Cripps Barn Testimonials

This is a stylish venue set in gorgeous countryside with the main building being a lovely converted barn. The venue lends itself to being decked out with beautiful flowers and looked a treat on the day. Planning was aided by detailed and sympathetic input from the CB team. The drinks and food service on the day was simply superb and in particular the food (the Feast Menu), which was excellent and copious! Throughout, the staff were attentive to the needs of the Bride and Groom and all the guests. Cripps Barn is not cheap, but on the other hand one gets what one pays for. A truly memorable day.

— Father of the Bride, July 2024

Outstanding place, 100% outstanding staff (everyone went the extra mile and the weather was so hot). The food was another level. Thank you chef and team. As mother of the groom all I did was enjoy the day. 5 stars, I would give more if i could.

— Mother of the Groom, July 2024

Where do we begin? Cripps Barn was the most insane setting for our wedding day. From start to finish the Cripps team were incredible, every question was responded to so promptly and on the day Aimee was the best coordinator. We couldn’t fault anything!
The wedding breakfast and evening food was incredible, our guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever tasted! We also would definitely recommend the feast nights to try all the different offerings they do. A great way to see the venue as well with suppliers. We are so glad we chose Cripps as our venue, we want to do it all over again! We can’t thank the team enough.

— Alice & James, June 2024

Stop thinking about booking Cripps and just book it.
Yes Cripps Barn is stunningly beautiful and a perfect venue - you will see this for yourself.
Yes the food will be the best wedding food your guests will ever have - you'll find this out yourself at one of their feast nights.
But the bit that won't be obvious until the day is how calm Cripps will make you feel. You might think that Cripps is a touch expensive and you might be tempted to try somewhere cheaper but similarly beautiful, or even to use a dry venue. However, I can't describe the value that the organisation and professionalism of Cripps had on our enjoyment of the day.
This leads on to Emily, our wedding coordinator. Nothing was too much effort, she was unflappable - despite the endless, very specific requests from us. In the build up we had our meeting and call to run through details and on the day I dropped off our various decorations and went through the specifics. Emily was all over it like it was the easiest thing in the world. When I turned up a few hours later for the ceremony everything was done to perfection. She kept us calm and relaxed and ensured we enjoyed every moment, taking us off for a quiet moment after our ceremony so we could breathe. We weren't worried about the cake table, or the band set up or whether the bridesmaids had the confetti - it just got done. Emily was present throughout the day but never in our space nor commanding much of our attention, she struck the balance perfectly.
It's clear that Emily loves her job, which showed through the whole day. But one moment where this was particularly evident, that we only saw after, was during my wife's speech. Esther had written a song to perform on the piano, and we filmed it. In the background of the video you can see Emily, hiding at the back with a huge smile beaming while watching. We even saw her wipe away a tear despite the countless wedding speeches she must have watched!
For us, the value in booking somewhere like Cripps is how they will make you feel. Our worries in the build up were minimal and on the day nonexistent thanks to Emily and the Cripps team.

— Esther & Tim, June 2024

We photographed and filmed our first wedding at Cripps barn last week and fell in love with the venue. A highlight was the cosy barn interior, fairy lights, tea lights and open fire which made a perfect backdrop for pictures. We were also lucky enough to grab some dreamy shots of our lovely couple in the buttercup fields. We hope to return one day.
Thanks to the team at the barn for looking after us so and being so welcoming (food was also yummy!).

— Powder and Pearls Weddings, June 2024

Cripps Barn made our dream wedding come true. An incredible venue with the most amazing team who answered every question we had and made us feel nothing but ease on the day and in the build up. Every guest raved about the food, the hospitality, and the decorations and we couldn’t have agreed more.

— Sophie & Chris, May 2024

As a wedding photographer who's had the pleasure of working at many different venues across the UK, I can say without a doubt that Cripps Barn is one of the best rustic barn settings around. Nestled amongst the iconic rolling hills and stone villages of the Cotswolds, this venue provides an idyllic, quintessentially English countryside backdrop for couples' celebrations.
From the moment you turn down Cripps Barn's picturesque country lane, flanked by stone walls and overhanging trees, you get a sense that you're in for something special. The entrance to the property reveals the magnificently restored 18th century Cotswold stone barn structures. It's a scene that instantly puts you at ease and immerses you in the laid-back, welcoming ambiance Cripps is known for.
Ceremony options at the venue range from a candle lit elegance of the stone barn offering a stunning indoor location to exchange vows as the fire flickers away. Or they can go for an utterly romantic outdoor ceremony beneath the dappled shade of the estate's trees, allowing nature to frame their celebration.
No matter which they choose, the possibilities for beautiful indoor vs outdoor photography are endless. The picturesque courtyard gardens are perfect for the drinks reception. While the rolling lawns and countryside fields provide a truly stunning naturalistic backdrop for capturing those candid, vibrant moments as the newlyweds celebrate with their guests.
As day turns to evening at Cripps, the converted barns take on an ambient, almost magical feel. I'm always in awe at how the soft interior lighting accentuates the rustic timber beams, lending a warm, intimate glow that allows the personalities of the couples and their guests to simply shine. From joyous sparkler exits to lively dance parties built around custom music and entertainment requests, Cripps provides the perfect setting for couples to let their hair down and celebrate late into the night.
Whether you're a city-dwelling couple seeking an idyllic rural escape, or born-and-raised in a nearby Cotswolds village, Cripps Barn offers a truly warm welcome and distinctive setting for marking your marriage celebrations. With its seamless blend of rustic charm, modern amenities and tailored luxury, it's an absolutely unbeatable venue for an incredible barn wedding experience.

— Richard Skins Photography, May 2024

We honestly had the most wonderful day. Emily and the Cripps team were just fantastic and we had so many comments from people about how amazing the venue looked and how incredible the food was. My Uncle (thank you for arranging for him to have the sausage and mash) even ate a whole chocolate brownie which is the most he's eaten in a long time and his family were all thrilled! The day was everything we wanted and more, super chilled with great food and people and that was partly made possible by how amazing the venue team were, they were incredibly efficient and professional but also chilled and made our wedding feel incredibly personal which we're so grateful for. Thank you for the card as well, that was a really kind thought and a lovely touch. I honestly find it difficult to put into words how much were both loved the day and how grateful we are to the Cripps team. Thank you so much!

— Danica & Oli, April 2024

We cannot thank you, Aimee and all the staff at Cripps enough. Our wedding was honestly the best day of our lives and that is thanks to everything you provided on the day and all of your help in the planning. We couldn’t have asked for more. It’s was the most perfect venue for us.

— Rachel & Sam, April 2024

Cripps Barn is a truly magical wedding venue with exceptional staff. Nothing was ever too much effort and they made the process as easy as possible from our first interaction to our post wedding communications. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more and will always have the happiest memories from our wedding day because of this.

— Kathryn & Shaun, April 2024

We got married at Cripps Barn on the 4th of April and wow. They dealt with everything and made our day perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better day at the Cripps team are a massive part of that. All we can say is thank you and we are so glad we chose Cripps for our special day. The venue is beautiful, staff are amazing and overall what a perfect day

— Luke & Amy, April 2024

My wife and I recently married here in March 2024, the venue is just stunning, a great space to dine and entertain guests surrounded by gorgeous countryside. The staff could not do enough for us and in fact on the day it was commented that although they were present delivering a seamless experience, you barely noticed that the staff were there. The quality of the food produced was another consistent comment from our guests, it was delicious. Cripps really looked after us throughout the process leading up to, during and after the wedding. Couldn’t fault it.

— Aimee & Ian, March 2024

Cripps always delivers! Sensational food, considerate and organised staff, a great setting with wonderful spaces both inside and out meaning it suits weddings anytime of the year. I captured Charlotte and Dash's wedding where they were lucky enough to hold their ceremony outside and had drinks on the terrace with garden games setup for guests. The barn is very atmospheric and is well appointed for hosting the wedding breakfast, there is a separate area of the barn for the dancing, meaning the room doesn't need to be turned around before the party starts! There are also plenty of locations to take couples for photos: around the barns and gardens, or even into the nearby field. I can highly recommend this venue!

— Simon Biffen Photography, February 2024

A dream venue to photograph a wedding at! The day ran smoothly thanks to the coordinator's involvement, the food was excellent, the building has a rustic charm, and the grounds are lovely even though the weather wasn't great. A top location and would recommend to all couples. Thank you to the team for looking after myself and my assistant so well.

— Barbara Asboth Photography, January 2024

I would like to thank you and congratulate you on providing the most fabulous venue for my Daughter Georgina’s and Jack’s wedding day held on the 22nd December.
The Barn and outside areas were set up beautifully. The food and drink was excellent.
I would especially like to thank and comment on the very professional management of the wedding team, James, Aimee and Emily, the chefs, serving team and bar staff.
A special mention for Aimee, our wedding coordinator and front of house manager on the day. Aimee had it planned and executed superbly!

— Parents of the Bride, December 2023

Daf and I want to express our enormous thanks towards every team member that made our day run so smoothly and perfectly. So many of our guests commented on how lovely the staff were and how seamless everything was!
Emily- you were wonderful and made us feel relaxed as soon as we arrived, even though it was during a storm. And Jake was fantastic, too, on hand all evening to ensure everything ran smoothly.
We had the most perfect wedding day and are just so grateful to have booked with you.

— Hannah & Daf, December 2023

I cannot recommend Cripps Barn highly enough as a wedding venue for a truly special day. The service and organisation was fantastic from the moment we booked, right through to collecting our things the next morning. James, Aimee, Toby and the team are constantly working to ensure everything is perfect and the venue itself is just stunning. The only negative is that we can't rebook and do it all again!

— Olly & Alicia, October 2023

Where to start! We can’t thank you enough for all you did to make our wedding day so special on Saturday, as well as being so helpful and supportive through all the prep. Since we first saw the barn with Aimee in August 2022 (another hot day!) it’s been such a magical time and a big part of that was due to our experience with your team, and Aimee in particular. Your team is everything we could ask for in our main supplier - reliable, friendly, supportive, genuine and fabulously organised. We knew our day was in the most capable hands and you honestly went above and beyond. From managing the surprise band for our guests, having the BEST veggie feast menu, ensuring no one went hungry or thirsty all day (we had so many compliments on the mocktails, canapés and pizza as well as our ‘main event’ feast and wine) and keeping us calm when we ended up needing a stand-in photographer, you all were the ‘glue’ that made our day what it was. Can’t thank you enough, or recommend you highly enough to other couples choosing a venue.

— Poppy & Will, October 2023

We cannot say enough amazing things about Cripps Barn. Our wedding day was perfect from start to finish, thanks to the incredible Cripps team. We have had so many comments about how amazing the food was and how stunning the venue is, both inside and outside. The team put us both at ease on the day and a special thanks to Emily for keeping us and all of our boisterous guests in order!! It was a magical day that we will never forget - THANK YOU!!!!

