To all at The Ashes, We just wanted to say a huge thank you to and especially our co-ordinator Jayne, for all your hard work and dedication in helping us have such an amazing day. We couldn't be any happier with how the day went - even the weather turned up! It's a day we'll never forget.

Thank you once again for all that you did on our wedding day. From showing us around, to planning, all the preparation and set up, as well as making sure everything was just perfect on the day. Without all your help, our day would not have been as amazing as it was!

Thank you so much for making our wedding day so truly amazing! We had the most perfect day and would not change a single second of it! Lots of Love!!

Thank you so much for an incredible wedding. The day was truly perfect. You were fantastic Dawn. We couldn't of asked for a better day!

We can't begin to thank you enough for helping make our wedding day so special and perfect! Lot of love xx

We just wanted to say a big thank you for making our day really special. The Day was absolutely seamless and everybody had a fantastic time and couldn't get over how nice the venue was!! Thank you for all your hard work, we had the best day ever!!

I haven't been able to find a card that expresses the words we feel. From beginning to end, you have all been outstanding. I remember how enthusiastically Sarah showed us around the barns for the first time...although we were getting married abroad, it was really important to me that our reception venue was just as special. Dawn, you have been the perfect guide - your understanding, compassion and patience is appreciated more than you know, you put us at ease and ensured us everything would be ok! Please pass on our thanks to Jackie and Dave who helped make such a brilliant job of our decorations. Everyone has been so impressed with the barns, the impeccable service and the most wonderful food served!

I am sure (having experienced your hospitality) that i will be one of many previous guests to thank you for your impeccable work on Tuesday. All staff members, without exception, have been absolutely outstanding in terms of friendliness, customer relations and professionalism. Along with Guy and Jo and ALL of the guests, who have had the most fabulous time at The Ashes, many, many thanks!

The venue is wonderful and the layout worked perfectly for us as the ceremony barn was seamlessly turned into a casino with pic'n'mix and Photo Booth during the breakfast. The venue was just as we wanted it when we arrived on the morning. Dawn and the team did an amazing job on the day to make sure everything went smoothly and were flexible with the schedule while we were enjoying our day. The day went without a hitch, family and friends all commented on how amazing the day was, so thank you to Dawn and the team for making it such an amazing day!

With out you, our day would not of been as perfect as it was. Words cannot express how grateful we are for all your hard work. The Ashes is an amazing wedding venue and it is made extra special by the fantastic staff.

Thank you for making our day run so smoothly, Everyone has been so friendly and professional, you guys really took the stress out of the wedding which allowed us to fully enjoy and appreciate the day.

We both wanted to let you know how fantastic you made our day. We absolutely loved it, as did our guests. Thank you so much for all your time and kindness.

The Ashes Team,
thank you for all your help and advice. You were all so kind and helpful. The building is absolutely beautiful and we couldn't of been happier with the venue.
Thank you all so much!

James and I just wanted to say how wonderful you all were in making our dream wedding day come true. You were so fantastic in setting the venue up and ensured everything was sorted down to the very last detail. I know that both parents felt like the whole day went without a hitch. We really did have the best day of our lives and can't imagine a day at another venue!

The Ashes venue was the first thing we booked post engagement. From initial consultation to the days after the wedding the whole team have just been fantastic. Our wedding did not follow the usual set up or flow and the Ashes team were more than accomodating in helping us achieve our vision for the big day. As a result we were able to have live drums, a steel band, a horse, smoke bombs, a drone, coffee patron and sparklers to name but a few things! We could not recommend the Ashes team highly enough, a beautiful lush location and team that truly look after you.

The best venue we could have ever wished for. It really was the best day of our lives.

From the moment we saw the Ashes online we knew it was he perfect venue for our wedding. We had the most amazing wedding day. All of the staff were friendly and knowledgeable on the run up to the wedding day and on the wedding day itself. The catering staff were brilliant and the service the provided outstanding. Our events manager Steph was professional and approachable. She made us feel very relaxed on the run up to the wedding and made sure the day ran smoothly. A brilliant venue where we had the perfect wedding day with memories to last a life time.

