5 Reasons Why You Should Get Married In A Barn

With a natural colour scheme, and brick or wood walls and floors, you don’t have to worry about clashing with the wallpaper or carpet! Stunning beams are just one of the magical features of having your wedding in a barn. Tudor Barn also has a stained glass Tudor window and beautiful fairy lights and seasonal flowers on the beams. Barns are so versatile; you can dress them up with lots of glamour and sparkle, or keep things natural with a vintage, country or rustic theme. Tudor Barn is rich in over 500 years of history dating back to the 1525.

Become Part of History 
Barns are full of history and stories which give them that extra charm and character – making each and every wedding truly unique. Tudor Barn is a large brick barn in Eltham in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It was built in 1525 by William Roper. The Ropers lived next door in a manor house in the center of a moat for several years. William married Margaret More, the daughter of Thomas More, and one of the most learned women of sixteenth-century England.

Escape to the country
Escaping to a barn for the night or a long weekend isn’t something you get to experience too often! A relaxing retreat to a barn for just the two of you and your family makes the perfect end to a perfect day. Barn’s can usually be in very remote locations so it’s always best to check transport and accommodation in advance.

Stunning Gardens
Whether it’s glorious private parklands or public garden’s you are sure to capture this beauty within your wedding photo’s. Not only do you and you guests have the excitement of exploring the grounds during the drinks, but you also have the added fun of outdoor entertainment. Lawn games, bouncy castles, live singers – you name it! The possibilities are endless especially if you choose to go for a summer wedding. 

Have Your Cake And Eat It Too!
Barn’s are usually very versatile with different options for your entire day. Usually exclusive for your special day this means that you have the flexibility to have the day you have always wanted and not be fixed around the venue’s timings. Ask the questions at the beginning, can we move our ceremony time? Can we have our own catering. It’s your day after all – don’t be afraid to ask!
