Every corner of The Tithe Barn provides a breath-taking backdrop for your wedding day. Set gently alongside the River Great Ouse, the venue is blessed with serene waterside views and lawns that change beautifully with the seasons.

  • Newlyweds

    We just wanted to reach out and say the biggest thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day so perfect. It was everything we hoped for — and more.

    The whole day ran so seamlessly, and we can’t thank you enough for how smoothly everything flowed. Every detail was exactly as we’d envisioned, and you and your team followed our instructions so thoughtfully. Everyone commented on how beautiful everything looked. We honestly can’t thank you enough.

    Your attention to detail was impeccable. You noticed everything, even down to realising that the groom’s mum had been given alcohol and so kindly offering her an alternative — such a small gesture but one that really reflected your care and professionalism.

    The entire team were wonderful. Please pass on our thanks to everyone for helping make the most beautiful day we could have ever imagined.

  • Happy Couple

    I just wanted to say thank you for making our day so special. All of the communication leading up to the day was easy. Communication and organisation on the day with seamless handovers was exceptional. The venue was beautiful and you even delivered sunshine
    You’re all warm, friendly and really wanted us to make sure we had our perfect day, which we did. Can’t thank you all enough.