I can't thank you enough for the attention to detail and all your friendly advice. Keep doing what you do as I couldn't have asked for anything more. Our day was absolutely perfect. Thank you.

We would like to thank you and your team of helpers for the excellent support they all gave Phil and Sophia on their wedding day 18/06/16. The attention to detail was superb. The Ashes is Simply the Best!.

We just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for making our wedding day extra special. Everyone had a fantastic time. Everything went without a hitch and you were all fantastic. We wish we could do it all again - lol. Thanks again guys, keep up your amazing work!

Thank you so much for making our wedding day truly fantastic. All the beauty and splendour of the Ashes would have been nothing if not organised and well-run, which is exactly what you made it. We wish the very best of luck in everything to come and thank you once again.

I would like to say an enormous thank you to yourself and all your staff involved on the planning of my beautiful daughters wedding at The Ashes on Friday June 3rd. It was practically perfect! So much planning and preparation but it paid off. An amazing day enjoyed by all. Everyone who attended Laura and Sean's wedding said how fantastic it was, and those that weren't so lucky to be there have admired the photographs so much. Laura and Sean are so happy and it showed all day. Thank you and everyone again!

We would just like to say a massive thank you to yourself for making our wedding day so at ease and relaxed!! You didn't stop running around after us and making sure we had everything we needed! You made our day, thank you xx

We want to say a huge thank you to you all. Our special day was made so simple by you, everything ran so smoothly that we were able to completely relax and just enjoy ourselves, which is the whole point of the day! You were so helpful from our first visit all the way through to the big day, so thanks so much.

Jayne & the 'A Team'!

Thank you so much for everything you did before and during our Wedding Day! It truly was perfect and everything we could've asked for!

You are the best at what you do and it shines through - We wish we could do it all over again!

Just a quick note to say Thank You! to everyone who worked so hard to make our wedding day on 21/12/16 so special. We had a brilliant day and our guests gave us so much positive feedback about the venue and the food. The staff are a credit to the venue and I know it is a really well oiled machine not just those who help with planning but all the staff who turn up day after day to clean and tidy and help get everything ready. I know their days are very long and hard work. A final big thanks to Jayne she was great, kept on top of everything and was very calm and organised. We really appreciated everything and it made our day definitely a day to remember. Please pass on our thanks to all your team.

We wanted to send you a note to say thank you so much Sarah for all your help both in the run up & on the day. We honestly had the most perfect day and loved every minute of it. The Ashes is a stunning venue and speaks for itself but you and the rest of the team there make it that much more special.
Some of our friends are getting married at The Ashes next September and we can't wait to come back! Hopefully they will be as lucky as us with their event planner! You really did go above & beyond especially trying to control my uncle (toast master!!!)

Thanks again so much!

Love Holly & Andy x x x

A huge thank you to you all for making Holly & Andrew's wedding such a superb day. Our friends and family said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to, so that says it all. You have a wonderful venue in a beautiful settings. Special thanks to Sarah for her efficiency.

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for all of your help in making our Wedding the most amazing day of our lives! It was truly amazing and the team did an incredible job for us!!

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say Thank You for all your help leading up to the wedding. It was brilliant that you were there all day to support us and the service from you and the team was fantastic. I'm so glad we found The Ashes, the venue is amazing and we had a perfect day. Thanks again!

Thank you for making our wedding the best day of our lives. Amazing! Despite running over sooooo much! Big thanks to everyone involved, but especially Sarah and also to Wendy from the catering side of things. Perfect day!

We would like to formerly thank everyone involved from the Ashes Wedding Venue, especially Jayne, your advice, preparation and involvement ensured everything flowed smoothly throughout the day and the evening.

We arrived early, anxious, stressed and nervous, we were greeted with smiles and helped with unloading the dresses and shown around the venue to see how magical it was looking. Within minutes of arriving it was clear the day was going to be a day to remember for us and all of our guests. The weather was excellent and we all had an amazing day which is in our hearts and memories forever. We also have loads of amazing pictures that were captured by the photographer.

Many of the guests have since been in touch to tell us the wedding was probably the best wedding they had ever been to.

We are extremely grateful for you all making our daughters wedding to Jaco a truly magnificent day.

