"It was fun and relaxed and we had the perfect day!”

It’s amazing for everyone at The Vines to hear positive feedback from our beautiful couples’ weddings that we began hosting a few months ago. 

Sophie and Ben Gosnell were all set on a winter wedding at Cooling Castle Barn when lockdown struck – sadly forcing them to postpone their special day. 

Rather than wait more than a year for another suitable date, when they were offered the chance of a summer wedding at sister venue The Vines, they jumped at the chance.

The couple opted for the ‘Festival Style’ package, which allowed for a more laid-back celebration in our huge marquee-style tee-pee and run of our stunning venue, with four different food menus flowing continuously, while guests mingled outside during the afternoon and live music played in the background. 

An evening barbecue, cooked on the massive outdoor grill, while a DJ spun the tunes, completed the evening fun.

The couple had the perfect day. Sophie said: “While we originally booked Cooling Castle Barn, the more relaxed festival style vibe at The Vines ended up being much more up our street. It was a brilliant experience and exceeded our expectations in every way.

“The venue has lots of rooms and space to make use of during the day and the guests all said how amazing it was. The bedrooms are out of this world, with roll top baths and quirky twists and turns and unique features. 

“Every detail was thought of and if it wasn’t, nothing was too much trouble. Becky was our wedding co-ordinator on the day and we couldn’t have got through it without her, she couldn’t do enough for us!

“We had thought about a festival type wedding before, but it was a lot of effort to book everything up, but here you had it all. It was fun and relaxed and we had the perfect day!”