— Beth & James, October 2023

Literally perfect. Our daughter’s wedding was on September 28th 2023, I cannot recommend Cripps Barn highly enough. The atmosphere, food, venue, staff, location. We had the perfect day and everyone absolutely loved the day in every way. Perfect 👌

— Father of the Bride, September 2023

We both wanted to say thank you so much for everything and for making Sunday 3rd September such a fabulous day for us, but also for our family and friends. Everyone loved it! The food, drinks, staff, venue and setting were all just perfect. Not to mention the weather which was quite frankly unbelievable. I am sure it can be a bit daunting turning up to your wedding venue on the day having never been there before or met anyone in person, but we had zero worries or concerns. Everything was managed to perfection. We have incredible memories which will last us a lifetime. 

— Shelley & Rob, September 2023

We definitely had our best day on Sunday, and it is all thanks to you! We have received countless compliments from the guests about how amazing the venue was and everything was so lovely and well organised. I personally, and I'm sure Kurtis as well, are so grateful for your professionalism, and attention to detail leading up to and on our wedding day. You helped make everything run smoothly and ensured we could fully enjoy our celebration without having to worry about a thing. So we just want to send you all a heartfelt thank you for the amazing work you did!

— Trang & Kurtis, September 2023

The location, the food, the team, the barn. Beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day on our wedding day. We had an issue with our seating plan getting lost in delivery so we managed to get a replacement to arrive on our wedding day at Cripps, which was nerve racking because we didn't know if that would show up, but it arrived and James put it all together without us even knowing!
The photographer we booked also loved the venue so much and was so excited to edit our photos that we received them 2 months early. The children on the day had the best time running through the woods and fields.
The evening firepits and fairy lights made it my favourite part of the day.
Our family and friends, and us of course, stayed at The Stump which is a 5 min drive from the venue. I believe it is under the same company because we were served breakfast by one of the people that served us dinner at the wedding the day before. This was lovely because we had a great chat to her about it and kept the celebration going.
Thank you to all of the team at Cripps Barn for an unforgettable time of our life.

— Hattie & Josh, September 2023

Cripps Barn really is the most special place to get married. From the stylish decor to the delicious food and the most professional and organised staff, we couldn’t have wished for a better place to experience our special day. All the guests loved it!!!

— Emma & Tom, September 2023

It was honestly the most magical day! The venue is absolutely beautiful we fell in love with it as soon as we walked into it. The team is incredible, they made everything so easy for us. Our guests absolutely loved the food!! We cannot fault anything. We highly recommend this venue to everyone.

— Jessica & Jack, September 2023

We held our wedding at Cripps barn on the 21.09.2023. After lots of planning and build up the day finally arrived, we are so glad we settled on Cripps Barn for our big day. Everything went as expected and we are left with memories we will cherish forever. Thank you to all the team that made everything run smoothly both in the run-up planning sessions and on the day itself. For anyone looking to tie the knot here, the facilities are breath-taking, and the food is unreal. 3-weeks have past, and our guests are still commenting on how nice the food was. Thank you so very much for making our day so special.

— Shaun & Chloe, September 2023

We don't know where to start. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU CRIPPS BARN for hosting the most amazing wedding, beyond our wildest dreams. It was without a doubt the best day of our lives and we are so grateful to you and your fabulous team for making sure the entire day ran so smoothly and perfectly. We just wish we could do it all over again, it was truly incredible and we have had so many compliments from our family and friends about the friendly and helpful service, the unbelievable food, the beautiful barn setting, just everything, everybody absolutely loved it! The moment we walked into Cripps Barn we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The communication from the Cripps team was brilliant and made planning our wedding so easy and enjoyable. Aimee, who was our Front of House for the day was nothing short of amazing. She looked after us and everything else on the day, was so bubbly and friendly to everyone and nothing was too much trouble, we thank you so much Aimee! James was also incredible during our planning meeting and throughout and all of the staff on the day helped make the day run so smoothly. Everything was a 10 out of 10 and just stunning. Do not hesitate to book your wedding at Cripps Barn, you definitely will not be disappointed. Thank you again to the Cripps team for helping to make our most special day the best day of our lives!

— Danielle & Matt, August 2023

We had our wedding at Cripps Barn last weekend and there are no amount of words to express just how fantastic it was. From start to finish the Cripps team have been nothing short of incredible. Every single guest commented on how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was and how tentative the staff were. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more! A special thank you has got to go to Aimee. She was absolutely put on this planet to do weddings. Her work ethic and general passion shines through and I can hand on heart say our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was without her every step of the way. We hope we are lucky to attend a wedding there again as once just isn’t enough. Thank you again for everything!
— Abby & Cam, August 2023

I will only say, I knew I wanted to get married at Cripps Barn, the moment I laid eyes on an Instagram post on my explore page. Cripps Barn was everything my husband and I wanted: intimate, rustic, gorgeous and most importantly, the food had amazing reviews. Once we visited, we had no doubts this was the place for us and we didn't consider any other venue. We knew we were in great hands from the start. James, Aimee and Meg were incredibly helpful and clear through their portal, which was great because it had a chat function, and sections with all the details of our day.
On the day, Meg and Abi were our coordinators and my goodness, we didn't have to worry about a thing! Food was incredible, Cripps was amazing, and everything was taken care of for us. We received so many compliments from our friends and family and everyone mentioned how delicious the food was (the potatoes and the chocolate brownies in particular). Thank you also to all the kitchen and bar staff, we had an absolute perfect day!

— Jason & Silvia, August 2023

Wow! What a special place to have had as our wedding venue. Cripps Barn is the most gorgeous place with stunning views inside and outside. The staff are very approachable, polite and knowledgeable, and go above and beyond to make you and your day feel and be as special as it should. The feast night idea is fantastic, to be able to taste and choose your menu and also meet and talk to other future Cripps brides and grooms. We also found the Cripps website amazing, and used a lot of their fantastic recommendations for suppliers, including our amazing photographer (Lush Imaging). All of our guests commented on how beautiful the barn was and also how scrumptious the food was. We were particularly impressed with the excellent quality of catering for our guests with a variety of dietary requirements, who happily had ample food to enjoy on the day! Thank you to James and the rest of the team at Cripps Barn for making our wedding the best day of our lives. My husband and I wish we could do it all again, and we would choose Cripps Barn every single time!

— Natalie & Matt, August 2023

We’re not quite sure that any amount of ‘thank yous’ we say will truly do justice to our gratitude and admiration for yours and your teams’ support, guidance, generosity, flexibility, professionalism, kindness and genuine warm nature from the moment we first contacted Cripps Barn right through to our wedding day itself and thereafter. We always said we loved how much we clicked with you Aimee at our planning meeting so having you as our venue manager was special. And Emily - what a night manager superstar! Like a fairy - always busy, always helpful, always available, but so subtle and blended in, in your movements (or maybe we were just SO loud and joyful)…
Having worked in the events background for many years, across the globe, I (Holly) can honestly say I have never met a team, venue, or kitchen crew more incredible than you guys. Everything was perfect, nothing was any hassle, the small things were always considered and always important, the attention to detail was unparalleled, the attitude was always positive, the food and service was out of this world… that’s rare but so so valued and noticed.
You made our lives not just easier but more exciting during our wedding planning journey.
You completely brought our vision to life on the day - I took a few moments alone to soak it all up, admire it all, and it really was everything I could have dreamed of. So thank you.
The comments we keep receiving “the venue is like no other, and the food is the best I have, and will ever have at a wedding”…”THAT HALIBUT SALAD…THAT BEEF”.
So all we can say is you guys rock. Cripps Barn, Aimee, and all the team will forever have a big place in our hearts. 

— Holly & Joe, July 2023

We would like to say a HUGE thank you for helping make Wednesday the best day of our lives!!
Everything was perfect and Meg was just fabulous we couldn’t sing her praises enough.

— Michelle & Iain, July 2023

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all for making our wedding day so special. We had an amazing day! 
The barn was perfect & many of our guests absolutely loved it!
Big thank you to Meg & Chloe also for being our front of house managers, & specifically to Meg who we thought was amazing throughout the day & made our big moments really easy & special, & we didn't stress at all. 
Thank you also for our wedding card, we thought it was really thoughtful & we are going to frame it to remember our special day.

— Jake & Georgina, July 2023

Where to even begin, you are all phenomenal! I am a control freak with a clear vision and my god, did you deliver and put me so at ease. There was so much trust and it all felt so relaxed.
Cripps Barn is absolutely stunning and we can't wait to be back - we've already said we're renewing our vows here in 10 years time!! Everyone has been raving about how beautiful the venue is and the day as a whole and we genuinely couldn't be happier. 
Meg, James - thank you thank you thank you. We love you both so much and you absolutely made our day and the lead up to the wedding.

— Victoria & Paul, July 2023

We had our wedding reception at Cripps Barn in July, and it was perfect - the food was fantastic, the surroundings are absolutely stunning, and the service was excellent. There's nothing I would have changed about the day, and guests loved the venue.
In the run up to the day, Meg and James were responsive and helpful, and put our minds at ease with their professionalism. We were able to relax knowing that they know exactly what they are doing and would be able to handle any last minute hiccups! Would recommend Cripps Barn to anyone.

— Kate & Hugh, July 2023

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for everything but especially to Aimee for everything she did on the day, she was so great and really made everything feel so relaxed and under control so we could enjoy it all. My dad in particular wanted to say a huge thanks to her as well!

— Debbie & Josh, June 2023

We got married in June 2023 and the whole team at Cripps were so helpful from our initial viewing to booking and planning our big day. The team were so responsive and flexible, even with a last minute change from an error I made. Megan was our front of house for the day. She was so reassuring and made everything run seamlessly and made the day just flow perfectly for us and our guests. The venue just speaks for itself. The main building and the grounds are just stunning and it was everything I ever imagined and more. We had the most amazing day, as did our guests. Thank you to the whole Cripps team!

— Katie & Sam, June 2023

The PERFECT wedding venue. Cripps Barn was the first venue we looked at for our wedding, and we completely fell in love - none of the others we viewed came close. The team are amazing - very responsive to any and all questions we had in the booking process and run up to the event through their great online platform (<24hrs to respond), and a special shout out to Meg who was our venue co-ordinator on the day and did the most amazing job to ensure everything ran smoothly and allowed us (and our wedding party) to relax and enjoy ourselves in the knowledge everything was being looked after.
The food was sublime (particularly the chimichurri beef and the chocolate brownies), there was plenty to go around and our guests all commented on how tasty it was! We also thought it was great value for money given the level of service and quality of the venue - including the team setting up all of our decorations and games etc for the wedding breakfast so we could enjoy the morning of our wedding.
One of our bridal party has ended up booking another of the Cripps venues for their wedding because they have seen us having such a good experience.
Quite simply an amazing team and venue, and we really cannot recommend them highly enough!

