The Tithe Barn Testimonials

Thank you so much to Holly and The Tithe Barn team - our wedding was even more wonderful than we could’ve imagined. From first enquiry all the way through to the day after the event, the team were BRILLIANT, kind, helpful, and had thought of everything to help the day run smoothly and beautifully! The food was amazing, the groomsmen commented on how little they had needed to do before the ceremony as the team had taken care of it all so well. In the run up to the day, I had sent emails asking some questions just to put my mind at ease, and the team were so responsive and patient. Honestly, I cannot recommend highly enough.
We had a pretty big wedding (160 people) for a ceremony and reception at the venue and the space was perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

— Hannah & Joe, June 2024

We got married here and it was the most magical day from start to finish! The venue looked unreal, the barn itself doesn’t need much to look spectacular as it’s just gorgeous especially if you get the sunshine. Steve who looked after our wedding couldn’t have been more helpful and genuinely wanted to make sure our day went exactly like we wanted which helped all those wedding day nerves. We appreciate all you did Tithe Barn.

— Liam & Megan, June 2024

We just wanted to get in touch to say a huge thanks to you and the team for everything you did in the build-up and on the day for our wedding on 15th June. The venue itself as well as the organisation and of course the food was fantastic and we’re very happy we got married at The Tithe Barn. Your warmness and personal touch during the whole process make the whole thing extra special for us which we are very grateful for.

— Alex & Beth, June 2024

The most perfect wedding venue.
I can’t fault it, the staff are amazing, soo helpful, they respond to any concern us as brides have. The professionalism is on point throughout, the barn itself is to die for. It gives you everything and more for your wedding day photography, I would 1000% recommend this as your chosen wedding venue. Can I do it all again pleaseeee?

— Kirsty & Chris, June 2024

Unbelievable venue from top to bottom, the staff, the area, the food, the service, everything was superb! Couldn’t have asked for the day to go any better than it did! Everything was ran so efficiently.

— Charlotte & Gb, June 2024

We just had our wedding at The Tithe Barn last Friday and it’s difficult to convey how incredible this place is. From the outset incredibly efficient and responsive in terms of enquiries. All the staff were incredibly helpful but special mention to our coordinators on the day, Holly and Dan who helped things run more smoothly than we could have hoped. Left us and our guests wanting for nothing. Holly specifically was very generous with her time in the immediate run up to the day and left us feeling like we had lined up the wedding of our dreams and it even exceeded our expectations on the day. The setting, the food, the service, the relationship with our suppliers, the decor etc. all absolutely first class. Could not recommend this place as a wedding venue enough. Green with envy for those who have their weddings still to come here but extremely fond memories to look back on thanks to The Tithe Barn and all its team.

— Simon & Elly, June 2024

Amazing wedding venue. We were at a friend's wedding there a few weeks ago. The room itself is beautiful, and the views are fantastic.
Staff were brilliant, friendly, efficient, and smart.
Canapés were really nice, and the meal was excellent. I'm not sure how they managed to serve 100 plus people and have everything thing so hot and fresh looking. I'm sure the family style service had something to do with that and also a very sociable way to serve for the guests.
For me, this was the best overall wedding venue I have been to.

— Wedding Guest, May 2024

Tithe Barn were fantastic! From the moment we met them, they were professional, courteous and extremely responsive. They have a wonderful online system which means that it’s easy to contact them through the planning process and they made sure that we felt that we were being properly looked after. On the day, they were fantastic and made sure that everything ran smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Would thoroughly recommend their services

— Gb & Charlotte, April 2024

From the very beginning of the day, Steve (day manager) made us feel at ease and very calmly dealt with any request we threw at him. He made the whole thing feel very easy and everything was done without fuss. The changing around of the room was done so discreetly, barely any of the guests even noticed it had happened. The food was fantastic, as were the staff who again dealt with everything quickly and efficiently with smiles on their faces. To top it all off, the barn looked like a fairytale!

— Brandon & Lizzy, April 2024

I had seen The Tithe Barn on Instagram about a year before I got engaged and I had screenshotted it for the day I would be engaged. I got engaged in 2021 and after viewing a few closer venues (just something was missing) I thought I would just book a visit….. and WOW! As soon as myself, my mum and my now husband stepped foot in the barn, I just knew it was the one for us. Fast forward nearly 2 years we had our wedding day on 8th March and it was everything and more than I could have imagined.
Throughout the whole organising progress, the online website specifically for couples who have booked is so easy to use, the inbox feature is brilliant and any questions I had were responded to in less than 24 hours. Everyone I spoke to both in person (at our second viewing) and on the online inbox was so accommodating from start to end. I cannot tell you how stunning the barn is in person, pictures just don’t do it justice.
Every single person who attended my wedding constantly commented on how it was the most amazing wedding they had been to, not only just for the day but the venue played a massive part in that. Even at the night time, the venue was just beautiful. The surroundings were stunning as I’m sure most people know and I loved how I could see the Abbey from the barn. All the staff on the day were so lovely, especially Holly who was exceptional and always made sure I had a drink in hand, fluffed my dress and was just amazing. I could be here all day, but if you are looking at this venue, please do not hesitate in going for a look around. It will blow you away.

