Finding the right Barn Venue
Finding the right venue is one of the most important parts of barn wedding planning. You'll want to find a barn that is both beautiful and functional. There are a few things to keep in mind when you're looking for a barn venue. First, consider the size of your guest list. You'll need to ensure the barn can accommodate all your guests comfortably. Second, think about the style of the barn and, finally, the location. Is the barn easily accessible for your guests?
We would also highly recommend you read this blog from eeek! Questions to Ask your Wedding Venue - the ultimate guide. It’s jammed full of all the important questions.
Size of Barn Venue
You'll need to make sure the barn can accommodate all your guests comfortably. The last thing you want is for your guests to be squished into a small space!

Style of Barn Venue
What style of barn do you want? There are so many different barns to choose from, each with their own unique charm and character. Do you want a rustic barn with exposed beams and stone walls? Or a more modern barn with clean lines and large windows? Once you've decided on the type of barn you want, it'll be much easier to narrow down your search.
Tregedna Weddings offer a stunning spacious exclusive dry hire venue. The Barn is a blank canvas with exposed beams to decorate and set up as you like. The main barn comfortably seats 90-100 people during the day, with additional capacity to accommodate another 50 guests for the evening.

Next, think about the location of the barn. Is it easily accessible for all your guests? Is there enough parking? And most importantly, is it in a beautiful setting that will make great photos?

What is Dry Hire?
Those new to wedding planning may not be familiar with the term “dry hire wedding”. Dry Hiring means hiring out an empty space so you can decorate it yourself, and it can be a cost-effective way of hosting your big day but will demand a lot of time plus you will need to have great organisational skills!