— Ellen & James, June 2023

Oh my goodness, thank you for the most incredible day, we are honestly blown away and it truly exceeded our expectations. We are literally still buzzing from it and I can’t tell you how many people have told us they had the best day ever and the best wedding they’ve been to. Obviously the glorious weather helped and we had some amazing suppliers but I’m well aware how hard you worked behind the scenes to ensure it all went smoothly. Aimee you were incredible, as were you Emily. And what a long day for you so thank you so much.
We have had amazing feedback about the food too so thank you to the chefs, as I didn’t thank them on the day. Also thank you for cleaning my dress before the ceremony! And ensuring the kiddies were happy. You were all amazing and we are so over the moon that we chose beautiful Cripps Barn. 
Thanks for the dream wedding.

— Susie & Jonathan, June 2023

We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything. You really helped give us the most special day. We have had lots of comments on how great the venue, food and drinks were. James - thank you for keeping us both calm when we were both very nervous and for helping make the day run so smoothly! Cripps Barn is such a stunning venue and the staff were so helpful in the lead up and on the day itself. Couldn’t recommend this venue more highly.

— Dom & Roxanna, June 2023

We wanted to send a huge thank you for the incredible job you did in hosting our wedding day at Cripps Barn. It was an absolute dream come true and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to tie the knot.
We were impressed by the attention to detail, professionalism and expertise of your team. The level of service provided was outstanding and the staff members were very friendly and attentive.
Thank you in particular to Aimee, James and Emily for guiding us every step of the way, and the coordination and execution in ensuring that every moment flowed smoothly on the day. From the beautifully decorated ceremony space to the stunning reception area, every little detail was thoughtfully arranged to create an unforgettable experience for us and our guests.
Many of our guests complimented how delicious the food was, the exceptional level of service and how well everything was put together.
Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more and we are extremely grateful to the entire Cripps Barn team. The memories we made at Cripps Barn will be treasured forever, and we will always remember the exceptional hospitality extended to us and our loved ones.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day so magical. You truly brought our dreams to life and we will be forever grateful.

— Michael & Emily, June 2023

Thank you so much for everything you have done for us from our initial booking to our special day yesterday.
It was absolutely perfect and it wouldn’t have been possible without you both. 
Aimee, you were an amazing front of house manager! Thank you for all your help setting up our decorations, seeing everything we had envisioned come to life was truly magical.
The kitchen and bar staff did an incredible job too and we received so many compliments on the food.
And also a huge thank you to Emily, especially for all your help trying to help our guests who’s taxi did not turn up.

— Chrissie & Dennis, June 2023

Recently attended a wedding of my friend here, and we all agreed this is an amazing choice of wedding venue. We loved every aspect of this place. Not only that the ceremony hall is very classy, the outdoor area is also stunning and picture perfect. The dinner served was surprisingly delicious!

— Wedding Guest, June 2023

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing weddings at Cripps Barn several times over the last 10 years and they have been absolutely superb every time!
The team are extremely friendly and diligent. Every detail of the wedding day has been considered and the comfort of their clients is obviously of paramount importance.
I’ve always been made to feel very welcome, and the whole wedding day runs smoothly from start to finish.
The barn itself is impeccable; impressive but homely. The materials used are second to none and the whole place has a feeling of luxury and beauty.
The outdoor ceremony space is a bonus not many venues offer, and creates a gorgeous location to get married among the trees. A great option for a sunny day.
The fields at the back are perfect for photos (we used them a lot at different times of the day), and the lawn behind the barn is perfect for games, reception entertainment or just lazing away a summers evening with a Pimms.
I should also mention that the food is delicious!!
Thank you so much for providing my clients with their dream wedding day, they so deserve every happiness and you made this happen. Thank you!

— Sarah Jane Ethan Photography, June 2023

Honestly it was the day of our dreams & so much of that was down to you guys. Especially Aimee & Meg you were both an absolute godsend and I can’t thank you enough. Everyone kept telling me how seamless the day felt & that is 100% down to you. So thank you thank you thank you.
 Thank you again - truly I am still in awe of how the day went.

— Josie & Sam, June 2023

OMG what can I say about Cripps Barn?
This was the first venue we went to look at and we completely fell in love. It is such a beautiful venue with the most perfect surroundings - I've always wanted a rustic, outdoor ceremony and it was like Cripps Barn was pulled straight out of my imagination!
The team were fantastic and so, so helpful. They made the process so easy and Aimee, our event manager was just incredible. She was truly supportive of all of our ideas and was there to hold our hands every step of the way.
They truly went above and beyond to be there for us, and this couldn't be more true than when I lost my mom unexpectedly just 6 weeks before our big day. Aimee and the team were honestly so incredible and understanding, and they did everything they could to support us during the most difficult and emotional time. When the day itself came, Aimee was there to make sure everything was perfect and the day really couldn't have gone any better. Aimee made us feel like we had known her a lifetime and it was almost as if she was just another friend there to support and celebrate with us.
The food was absolutely incredible, and every single person that attended has said it really was the best wedding. Our wedding party in particular has all said they want to go back and relive it all again!
Thank you so, so much to Aimee, James and everyone else at Cripps who helped us create a day that will last a life time. Cripps will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will definitely be back to reminisce at one of the feast nights

— Kate & Niall, May 2023

We both had the most amazing day!
Can I say a massive thank you for all your help and support Meg, you were simply amazing! You helped everything run so smoothly and definitely helped with my nerves prior to the ceremony so again, thank you!
Venue was amazing and we loved just about everything and all of our guests have also commented how wonderful a day it was in such a wicked venue!

— Darren & Lizzy, May 2023

Our guests and ourselves had an amazing time yesterday, and we want to thank you for all the hard work in preparing and organising our wedding. You did a brilliant job! We would also like to thank the hard work of the staff yesterday, and the few sentences in Spanish, which were absolutely fabulous! Our Spanish families were delighted by the food, and trust us, they have high standards when it comes to judging food, so a big thanks to the chefs!

— Alex & Beatriz, May 2023

I just wanted to take time out to say a HUGE thank you for everything you did for us on Sunday. We are so very grateful and we couldn’t fault a thing. The food was insane, the venue looked incredible, you absolutely smashed every single thing out of the bag and I cannot thank you enough! I get so emotional just thinking of it! You guys really are all so amazing at what you do. We had the BEST day ever.
Thank you again.

— Carly & Michael, May 2023

Just a quick email to thank you for all your help and support at Graham & Jess’s wedding yesterday. The day went brilliantly and we all had a terrific time. 
Thank you so much for fitting in and sorting out Matt from SingingSurprise - everyone loved it!  Please also pass on my thanks to James for his support during the evening. 
You have a marvellous venue at Cripps Barn and I’m sure you all have a great time there - I can attest to the fact you guests do!
Thanks again. 

— Father of the Groom, May 2023

We would just like to say a massive thank you for EVERYTHING on the wedding day. Meg, you were honestly amazing and everyone said how fab you and your team were. I’ve felt so relaxed during the planning process because I knew you had everything under control and I wasn’t worried about anything on the day, and that’s all thanks to you! The food and drink were also incredible and I’ve had so many people comment on how amazing it was… especially the dauphinois potatoes!!
Thank you for the best day of our lives.

— Georgia & James, May 2023

First of all we just wanted to say the biggest THANK YOU for the most incredible day on Saturday. It was better than we could have ever imagined. And we were so lucky with the weather to be able to have the first outdoor ceremony of 2023!
We have had so many comments on not only how great the venue was, but how smoothly everything went, and how absolutely incredible the food was - so thank you. Dash and I honestly had the best day of our lives! And a big thank you to Meg for her help on the day - she was incredible!
Thanks again, we are still absolutely buzzing from the day. 

— Charlotte & Dash, May 2023

‘Perfection’ is the only way to describe our wedding and our experience with the team at Cripps Barn. From our very first call to the day of the wedding itself, the team were incredibly supportive, kind and personal. There wasn’t any question too silly or request too difficult - especially from Aimee who managed our planning meeting and was front of house on the day. Quite honestly she made the experience for us, quelled any anxieties and was a welcomed smiling face that guided us effortlessly throughout.
The venue itself is outstanding. Our guests were overwhelmed and impressed by the beautiful surroundings, the incredible food and the amazing staff.
There aren’t enough positive words and phrases to express how grateful we are to the team at Cripps for making our day what it was, thank you.

— Victoria & Chris, May 2023

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Meg and the rest of the Cripps team for helping to ensure we had the best time on our wedding day! Everything was perfect - the barn looked amazing, the tables were set up beautifully, all the staff were so friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. So many of our friends have said what a wonderful venue it was, and that the food was some of the best they've ever eaten!! I don't think the steak or Dauphinois potatoes will be forgotten any time soon! 

We wanted to give a massive shout-out to Meg who was an absolute star on Saturday. Thank you for being so accommodating, calming and friendly throughout. It was so lovely to meet you, and we couldn't be happier with how our day turned out (despite the torrential rain!!).

Thanks SO much again, and we hope we have a chance to come back to Cripps again in the future!

— Georgie & Will, May 2023

Massive thanks you to everyone at Cripps Barn, especially Meg, for making everything we wanted perfect and Emily for looking after everyone at night. It was a fantastic day that went too fast but your venue is AMAZING and everything was so wonderful.

— Kirsty & James, April 2023

We had the most amazing day and can’t thank you enough for helping to make sure everything ran so smoothly.

We received so many compliments on how stunning the venue was and we couldn’t agree more.

Meg - you were absolutely amazing (everyone agreed) and it was so reassuring to have you there to help with everything throughout the day.

The food was incredible and the pizzas went down an absolutely treat

— Sophie & Glen, March 2023

If you are questioning about booking your weeding here...DO IT. Communication was fantastic, they were so accommodating … they made us feel so at ease … they were in control the whole time. The venue was beautiful and so warm. The real candles were such a treat. The food was a highlight for so many which wasn't easy for our veggie wedding. The best day - Cripps Barn was perfect - thank you!

— Clare & Hanad, March 2023

We fell in love with Cripps Barn for a winter wedding the second we saw the roaring fire, fairy lights, wooden eaves and twinkling candles…and it didn’t disappoint, making for the most beautiful venue.

The team of staff there are also utterly brilliant - Aimee, James and Meg - thank you a million times over for your faultless communication, your sense of calm, control and professionalism. You allowed us to have the most amazing, fun and stress-free day!

Massive gratitude to the phenomenal chefs and bar staff too…so many compliments on the delicious food and cocktails.

Thanks again for a wonderful wedding - would recommend Cripps (and I’m sure sister venues) all day every day!

— Rachael & Tom, December 2022

Thank you for making our wedding day the most magical day! It was absolutely flawless from start to finish and we can’t thank you enough. 

The food was incredible, our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! A lot of people said it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding and also the cocktails! Absolutely delicious! Super, super impressed. 

We’re absolutely over the moon and wish we could do it all again!

— Kirstie & Adam, November 2022

We want to say a HUGE thank you to James, Meg and Sally for making our wedding run so smoothly. Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue is and how amazing the staff are.

James and Meg, you made us all feel so happy and comfortable before the walk down the aisle and really helped us feel good the entire day. We will never ever forget how lovely and warm you both are. Thank you so much. And to Sally for making the party run so smoothly too. 

