Hi lovely Monkton team,
I'll send a proper 'thank you' soon but I just wanted to say that we had such a wonderful time and your staff were absolutely exceptional. Everyone commented on how lovely the bar staff were in particular, and thank you to the lovely bartender who kept providing me with alcohol free G+Ts the whole evening, before I'd even asked! Made me feel very special! 🙂
Every element was dealt with so well, the food was amazing and everyone was so impressed with the venue. So a big thank you from us! It was exactly what we wanted.

Dear Peter, Wendy, James and Gabriela -
It's been a long time coming but we got the wedding day we always dreamed of - thanks for your time, effort and expertise. We stuck with you and Monkton Barn through a pandemic and we want to come back again and again! Your whole team are wonderful. Peter you are a LEGEND and we will remember our planning parties with great fondness. Wendy - you are SO talented and we were grateful for the quieter moments we had with you. James - TOP NOSH! Gabriela - you are a force to be reckoned with! We were in good hands, thanks to you.

With heartfelt thanks,
Lucy & Michael

To Peter and the team, thank you so much for your hospitality. We had such fun planing our day and felt quite at home here by time the wedding rolled around. James supplied us with some fabulous food and we will always remember our tasting session, as it was our first 'night out' away from our newborn baby. Gabriela was so relaxed and efficient and made us feel confident that she had everything under control. Peter was so friendly and really sold the excitement of the day!

Our guests loved the beautiful meadow and the impressive olive tree in the courtyard! The day turned out better than we could have imagined. Thank you again - and we hope to see you again soon for a lazy Sunday lunch!

Lucy & Daniel (and baby Penelope)

Dear Peter, Wendy, Gabriela, James and all the team at Monkton Barn, Thank you all sooo much for your hard work and lovely welcoming, generous and warm service. We had the BEST DAY EVER yesterday at our wedding. We can't thank you enqough for calmly steering us through the pandemic and crazy weather forecast leasding up to our day. In the end it was so perfect. We had so many compliments (so, you really!!) about the beautiful venue and the amazing food.
I wish we could do it all over again! Can't wait for Wendy's photos.
Lots of love - Emma & Steve

Dear Peter, Gabriela and James, thank you so much for making the the best day of our lives even better!
We had to overcome a global pandemic and postponing our original date, but it was worth it so that we could benefit from the fantastic addition of Gabriela, James and the whole team at Monkton! Our guests were so complimentary of the beautiful setting and fabulous food.
We hope to find another excuse to see you in the future!, Lots of love, Maeve & Dave.

We cannot thank you enough for making our day so special – from start to finish you have all been so helpful and relaxed. The day was perfect for us and you all worked so hard to ensure it ran seamlessly.
Eloise, thank you for being so positive, smiley and helpful – even at 2am when I am sure you would rather have been tucked up in bed!
Thank you so much.

We can’t honestly thank you enough for all the wonderful help, advice and kindness that you have shown and provided. Its been one of the best nights of our lives. The best night of my life! And to have you as part of our special day has been amazing. Your venue is fantastic. You promised us fine weather – and that’s exactly what we got! I will leave some room for Camille…but thank you from the bottom of heart – David
Thank you so much for everything – you are great and your place is beautiful. You made our wedding day so perfect and magical. We are the happiest! Everything was better than we ever could have dreamed of – thanks again.

Thank you so much for helping to make my daughter’s wedding day so so special. The venue was just perfect and you all worked so hard. Remember Eloise, you really should be a wedding planner! You are a total STAR!!!
Thanks with all my heart.

We had an incredible time celebrating our wedding here! You made our day such a pleasure! Peter had guaranteed us a sunny day and he fully delivered – no cloud in sight! Our guests’ absolutely loved the venue. It was so lovely. Our day went seamlessly and it was just bliss!
Eloise, you are AMAZING! What a treasure you are to the Monkton family. You made us feel so comfortable, we had zero worries!
Thanks you again, all our love

Thank you so much for sharing our wedding with us and letting all of our guests enjoy your beautiful venue. We loved the Prosecco service by Eloise & Emily and we haven’t heard anything but great things from our guests! The day went smoothly and to plan and all your preferred suppliers made it what is was.
Thanks so much for a day we’ll always remember.

Thank you for making our wedding day dreams come true! We had a day that was far beyond anything we could have imagined. We had so many comments on how memorable and fun the day was. Eloise – you are a saint! Thank you so much. Wendy – you made it run like clockwork. I can’t wait to see the photos. We are so happy we chose Monkton Barn. We couldn’t have asked for more.
What a beautiful location and we can’t wait to see the photographs. Many thanks again to everyone.

Thank you so much for making Roger & Chrissy’s special day even more special! Everyone had a super day, thanks to your caring and helpful staff – it went so smoothly and was so much fun!
What a beautiful location and we can’t wait to see the photographs. Many thanks again to everyone.

Thank you so much for all your help and support in making Helen and Rich’s wedding celebration such a prefect day.
The location is obviously spectacular but it was the ease of setting up the day before, lack of rush combined with your availability and support that made it all such a pleasure. The guests had a great time too! Thanks again.

A massive thank you for hosting our wedding. We were able to realise our vision of a relaxed, laid-back, crazy day with all of our loved ones. To sum up how we feel; we felt like Monkton was our home and we’d invited all our friends and family for an impromptu house party.
Eloise in particular, was exceptional on the day and no task was too much trouble. She even managed to make a highly strung bride feel calm. Amazing food from Mel and OF COURSE, the irreplaceable Peter. Thank you all.

