team have been fantastic and have been there every step of the way.

On the actual day, I didn’t have to think once about what I needed to do or where to go. The team were already there, holding my train whilst leaving the pamper room, ensuring we got some of our canapés and even having a tissue and glass of water ready before I walked down the aisle! It sounds like such small things but they honestly made the day run so smoothly and will always be something I remember!

You will not regret booking Rivervale as your wedding venue - I wish we could do it all again!!

The wedding venue of dreams!

Honestly from the beginning of our wedding planning journey to the end they have been amazing. From the minute we were shown around the venue we were made to feel so welcome and special. We had the wonderful Natasha as our wedding coordinator and she was incredible. Throughout the whole planning stage Natasha has been so helpful and understanding. On the wedding day Natasha was all you could have wanted from a wedding coordinator, she allowed the day to run so smoothly and we had no worries at all. She took such a huge weight of our minds on the big day.

Rivervale Barn is the venue of all venues!

My sister is in a wheelchair and this venue is so accessible - my sister felt fully independent and had enough space to move around freely.

I had so many compliments on our wedding day about how beautiful it was! I honestly could not recommend this venue anymore!! Thank you Natasha and team! 🧡

Absolutely no faults, highly recommend

We had our wedding here on 16th February this year and it was honestly so magical. The staff are amazing and I honestly could not find a single fault. Everything I thought I would be anxious or nervous about they completely took off my hands and made the whole day run so smoothly. The food was amazing we also had pizza’s in the evening which I highly recommend. Every single one of our guests said how great the food was. Although I know they do lots of weddings here it felt so personal and I felt really looked after. I have also been here as a guest recently which was another fantastic experience.

Best night of my life

I'd like to start off saying a warm thank you to the rivervale barn, we had our wedding here on the 31.10.22. We cannot thank all the staff enough for ensuring the night ran smoothly, especially Ash whom whilst I was pacing in the halls awaiting to go to the church along with another young gentlemen did a nice job of making small talk with me which really helped calm my nerves a bit!! All in all, its a beautiful venue, we got such amazing garden shots as it was in autumn the colours are truly stunning to behold. The food was gorgeous, and the accommodation after you can retire to was just a bonus. Thank you rivervale barn - Mrs. Marshall

Thank you Rivervale Barn!

We honestly couldn't speak higher of the team at Rivervale, we got married a few weeks ago and it truly was the best day of our lives and so much of that was down to Rivervale Barn. Natasha really was the most amazing wedding planner, she was always there to answer any questions we had leading up to and on the day and reminding us of anything we still had left to organise so that we didn't forget anything. She made us feel so at ease during the planning process to help create our special day. On the day we felt like we could completely relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that everything was taken care of from start to finish by Natasha and the team. The food and drink was absolutely delicious and all of our guests have said how much they enjoyed it. We can't thank Natasha and the team at Rivervale enough for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

Stunning Venue, Wonderful Food!

We were married at Rivervale Barn earlier this week. Natasha, Charlotte and the team did everything to ensure that our day was absolutely perfect.

The venue itself is stunning and we had so many compliments on the wonderful food, and the evening pizza was spot on!

We would not hesitate to recommend Rivervale and it’s wonderful team. You will not be disappointed.

Incredible venue

We are so glad that we chose Rivervale Barn as our wedding venue. Friends & family keep commenting how perfect it was. The spaces inside & out were gorgeous, but we were particularly impressed on the day with how fantastic all the staff were. Particular thanks to our events manager Ash for everything from the overall organisation down to the tiny details like picking petals from our roses for confetti! The whole team including waiting staff were so brilliant, kind, cheerful and helpful. The catering team provided incredible food including vegan/veggie options, better than many restaurants. Thank you!