— Daniella & James, November 2022

It is very difficult to put into words what a fantastic day we had last Saturday. The compliments we have received from our guests are endless, the canapés, the starters, the chicken, the tarragon sauce, the dauphinoise potatoes, the crumble, the venue itself, how nice all of the staff were. It was so nice to hear and a true credit to you and all of the team, that such high praise was given on pretty much every aspect of the wedding. 

— Mike and Lisa, November 2022

We had a fantastic wedding at Cripps Barn. There were a never ending flow of compliments from family and friends in the following days! They were always friendly, prompt and professional with the organisation and prep.

This was particularly appreciated since we had our little one year old on our hands. The managers on the day were friendly and efficient - putting us at ease and ensuring each phase of the day flowed smoothly. The food was loved by our most picky and foodie guests :))) And the sound system worked perfectly and sounded superb.

Of course, we got the most incredible photos in the surrounding gardens and countryside. The evening bonfires were well tended and looked even better than in any of the pictures. Everyone was asking - "How did you find this place!?" Thank you Cripps team for being everything we had hoped for!

— Katie and Matt, October 2022

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything! Before booking, we had been told many times about how magical Cripps barn is, how well the staff run weddings and just how it's by far most people's dream venue. I can see why! It was so beautiful! Ran so smoothly and all of your staff were amazing!

— April & Matt, August 2022

Me and my partner could not recommend this venue enough! They delivered our perfect day whilst making the entire experience as easy and relaxing for us as possible. The staff are extremely good at what they do and the venue itself is perfect for a Cotswolds wedding.

— Gus (Groom), June 2022

The biggest thank you to you for making our wedding day the most magical day of our lives!

Everything was absolutely perfect and it couldn’t have run more smoothly, all of the team working were amazing and so attentive of all the guests.

The food was also absolutely out of the this world, we’ve had some many compliments on how amazing it all was (the dauphinoise potatoes WOW).

Thank you so much for all of your help along the way and an ultra special thank you to Aimee and James you are both fabulous!

— Roz and Kurtis, April 2022

You made our day so special and for that I’ll be forever grateful. Everything was perfect, it was all we had ever dreamed of and more.

Aimee you are an asset to Cripps and made our day run so smoothly. Everyone commented on how amazing you were so attentive, kind and nothing was to much trouble.

Thank you thank you and thank you. In the pandemic Cripps as a company handled everything with such compassion and made really tough decisions easier.

 — Verity (Mother of the Bride) April 2022

I wanted to thank you for making our wedding celebration everything we wanted and more.  The day was faultless.  Everything ran exactly to plan as we had discussed in the run up to the day and I can't put my finger on anything relating to the venue that wasn't as I'd wanted.  We loved every second of our long awaited celebration, just as much as we loved our micro wedding with you as well and we will be forever grateful to you for facilitating both events.  Nothing was ever too much trouble for you and I appreciate I can be a real perfectionist so your patience with me was also very much appreciated!!!

As we said on the day, we will feel like there is a hole in our lives now that the weddings have both taken place - you've been such a big part of our lives, James for the past 3 and a bit years and Aimee more recently, that I just can't imagine never speaking with you both again - in fact I feel quite emotional just writing this!  So thank you again - both days were absolutely stunning and a huge part of their success lies with Cripps.  I would recommend you to other couples in a heartbeat.

Also - the food was spectacular and all the guests, as I am sure they do at all your weddings, commented on this!  Our friends are getting married at Hazel Gap next year and I think have chosen some of the same menu items and I can't wait to be able to eat them all over again.

I don't think there is much more I can say, other than a huge heart felt thank you again on behalf of me and Chris.  You made the situation that unfolded in February/March 2020 much easier to bear along the way - so thank you!

 — Emily & Chris, April 2022

Your staff and service truly were absolutely amazing. If your venue wasn’t breathtaking enough, the lovely ladies and gentlemen throughout the day were. From keeping our drinks topped up to the delicious food we had, you really were all so fab.

We all had such a magical day thanks to you all. You have such a fantastic team there.

— Wedding Guest, March 2022

Thank you to the Cripps Barn team for making our wedding day the absolute best!

Flora and Jodie on the day were just exceptional and helped to make for the most incredible day! The quality of the food (OMG - the roast potatoes!!!!), the level of organisation, and the venue to name just a few were all absolutely amazing!

All of our guests said how delicious the food was, the best veggie they've ever eaten at a wedding! We are a couple that is typically known amongst our friends and families as the "organisers" however we didn't have to do a thing. Because you were so fab, we completely relaxed and enjoyed it.

Thank you for seamlessly sorting out little details throughout the day. We had the best day ever - our faces are still aching from smiling! What a venue, thank you again!

 — Lily & Sam, August 2021

We had an absolutely perfect day. All of our guests had a wonderful time and gushed about everything, from the beauty of the venue, to the food, to the attentiveness of all the staff. It was truly magical, so thanks to all the team for putting it together and all the kindness and patience in helping us move our date twice.

 — Nastasia & Michael, July 2021

We had a wonderful day and many of our guests commented on the beauty of the venue as well as the delicious food. Thanks for making our day come together so we could celebrate with all our loved ones.

 — Natasha & Jamie, June 2021

We wanted to say a huge thank you for looking after us so well on Monday; we were made to feel so special and we really felt it was the perfect day. Our guests have said it was magical and emotional, and the best food they'd had at a wedding.

 — Cecily & Mikey, November 2020

You guys are the ultimate professionals, nothing was too much trouble and you made sure we had the best day of our lives.

We can’t even begin to tell you how many compliments we’ve had from our guests about the venue, service and of course the food - we’ve lost count of the amount of times people have told us it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had!

— Laura & Ryan, February 2020

We fell in love with Cripps Barn from the moment we first went to see it – it’s a really special place with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Both the barn and grounds are absolutely beautiful, and once the whole place was aglow with twinkly lights and candles and covered in flowers, it honestly felt magical – the perfect setting for our fairy tale wedding. The food was also absolutely delicious – all our guests said how much they enjoyed the meal.

— Sarah & Alex, November 2019

Thank you to everyone on the Cripps Barn team who contributed to, and helped plan and execute our beautiful, magical wedding day.

 Our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of. The wood smoke smell of the barn was so inviting and homely. The food was fantastic, and it had such a relaxed vibe, which allowed our guests to enjoy themselves and us to feel at home. I always imagined my wedding being relaxed and full of celebration. That’s why I chose a rustic, characterful barn over a church wedding. That is the charm that you have, and I will always remember that warm, comfortable, happy feeling I had at Cripps. 

Jodie you were an absolute star on the day, and beforehand, you guided the day so well, and we are eternally grateful. 

Keep making couple’s dreams come true. 

— Ali & Ben, November 2019

Our wedding day was something out of a fairytale as cheesy as that sounds. Cripps Barn is the most idyllic place to get married. Every one of my guests commented on the beautiful décor and the amazing location. I had a lot of "that's the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever been to". I knew within minutes of being at Cripps for our first visit that I wanted to get married there. I also can't praise the wonderful crew at Cripps from James who answered my thousand of questions promptly and put me at ease whenever I worried about anything. Lucy our front of house manager in the day was amazing, she made sure our day went according to plan and I didn't have to do a thing. Dave our night manager was also brilliant, anything we needed he sorted. I have to also mention the food because it really is incredible and something all of our guests mentioned. I wish I could have my wedding day all over again at Cripps, it truly was magical thank you so much Cripps team.

— Francis & Stuart, October 2019

Thanks to your help and efforts we had the special day we had hoped for. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves safe in the knowledge that everything had been taken care of, down to the smallest details. Nothing was too much trouble. And the venue looked amazing. It exceeded our expectations. 

We have had so many compliments about the food. All of our guests told us how good it was and we both agree. It was fantastic so please pass this on to the chefs. 

It really was a special day we will never forget, and you all played a part in making that happen.

— Sarah & Andy, October 2019

The venue and staff were truly amazing, so polite and organised and really made the best day of our lives so special. I cannot recommend them highly enough. So professional and the attention to details is great. They cover everything you ask for.

— Natalie & James, October 2019

Cripps Barn was love at first sight. We were lucky enough to have the right weather to get married in the beautiful glade, and had a brilliant day! Our guests all raved about the venue and how brilliant the food was. Our photographers also said it was one of the most beautiful venues they've been to. None of them had been to an outdoor wedding and it was a beautiful experience for all. Jodie our day manager was incredible- so organised, made the day seamless and also just generally really lovely. Both our parents loved her! James our night manager was great fun and answered any questions. All of the staff were very friendly, and also came to us (the bride and groom) first with the canapes every time, so we never starved! Our guests with kids felt like they were completely safe at all times because the venue has lovely outdoor areas and plenty of places to sit too. Adam and I, even with all the adrenaline, always felt at ease. This venue is a dream, in every sense of the word. The first thing we booked, and wouldn't have changed it for the world.

— Liv & Adam, September 2019

The first time we visited Cripps Barn, we knew right away that it was the venue we wanted for our wedding. The grounds and building are both stunning - we had our ceremony in the glade and it was picturesque. All of the staff were so helpful and friendly throughout the process and they were always prompt to respond to any queries we had. The online portal was really useful to keep a track of our booking too. On the day, James (our front of house manager) was nothing short of amazing. He was on top of absolutely everything, leaving us worry free and able to enjoy the day. The food, the decor and the venue itself were all perfect and we had so many comments from guests who were extremely impressed. They really made us feel like royalty for the day and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to all your staff for making our special day so perfect.

— Flower & Dominic, September 2019

Such an amazing venue and the staff were fantastic. The venue has a very relaxing vibe and the two main rooms really flow together. If you opt for the inside and outside decorations you don’t really need much else apart from table decorations. We used one of their recommended discos and photo booth companies and they were both excellent. The food was delicious and we were really glad we chose to have canapés as it filled a gap between the ceremony and the main meal. Our evening buffet of cheese, bread, crackers, grapes and chutneys went down a storm with our guests too.

— Christine, Mother of the Bride, September 2019

We had an absolutely MAGICAL day. Thank you so much to Lucy and the rest of the team for making it so wonderful. Everything ran so smoothly, the staff were fantastic. Everyone is saying how fab the food was - literally the best wedding food ever. The bar was awesome. We were so so happy to be able to do the ceremony outside. The venue looked stunning and created a brilliantly fun and relaxed environment that we wanted. Everything was just fabulous so thank you!

 — Lucie & Tom, September 2019

What I liked about our wedding at Cripps Barn was that it rained, so instead of panicking and getting annoyed, we all embraced it. I put on glittery wellies. The staff reorganised things effortlessly. When it dried up a bit, we had bonfires in the evening and it was so cosy and relaxed. Guests said it was the most relaxed, chilled out and fun wedding. The venue is absolutely beautiful, but it's more than that, it's the people and staff that make the wedding a breeze. And it certainly was. I could not stop smiling.

