York Barn at Villa Farm Reviews
The team behind the stunning venue can't do enough for their couples and we are genuinely sad to not be in regular contact now that our wedding is over as we really do consider them friends. Our wedding went without a hitch thanks to our coordinators Nicole and Corrina and the rest of the team!
We truly had the best day and we had zero worries or concerns as everything was taken care of. The venue itself is beautiful. We were so lucky to have an outdoor ceremony in the grounds and our wedding breakfast inside was everything we hoped. They were really understanding when it came to our decorations and vision and we could not be more thankful! Thank you so much guys for giving us the best day of our lives so far! Rose&Rob
We met with Nicole for an initial viewing back in July 2021 and felt instantly looked after. She kept in touch with us regularly and her professional expertise really shone through. She helped us create a detailed timeline of our day and co-ordinated everything for us, we never had the opportunity to feel stressed! Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, she was absolutely fantastic.
We had planned to get married outside but unpredictable weather meant a quick turn around to facilitate the ceremony inside. Corrina, Nicole and their team were absolutely fantastic - not only did they treat us with kindness and patience when trying to make a decision but the military precision in which the team can turn the room around is amazing.
The team were so committed to making our day as special as possible. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about all the staff - we particularly enjoyed the bar staff dancing behind the bar! The staff didn’t feel like staff, it felt as though they were extra guests which was lovely!
We also stayed in Blossom Cottage on-site which was excellent - the team even took our cards back to the cottage during the evening do and filled up the dishwasher while they were there! The day after we headed back to the barn to clear away our decorations only to find that they had done most of the work for us and all we had to do was load up the car.
We would absolutely recommend York Barn to anyone. Such a lovely venue and team within it that doesn’t even have a hint of “corporate” about it. We will be forever grateful to everyone there who made the whole experience unforgettable - special shout out to Nicole who “never gets in the pictures” but totally deserves the recognition! Love from the Richardson-Forsters x
Both Corina and Nicole the wedding coordinators went above and beyond from the first enquiry to everything on the day itself. They are friendly, approachable and nothing is too much hassle. My mum hadn’t been well and not been to visit villa farm but went she met Nicole and explained her situation she put my mum at ease. She made her feel comfortable and nothing was expected from her but she’d be looked after regardless.
Communication from villa farm was top notch and emails was replied to daily. We got to visit the grounds even though the barn was closed and we wasn’t staying on site. We stayed in the cottages the weekend of the wedding and had a bbq and the staff pulled them round for us. They was excited to share our wedding journey like it was there own.
Everything ran smoothly and that was partly due to the experience of Nicole and her team. They always had a smile on there face. I’d love to relive our wedding day and can’t wait to come back again and again to relive the memories. Lots of our guests commented to us about the venue and how amazing it was. The grounds for pictures are insane and getting married outside was lovely.
York Barn was the only wedding venue we viewed and as soon as we saw it we know it was the one for us. The venue itself is so well planned and thought-out, clean and super pretty. There are hooks everywhere to attach decorations, built in sound system and we loved the farmhouse tables available for use! We ideally wanted to get married outside so York Barn provided a beautiful option for us to do this, and we were lucky with the weather on the day allowing guests to be able to enjoy the outside and the terrace. We also loved that we could also choose our caterers which allowed us to personalise our wedding the way we wanted.
One of the biggest benefits to the venue were the lovely holiday cottages on site. We wanted to make a weekend out of the wedding rather than it just being the day, and living in London with lots of friends travelling we knew this would be a huge bonus. We had over 80 friends and family staying on site on the Friday and Saturday nights, allowing us to plan activities for the Friday and wander round reminiscing on the Sunday. The cottages are very well equipment, lovely and clean and perfect for a weekend away with your friends – the hot tubs were well used!
The icing on the cake for Villa Farm is the team. Nicole was our main contact running up to the wedding and she was incredible. She understood everything we wanted to do and was over every details of our day, we did not have to worry. She was also so quick to respond, provide her expert guidance and advice when needed and supported us with anything we wanted to do, even our confetti pony. Nothing was too much of an ask! The other team members on the day were also excellent. Corrina was there throughout with a smile on her face at all times making sure everything was perfect! Adam – well what can I say, he was there with his ladder when we needed, the golf buggy to bring us round, sorted everything out for Pepper (our confetti pony) and was there with a sweeping brush at the end of the night! Yrina made sure the drinks were flowing!
We would recommend York Barn to anyone – it is the most perfect place and you will be looked after from start to finished. I wish everyday we could go back and do it again – it was the best day of our lives. Thank you so much York Barn, Villa Farm team!
The cottages on site were spotlessly clean, really nicely decorated and had everything you could want or need during your wedding weekend. Our whole family and wedding party stayed in them and loved it. The team were brilliant, especially Nicole, who was our main contact. She was incredible from start to finish, quick to respond to all our of queries no matter how big or small, she was patient with our requests, thoughtful about every little detail and she was possibly the calmest person I've ever met, which was so incredibly reassuring. The team at Villa Farm are so experienced and knowledgeable, they think about every tiny detail to make sure your wedding day runs incredibly smoothly and allow you to have the best day ever without worrying about a single thing! We cannot recommend this venue more strongly. We even went back recently for a Christmas party and we were welcomed with big hugs and a lovely note in our seats welcoming us back and offering us a drink on the house. If that doesn't show you how much this team go the extra mile I don't know what will! Honestly, it was a dream and I would go back and do it all again every week if I could! Thanks Villa Farm.
