Venue and Location
Pros:
"A truly stunning venue with a welcome to rival its views."
"From the stunning landscapes, gorgeous barn and amazing team."
"Beautiful location for my daughter's wedding."
"The scenery is breathtaking and the barn itself has such a homely, relaxed feel."
"The venue itself is perfect - the ceremony barn, reception barn, outdoor areas and stunning views were commented on by all of our guests."
"Absolutely beautiful venue, visited for a friends wedding and it looked perfect."
"Venue and scenery is beautiful, staff were wonderful."
"The building itself is just the right mix of rustic (exposed wood beams and natural stone) together with the modern glass frontage and beautiful patio/garden area."
Cons:
"Very pretty, new venue. Long, narrow main room where the ceremonies held. We were near the back. Difficult to hear."
"Not enough comfortable chairs for the older visitors that have aches and pains, especially the chairs we sat on when having your meal."
"The whole place was spotlessly clean, but there's so much room to put your own stamp on the day with decor and for guests to roam."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"The staff really went above and beyond for her and made the day so memorable."
"Staff, service, the food, the support and of course the venue itself all just breathtaking!!"
"The barn was unreal for the ceremony and wedding breakfast."
"Staff very attentive and all ran very smoothly."
"The staff are lovely, friendly and very attentive to all your needs."
"The owners were lovely, so helpful and accommodating they should be really proud of themselves and the staff."
"The family that run it are so well organised and make that extra special effort to make the day so much better."
"We were greeted by Cliff when we showed up who was professional and friendly."
Cons:
"Ordered vegetarian baguettes. Didn't arrive. Asked again; told there were only bacon baguettes and the chef had left."
"As ever, the band was far far too loud. (Though they were very good.)"
"I would like to say that I think this is the best wedding venue in the U.K.! I wish you all the good luck in the future not that you will need it as you truly are wonderful in what you do!"
Management and Organization
Pros:
"The organisational skills of the entire team were incredible which made the run up to our day very straightforward and stress free."
"The organisational skills of the Harker family were super smooth."
"In the run up to the wedding, the Harker family and the rest of the team at Eden Barn were so helpful and supportive."
"The effort and professionalism of all the staff was exceptional."
"Cliff and the team were really friendly, welcoming and helpful."
"Cliff, Carolyn and their daughter Andrea felt like an extension of the family with all the planning and making our day perfect, we really can't thank them enough."
"The family are so warm, welcoming and genuine which made it extra special."
"The Harkers took all the stress away on the day by organising and guiding us through from start to finish."
Cons:
"The one thing I would say is that I wasn't the biggest fan of one of our guests being required to play our ceremony music."
"Single track roads on approach to the venue need s little care but otherwise, no problems getting there."
"The slight disadvantage was because of its location not all guest can book and stay."