 — Catherine & Robert, August 2019

We just wanted to say a big thanks to the whole Cripps Barn team. We had such an amazing wedding and both had such a great time. A particular thanks to Jodie who was fantastic on the day - making sure that we had some canapes was a lovely touch!

 — Alex & Dave, August 2019

We had the best day of our lives, we really couldn't have asked for anything more. Lucy, you were amazing at helping us set up and making the day go smoothly, you really did everything to make sure we were at ease and that we had nothing to worry about. Dave was also brilliant in the evening. There is no way we would have had the day we did if it wasn't for you two and we both want to say a massive, heart felt thank you.

 — Jody & Jack, August 2019

We would like to thank Lucy and her team at Cripps Barn for all their guidance and support through planning and managing our beautiful wedding day. We had the most magical wedding day which was seamless from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. Many of our guests complimented us on how beautiful Cripps Barn is and how wonderful the food was, many informing us it was the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding. If you are after a professional yet personal service in stunning surroundings then I cannot recommend Cripps Barn enough. Many thanks for making our day so perfect!

 — Lucyna & Nathan, August, 2019

We got married at Cripps Barn and it was honestly the most perfect, beautiful venue! The team are so professional and couldn't do enough to help us throughout the whole booking process. On the day everything ran smoothly, we didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was also absolutely incredible. People are still talking about the steaks and the potato dauphinoise! Best wedding food we've ever had. Thank you so much to Cripps Barn for making our day completely perfect.

 — Becky & Ed, August 2019

We would both just like to say that we had the most wonderful day. Jodie was amazing at looking after us, the venue looked beautiful and the food was out of this world. All our guests were in complete awe and said it was the best wedding they have ever been to! We fell in love with Cripps instantly when we first walked in last May and we couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else. Thank you to the whole team for all the contact and planning you have done for us on the run up to the day, and your advice and tips throughout the process. We wish we could do it all over again but will have the most amazing memories to look back on.

 — Melissa & Tom, August 2019

Our wedding was absolutely awesome! We had the most memorable day and all of our guests enjoyed themselves. The food was out of this world and the vibrant colours were exactly what we’d envisaged.

Thank you to everyone at Cripps - James you were fabulous, you made us both feel completely at ease throughout the whole day. Jodie you were a super evening manager. The chefs were excellent and they listened to every single one of our requests.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

 — Clare & Vijay, August 2019

The photos on the website show how beautiful this venue is, but it's even more stunning in person. We fell in love with it immediately and booked it almost right away. We couldn't wait to have our wedding day at such an incredible location. But what made our day so exceptional was the staff. They were helpful, organised and friendly. The whole day went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing, just enjoy our day. All of our guests raved about the food, which we agree was delicious! We'd like to give a special thanks to James and Dave, our managers for the day, and to everyone working behind the scenes to make it so special. It was the perfect day, we wouldn't have changed a thing.

 — Alex and Carrie, August 2019

We had a truly incredible wedding day at Cripps. The staff worked hard to make the day run seamlessly and nothing was too much for them. They really listened to our needs and helped us every step of the way during wedding planning. The food was incredible, all our guests said how much they enjoyed it. We can’t thank the team at Cripps Barn enough, they were amazing.

 — Alessandra and James, July 2019

We looked at so many barns but as soon as we visited Cripps, we fell in love with the place. Many of the barns we looked at were purpose built wedding venues so although ‘barn-like’, they lacked the rustic feel. Cripps Barn was originally a barn so has so much character and makes it a very special venue. In 2019, out of all the Barns we visited, Cripps Barn seemed to have the most weddings booked in – we sensed there would be a good reason for this!

  As soon as you arrive, you drive down the long drive way and then you will immediately see the Barn with the beautiful gardens and fields surrounding it. The garden is immaculate with many of our keen gardening guests commenting on how well kept the garden is. On entry to the Barn, you will see the two main rooms, which look amazing. 

We were also looking for somewhere where they have the people, systems and processes in place to ensure planning our big day would be as smooth as possible. Since our initial planning meeting ten months ago, up to and including the wedding day itself, I can honestly say the support has been incredible. All conversations are logged on their internal portal to ensure nothing gets missed.  No question was too large or small.

The whole Cripps team is brilliant too. They’re experts in the field and we always felt in great hands. They are all so happy to help and you can tell they enjoy the work that they do. Even though they support with so many weddings, they were always sharing our excitement and dream in the build up to the big day. An important note too, looking back over the past two years, it seems most of the Cripps team has stayed the same.

 As for the day itself, we are still on such a high reflecting on the day. So many of our guests have been in touch saying it was the most perfect day, set in the most stunning of venues they have ever been too. They also commented on how the whole day ran to time, as they had been to other weddings where it’s always running late! This was due to the Cripps Team who were on-site throughout the day, ensuring everything went to plan. Our guests also commented on the food, saying how delicious and tasty it was.

In summary, if you’re looking for a rustic Barn, with loads of character, delicious food on the day and a team of staff who support you with the build up to the big day, get in touch with Cripps Barn. It really is a brilliant set-up. Thanks to Cripps we (including all our guests) had the most amazing day.

 — Emma & Chris, July 2019

Thank you to all the team at Cripps for the best day ever. Special thanks to James, who really was amazing, whenever we needed anything at all he was there immediately like magic (I don’t know he did that!). We had such a wonderful day and all of our guests commented on such a beautiful venue and incredible food - we can’t thank you enough. 

— Harriet & Paul, July 2019

If you want to wow your wedding guests this is definitely the right venue to choose! A beautiful barn with amazing gardens, you barely need any decoration for this venue and the decoration package they provide is perfect with lanterns and candles. The staff are very professional and you can tell this is a very established wedding venue as everything ran so smoothly throughout the day. Great food and many compliments from our guests. A perfect setting for wonderful photographs. A special thanks to Jodie who was excellent on the day.

— Hannah & Andy, June 2019

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, everything in the run up to and on the day was made so easy the the Cripps team, but in particular Lucy. Things just seemed to happen without us having to think about it or ask. Our guests all said how fantastic they thought the venue and food was. It was great to have the sunny weather too so we could enjoy the lovely garden.

— Emma & Adam, June 2019

We had the most amazing day and loved every minute of it. Many of our guests also commented on how beautiful your venue is and how fantastic the food was, so a big thank you to all involved! 

— Lucyna & Nathan, June 2019

Cripps Barn was absolutely perfect for our wedding. Not only is the venue stunning (as commented by all the guests), but their online system and the service that they provided leading up to the day was great with very timely and helpful responses. On the day they made everything run incredibly smoothly, assuring us throughout the day that everything was in hand. They have weddings on the vast majority of days throughout the year but the changeover was seamless and it really felt like it was only ever 'our' venue by the way it was handled. On top of this, the staff were fantastic to deal with, especially Lucy, James and the bar manager Dave.

— Lucy & Elliott, June 2019

Everything ran perfectly and everyone at Cripps was fantastic - so many people commented on the venue and organisation. James, you especially are a calm and sunny presence in what can be an overwhelming day, thank you very much to you and also to Jodie and the night team.  

— Jen & Ben, June 2019

Thank you for organising such a wonderful wedding day for us. We had the perfect day. We were over the moon to be able to get married outside on the glade area and the weather, food and venue were wonderful. 

— Suz & Geoff, May 2019

We just wanted to say the BIGGEST thank you to Jodie and all of the staff at Cripps for the most perfect day and night.

All of our guests agreed it was the most beautiful venue they had ever been to, the food was delicious, Jodie and team made sure we felt relaxed and calm throughout and kept everything running smoothly and the whole day was incredible. 

Our wedding was a day we will remember forever and that is all down to you guys. 

— Niamh & Ant, May 2019

The day was faultless and we wouldn't have wanted to get married at any other venue.

— Sarah & Chris, May 2019

A massive thank you to the team that really allowed the event to run smoothly and allowed us to focus on our special day. Jodie was exemplary and unbelievably helpful throughout, catering to any impromptu requirements that occurred especially with the variable weather.

She was fantastic so we would like to extend our huge gratitude to her and also the team that assisted her on the day.

— Prem and Pam, May 2019

You made the most special day of our lives flawless from start to finish.

— Amy & Kieren, April 2019 

All our guests have commented on how beautiful the venue was, and how amazing the food was and also how friendly and professional every single member of staff was. We can't thank you all enough.

— Zoe & Sam, April 2019

The very moment we went to Cripps Barn to book our wedding the staff have been so helpful. The whole planning of the wedding was stress free and so easy and this was all down to the staff. The food was incredible - the lamb chops, the chorizo sausage, the chocolate fondant, and not forgetting Baz & Fred pizzas, everything was just wow! The day was so organised thanks to our front house manager James, he was just incredible and so efficient. All the staff on the day attended to our needs and whatever we required they were there. Everything about Cripps Barn is beautiful and we couldn't of picked a better place to get married.

— Monica & Arjun, April 2019

Thank you so so so much to everyone at Cripps Barn for all of your help, not only on the day itself but also through the whole planning process, and especially to Lucy as she was amazing & so helpful to have around on the day.

— Gemma & Liam, April 2019

Thank you so, so much to everyone at Cripps who played a part in our wedding. We've had so many amazing cards and messages from our guests and you guys made it the smoothest, easiest experience ever.

— Catherine & Edward, April 2019

We’d like to say a massive thank you for making our wedding so special. Cripps was just our perfect venue and your staff really were unbelievable and made it extra special. James, you were so calm, professional and in control the whole day and we appreciated that so much. It meant we could just relax and not worry about a thing.

The food was also incredible so huge compliments to the chefs. How they produced that quantity and quality is rather baffling. Lots of people have said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had.

— Natalie & Martin, April 2019

Adam and I had the most AMAZING day, and Cripps is the most dreamiest wedding venue, simply perfect in every way and exactly what we wanted. The team were so helpful, responsive and so organised, which just made it stress free and relaxed for us so we could enjoy our day. I’ve worked in events for 10 years and it was so nice to know we were leaving everything in the most capable hands -credit to the team. Thank you.

— Charlotte & Adam, February 2019

Our wedding at Cripps Barn surpassed anything we could have imagined. The location, staff, venue - everything - was absolutely perfect. We opted for an intimate winter wedding. Lucy was our manager for the day and we couldn't have asked for a lovelier person to have. She was friendly, calm and made sure everyone was happy. The food was cooked wonderfully, with great portions to more than fill up our guests. All through the night, the staff made sure things were kept moving nicely, however they never imposed. It was the most magical day I could have ever hoped for and am so grateful to the team. The only thing I wish was that we could do it all over again!

— Gabby & Sam, February 2019

Thanks to the team at Cripps Barn for giving us the most memorable of wedding days! From the first point of contact they went above and beyond to help deliver our dream day. The venue is absolutely stunning and all of the guests were completely blown away by the food.... Many commenting "The best wedding food they had ever had" A friendly team operating in the most amazing venue. Thanks guys!!