— Lauren & Reece, March 2024

I recently attended as Father of the Bride, a wedding at Bolton Abbey and wish to pass on my thanks. When your daughter gets married you hope for a wonderful and memorable day. Your venue, your team, the whole experience was magnificent and certainly ensured it was. A special thank you to Steve, for his attention to detail. I know the bride and groom had a fabulous day. Thank you.

— Father of the Bride, March 2024

We don’t know where to begin with how utterly amazing yesterday was - it was the best day of our lives and that is all thanks to you and your team for the highest level of coordination and planning. We can’t thank you enough for making our day run so smoothly. The food was amazing, the service was brilliant and everything in between was just perfect.
Thank you will never be enough - it was everything and more than we imagined it would be. We will never forget it.

— Liam & Laura, March 2024

We had an absolutely brilliant day, it truly was the best day of our lives.
We can’t thank you all enough- the service you have all provided from start to finish has been second to none, making a stressful event incredibly stress free!

— Genna & Courtney, February 2024

I frequent this venue to set Wedding cakes up. It’s stunning, easily accessible and the most friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you.

— Chloe’s Cakes North Yorkshire, February 2024

It's one of the best places for celebrations with family and friends. Delicious food, cocktail bar, and space for a fun night.

— Wedding Guest, January 2024

What a fantastic venue with stunning views.
The food was fantastic. Definitely the best wedding venue I’ve ever been to. Nothing was too much for them. They definitely go the extra mile and beyond.

— Wedding Guest, January 2024

Such a perfect venue for couples looking for the ultimate Yorkshire Dales Wedding. I've been lucky enough to photograph many weddings at this beautiful venue and they are always well run and totally stress free. The view of Bolton Abbey from the garden is totally unique.

— Martyn Hand Photography, January 2024

We got married in December 2023 at the Tithe Barn, Bolton Abbey, and so many guests commented on how beautiful the venue was. It required very little decor because everything looked perfect as it was. The food was lovely (lots of comments about the dauphinoise potatoes in particular!). I emailed quite a few times prior to the event and always received a quick and helpful response. Julia was great in the run up to the wedding, and Holly and Laura could not have done a better job on the day/night. Thank you for a wonderful wedding!

— Ciara & John, December 2023

We had our wedding at this stunning venue in the first week of December 2023, and WOW! It really couldn’t have been more perfect. The lighting was amazing and it was so cosy, classy and warm. The food was incredible and we added the pizzas for the evening and I can honestly say that they were the best pizzas I have ever eaten. The staff were patient and polite and a special mention to Julia and our Registrar who were both really fantastic and made everything feel so so special. Julia also did our flowers for our wedding and they were exquisite, a very talented lady. The sound system is awesome too. Finally the stunning surroundings of the Yorkshire countryside and all its small local stone villages really does seal the deal. This venue is perfection, its staff are wonderful and the surroundings are so beautiful. 10/10. Could not recommend more highly.

— Iain & Jen, December 2023

Just stunning. What a beautiful wedding venue
Amazing views. Amazing food.
Perfect.

— Wedding Guest, October 2023

We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Tithe Barn Bolton Abbey, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish.
Holly and her team's attention to detail was outstanding. They ensured that every aspect of our day was perfect, and their responsiveness throughout the planning process was greatly appreciated. The venue itself is truly stunning, with a rich history and picturesque surroundings. It provided the perfect backdrop for our special day, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. And let's not forget the food! The culinary experience at Tithe Barn Bolton Abbey was superb. Our guests are still talking about the delicious menu, and the catering team's expertise shone through. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire Tithe Barn team who made our wedding day unforgettable. We highly recommend Tithe Barn Bolton Abbey to anyone seeking a magical and hassle-free wedding venue.

— Jenovic & Georgie, September 2023

We cannot thank all the staff at the Tithe Barn enough (especially Julia) for their help in making our wedding day the best day of our lives. They were incredibly responsive to all of our questions and just made the day run so seamlessly. The food was absolutely amazing, and a lot of our guests commented on the variety and options available - our request for a couple of different dishes was also accommodated for by the head chef (including our favourite - the beetroot, goats cheese salad!!). And where to even start with the barn? Just the most beautiful and perfect location for a Yorkshire wedding. Don’t hesitate to book here! 

— Hannah & Sam, August 2023

We just wanted to drop you a message to give you all a huge thank you for everything you did leading up to the wedding and on the actual day itself.
In the lead up you answered any questions that we had and were super helpful and responsive with everything. You made the planning process so smooth - from the initial viewing, the planning meeting to responding to any little question - you were amazing!
On the wedding day itself, you were all once again fantastic. We would like to say a special thank you to Sharon who was totally incredible. She was kind, personable and a total superwoman on the day!! It all ran so seamlessly - despite the rain and wind! We genuinely could not have chosen a better venue to get married at. Not only did the barn look beautiful but all the staff helped to make the day what it was - which was absolutely perfect!! 