Peter, where do we even begin! Charlie and I loved your endless enthusiasm, brilliant ideas and all your help from the very get go. Monkton is the most beautiful venue and you make an exceptional host. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding day. We will forever cherish our memories made here.

Wendy went above and beyond taking the most amazing photos that really did capture the spirit of our wedding. Wendy was friendly and professional and great at gathering and instructing our guests to photos whilst seamlessly blending in. We love all the photos and it was almost an impossible task whittling down the photos for the album. Would definitely recommend Wendy!

Thanks so much for making our son and daughter-in-law’s day so very special. What a venue! Your flexibility also much appreciated! AMAZING VENUE! 10/10.

My daughter and her husband have had the best day of their lives at Monkton Barn. Peter and his team have looked after us to perfection and his wife Wendy, is an amazing photographer and a nice lady with a wonderful manner with everyone. As the father of the bride, I cannot recommend this fantastic venue highly enough.
I would have to single-out the maÎtre d’ as being special of Peter’s staff. Eloise went beyond what we would call normal working hours. Still there at 2 in the morning sorting out the smallest of problems i.e. bringing a large container of logs to the bonfire, and doing this with a big smile on her face – a very special lady.
If I had to mark Monkton Barn from 1 to 5 stars, I’d give it TEN! We fell in love with the friendliness and warmth of everyone that looked after us. Thank you Peter and Wendy and all your team.

Where to start! The moment we turned up to view Monkton Barn we fell in love! With the view, the calm vibe and most of all Peter and Wendy.Nothing is too much and you always made us feel special. We were not just another wedding out of many.
The Big Day! Full of love, happiness and fun! So may people said it was the best wedding they had been to and that the venue was amazing! I can’t explain how perfect our day was; it has been the perfect way to embark on our new adventures!
All our love…

Thank you so much for everything. Monkton Barn is a truly beautiful venue, which was perfect and made our special day even more so.
You were all amazing, nothing was too much…you’ve all helped us with one of our best days of our lives and we cannot wait to continue are ventures.

We got married in June last year at the beautiful Monkton Barn, where Wendy has done an incredible job of capturing our special day. The attention to detail and the skill Wendy has behind a camera lens is outstanding especially when faced with all weathers from dark grey skies, rain showers to beautiful blue skies and blazing sun our photographs just pop with all the different elements and colours! We were truly overwhelmed with the photographs Wendy had taken and couldn’t wait to start the hard part of choosing which to go in our album – which is faultless, the quality and presentation is perfect. During the day Wendy was an absolute dream, keeping our guests in line & together for our requested photographs, to blending in and photographing so many natural moments it was lovely to look back at all our family & friends enjoying themselves, it is so true what they say a photograph speaks a thousand words!
We can’t thank you enough Wendy for capturing all those magical moments of one of the best days of our lives xx

Thank you so much for hosting the best day of our lives (so far!). All of our guests have already said how much they enjoyed every minute – the sun was shining (a miracle!), and we even got to play our beloved cricket on the meadow.
Thank you and your teams for all the hard work, dedication and flexibility in making our vision a reality. We will truly never forget it.

Thank you just isn’t a big enough word to describe how grateful we are for everything you’ve done for us. Every minute of our day was amazing and every inch of our dream wedding came to life at Monkton Barn.
Eloise – what a woman! Mel – just a superstar! Peter – the life and soul of Monkton Barn! Wendy – a fab photographer! With enormous thanks!

We could not thank Wendy enough for the stunning photographs that she took on our wedding day. We briefed that we wanted natural and candid shots and she absolutely delivered. Such a sweet and caring individual who throughout the day, went out of her way to ensure that we were comfortable but also faded into the background so we didn't even notice some of the shots were being taken. Thank you so much Wendy.

WOW!!! 120 people all jumping at the same time was a sight to behold! Beautiful setting, fabulous barn and lovely, efficient staff all made for a perfect evening. We’ve been inundated with messages about this being the best party ever and we couldn’t have done it without you all. Thank you.

Dear all who were involved in helping to create the best day ever! Thank you so much for being so accommodating, helpful and efficient. None of you went unnoticed and we are extremely for you all and a massive shout-out to Peter and Mel, but especially to Eloise who was just truly fantastic.
It will be a day to remember for the rest of our lives. The weather certainly made its mark but regardless of the gale force winds, it was truly a perfect day.

Dear Peter and all – Thank you so much for making our wedding so special. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. You and your team are amazing. All the best.

Dear Peter and all – thank you for having us at your wonderful Monkton Barn. We had a very special and incredible day. You even made the sun shine! Such smooth running, all made effortless by your hard work. Every moment appreciated.

Dear Peter, Mel and all at Monkton Barn – what can we say…AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for everything. We had the time of our lives. Everything we dreamed of and more. You all made it perfect. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for a marvellous wedding venue. Sarah and Mel did a top job and thank you Peter for all your help and hard work. We won’t see you again most likely as we intend on not having another wedding any time soon 😉 Although another wedding might be on the cards so hope that’s the case for our friends!

Right from the very start, when we first saw the venue and met you, we knew this was the place that we wanted to get married and have memories of forever.
Your team went above and beyond at every opportunity, nothing was ever a problem for you; we felt supported and looked after throughout. We could not have asked for a better day – it all went so perfectly and everyone was so happy.
The food was outstanding, the bar staff amazing and Eloise was so great at organising in the morning and huge special thanks to her for doing the music during the ceremony – what an absolute hero. So thanks again to all of you – from Lewis, Katherine and our family, you’re the best and we could not have asked for more!
Maybe see you for an anniversary party in the future – all our love
