Is it too late to get married in 2026 at Brookfield Barn?

Short answer? Absolutely not.

If you’re reading this thinking, “Surely it’s far too late to plan a wedding this year…”  let us stop you right there. There’s still plenty of time to plan an amazing wedding that takes place in 2026. In fact, some of the most joyful, relaxed and memorable weddings we host at Brookfield Barn are planned in months, not years.

If getting married this year hasn’t even crossed your mind because it feels too soon, or if you’ve found yourself saying “We really should book something…” and suddenly realised 2026 has already arrived, we’re here to help.

First things first: dates do still exist

While some dates are snapped up far in advance, there are still beautiful dates available in 2026. But don’t just take our word for it; we make it easy for you to see our remaining dates with our live, interactive availability calendar. We’re also completely transparent with our pricing. None of this filling in your details, and someone will get back to you. Our dates, prices, and offers are all available on the calendar.

Why Brookfield Barn works so well for shorter planning times

Some venues require years of planning. Brookfield Barn really doesn’t.

Here’s why couples love planning with us when time feels a little tighter:

 

One beautiful, versatile space

Ceremony, drinks, dining and dancing all flow seamlessly through the barn, bar and terrace. No need for transport or complicated logistics.

An experienced, hands-on events team

From the moment you book, we guide you through every step calmly. Clear timelines, friendly check-ins, and people who genuinely care.

On-site accommodation

A honeymoon suite, dressing room and guest bedrooms mean fewer things to organise elsewhere and a much more relaxed wedding morning.

Nature does a lot of the styling for you

The lake, the countryside views, the open skies… when your backdrop is this good, you don’t need to overthink the rest.

How to plan a wedding in six months (yes, really)

If six months feels ambitious, here’s the reassuring truth: it’s completely doable with the right venue and a clear plan.

Month 1: Book the big things:

– Secure your venue (aka, us)

– Lock in your ceremony type (indoor or outdoor, we’ve got you covered)

– Choose your date and guest numbers

Month 2–3: The fun decisions:

– Food and drink selections with our team

– Photographer, florist, music

– Dress or outfit shopping (you’ll be surprised how quickly this can happen)

Month 4–5: Pulling it together:

– Styling choices

– Final guest list and invitations

– Timings and flow of the day

Month 6: Enjoy it:

– Final details meeting

– Tables, place names, playlists

– A deep breath because it’s all handled

 

Shorter planning timelines often mean less second-guessing and more confidence in your choices. It’s refreshingly freeing.