— Sasha & Sam, December 2018

We got married on the 8th December 2018 and from start to finish the whole Cripps Barn experience was utterly magical. The beautiful barn speaks for itself. It is well looked after, decorated in a way that means that it feels authentic and rustic. But what makes it even more incredible were the staff. Every single meeting was well managed with everyone we spoke to demonstrating their knowledge of the barn but also the whole process which naturally gave us a lot of confidence and comfort. Jodie was our planner and head of staff on the day and did the most fantastic job. We have had so many compliments from our guests. They all especially loved carving their steak bricks on the tables and the vegetarians were blown away by how delicious their Tarka Dhal was.

— Harriet & Adam, December 2018

Thank you so much for making our day unforgettable. We wish we could do it all again - it was magical. We would like to give a special mention & thank you to James, our wedding day manager. He was so professional and is a credit to your company. He was absolutely brilliant and I don’t know what we would have done without him. Just amazing!

— Hannah & Neil, December 2018

Wow, what an incredible day we had, it was absolutely perfect and even with the weather being a bit off it couldn't have been better! Thank you all so much for everything along the way, everyone has been so helpful and kind and nothing too much trouble, we really appreciate it. Extra big thanks to Jodie and Cara for ensuring the day ran like clockwork. Jodie you calmed us both right down when we needed it and we're very grateful for everything.

— Hannah & Steve, December 2018

“You all did a wonderful job and we have received messages full of praise for the way everyone was looked after at our party. To be able to walk in 20 minutes before the ‘off’ and walk out as the last guest leaves is the most fantastic luxury, all made possible by the team at Cripps. It is a lovely, lovely venue.

— Serena & Hugo, November 2018

“I just wanted to write to you and say a HUGE thank you for making every part of our wedding day just perfect. The planning and correspondence with your whole team has been nothing less than brilliant.

James - You have such a calming presence, and I honestly felt super relaxed as soon as I saw you. You and the team make the space look beautiful and followed my multiple and detailed instructions to the tee!

The venue sells itself, but your team are the best bit of the day for any bride. I knew I could leave all the organisation and detail in your capable hands. I have worked in events for a few years, and I have never been so impressed with an events team.

— Katie & Thomas, November 2018

“Thank you so much for all of your help. The venue completely exceeded our expectations. Jodie was an absolutely amazing front of house manager, she made everything so smooth and went over and above to make sure us and our guests were happy, she’s fantastic!

— Michelle & Grant, November 2018

“Incredible venue, the Barn is beautiful throughout the year and well designed in its simplicity and the way it is styled. Our level of service from the team on the lead up to our wedding was so great, we couldn’t have asked for more. On our day the staff were discreet, but so efficient. We had complete trust in them for the big day! Cripps organised the timings to work best for us and followed this through seamlessly. And then the food, well, all our guests are still raving about it. So delicious and the serving style was so social and with the banquette style tables, this worked wonderfully with guests and mixing up groups of people. We had an amazing day.

— Liberty & Graham, November 2018

“We absolutely loved everything about Cripps Barn. Fabulous staff, amazing food, great venue! We couldn’t have had a better day. Cripps Barn are professionals when it comes to running a wedding, everything was perfect from start to finish.

— Julianne & Jamie, November 2018

“We absolutely couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day. Huge, huge thanks to all of you for making it so wonderful.

— Lizzy & Robert, November 2018

“Thank you so much for making our day absolutely wonderful. We really appreciated how well our Front of House, Jodie, conducted everything in such a calm and friendly way. We will always have such fond memories of our day, and the food was complemented by all of our guests. Truly the best venue!

— Emily & Will, November 2018

“We’d just like to thank everyone who made our wedding day so wonderful. We’ve had nothing but kind words and praise for such a beautiful venue, food and staff.

— Kim & Dan, November 2018

“Wow, wow, wow we had the most amazing day, the Cripps team took care of everything making our day so much more relaxed. Some people say they don’t enjoy their own weddings, well that’s not the case for us. We loved every second, everything was taken care of and ran perfectly all day. The weather wasn’t kind, but Cripps Barn caters for all days and it didn’t spoil a thing. The most beautiful venue and the food is fantastic.

— Gema & Brian, October 2018

“We were so pleased with how smoothly all the arrangements went on the day. Things just happened and we hardly noticed. It truly was a memorable day for the whole family. 
The food was fantastic and all our guests were impressed with the quality and quantity of food provided. 
The barn looked fantastic and we were pleased to have used some of the recommended suppliers, especially for the flowers. 
The drinks and canapés were lovely and top ups were free flowing if required. 
The sound quality was great along with the ambience of the lighting in the barn at night. 
The day exceeded all our expectations. We had a perfect day. Your staff were professional and carried out their duties with minimal fuss. Thank you to everyone at Cripps who played a part in making the day run without a hitch.

— Sarah & Ian, October 2018

“Cripps Barn is the most stunning venue and we really did have the best day of our lives. The location, the views, the barn itself, the decorations with candles and fairy lights, the food – it was all perfect. The whole team at Cripps were so on-the-ball and friendly both in the whole planning process and on the actual day. It really helped set our minds at ease and not worry about the running of the day, we knew we were in safe hands. Nothing was too much trouble, even my endless questions via the online chat, which is super handy. James ran our day and Jodie was the night manager, both helped to make the day feel so special for us and I cannot thank the team enough. The food was simply out of this world and the portions were huge! It wasn’t just your typical wedding food, it was simply amazing and one of the best meals I have ever had. We will never forget our day and that’s partly down to the team at Cripps who are like wedding ninjas who make sure the day runs like clockwork, almost without being seen! We can’t thank the team enough and we cannot recommend this venue enough.

— Nicola & Dan, October 2018

“The whole day was just perfect from beginning til end. Excellent service with attention from all the staff. Highly recommend, stunning location. Thank you everyone at Cripps Barn for making this special day even more special.

— Therese & Victor, October 2018

“Thank you all for helping us make my daughter’s wedding a memorable day. The venue was breathtakingly beautiful and the staff worked like crazy to ensure that everything was just perfect. I want to send a special thank you to Jodie who managed the event so professionally and graciously; nothing was too much trouble for her.

— Mike (Father of the Bride), September 2018

“Myself and my husband had the best experience with Cripps Barn. Our front of house Jodie and night manager Dave were fantastic, they were extremely professional and attentive. Nothing was too much bother and the day ran so smoothly. 
Every one of our guests raved about the food, and the portions sizes were huge! The venue is just gorgeous and everything we wanted.

— Lisa & Aled, September 2018

“The venue is stunning and the staff were amazing. The weather was good so we were able to get married outside which was just amazing. The staff were ready as soon as the ceremony was over and handed out drinks and canapes to the guest which as you can imagine made a lot of hungry and thirsty people happy! The food was phenomenal. We had the rotisserie chicken and strawberries with cream for the wedding breakfast and the pork rolls for the evening do. The venue catered for all of our guests with dietary requirements, including me The Bride. The decorations were amazing as we had the fire pits and lights in the evening and the tables were decorated exactly how we wanted. Such an amazing venue, with fantastic staff.

— Emily & Phill, September 2018

“At a wedding fair my daughter was asked what her ‘perfect’ wedding venue would be like. Having described it she was advised to go to visit Cripps Barn. One visit and she knew this was the venue she had been imagining - candles, open brickwork, flowers, fairy lights... The older, stone part of the barn where the ceremonies take place has a sense of occasion and history, small enough to feel intimate and allow guests to be close to the ceremony, big enough to accommodate lots of friends and family and have a real feel of celebration. The newer section of the barn where the Wedding Breakfast takes place is light and open and can be made as relaxed or formal as the bride and groom prefer. As it was a lovely day, weather wise, guests were able to make good use of the outside areas as were the photographer and videographer. Use of this outside space continued well into the night due to the fire pits and warm evening. However, as beautiful as the barn is, what makes it the wedding venue perfect is the team of people who actually make the weddings work! The front of house, the organising, the cooking, the cleaning, the gardening, the bar staff, the liaising, the calm words - everything that goes into making a wedding run smoothly. Everyone was so friendly, calm and helpful. The food was a delicious success. We had the best day. So if you are looking for the complete wedding venue..go and have a talk to the lovely people at Cripps Barn - the barn will speak for itself.

— Mother of a Bride, September 2018

“From the moment we entered Cripps Barn, we immediately knew that it was the place we wanted to get married. The staff were exceptionally accommodating, helpful and friendly from our very first visit and this attention was maintained throughout the entire process of our wedding planning. We visited Cripps for the Tasting Evening and were amazed by the food quality (the seared tuna starter was especially unforgettable...) We also visited for a planning meeting with Jodie, who helped us make choices about our day, without ever applying pressure. We felt so relaxed knowing that the Cripps team were so competent and in control, but also always knew that we were able to create a day that was unique to us. Our wedding day finally arrived last Friday and we really did have the best day of our lives. All anxieties that we had leading up to the event were forgotten as soon as we arrived for our wedding day. It was clear that Jodie and the team had everything completely under control and we were able to totally relax throughout the entirety. The food was absolutely exquisite - the sort of quality that you would be amazed by in a small restaurant, so the fact that such quality can be maintained on such a huge scale is only more impressive! Our day was one that we will never forget and we genuinely enjoyed every single second - a testament to the incredible Cripps team who are so amazingly organised and competent in what they do.

— Rebekka and John, September 2018

“Thank you to all at Cripps Barn for the amazing day you provided for us all at Melissa and Mark’s wedding reception. 

Apart from the wonderful venue, your staff provided an incredible service. Everyone was complimentary about the venue and the amazing food and the day. It met our best expectations and more. We wish we could do it again. The time went so quickly.

The guest carving idea was a huge hit with everyone, and the beef was delicious. It made for a fun and relaxed atmosphere. It’s not always easy when two very different sets of family and friends come together but Cripps really made it work. 

Many many thanks again for helping to make our daughter’s special day even more special.

— Pauline (Mother of the Bride), September 2018

“From our first viewing of Cripps Barn we fell in love with the place. It is effortlessly beautiful, rustic and we absolutely loved how chilled out and relaxed all the staff were. Booking the place was a piece of cake and any questions you have throughout the planning period are answered within 24 hours, which was fantastic. On the day we had James looking after us and he completely took the hassle and organisation into his own hands. Everything ran like clockwork but at no point did we feel rushed which was amazing. Jodie took over from James and the change over was so smooth we didn’t notice at all! The food is out of this world and every guest has come back to us to say that it was the best wedding food they have ever had! We had the best day of our lives and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

— Hannah & Matthew, September 2018

“We want to send the biggest thank you to everyone for making Emily and Joe’s wedding such a wonderful occasion.

The Barn really looked the part, everything that Emily hoped it would be - a wonderful backdrop for the beautiful flowers that Beth from Go Wild Flowers arranged.

The venue, of course, is beautiful in itself - but it is made exceptional by the people working there. You were all so helpful, friendly and calming; in the setting up, the packing up and the smooth running of the day.

We have had so many positive comments about the wonderful food. As a vegetarian myself I really enjoyed the pancakes - but even if they hadn’t been so good the potatoes and veg would have been a lovely meal in themselves! 