— Anna & Ash, August 2023

We’ve always loved Bolton Abbey and it is particularly special to my family so it was always going to be an option for us to get married when the time came.
We looked at a couple of different options but as soon as we saw the Tithe Barn we knew it was the one. All the decoration that makes the barn so beautiful is included and the staff were unbelievable.
I was initially a little sceptical about the messaging system they have to keep in contact with the bride and groom but actually it worked surprisingly well. Messages were always answered and always within less than 24hrs, which really helps with planning and keeps things as stress free as possible.
I think it’s worth mentioning the food because we found it so brilliant. We went to a couple of feast nights because food was important to us and we wanted to get the menu right. We loved everything we chose and the people with dietary requirements especially all commented on how good the food was, it was lovely that they didn’t feel forgotten.
On our wedding day, the team were so slick and prepared. My husband had a checklist of everything he needed to do when he arrived at the venue but the team had already done everything by the time he had arrived, again making the process so easy and stress free. I know that there is a debate as to whether you need a wedding coordinator to go alongside a venue coordinator but our opinion is that it’s just not necessary here. The Tithe Barn team were amazing and we couldn’t recommend them more.

— Alexia & Marc-Alban, August 2023

I can honestly say our wedding at The Tithe Barn was everything we could have dreamed of and more. The building itself is out of this world with the most beautiful views, it is picture perfect!! The team were fantastic to communicate with and responded consistently via the online portal. All of our guests were in awe of the place and every person I spoke to said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever been to and the food was 10/10. I have never experienced food at a wedding quite like it. Overall the day went smoothly and we will always hold The Tithe Barn with a special place in our hearts.

— Rachael & Alan, August 2023

Wow - we have nothing but positive words to say about The Tithe Barn and the entire team.
We celebrated our wedding just 2 days ago and it was everything we hoped for and more.
Contact throughout the planning process was faultless through the online portal. Adjustments during the day were seamless.
Our guests commented on how stunning the venue was and how amazing the food was.
Best day ever and I wish we could do it all over again.

— Rachael & Andrew, August 2023

Attended a big, Yorkshire wedding here and had a blast. Great food and top service but the location and setting are amazing! The barn is large, very well appointed, superbly and tastefully decorated and is only a few hundred metres from the Abbey. The ceremony, dinner and dance floor were all managed in the same area with staff smoothly and efficiently converting the space between each.

— Wedding Guest, August 2023

Really pretty place, really lovely views, fantastic mix of indoor and outdoor space. The food was lovely and the staff were wonderful.
Super gorgeous wedding venue.

— Wedding Guest, August 2023

We had our wedding at the Tithe Barn and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff were amazing and ran everything so smoothly - from ensuring my dress was ‘floofed’ for pictures to making sure we always had a Pimms in hand. The food was great and just everything in general was super efficient and organised. They literally didn’t let us lift a finger and we were just able to enjoy the day and relax which was amazing.
Thank you!

— Eleanor & Harry, July 2023

THANK YOU THANK YOU for Saturday. We had the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have asked for more from all of your team.
Sharon - so many people commented on how amazing you were and we loved that you kept us healthily hydrated with fizz throughout the afternoon!
We will be shouting from the rooftops about how unbelievable Tithe Barn is! Thank you soooooo much. 

— Rosanna & Markus, July 2023

Oh my goodness it was absolutely incredible! Thank you for organising and leading it so perfectly! We were left with very little to stress about and we’re so incredible grateful for that!

— Laura & Aram, July 2023

Had a fantastic experience - very professional, smooth service and nothing was too much effort. I would highly highly recommend them. Plus the venue is absolutely stunning!

— Felicity & James, July 2023

This was my son's wedding venue and what an amazing place. It’s a dream. Not only is it in a great location but the inside is... well you must visit. Sharon and the team work so hard... it’s like putting on a show. It's really hard to describe but all I can say is... emotional.

— Mother of the Groom, July 2023

We booked with Tithe Barn and had our wedding on Sunday 11th June. From the minute we first enquired up until the day the team were so attentive and went above and beyond to make our day special. On the day everything ran perfectly and the staff were so helpful. The venue is absolutely stunning, set in the most gorgeous grounds of Bolton Abbey. The food is absolutely out of this world, we had the feasting menu and all our guests commented on it being the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding. Thank you so much for everything and for making our day so perfect.

— Jess & Gareth, June 2023

We had our wedding at The Tithe Barn two weeks ago. What an incredible day, from start to finish. Everything was just perfect. The wedding we dreamed of came to life, the venue could not do enough. The day ran so smoothly, and everything ran as it should. Sharon is just the kindest soul, nothing was too much she was only ever a phone call or email away for any queries. Checking in throughout the day, as well as the other staff too making sure everything was okay.
It’s the dreamiest venue ever, as soon as we walked in we cancelled all our other viewings two years ago as we knew this place was the one. We would do it all again tomorrow. We literally had the best day of our lives.
Thank you so much to the team at The Tithe Barn, for making our day so perfect and looking after us and our guests on our special day. You guys really are something special.

— Mollie & Jack, June 2023

The perfect venue for the best day of our lives! What a spectacular day. We were so well looked after by the team and I felt confident that the day would unfold perfectly, and it did. No stone was left unturned, and at various stages of our planning we had contact to discuss any questions we had.
Would recommend going to a feast night which we did with both sets of parents and really got us excited for the day, as well as being able to sample the food.
We wish we could do it all again!

