Testimonials What Others Say
We knew as soon as we visited that we wanted to get married at Barley Wood House. You get it for the whole weekend, it has accommodation on site, a beautiful outdoor ceremony location, gardens, terrace, hall and dance floor. The multiple locations in the building make the whole day very smooth, the dance floor in particular was just perfect with our band! You can chose your own catering, we used Coexist (Bristol based community kitchen) who were so perfect and lots of people seemed to like. We particularly love Zach, who works at BWH, who is so kind, knowledgeable and helpful - he made sure our weekend went so smoothly, we just had the best weekend we could imagine.
I had my wedding here over the weekend of the 18th of October, and what an absolutely stunning weekend it was.
Zach and the team were a dream to work with, and the day could not have run more smoothly.
The venue is stunning, do not be put off by the blank canvas you are presented with, it allows you to have your day exactly how you want it. It can cost as much or as little as you like, and be as simple or extravagant as you please.

The venue itself is beautiful; don't be discouraged by the blank canvas it presents. This flexibility allows you to design your day exactly as you envision it. You can tailor the costs to fit your budget and choose a style that is as simple or extravagant as you desire.
Barley Wood truly felt like our own home for the weekend, and we were genuinely sad to leave on Sunday.

Beautiful wedding venue with the freedom to dress however you want. Having the weekend to set up get married and then pack down made me feel that they really valued you and wanted to make your day as special as possible. Everything felt really personal and not like we were going to a wedding factory. We had the most beautiful day and the range in the grounds created the most beautiful pictures.
What an amazing venue! We absolutely fell in love with Barley Wood House when we first saw it (and met the brilliant Zach!) and we couldn't have asked for more.
We had perfect weather to fully enjoy all the outside spaces and got married (twice!) in the summer house (officially with the registrars on the Friday and then by our good friend / unofficial celebrant on the Saturday). We wanted a family-friendly space and this worked perfectly. Being able to stay all weekend was the cherry on top - the bedrooms are spectacular and it was lush having our closest people with us for the whole time.
Special thanks to Zach for his unflappable support, excellent advice throughout, quick replies and calm presence on the day, making sure it all went smoothly - legend; Connor for being a quiet trooper for the weekend; brilliant Bev and Steve for supplying the bar, and all our amazing suppliers who made it so special.
It was a perfect weekend. Wish we could do it again!

We had our wedding at Barley Wood, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is stunning, with breathtaking views that made our day feel so special. Zach and the caretaker went above and beyond to help us – they were incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating throughout the whole process. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to their support. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Barley Wood to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding venue!
Beautiful wedding venue
We got married here in July and it was amazing! We spent a long time choosing a venue - we wanted somewhere that we could personalise and Barley Wood is ideal for that. Having it for the whole weekend was ideal as we could decorate on the Friday and didn't have to leave early on the Sunday (like a lot of the DIY style venues demand), plus we got to spend extra time with our family and friends staying at the venue. We also loved that we had total freedom over catering for the day and eve - we could've done a BBQ, picnic, three course meal - totally up to us!
Zach was just excellent. We both clicked with him straight away - his honest, efficient and easygoing approach suited us perfectly. He responded to any enquiries quickly and comprehensively from first contact to the wedding.
We had 100 guests and our ceremony was outdoors with the beautiful Somerset views, our meal was in the hall, and evening reception in the downstairs room which has aircon - essential in the heatwave! Guests could spill out onto the patio and lawn too, where we had some outdoor games that Barley Wood provided.
There are 9 large bedrooms so you can host quite a lot of people if needed, and there's a nice kitchen to use for the weekend. They have loads of extra bits too like a huge fridge for things like your cakes, plus cutlery, crockery, table cloths, cake stands, mason jar drink dispensers, coffee urns etc etc.
Overall, an excellent choice if you want a wedding that feels specific to you, in a beautiful setting. We had the best weekend!!!