Many thanks to you all,

Kind regards,

Stephen & Angela Buckingham

My wedding day was absolutely perfect! From the moment I arrived at The Ashes until the very end, Lisa you were extremely attentive! The venue that day was stunning made even more magical by the weather and I felt very blessed. The decoration of both barns was perfect - I couldn't have done a better job. I, unfortunately forgot my instructions which turned out to be for the best! The ceremony went without a hitch, and the bridal party were organised perfectly by Lisa when I was having a little moment of panic. Lisa never left me without a drink during the photographs and drinks reception and was hand at any given moment. Ben and Sarah, Lisa is a credit to your team and I cannot thank her enough for making my wedding day everything that I had dreamed of. To all the team - when I have phoned for help or sent emails, thank you for your support.

To all the staff at The Ashes Barns,
Just to send our biggest thanks for all the effort gone in to helping make our day so perfect. We wholeheartedly appreciate your efforts!

Hi Lisa,

I am writing to tell you how much we hold you in our hearts.

From start to finish The Ashes Barns have been phenomenal. The service we have received has been the best customer service we have ever experienced.

I have contacted you and your team on numerous occasions and the service has always been over the top helpful. From silly little questions to asking the same question 43 times to make sure I definitely heard it right the first time, no-one has ever shown us that we are irritating.

I didn't know what to expect, obviously having never done this before, so much time and effort goes into this day and to hand it over to someone (who you hope gets your vision right) is quite daunting. We felt so relaxed with you, you listened to us and you really are fabulous at your job. You interacted with my family, you made sure everything ran smoothly, all the little bits that people didn't realise but we did. Thank you.

Friends and family commented on how hard you worked and how everything seamlessly fell into place. In the morning, the breakfast was superb and really unexpected. Everyone in the house commented on how wonderful the breakfast service was too.I know you probably do so many weddings and they may all blurr into one. We want you to know, that you and your team have been phenomenal.

We wish we could do it all over again. If you ever doubt yourself, don't!

Lots of Love Kat & Scott xx
(16/04/19)

To Matthew and The Ashes Barns Team, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such a fabulous part of our special day. The Ashes will always be our most memorable place and we thank you for all your help, advice, support and hard work leading up to our day and on the day itself.
Love Lauren & David

Lots of love from Nicola and Craig X
(19/02/20)

Hello! Thank you to the entire team at The Ashes for the most amazing time on our wedding day. We’ve loved every minute of it, the organisation has been great, and it was so nice that we didn’t have to worry about the little details on the day e.g. the placement of all the decorations etc. Everything looked spectacular and we couldn’t have faulted anything. All our guests and families commented on how fantastic and beautiful the venue was - we had a lot of fans of your highland cattle as well!

We also wanted to personally thank Jayne who made sure the day ran smoothly and the way we’ve envisioned it. She’s done a great job and was so pleasant all the way through our planning.

We can't thank you enough - there’s not a single thing we’d have done differently (apart from perhaps getting less alcohol, but we’re stocked for good few months!!!).

Best wishes, Maggie & Martyn
(09/02/20)

Dear Lisa and all of The Ashes Team! Thank you so much for helping us plan such an amazing day! Our friends and family absolutely loved it, as did we! We could not have wished for a more beautiful venue. We have so many amazing memories from our special day at The Ashes.
Lots of love Judi and Andy. xxx
(07/12/19)

Our wedding at The Ashes was well organised and (relatively!) stress-free from the beginning. From our look around, to booking, to our planning meeting and the day itself, the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful with every aspect of the day. The friendliness of staff really stood out and made us feel relaxed during the whole process. We received the guidance we needed and recommendations of local suppliers, many of which we used for our wedding. It was so lovely to enjoy the planning process despite us getting married fairly soon after getting engaged. The venue was beautiful and we really could not have asked for anything more.
Staff were knowledgeable, friendly and well-presented. They went out of their way to ensure certain requests on the day which was very much appreciated.
Lisa was amazing - very helpful, always around but not too much and always close by if needed. She very much put our minds at ease and helped our day to run smoothly. We had a lot of positive comments about the venue too.
Thank you all for making it such a special day and one that we will remember for the rest of our lives!
Lauren & David (29/12/19)
