  • "The food at the venue was absolutely amazing. We chose the relaxed menu for the day and had pizzas in the evening. We also opted for some fun extras, including the crisps wall and s’mores, which went down a treat with our guests.

    A huge shoutout to Julie, our incredible wedding coordinator, who truly went above and beyond, from helping with the setup to regularly checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly.

    We couldn’t recommend Milling Barn enough."

  • "Aimie and her team made the day run so smoothly and set everything up as we wished for! The ceremony barn is stunning & the set up for evening food and the party in the main barn flowed seamlessly into the best day ever. Highly recommend as a wedding venue but also the team were excellent. Thank you again! "

  • "From the moment we first visited we knew that this venue was the one for us. The venue is just so pretty it doesn’t need loads of decorations.
    We were assigned Niamh as our wedding planner and she was great from start to finish and especially on the day, they go above and beyond to make sure everything is exactly how you want it and make sure you’re at ease.
    The day went seamlessly and it was everything we had wished for and more!
    The food was amazing and so was the breakfast in the morning.
    The only downside was that the accommodation, some of the rooms didn’t have mugs and some essentials, none of the rooms had hot water in the taps and other than the honeymoon suit, all of the rooms have a green light that was so bright some of our guests couldn’t sleep.
    Overall we loved our wedding, we definitely chose the right venue for us and we want to do it all over again!
    Thank you to Niamh and all the staff at milling barns for making our day perfect!"