— Oliver & Olivia, June 2023

There are no words to describe this venue. We are humbly thankful for your hospitality, how much time and effort spent to make it a special day. We had a spectacular time at your venue, thank you. We highly recommend this venue for all others.

— Wedding guest, June 2023

We had the best day we could have ever imagined. Special thanks to you, Freya and the rest of the team for bringing our vision together. It was honestly incredible. Friends and family just haven’t stopped telling us how amazing the barn is and how great the food was. The singing waiters also loved performing at a new venue.

Thank you so much again for everything. What a day!!”

— Zoe & Nathan, April 2023

I just wanted to personally thank you for an absolutely fabulous day. Beth and Dean's wedding was just perfect and I really felt in safe hands with you. I wouldn't have changed a thing. We were extremely impressed with the whole day and all the organisation leading up to it and how efficient and professional you are. The staff were all an absolute delight. It was the best day of my life watching my precious daughter get married. The food was outstanding and everybody commented on it. The lemon tart was the best I've ever tasted.

— Mother of the Bride, March 2023

We have been privileged to photograph many weddings at The Tithe Barn and we absolutely love the venue.
The staff are brilliant! Especially Sharon who makes your day flow like absolute clockwork , the food is some of the best you can have and we have seen lots of wedding food over the years. When you walk into the venue you are blown away by the historic architecture and romantic atmosphere. The Cripps team have made this place come alive!
On the grounds and in the local area there are loads of great opportunities for fantastic wedding photographs.
In the evening there is a fantastic sound system and loads of space for a packed dance floor even with a large live band playing too.
We always look forward to working at Tithe Barn and can't wait to photograph there again soon.

— Paul Joseph Photography, January 2023

As the only venue we viewed, we were enchanted by the Tithe Barn from the moment we first walked in. The warmth and beauty of the venue instantly set inspiration in motion for us, and with its soft glow, we decided it was the perfect reception setting for a winter wedding - plus it’s proximity to the beautiful Bolton Priory is an added bonus for those wanting a church service.
From the point of booking we were set up with an online portal which gave us clear guidance on when payments were due, what options we had chosen for our food/drink, and a direct chat function with the venue team. This was really helpful for a quick reference and any questions were always answered promptly. Throughout planning, Sharon and her team were incredibly helpful at planning meetings and if we wanted to drop in and see the venue for any reason. The chefs were fantastic at accommodating guests with dietary requirements, providing details of alternative options in advance. They also very kindly allowed us to personalise elements of our food options too. When it came to the big day, our guests were delighted to be welcomed so warmly from church. The drinks were perfect, the food delicious, and the running of everything very smooth. Every single one of my guests has commented on what a wonderful venue it was and how great the staff were. Our band sounded brilliant on the barn’s sound system, and we all danced the night away. The venue staying open until 1am is a real added bonus too. All in all, an amazing day at an utterly incredible venue. Thank you so much to every member of staff who helped make our day so special!

  — Sophie & Jack, December 2022

Couldn't recommend the Tithe Barn more highly - we got married here in November 2022 and the whole experience was fabulous. All the way through the planning process the team were amazing with quick responses to any questions and helping us along the way with timelines. The team on the day were brilliant, set everything up exactly how we'd imagined and ensured the day ran so smoothly. We had so many compliments on the food and the beautiful venue and are so pleased we booked here.

  — Olivia & Ben, November 2022

We haven’t stopped talking about our magical wedding every day. We and all our friends and family, thought it was spectacular in every way. A friend texted me the other day to say she was still fantasising about fillets of beef and seared tuna! Thank you for such seamless and trouble free organisation, to your wonderful staff in the kitchen, serving guests, behind the bar and behind the scenes. It was perfect.

— Fiona & Stephen, October 2022

We recently got married at The Tithe Barn, and couldn't recommend this venue more.
The quality of the food is something that was very important to us for our wedding, and our expectations were met. The food was fantastic! The team was very professional, personable and attentive, and helped our day to go without a hitch. The team kept me calm and made sure that everything was taken care of, which resulted in a completely wonderful and stress-free day. Thank you so much. We loved every second!!

  — Bryonie & James, August 2022

From start to finish everything about our wedding at The Tithe Barn has been perfect. The staff were attentive and made the whole experience stress free, any queries were responded to straight away, the online portal made getting in touch and seeing payments etc really easy. They worked well with all our suppliers and our wedding day ran seamlessly. The food was incredible and the venue itself is beautiful, all our guests were blown away. Our only regret is that it is now all over! A huge thanks to Emily and Liam who worked tirelessly on our wedding day to make sure we were super happy and to Sharon who ensured everything before the wedding was planned to a T.

  — Amelia & Oliver, July 2022

The team were great and put on the most amazing wedding. We had the best day and our guests loved every minute. The food was great and the cocktails were delicious. The most beautiful venue and the best wedding day, more than we could have hoped for.

— Seema & Habib, May 2022

My Husband and I had a fantastic experience with Sharon and the team at The Tithe Barn! I have always wanted to get married in Bolton Abbey having grown up in the area, but with busy lives in London, we relied heavily on Sharon and our wedding planner, Rosie Green, to create, coordinate and run our perfect day. The food was incredible, the communication was quick and the day ran smoothly so we just had to enjoy the ride. A huge thank you to the team for everything, we couldn't have wished for a more perfect wedding.