Thank you for helping Emily to realise the visualisation of her wedding and for making it a very special day.

— Pauline (Mother of the Bride), September 2018

“From start to finish the entire day was absolutely perfect! It went so smoothly, the food was amazing and everyone was so attentive and helpful, we really couldn’t have asked for more.
I wanted to say a special thank you to James, I appreciated you being so friendly, helping to calm my nerves and making me feel at ease from the moment I arrived. Also, for fanning my dress out for most of the day, I’m sure that’s not in the job description! You were amazing. 
Right from when we first viewed Cripps and saved the date, we have been really impressed with the service we have received. We really had the most perfect wedding day and just wish we could do it all over again.
— Ceri & Alex, August 2018

“The organisation by the Cripps Barn team was superb. They covered and attended to every detail and made the day so special for us both. We would like to thank Cara and James who ran the day perfectly and were there to deal with every single one of our needs and requests. The venue and surroundings are immaculately presented and we would recommend the venue to any couple looking for a perfect venue for their wedding.

— Jessica & David, August 2018

“Beautiful venue indoors and out, professional and efficient staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Recommend without hesitation

— Sam & Matt, August 2018

“The most amazing venue, they looked after us so well and let us enjoy the day rather than stressing about when how things were going. Their staff are brilliant and work so hard behind the scenes, from making sure we had plenty of food to directing people throughout the day and helping the suppliers set up. The food is spectacular, all of our guests commented on it and many said it was the best wedding food they had had. Thank you for a perfect day!

— Sophia & James, August 2018

“We had an amazing day and so did our guests. We cannot thank you, Dave and the staff enough. You were all brilliant! Thank you for everything.

— Hollie & Ben, August 2018

“Cripps was the first venue we viewed and after seeing it, we didn’t need to see any others! We couldn’t be happier that we chose to get married here. After 18 months of planning and wondering what our day would be like, it surpassed all expectations. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. The food was incredible, our guests are still complimenting us on it and we’ve had family members trying to replicate the menu. Baz and Fred’s pizzas were probably the best I have ever eaten. All of the colleagues we’ve dealt with at Cripps, right from our initial viewing, up until the day have been amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for them and despite how busy they are with weddings in the summer, they made us feel as though we were the only people in the world getting married. Jodie was our Manager on the day and we cannot thank her enough for everything she did. The day went so smoothly and Jodie was great at letting us know what was happening, or where we needed to be next. If anyone is considering Cripps as a potential wedding venue - just do it!

— Verity & Dale, August 2018

Thank you all for making our day as special as it was. The food was incredible, the venue outstanding and the staff amazing, so we can’t thank you enough.

A big shout out to Jodie who helped us through the planning stages, and was also our front of house manager on the day. Your were a superstar and made me feel relaxed from the moment I walked in, I can’t praise you highly enough. Also to all the staff/chefs behind the scenes as we know everyone played a vital roll in the day. 

The staff didn’t just treat us like a customer we felt part of the family. The communication throughout the whole process was fantastic. 

You have helped create the most wonderful memories which we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

— Lauren & Rachel, August 2018

* Perfect, picturesque venue.
* Incredible quality and amount of food.
* Attentive, professional and helpful staff.
* Zero stress due to diligent Front of House staff.
* Great range of suppliers provided.
* Impeccable communication throughout the entire process; from booking to completion.

Cripps barn is simply the perfect wedding venue. The location is ideal as it is surrounded by beautiful fields away from any other disturbances or distractions. It provides options for a beautiful outdoor wedding in the glade and a cosy indoor wedding in the stone hall. The grounds are stunning and extremely well maintained and allow many beautiful photo’s to be taken. Even now, 5 days after the wedding, our guests are still talking about the quality and abundance of food at the wedding. The service was impeccable - nobody’s glass was ever empty and the food was served in a timely and professional manner.

Special mention to Lucy, who was our Front of House manager for our wedding and Dave, who was the evening manager. From the moment we setup at 9:00 am, our minds were set at ease with the clear direction of Lucy who helped organise everything. And Dave, who expertly looked after our guests well into the evening with a seamless handover from Lucy. All of the staff were incredible - they were so good, you didn’t even realise they were there. Present, but also invisible, they really made the day stress free and magical.

We cannot recommend this venue enough and the words fail to correctly sum up just how incredible everything was from start to finish. Thank you for making our day perfect.

— Jen & Phil, August 2018

“We looked at many barns to hold the reception of our wedding in, and Cripps Barn was easily the most picturesque. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the food was second to none. The organisation they run the venue with is incredible - whenever we had a question or query it was answered quickly. A special thank you to James who managed our wedding party in the day - he was amazing at his job and ensured a smooth party. And a special thank you to Dave, who reflected the same service in the evening. Our wedding was perfect - Cripps barn is the perfect venue.

— Sarah & Ben, August 2018

“What a fantastic venue! All of our guests were blown away with the food - both canapés and wedding breakfast. Some even said the food is better than some of the top restaurants. The location is breath taking and you don’t need to do much to the barn to make it look beautiful. Lucy looked after us on the day and she is amazing! I felt so relaxed in her hands and she’s fantastic at ensuring the day runs smoothly. She even kept making sure we had something to eat and drink throughout the day, which is something we kept forgetting to do! We cannot recommend this place highly enough. We had the most perfect day, thanks to all involved.

— Francesca & Daniel, August 2018

“Thank everyone and in particular Jody and the team who looked after the wedding on the day for making it so special. Everything was first class even though we were impacted a little by the weather. It is truly a magnificent venue and your experience was invaluable in making the day run so smoothly. A special mention for the food which was first class.
We all had a fantastic time and gave the married couple a proper celebration ... we appreciate you played a big part in that.
— Simon (Father of the Bride), July 2018

“Cripps Barn was the only venue for us! We knew it was a piece of us before we even stepped foot here, then we viewed the barn with both parents. We all found it emotional as we could so perfectly picture our big day happening here. We had our fingers crossed for nice weather for an outdoor ceremony, and we certainly had our wish granted. All guests said how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was, and how perfectly the day ran. Thank you to Lucy and everyone at Cripps Barn.

— Lucy & Billy, July 2018

“The most beautiful venue we visited and the best choice we made! As soon as we stepped through the door we were made to feel so welcome and at ease. The staff were unbelievable and couldn’t do enough for us, so friendly and helpful with constant communication throughout the whole process. With a wedding booked 14 months in advance, Cripps kept us updated and were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Jodie was fantastic, a loveable character and would do everything she could to help. The day itself went so smoothly, the staff working away in the background. The magic of that day we will hold dear forever. So many family and friends commenting on how beautiful the venue was and polite the staff were. We loved every moment..... Thank you Cripps

— Lauren & Rachel, June 2018

“Great location for a wedding, don’t be put off by its remoteness its worth organising travel arrangements for such a magical setting. The staff were excellent and the food was superb, our guests, as were we, were blown away by the barn and the day as a whole. The wedding planner, Jody, took on everything to ensure the day went as hassle free as we could wish. Thanks for making our daughter’s and son-in-law’s day.

— Lawrence (Father of the Bride), June 2018

“We had the best day of our lives - the venue staff were so attentive and helpful and made the day run seamlessly. Everyone complemented us on how amazing the food and wine was. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day at such a beautiful venue.

— Jen & Ben, June 2018

“We visited for a wedding, and my word it was stunning. The space itself is something to behold and the staff were relaxed, entertaining and vigilant - everything you could ask for.

The old barn interior was the perfect temperature despite the high ceilings (meaning those in summer dresses were warm, and those in three-piece-suits weren’t melting)

I’d highly recommend this place to anyone getting married, or just looking for a great place to hold a party.

— Ted (a wedding guest), June 2018

“Thank you so much for being such a great venue. 

Jodie and James were absolutely outstanding throughout the entire day. I couldn’t believe how attentive they were. 

— Jess & Josh, June 2018

“WOW! We knew we liked Cripps Barn for so many reasons, but you guys delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue, food, drinks, staff, ambiance, everything was just absolutely perfect and we could not have wished for a better place to have our big day.

Cripps Barn is so beautiful, you make planning a wedding a dream. The French Feast was such a highlight, our guests are raving about the Tarte Tatin.

Thank you again, I hope that one day we have the pleasure of attending a wedding at one of your venues!

— Anna & Ray, June 2018

“Hands down one of the best days of our lives! It goes without saying that the venue is beautiful but all the people at Cripps who took care of us made it even better. From our first visit to the actual day itself all of the staff at Cripps were amazing. They were very attentive, quick to respond and flexible to our needs. I would highly recommend this venue to all who are interested in it’s type and if you’re looking to get a good deal I’d also suggest booking a mid week date!

— Tosin & Sam, June 2018

“Thank you so much for all of your help making our day move like clockwork - and for being so helpful and thoughtful throughout. The day wouldn’t have been what it was without you. Thanks again Flora and the team- our day was the best day ever... thank you for making it so special.

— Rebecca & Paul, May 2018

“You will understandably hear this all the time, but Friday was truly the best day of our lives and that wouldn’t have been the case without the professionalism, precision and all round brilliance of all of the team at Cripps. 
The food was beyond amazing and everyone has told us it was the greatest wedding food they’ve had. 
Choosing your venue was the best decision we made and we can’t express how much we would recommend you to anyone who wants to get married in the most perfect setting with the best people running it so smoothly for you.

— Emily & Edward, May 2018

“We couldn’t have asked for more from you in making our special day go so seamlessly. Despite all the rave reviews online which, of course, made our expectations very high you still managed to surpass yourselves.

“Best food ever at a wedding, best party ever, stunning location”, are just a few of the quotes from our guests afterwards.

— Laura & Jon, May 2018

“We fell in love with Cripps Barn the moment we walked through the door. The atmosphere and character oozes from every stone and corner - the warming smell of wood smoke is so rustic and welcoming, it will forever remind us of our wedding day! When our day came it rained and rained, but the staff were amazing and made everything work perfectly even though it was too wet to go outside for reception drinks. We had so many compliments on the venue and in particular the food - the food here is something else! Our sirloin steak bricks were cooked to perfection on the barbecue and our vegetarian friends raved about the veggie options too. When the rain stopped we were able to light the night with sparklers on the firepits outside and toast marshmallows under the stars creating some beautiful memories we will cherish forever. Cripps Barn really is a perfect venue.

— Hannah & Tom, May 2018

“Where do we start? From the first time we visited Cripps Barn we knew it was the place for us. It’s absolutely stunning, full of character, a fantastic location and extremely friendly staff. We booked our wedding on the Open Day in 2017 and had regular updates from the team from there. On our Wedding Day, Jodie, Dave and their team were incredible, nothing was too much trouble, they were always one step ahead of us and truly made our day so very special. As real ‘foodies’ we were very keen to pick a venue that could deliver a meal that would impress, and Cripps Barn did not disappoint! We picked beef sirloin bricks which could be carved at each table by our guests, which was not only something unique, but proved to be such a good way of allowing our guests to get to know one another. In terms of quality, we couldn’t have asked for any more when it came to the food. It was perfectly cooked, well presented, had exceptional flavour and there was plenty of it! There were two things that our guests commented on most, the stunning venue and the amazing food... We would not have any hesitation in recommending Cripps Barn and the super helpful team to anyone who is looking for a stunning venue, an idyllic location and most of all a spectacular place to celebrate their Wedding Day. Thank you so much to all at Cripps, you were just fantastic!

