You have waited many months for today and now it is finally here. All of your planning is a distant memory, and our talented Catering and Events Team are hard at work creating your perfect day and menu. You have most likely been here a few times now, so you know your way, but make sure to allow plenty of time for your journey here.
From 9 am you will be able to access the stylish Preparation Room. This dedicated space is designed for that all-important pampering and is furnished with everything you could need for putting the finishing touches to your look. Feeling peckish? We have a selection of grazing boards and drinks you can order to keep your energy levels up as you get ready
As you are putting together the final touches in the Preparation Room, our Events Team will greet your guests and direct them up to the beautiful Barn or Pergola. Our licensed bar will be open for guests to purchase refreshments before the ceremony. The bar will close 30 minutes before the start time to give guests time to finish their drinks and take their seats.
Our Events Team will greet your guests and direct them to the Barn or the Pergola if you’re having an outdoor ceremony
Just before the ceremony, you will both (separately) answer a few questions with the registrar. This is an informal chat so you are both prepared for the next steps.
Your nearest and dearest will be seated and awaiting your imminent arrival. Get ready for some of the most important words you will ever say!
After your ceremony, mingle with your loved ones on the Terrace or in the Lounge and Bar and treat them to a memorable drinks reception. A Prosecco bar or cocktail station coupled with a mouth-watering plethora of canapés will certainly go down a treat.
Your photographer will whisk you away to some of the most romantic spots in Brookfield Barn, making full use of the lakeside location and idyllic grounds.
It’s time for your guests to take their seats for a marvellous feast served from our brand new kitchen while they wait for you to be introduced into the beautiful Barn.
There is plenty of space in our purpose-built barn for your wedding breakfast, and the Events Team will have prepared the room just how you wanted it. It’s now time for your first meal as a married couple.
Brookfield Barn is yours to enjoy as you wish, so it is up to you whether you hold your speeches before or after the wedding breakfast. Once you have finished your meal, head back into the Lounge and Bar, the central hub of your evening reception, while you await the arrival of your evening guests. Your evening entertainment can take this opportunity to discreetly set up and get everything ready for the perfect party.
Your evening guests will arrive and start to join the party, give them the warmest of welcomes with a glass of prosecco on arrival (please speak to our team for more information on food and drink upgrades). If necessary, we can subtly adjust the room layout to accommodate a larger party, and make room for the dance floor, of course.
It is time to turn the music up and dance the night away with the ones you love. Both bands and DJs work well in the Barn; the terrific acoustics lend themselves to either performer.
As evening falls, you can treat your guests to an array of stunning food options from our outdoor Lakeside Kitchen. The chefs will cook anything from wood-fired pizzas to American barbecue and fragrant wok food all before your eyes, which can either be served outside as the sun sets or indoors should the weather take a turn for the worse.
At this time, the terrace doors from the Barn to the Terrace are closed so your guests can enjoy the party indoors with you.
Your bar manager will call last orders and start to draw the night to a close. It is time for one last drink and a final dance with your friends and family.
Your DJ or band will turn down the tempo and change the evening music to a calmer level, making it the perfect time for you to say thank you and goodnight.
We ask that guests who aren’t staying the night vacate the venue by midnight. We recommend local taxis are booked in advance to avoid disappointment.
Gather together once again our bright and airy Breakfast Room and enjoy a delicious breakfast all together. This is a wonderful way to end your time at Brookfield Barn as you reminisce about your big day with family and friends.
Your items from the day before will be collated and ready for you when you leave, so it is time to say your final goodbyes to your guests, our team and to Brookfield Barn.
We wish you the best of luck with married life!
Where glorious countryside meets breathtaking lakeside views. Where you can say ‘I do’ at the water’s edge and celebrate under enchanting oak beams. Private, peaceful and picturesque.