— Kate & Keir, April 2022

Right from viewing The Tithe Barn in Sept 2019 through to our big day, Sharon and the rest of Team Tithe have been just brilliant.
This was the first and last venue we viewed - we immediately fell in love with it. The barn is like something out of a fairy tale and matched by the professionalism and more importantly, the extremely helpful and lovely staff. On our big day, everything ran like clockwork and the team working were just on the ball, and you almost forget they were there. The food is out of this world and the chef and his team, brilliant! I heard a number of times that the lemon tart was the best ever. If you are considering this venue, do go to one of their feast nights and try out the food and wine - a brilliant way to help decide on your menu. Our wedding was the bestest day ever, and The Tithe Barn and team contributed a lot to this... don't think twice... just book it!!!

— Sara & Darren, April, 2022

Wow, what an incredible setting for a wedding! We looked at several venues and were blown away by The Tithe Barn. Set in the idyllic Yorkshire Dales, overlooking Bolton Abbey, this venue had everything you could possibly want for the perfect wedding day, with decorations included (fairy lights, lanterns, greenery etc.) in the cost. The team were incredibly helpful and responded quickly to any questions that came up ensuring a stress free, seamless day that ran to perfection. The food was delicious, and we received many comments from the guests that this was the best wedding and food they had ever experienced. The guests could watch the chefs at work during the afternoon which was a unique feature of the barn, and enjoyed toasting marshmallows on the firepits in the evening. We would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple searching for their perfect rustic wedding venue.

— Becky & Joe, April 2022

Sharon and the team were so helpful in the two and a half years it took to plan our wedding.
The barn is the dream venue and all of our guests were gobsmacked when entering and it is still something everyone talks about now almost 9 months later, alongside the amazing food.
We had the best day and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Tithe Barn and the team will always hold a special place in our hearts.

— Emily & Michael, December 2021

Sharon and the team did a wonderful job from the very beginning with our virtual viewing, to keeping us updated with every change, and we were super well looked after on the day. They had thought of everything down to the smallest detail which was really reassuring during planning, and made our day so special. The venue is even more beautiful in real life and the food was exceptional. From the wonderful Feast Night tasting where you can sample almost everything on the menu with your loved ones, to the day itself where everything was delicious (we had so many compliments from all our guests)! One really lovely feature inside the barn is the glazed kitchen where you can see it all happen and go and guests could have a gander at the impressive rotisserie ovens. The terrace outside was the perfect space with beautiful views down towards the abbey ruins. We couldn’t have wanted anything more from The Tithe Barn, and would highly recommend them to any couple!

— Jessica & James, September 2021

STOP! Look no further. You will not find a more perfect wedding venue filled with people who love your wedding as much as you do.
Positioned in the most picturesque location, the barn is stunning from top to bottom and they have left no stone unturned in turning this historic building into a dream wedding venue. But photos will show you this. What you will not see is the people, the dedication, care, passion and love that is poured into making your day as magical as you hope. The team at The Tithe Barn make this place special, you will not find better. When I visited the barn I fell in love with the venue, now I go forward with a new love for some very wonderful people, especially Sharon. The Tithe Barn will be the best decision you make. I promise.

— Jonathan & Beth, September 2021

The venue speaks for itself and is breath-takingly beautiful, but the what gives Tithe its edge as the perfect wedding venue is the team who run it. Sharon and her team were everything we could have asked for and more. No matter what happens on your wedding day Sharon knows how to handle it and will ensure any stress is removed from you so you can enjoy your day. Our guests cannot stop complimenting how well the day was run! If you're debating getting married here - do it. We are hoping to return as guests soon so we can enjoy the barn once again!

— Georgie & Tom, August 2021

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish with The Tithe Barn, can't express how available they were throughout the whole planning process especially with keeping us updated on any covid related updates that were being installed! Sharon and Julia were so helpful. The online portal to communicate and check over all the details of the wedding is brilliant.
The day itself was amazing, the barn is truly stunning and barely even needs any extra decorations! The food was magnificent, and the staff were first class and adapted to covid rules so impressively. We will be back for feast nights to reminisce for years to come.

— Dave & Natalie, July 2021

A massive thank you to you all at The Tithe Barn for the excellent feast night we attended last night.
We were all absolutely bowled over with everything about the venue... the actual barn, the amazing food, definitely the wine and most importantly the service from everyone.
It was a fantastic evening and our wedding suddenly feels very real! It even helped myself and my bridesmaids decide on the colour for their dresses... thank you

  — Sara & Darren, January 2020

We had the most amazing day, thank you. The barn is absolutely spectacular, and Julia and the team were excellent. All expectations were exceeded! 
Many thanks for everything.

 — Sophie & Joshua, December 2019

The venue and the staff were more than we could ever have imagined. And a day we will never forget.
All the guests loved the venue and the food was amazing.

Thank you for all your help.

— Sarah & Oliver, December 2019

A massive ‘Thank You’ to all the Tithe Barn team. The food was just stunning, and the barn looked fantastic. Thanks so much for setting the venue up so perfectly. We had the most amazing day, with every single guest commenting on how fantastic the venue was. We appreciated everything you all did.