— Louise & Andrew, May 2018

We had the most fabulous wedding at Cripps Barn! After being together for 10 years we knew we wanted to get married somewhere beautiful but understated and we completely fell in love with Cripps. Both my husband and I grew up in the Cotswolds and the first time we visited we knew it was the place for us! The beautiful fireplace, gorgeous flagstone floors, the open yet cosy feel... I could go on! The whole planning process was such a dream and everyone at Cripps was so helpful (over our whole two and a half year engagement)!! There is a fabulous system where all emails, ideas and requests are kept online so you can easily keep track of your day and your spending. I absolutely adore Jodie and Lucy who both were amazing over email and in person! Popping in for planning meetings they made us feel very relaxed and were so accommodating to all of our requests. Turning up on our wedding day, Jodie made me feel completely at ease and she made sure everything ran smoothly and was just amazing! The ceremony was perfect and gosh - the food was just incredible! We had the roast pork, which I highly recommend. We had so many happy guests who complimented the food! (I also suggest going to one of the feast nights - we had a brilliant time and actually made some new friends too!) All our guests felt so looked after for the whole day! We had a wedding bake off, sparklers, marshmallows, a great band and enjoyed partying until 1.00 with all of our friends and family.

— Tiffany & Sam, April 2018

“We got married at Cripps Barn on April 5th this year and it was just a dream come true. Not only did we get the only sunny day for weeks, the whole day ran smoothly. From day one planning was made easy due to the helpful staff at Cripps. The barn is completely beautiful and in real life even better than the pictures, if that’s even possible. It will be our little special place forever!

— Kristy & Liam, April 2018

“We had the most perfect day that we wouldn’t have changed for the world. Cripps team were so helpful from start to finish. They made the whole planning process easy and the online system for communication and tracking was very useful. The venue itself is just beautiful, you feel like you are the only people in the world due to the remote location. The grounds and Barn are stunning if you are looking for a rustic theme. The food was out of this world and the sharing boards were perfect and just what we wanted for us and our guests. I still have friends that are messaging me now saying they can’t stop thinking about the chorizo sausage canapes. The team on the day made sure it all went smoothly and Jodie was fantastic. She was there whenever I needed to ask something. I couldn’t recommend Cripps enough. Amazing day and memories. 

— Laura & David, April 2018

“
A massive thank you for what was, undoubtedly the best day of our lives. The day ran like clockwork. We had so many great comments, the best wedding we have ever been too, the food was fantastic, and the attention to detail was insane. Be proud because we will be for ever thankful of all the efforts you and your team put in to our extremely special day.

— Sarah and Nick, December 2017

“A huge thank you to the team, especially Jodie who was fantastic on the day as she managed absolutely everything to perfection. Also, Dave, for not just on the day but for always being so helpful and reassuring throughout the process - he was great and my Dad was so thrilled with the service he provided through the bar.
Absolutely everything on our day was perfect and we cannot thank you enough. Being foodies (and an event control freak on my part) it was amazing to have almost every guest mention how the food was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding and how stunning the venue/day was. Thank you! 
— Sophie and James, December 2017

“Just perfect! We got married in November and it is a fantastic venue for a winter wedding. The staff and organisation is second to none. Flora, our wedding coordinator on the day, was simply amazing. It is a truly stunning venue and made even more gorgeous by our superb florist Beth Cox at Go Wild flowers. The delicious food, the free flowing drinks and gorgeous venue created the most fantastic atmosphere. I really cannot recommend this venue enough!

— Marguerite & Eddy, November 2017

“We would like to say a huge THANK YOU for an absolutely amazing day – it seemed you also managed to arrange the perfect weather for us as well!

The whole day was brilliant from start to finish. The relaxed atmosphere in the barn meant that we had exactly the wedding we wanted – informal, fun and happy. The staff were excellent, keeping guests topped up along the way. Everyone absolutely loved the barn and the food – and are still talking about it. We couldn’t have wished for more.

— Julie & Johnny, November 2017

“Cripps have 100% got the whole organising a wedding finely tuned! Making planning the wedding easy! The website saved hours of trawling the Internet many options for suppliers, recommended by Cripps was very comforting. The messaging system made everything clear & simple My messages were always answered quickly. We met to discuss the details we were excited you guys made us feel like our wedding was the only one. Your staff’s excitement & passion for what they do is extraordinary. Considering you do weddings most days that is a serious love for your job & a very happy team a credit to you. The theme for our wedding was woodland fairytale what better place to make this come to life than this beautiful venue. We got married inside the British summer didn’t play ball but it was perfect & certainly not in anyway a disappointment in fact you could not have topped it. The feeling I got when I walked into the barn will stay with me forever it looked incredible and was so full of love & magic my heart was ready to burst. The whole day was seamless not even noticing the staff making everything happen. Jodie looked after us throughout the day she was superb felt like an old friend there whenever we needed. Nothing too much trouble & again full of that Cripps barn magic. You guys undoubtedly know how to throw the best wedding & anybody considering this venue needs to listen to this. Everything was perfect everything. Our hearts are full of magical memories & each time we think back to our special day we are filled with that magical Cripps feeling. Thank you truly.

“We had the most perfect day we could have wished for at Cripps Barn. Nothing was too much for the staff there. We can’t thank them enough for all their help leading up to the day and on the day. The venue location is just incredible and very picturesque.

“We fell in love with Cripps Barn from the moment we saw it, and at no stage during the process did it disappoint! The venue itself is totally gorgeous, and all our guests commented on how stunning it was - it really was the perfect setting for our special day. The staff in the lead up to the wedding and on the day were brilliant, Jodie was so lovely and organised our day fantastically. The food was yummy, we had the meat platter - all our guests loved it. The desert was out of this world - we had the chocolate fondant - the only downside was that we were so full we couldn’t eat more than 1 portion. We would both recommend Cripps Barn to everyone and anyone! Thank you to everyone at Cripps who was involved. It was the most magical venue for our perfect day.

“We had a sensational day with you, thank you so much. The venue was stunning of course, the food amazing (a vegetarian guest said it was the best vegetarian option they had ever had at a wedding, and even the vegan food was delicious). The team could have not been more helpful.

“We were guests at a wedding last week and felt compelled to send our thanks to the team at Cripps Barn. From the moment we drove into the grounds of what can only be described as a simply stunning venue to the moment we left we were left in awe of the sheer quality of every single element of the day. The barn and grounds were jaw-droppingly beautiful (it’s hard for a Yorkshireman to say this about anywhere other than my home county!). The staff were absolutely wonderful and attentive, the food was sumptuous and the overall experience was absolutely incredible. Once again our heartfelt thanks to the entire team who did such a wonderful job in the day.

“The setting of Cripps Barn speaks for itself, it is surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside and has lots of outdoor space for your guests to spend time in. Before the wedding, the staff were incredible - so helpful and accommodating for our needs. The food tasting event was brilliantly organised and we got to try all the delicious food (which made choosing really difficult!). On the day, all the food was divine and our guests were raving about how amazing it all was. We would definitely recommend the beef brick with each table having a chef to carve the meat - was great fun. Cripps are booked up most of the year and for very good reason. It is a magical wedding venue with exceptional staff and facilities. You will be bowled over if you choose this as your wedding venue and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

“My daughter’s wedding was held at your Cripps Barn last Thursday and I just wanted to say thank you to your staff for making it such a fantastic day. The whole venue looked wonderful, the stone barn, the reception area, the gardens and patio were all prepared to a very high standard. The people serving and attending to our requirements were extremely attentive to each of the guests without ever appearing intrusive. They were invisible most of the time except when they were required, and I wasn’t alone in this comment. The food was the best that I have had at any wedding and there was plenty of it. Most of the guests I spoke to commented on the fun in dressing up in the apron and chef’s hat and carving the meat. You should be very proud of the people that are working for you and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who was thinking of arranging a wedding. Once again thank you for helping to make my daughter and son-in-law’s day so wonderful.

“I just wanted to drop you all a little note now that we are home from honeymoon, to say a huge thank you for a wonderful day. The whole team were amazing, they felt like part of the gang whilst also making sure we had the most fantastic day and that our guests were well looked after. From the help with decorations, to recommending the very best suppliers, to making the most delicious food and keeping the drinks flowing. Everything was absolutely perfect, and your team managed all of this on the hottest day of the year without a pause. Our guests were super impressed with the food, the gorgeous venue,and the almighty rave up that followed. A massive shout out and special mention to Jodie, our fabulous front of house support who was a total rock and a joy to have around on the day. Well done Jodie, it was a scorcher and you soldiered on like it was nothing. Thanks Cripps, what a wonderful place and we will cherish the memories forever.

“From the first time we came to see Cripps to the actual big day itself, we have loved this venue in its entirety. The venue itself is perfect, rural, tucked away in a beautiful location with perfect views all around (great photograph opportunities). Intimate enough for out 50 or so guests without making us feel swamped. We got married outside in the glade with a humanist celebrant. The wonderful thing about Cripps was that they had the option of inside the barn or outside, each equally as beautiful as the other. This really swung it for us in terms of choice. The staff are brilliant, they are extremely experienced and very good at what they do - making people’s big days perfect. No detail was left out and our front of house (Jodie) and meeting planner (Flora) made the whole process smooth and enjoyable, taking a lot of stress as away. Always on hand to answer my last minute questions and handle my panics on the phone. Couldn’t rate them highly enough. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food it was cooked to absolute perfection. The chef accommodated our dietary needs perfectly even at last minute which goes to show that this is a venue that does go the extra mile to make your day a perfect one. Quick and no-fuss serving on big platters. The waiters replaced drinks on the table timely and efficiently. Camping - this was a major positive for us. A lot of our guests opted to camp alongside the venue with us (Canvas Cottage - a glamping company can be found on the Cripps website).

“We have so much to thank you for, I don’t know where to start. The whole day was perfect from start to finish thanks to all of you. The food was sublime – we had a lot of people say it was the best wedding food they have ever had, and we definitely agree. The venue is just wonderful, and you just made everything look effortless, but I know how much hard work goes into it. It was truly the best day of our lives – so many amazing memories. We hope to be back very soon, we are encouraging our friends to get married at Cripps too!

— Florence & Ian. June 2017

“Just wanted to say an enormous thank you for everything - we both agreed that there’s not a single thing we’d change, or that didn’t go perfectly. Much of that is down to how helpful and brilliant you all are. Thank you for making planning the wedding so easy and the day so stunning and seamless.

— Kate & Mark. June 2017

“Cripps Barn is a stunning venue and everyone was completely in awe of the place. The flower girls and page boy loved having all the beautiful grounds to run freely in.
