Links & Recommended Services
Our "Oak Barn" venue is in its first year, but over the last twenty years we have been providing outside catering services for weddings and other special events. Over time we have met many companies and individuals who offer event related services such as florists, musicians and photographers.
The links here are to some of these, all of which we would highly recommend.

Church/Civil Ceremonies
Whether you choose a church ceremony or civil ceremony at our Oak Barn, Hannah Olivia will make your service truly memorable. She can sing whilst guests are arriving, through the signing of the registrar as well as when guests are leaving. She is happy to sing whatever you require, so feel free to ask if there is a particular song that you want sung that is personal to you and your partner.
Reception Drinks at the Oak Barn
Jazz and easy listening songs create a wonderful atmosphere and an extra touch of class to your wedding day. Whilst guests are sipping champagne and eating canapés inside our Oak Barn or outside in our grounds, there is nothing more magical than wonderful live music to entertain them whilst the photographs are being taken.