— Abigayle & Joshua, December 2019

We wanted to thank all your staff for the most incredible day.

You made us feel very welcome and everything was so calmly and gracefully arranged. You were there whenever we needed you and just made us feel so at ease. We didn't worry about a thing as you took care of everything so perfectly.

The venue looked astonishing and everyone commented on how brilliant the food was.

We couldn't be happier! 

— Joanne & Simon, December 2019

We had the best experience with The Tithe Barn and their amazing staff. Sharon and Emily were on hand to answer any questions in the build up and made sure the day itself ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for more! Thank you to everyone involved, and especially the chefs, we had a lot of comments on the amazing food!

— Amy & Jordan, November 2019

A massive thank you to the barn for your part in making our day run so smoothly and so enjoyable. We loved every minute of it and got so many comments about how gorgeous the setting was and some saying how it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. 

Thanks to Sharon and Emily in particular, they were fab all day.

 — Jenny & Chai, November 2019

We haven’t stopped talking about our magical wedding every day. We and all our friends and family, thought it was spectacular in every way. A friend texted me the other day to say she was still fantasising about fillets of beef and seared tuna!

Thank you for such seamless and trouble free organisation, to your wonderful staff in the kitchen, serving guests, behind the bar and behind the scenes. It was perfect.

 — Fiona & Stephen, October 2019


Thank you so much for everything the whole team at Tithe Barn did for our wedding day. It was so special and ran ever so smoothly. We had great compliments on the food, which was delicious.

— Melissa & James, October 2019

Thank you so much to all the team at Tithe Barn for all your help in support in making our wedding day so special. From start to finish you were so patient and supportive, answering big and small (and ridiculous!) questions at any time. All our guests raved about the venue and food in particular, it really is a special venue. 

— Laura & Richard, October 2019

Thank you so much for all your help, we had the perfect day, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. The Tithe Barn team were so efficient and hard working and we really do appreciate all your efforts in making the day run so smoothly.

— Patricia & James, October 2019

Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more - the venue, the food, the coordination of the day, everything surpassed our expectations and our guests absolutely loved it.

 — Mel & Andy, October 2019

My husband and I have spent many a day walking our dog at Bolton abbey and when we started planning our big day we knew we wanted it to be somewhere that means something to us. We visited the barn when it was still a building site.. hard hats and all, but the views out the back, the plans and the detailed knowledge of the staff gave us the confidence to feel sure this was the venue for us. When we returned for a visit once the barn had opened we were lost for words- this venue is truly beautiful. We were impressed throughout the planning process by the efficient communication from the team, no question too small. When the day came everything went wonderfully. We were blessed by an unexpected hot sunny day in September and this just added to the glory of the venue. Every guest commented on setting and the relaxed but organised feel to the day. This was something that sold us on this venue. One of our favourite memories was sitting down to eat and watching our guests laughing and talking as they put on their chef’s hats and dished our the food. No venue compares to this

— Naomi & Joshua, September 2019

Thanks for making our wedding day super special. The feedback we have had has been incredible. It ran just like we wanted it to, it was amazing. Everyone is calling it the wedding of the year!  

You really are a dream team, the barn is one thing but the food and the customer service also make it a fairytale wedding venue.

 — Rebecca & Chris, September 2019 

We had the most perfect day. Our guests had the best time and many of them commented on the amazing venue and how brilliant the staff were, especially for the seamless transition between the ceremony and dining tables being set out.

Emily was absolutely fantastic, as were the rest of the team. We can’t thank you all enough for making our journey to being man and wife so enjoyable and easy.

 — Amy & Adam, September 2019

It was absolutely perfect! Sharon was great along with the rest of the staff, food and overall atmosphere. Thank you to all of you who were working that day to make it so special for us.

— Neil & Rob, August 2019

We cannot thank the wonderful staff at The Tithe Barn enough, for what was the best day of our lives. The barn, the setting, the food, the staff, absolutely everything about the day was amazing!

 — Kate & Paul, August 2019

Thank you to everyone who made our day so special, please can you also personally thank Sharon for the amazing job she did on the day.

 — Emma & Dan, August 2019

Thank you all so much for the best day of our lives. You made it truly magical it was everything we ever dreamed and more.

— Bryony & Christopher, August 2019

We cannot thank the wonderful staff at Tithe Barn enough, for what was the best day of our lives. The barn, the setting, the food, the staff, absolutely everything about the day was amazing!

 — Kate & Paul, August 2017

Thank you so much to all of the team at The Tithe Barn for making yesterday the most wonderful day ever. We loved every single moment and will remember it forever. The whole day ran like clockwork thanks to everyones hard work and we truly appreciate it. Thank you.

 — Laura & Matthew, August 2019

Our wedding at The Tithe Barn was perfect! Having grown up around Bolton Abbey when we saw this venue was opening we knew it was for us. The interior has been executed with such detail the whole place looks stunning. Prior to the day the whole team were so helpful and every detail got looked after. Everything was perfectly delivered on the day and nothing was a problem. You could tell the team appreciate that it's your day and are willing to help make it as personal as possible. So many guests told us how fantastic the food was and as quite a fussy eater myself I thought it was brilliant. Such a wide choice that there's something for everyone.

