Lauren & Arthur's wedding at The Ridgeway Barns, Wiltshire

What a fabulous weekend! Lauren & Arthur were one of the first couples to celebrate their wedding in our newly refurbished Threshing Barn, and boy, didn't they do an amazing job of it!

We first met Lauren and Arthur at our spring showcase day in March 2022, before we had even begun renovating the threshing barn. Despite this, they fell in love with the views, and saw the potential in the venue due to the high standards already achieved in our recently renovated Georgian farmhouse. Event manager Lou quicky established a rapport with the couple, advising them throughout their wedding planning journey, supporting them in the booking of their suppliers, and liaising with the couple and their suppliers as they refined the details for their day.

After months of meticulous planning and preparations, the couple said 'I do' under our beautiful oak framed gazebo, which was adorned with magnificent burnt orange flowers crafted by Izzy from Seed and Stem Florals. The ceremony was followed by a drinks reception on the lawn, with signature Sloegasm's (prosecco & sloe gin) and gin & tonic, served from under our stretch tent.

Lauren and Arthur had corralled an excellent team of friends and suppliers to decorate the barn, including a hand made arch to frame their sweetheart table, a fairy light canopy from Event Style Swindon, and even more stunning florals from Seed and Stem Florals. Lauren had considered every last detail, from home-grown succulents for their wedding favours, to sandals provided for tired dancing feet. They tucked into a delicious feast of Greek style platters, followed by Mexican wraps lovingly prepared by Vaughan's Kitchen and sweet treats including doughnuts from pippins donuts.

Photographer Kylie and videographer James from Storybox Films UK captured beautiful moments throughout the day, including this glorious sunset photo of Lauren and Arthur surrounded by our Wiltshire farmland. The couple and their guests then danced the night away, accompanied by music from the brilliant MOJO Band.
