Some very wet conditions on the farm this year led us to planting some phacelia outside the wedding barnโ€ฆ. And look how well itโ€™s turned out!!! ๐Ÿชป๐Ÿชป๐Ÿชป๐Ÿชป๐Ÿชป๐Ÿชป

Words like this always make our day, thank you M & S...

'We had the best wedding day at Chidham Barn. It is the most beautiful venue and all of our guests had such a great time! It has a lovely rustic and rural charm. We also loved the fact it was a blank canvas venue as we had the freedom to choose our own suppliers and be creative.'

A huge thank you to A & E for sharing these stunning snaps and wonderful feedback, we loved having you โค๏ธ

'The location of Chidham barn is absolutely perfect. Our guests were in awe of how beautiful and private the barn was! The fields were a wonderful backdrop for our photos and the barn was a blank canvas, which we were able to decorate to our liking; it also stayed nice and cool so people didn't overheat in the sun. During the entire reception, we were in our own little bubble surrounded by the most incredible people in a gorgeous setting. The fire in the evening was the icing on the cake; it was lovely to see our friends and family gathered around the fire taking in the sunset. Susan was fantastic from start to finish, she was so helpful with information and made a real effort to get to know our families and those involved in the wedding to make sure everything ran as smoothly as possible.'