 — Zoe & Harry, July 2019

Our wedding was fantastic and you were great. A special thank you to Emily, we had such a special day and it went nice and smoothly because of you so thank you again.  

 — Charlotte & Mathew, July 2019

What a wonderful day we had. Everyone loved the Barn—including the Ceilidh band who thought it was perfect.

Thank you so much for being such a fantastic team.

— Alex & Alex, July 2019

From the moment you step inside the venue your breath is taken away - there truly is no other venue like it. The location is absolutely perfect and has an amazing view of the Abbey. The team were extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process and made our experience completely stress free. Food was delicious and our veggie menu even had the hesitant meat eaters telling us how amazing it was! Everything was spectacular but words simply don’t do justice to the venue or the team. 

— Hannah & Alex, July 2019

Thank you so much for the all of your efforts yesterday. Sophie and I had the most incredible day, and all our guests loved it as well. Please pass on our thanks to all the staff working throughout the day and night.

— Sophie & Lee, July 2019

We both just smile every time we think about it. Everyone says your wedding day is the best day of your lives - and it truly was. If you are considering having your wedding here - don't think any more. From our initial meeting in March 2018 to the day it self, the process couldn't have been easier. The communication through the portal was always so quick and it was so easy to keep track of the invoices and food choices. On the day, it all ran perfectly. Your team are a true credit, acted professionally all day and never felt intrusive. The venue has been beautifully refurbished and you can’t get a more perfect setting! Thank you all again for the most perfect day

— Katie & James, July 2019

Tithe Barn is a truly stunning venue! One of my friends who got married recently told me she had serious barn-envy of this place. The food was incredible - both the steak and the veggie options were fantastic. Massive portions, and served "family-style" which got everyone on the tables talking. On the day the staff were fantastically helpful - Emily, the on the day coordinator, ensured that everything ran smoothly and allowed me and my partner to totally relax.

— Sarah & Adam, July 2019

My husband and I got married at the Tithe Barn last month and it really was the best day of my life. Not only is the barn absolutely breath taking but everything is just executed to perfection. We knew the barn was for us when we visited it in December 2017, before it had been renovated. Even then we fell in love with it. The renovation did exceed all expectations though and it was truly wonderful. Before I got married, people had told me that it would be the most stressful time with all the planning and arranging. I'm guessing these people didn't get married at the Tithe Barn! The planning was an absolute joy and the staff at the barn made this an absolute breeze, nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend this place enough and I would do everything again in a heartbeat.

— Louise & Ben, July 2019

We loved every minute of the day! The venue is stunning and just looks incredible, our pictures are beautiful. The staff are great, they are so professional and made the whole day run so smoothly. We were also very grateful for all their help and quick replies to emails in the planning of the wedding.
Thank you so much for making our wedding perfect.

— Bethany & Stephen, July 2019

We literally had the time of our lives and everything was perfect, we've had lots of people complement the venue and food as well.
 

  — Helen & Samuel, July 2019

Thanks so much for the teams help, we had high expectations for the day and the venue and all were far exceeded. 

  — Rebecca & Ben, May 2019

We had a great time thank you, thanks for helping make it so amazing, all the guests were very impressed with the full day. 

  — Robyn & David, May 2019

The Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey is a truly magical venue. We can't really begin to explain how amazing our day was thanks to the staff, food & drink and the location & decor. It was a dream come true- 5* location, 5* service, 5* everything. It would not surprise us to see the Barn become one of the UK's most sought after wedding venue! It combines rustic charm with incredible vistas. The team are ruthlessly efficient but incredibly helpful and friendly and will go the extra mile to make your day that extra special.

  — Jo & Nathan, April 2019

We had to bring our wedding forward a year due to a family illness and the staff at the barn (especially Sharon) were so unbelievably helpful and supportive. We arranged our wedding in just 10 weeks and it was perfect thanks to everyone at The Tithe Barn. The barn is just beautiful. All of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever been to. Can't say enough about how amazing the staff were. The food was wonderful and the view from the barn - oh my!

  — Stephanie & Jonathan, April 2019

We had an amazing day! Thank you so much. It was absolutely perfect.

  — Stephanie & Jonathan, April 2019

Thank you so much for everything Sharon. We had the most magical day and everyone said how stunningly beautiful the barn is.

— Joanne & Daniel, April 2019

If you are looking for a venue for your dream day then honestly look no further! We first discovered The Tithe Barn when the vision for the conversion was just a bunch of concept sketches and there was still a digger inside, but immediately we knew the space was going to be incredible. We watched the progression of the building online and couldn't believe our eyes when we came for the Feast Night (highly recommend doing this as it changed a fair few of our food choices!). The venue was more incredible than we could have possibly hoped for. The build up to our wedding was seamless with the online portal allowing for swift responses from the team. Now to the day... absolutely everything was just simply fantastic. The staff were brilliant and blended into the background whilst also being on hand immediately if needed. We had so many compliments from our guests about the quality (and quantity) of the food - many saying it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We had both our ceremony and reception at the barn and the transition from ceremony set up to reception was flawless - and so quick! Lastly - the views were just breathtaking. We were fortunate enough to have great weather all day which allowed us to get pictures at both the front of the barn and on the terrace overlooking the priory. The garden space has been finished to such a high standard and is fabulous for the drinks reception. If you haven't booked The Tithe Barn yet, just do it. There honestly isn't a better place to get married!

