When Dean and Ella envisioned their wedding day, they had a clear picture in mind. They wanted a celebration that was informal, playful, colourful, and above all, relaxed! By choosing Bachilton Barn for a full weekend experience, they managed to tick every single box, creating an unforgettable celebration where their favourite people could stay together, celebrate, and soak in the stunning countryside scenery.

Why Bachilton Barn?

For Dean and Ella, the appeal of Bachilton Barn was instant. The ability to have their guests stay on-site for the entire weekend was a massive selling point, alongside the beautiful scenery and the rustic, welcoming vibe of the venue.

When asked which part of Bachilton they enjoyed the most, their answer was simple: "ALL of it!!" From the ceremony spaces to the cottages, the yurts, and the evening party atmosphere, the entire venue became their own private haven for the weekend.

The Wedding Day

Describing their day as fun, informal, emotional, playful, and colourful, Dean and Ella loved every single second. For them, it was impossible to pick just one favourite moment. From the anticipation of getting ready and the emotion of walking down the aisle, to the incredible food, the bustling bar, and the energetic evening party, the day flowed flawlessly.

The guests were equally enchanted by the setup. The outdoor lawn games were a massive hit, and everyone loved the spacious layout, the scenic views, and the vibrant decor.

A huge part of the day's success was down to the seamless organisation. The couple and their guests couldn't praise Kayleigh enough, noting that she ran the day wonderfully and was absolutely "unreal" at keeping everything on track!

Suppliers Who Saved the Day

A wedding is a team effort, and Dean and Ella had an incredible lineup of suppliers.

A special shoutout goes to Emma, their florist, who went above and beyond in a moment of panic. When the couple realised they had forgotten about the arch for the ceremony space, Emma jumped straight into action, pulling together a stunning arrangement on the day to save the view!

Mary the celebrant delivered a brilliantly funny and interactive ceremony that set the perfect lighthearted tone for the rest of the day. For food and entertainment, All Wrapped Up were incredible, delivering exactly what the couple had dreamed of. Meanwhile, the photographer and videographer blended into the crowd so perfectly that they felt like part of the family, capturing authentic moments without ever being intrusive.

Advice for Future Couples

Reflecting on their perfect weekend, Dean and Ella have one main piece of advice for couples currently planning their Bachilton Barn wedding:

"Use the suppliers that have worked with Bachilton before like Regis and All Wrapped Up as they knew exactly how it went and helped it be so smooth."

With thorough planning beforehand and an expert team by their side, Dean and Ella’s wedding went exactly as they had hoped, leaving them with memories to last a lifetime!
