Your West Midlands Wedding - October/November (Issue 82)

REDHOUSE BARN, B60 4BG 07875 142 493 | www.redhousebarn.co.uk The multi-award-winning Redhouse Barn is a hidden gem nestled in the Worcestershire countryside. Only a mile from the M5, the property has five acres of grounds, landscaped mature gardens, decking and a feature koi pond. Beautifully designed and luxuriously decorated with both contemporary and traditional elements throughout, including slate, limestone and oak floors with full-height glass sliding doors to allow natural light to flood in. The layout of this exclusive-use venue is designed for a great flow throughout, linking the interior and gardens. Guests will be wowed as they arrive through the gates and travel along the gravel drive to the front of these magnificent timber-framed and brick granary barns. An ancient ‘Jinny Ring’ apple press provides an impressive feature to welcome friends and family. The wedding changing room was refurbished in 2018 and provides a stunning facility to start the preparations for the big day. Available from 7am, couples can enjoy breakfast prepared by the chef and his team, whilst the barns are set up by the Redhouse Barn team. There’s also a luxurious honeymoon suite available, with a glass balcony overlooking the gardens. CELEBRATE IN STYLE For a wedding with up to 105 guests, the traditional Redbrick Barn is the perfect setting. Around 200-years-old it has two layout options available – traditional and central. The Redbrick Barn can also be used in the evening for a variety of activities, from a children’s creche to casino tables or Scalextric tracks. The Timber Barn is ideal for nuptials of up to 160 loved ones, it’s flooded with natural light from full-height doors, with underfloor heating for those cooler months and many useful items included from colour co-ordinated linens to a professional lighting rig and light-up LED dancefloor. For outdoor celebrations, the Oak Pergola on the rear lawn is the perfect spot, with a PA system and elegant Philippe Starck clear ghost chairs available. Receptions take place in a range of areas within the barns from the Lounge Bar to the rear Courtyard Gardens, which have a new clear roof, is heated and has an open-sided marquee to keep off the worst of the weather. The main gardens around the pond are also ideal to stroll around during reception drinks and canapés. The Lounge Bar and Snug area provide a more relaxed, comfortable space and is ideally located for accessing all the gardens or main barn areas. WE LOVE... The whole experience at Redhouse Barn is bespoke. Couples will have a personal consultation with the chef to design their food and drink menus, and enjoy a complimentary wine and cheese tasting event. As a special food experience event, the chef and his team will prepare the chosen wedding breakfast prior to the wedding (at a small subsidised cost) to give couples the opportunity to try their menu and make any changes required before the big day. THE BARN AT DROVERS, HR3 6AG 07748 146 862 | www.droversrest.co.uk The Barn At Drovers is a stunning 16th-century venue situated on a working organic farm.

CELEBRATE IN STYLE The venue is made up of two barns, the Rustic Barn has a wagon wheel and wooden ladders suspended by steel beams, old potato box slats for the walls and plenty of straw bales.