— Lizzie & Sam, April 2019

We had the most amazing day. There is not one thing I can think of that we didn't love. Everyone was amazed at the venue and the food was beautiful! Thank you so much.

— Rachel & Fraser, April 2019

We had the most wonderful day. A big thank you to all the staff for being so attentive and truly looking after us. Everyone commented how lovely all the staff were. The food was outstanding, we couldn't have asked for any better so please pass our complements to the chefs. There were so many comments on the food and the venue, we were really blown away. 

— Louise & Tom, March 2019

The Tithe Barn is just out of this world, what an amazing venue you have got there and I couldn't say enough about how much I enjoyed the day. Everything about it was incredible and with such a relaxed vibe, you really can’t want to ask for more from a venue. You guys were so welcoming and lovely to work with and I really hope I will be back soon.

— Rachel Kenyon (Photographer), February 2019

Wow....What a venue! We had the most AMAZING wedding day at The Tithe Barn Bolton Abbey. It was beyond anything we could have imagined. The barn, the staff, the food.... everything was truly amazing. Since the day, all our guests have raved about the venue and how breathtakingly beautiful it is, and how the food was just out of this world. The staff were brilliant on the lead up - the online portal they use is fantastic and they respond to any questions you have usually within a matter of hours which is great.

— Amy & Sam, February 2019

“What a venue! We had the pleasure of having our wedding at the Tithe Barn and it’ll be a day and a place I’ll never forget. I realise your wedding day is going to be the best day of your life, but I think the staff at the Tithe Barn took the best day of my life and amplified it by 100%. Everything about the day was completely perfect and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The food was incredible - I had several guests pull me to one side and say that they had never had food this good at a wedding. The staff were brilliant, a place as amazing as the Tithe Barn would not work without superb people. They were friendly, approachable and great to deal with all the way throughout. As for the venue itself, WOW! It takes your breath away when you walk in and has a beautiful setting, overlooking Bolton Abbey. This could be the greatest place to get married in Yorkshire!

— Laura & Chris, November 2018

“The Tithe Barn is an absolutely beautiful location for a wedding. We decided to get married here when it was still being renovated and could immediately appreciate how beautiful it was going to be. However, what really sold it to us was the people working there. They were so accommodating and helped us create exactly the day we wanted, giving us a lot of helpful pointers along the way. The food was absolutely incredible and everyone told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had. The people that worked the day were so professional and kept everything so well organised without us even really noticing. It was perfect!

— Sophia & Ben, November 2018

“We had the best day ever, and everyone commented on how stunning the venue is. We can not thank the team enough for all their hard work.

— Victoria & Marco, November 2018

Our best man is looking forward to coming back next summer for his brothers’ wedding. He’ll be a seasoned pro by then!

Truly epic in every way. 

— Dan (Wedding Guest), August 2018

“We were the first couple to view the Tithe Barn in its original state, untouched and still a farm with big plans from the Cripps group. We knew it was the venue for us. One year later the barn was finished with 4 weeks until our wedding date, we booked in to visit and have our final planning meeting. Gillian the manager met us upon arrival and walked us in ... I cried and Gillian cried with me! It blew me away, it is simply stunning and has been restored with such empathy and high quality. The Tithe Barn is a very special building and I can’t recommend anyone to look around enough and see for yourself! Not only is the building amazing the whole process from booking our wedding to the big day has been nothing short of perfection. Everything is made so easy with the online account and regular contact, no question is too small. The team at the Tithe Barn are so professional and dedicated to making your day very special. Gillian, wow what a lady she is and such a perfectionist her organisational and team leading skills are second to none which was handed over to Sharon in the evening, and again Sharon was just as fabulous. The food was delicious with everyone having seconds, you need to try the dauphinoise potatoes! We can’t thank everyone at the Tithe Barn enough, our wedding was just perfect, it really was the best day of our lives. Our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful the barn is, we want to do it all again!

— Nichola & Sam, August 2018

“From our initial meeting, all the way through to coordination on the day, we could not have felt more comfortable. Your attention to detail and overall outlook was so warming yet precise, and left us confident that the venue would be absolutely perfect for our big day. Which of course, it was! The staff were fantastic and effortlessly carried out their tasks with a smile on their faces. 
The venue is absolutely stunning. Literally every guest who attended commented on how spectacular the venue is and I think you have all done a truly magnificent job.
It’s been an absolute pleasure meeting you all and we wish you many more successful weddings in the future!

— Lauren & Neil, August 2018

“Thanks so much to all of the staff for a truly amazing day. Everyone was effusive in their praise for the venue, the organisation and set-up and how lovely all of the staff were. We can’t thank you enough.

— Sonia & Sean, August 2018

“Your setting is out of this world and your organisational skills equally matched this. The staff at the barn were brilliant, professional, friendly and ensured that everything during the day went perfectly. The food was sensational, I’ve never tasted beef like it, wow! There was nothing that you or your staff could have done to make our day any better, thank you so much.
