10 Reasons To Have A Romantic Barn Wedding

If there’s one day that’s all about romance and love, it’s your wedding day. To set the scene for the dreamiest day, you need a venue that provides the perfect backdrop and lots more besides. For pure romance, absolutely nothing can beat a barn wedding. Barn wedding venues really do have it all and if you’re planning a day that’s all about love, you’ll fall for the charms of a brilliant barn. Here are 10 reasons to have a romantic barn wedding and they’ll all make your heart beat a little faster.

1. A barn wedding venue, just like Rivervale Barn, means that you can host your whole day on one site. This means no wasted time moving between venues and more time spent enjoying your wedding and trust us when we say that every moment counts.

2. You’ll be spoilt for choice with your barn venue. At Rivervale Barn, you can choose to have your ceremony inside or outside in The Spinney. Outdoor ceremonies amongst the trees really make your day unique.

3. With your barn being exclusively yours, you’re able to decorate it any way you choose. Bring your wedding theme to life throughout the barn and at Rivervale, our neutral colour palette and paired-back décor gives you the chance to decorate in any way you wish. Alternatively, if you like the minimalist look, the natural beauty of Rivervale Barn creates the perfect backdrop. Oak pillars, huge windows, high ceilings and refined, luxurious décor puts a modern twist on the traditional barn interior.

4. A family owned wedding venue, just like Rivervale Barn, is extra special. Every wedding really means something to the team and the owners have built the barn with weddings in mind. Rivervale has, quite literally, been designed for romance.

5. Barns such as Rivervale that are solely used for weddings give you a real sense of exclusivity and you know that the only people on site during the day will be there for you. There are no comings and goings as you’d get at a hotel venue, no areas that are ‘off limits’ as at some stately homes, just the warmest of welcomes and the most beautiful of venues.

6. A brilliant barn wedding venue lets you, and your guests, relax. Yes, barns such as Rivervale are absolutely stunning (just take a look at the Ceremony Barn!) but they’re also warm and inviting with no hint of pretension. No one wants to feel on edge on their big day and a romantic barn offers laidback, carefree calmness to all.

7. The gardens and grounds that surround a barn venue give you the feeling of being away from all of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. At Rivervale Barn, you can wander in the beautiful gardens with drinks and canapes, relax in the Courtyard during the evening reception and simply enjoy the peace (until you hit the dancefloor, of course!)

8. At Rivervale Barn, you’ll love the attention to detail that’s everywhere. From the long mirrors and natural light in the Pamper Room that is your very own haven on the morning of the wedding to the delicious breakfast that’s delivered to the Cornstore Cottage on your first morning as a married couple. From the moment you step foot inside Rivervale Barn, you’ll feel special.

9. Barn wedding venues give you so many options and locations for fantastic photographs. With gardens, hidden romantic spots, spaces for group photos and unique backdrops, such as the Japanese Bridge at Rivervale, you’re guaranteed superb memories of your day.

10. You can enjoy a romantic barn wedding at any time of year. The gardens at Rivervale look perfect at any time of year, the barn is cool in the summer and warm and cosy in the winter. Romance lives here every day.
