Struggling to Find A Venue

Are you planning a civil ceremony? if so then your best best is to get in touch with your local county council to get a complete list of all their licensed venues and work from that.

eta: when are you thinking of getting married?

I went to a wedding on saturday that was in a lovely old house the bride and groom had booked for the weekend. There were about 20 of us, but you could hire the whole place for 40 people (with barns etc). They also had a chef and waitresses you could hire but the groom did all the cooking (I would have had a breakdown). may be too far for you as the houses are in the peak district/Derbyshire but the website is party houses.co.uk.

may be worth a look-it was a lovely wedding

I don't know if Kent is too far for you, but thought I'd reply just in case. We are getting married at Cooling Castle Barn, it's made up of three renovated barns and can cater for however big or small/relaxed etc you want your wedding to be: https://www.coolingcastlebarn.com/

I don't know whether it's what you had in mind but thought I would post it just in case, obviously in my opinion it's a beautiful venue!

You don't say what your budget is so apologies if these are way off the mark:

The Tithe barn in Petersfield, Hampshire is lovely x

Thank you so much!!! The Barn at Bury Court is stunning and perfect and only minutes from our house....how did we not know about it!?! Especially as my other half is born and bred in Farnham!!!

You have made me really quite excited now!!

When my fiance and I were looking, we had a look at this place:

https://www.greyfriarshouse.co.uk/

The only reason we didn't book it was that we had too many people and couldn't cut the guest list any more!

It's a family home, but is licensed. They only do 20 weddings a year so it's a bit exclusive. It has nice gardens with a gorgeous view over the Surrey hills and it's close to Guildford, so it's easy to get to.

The couple who own it and run the weddings were so helpful and friendly, and you could pretty much do what you liked, so there was a way of personalising it.

I was a bit disappointed that we couldn't use that place!

I'd recomend having a look if you think it's your type of thing.

Hope that might be of some help!

Bury Court Barn is lovely...

Farnham House Hotel, very close too, quite small and intimate.

Gate Street Barn in Bramley is lovely.

Loseley House has a great Tithe Barn.
